Chapter 247 Demi
"What kind of work is Demi in charge of?" Belle really didn''t remember much about this Demi, so he
couldn''t help but ask.
"She is responsible for washing Madam''s clothes, serving three meals, sometimes serving some tea
and such when Ruth is not around, of course the hygiene of Madam''s bedroom is her job. Madam does
not like too many people entering her room, but she work fast, so Madam is fond of her. Usually it is
basically Ruth who stays by her side, but Ruth more or less has her own business, and will take some
rest. Then it''s Demi takes her work, so usually you don''t see her." Rosa already knew very well and
exined in details.
Belle was shocked to hear this.
Demi''s role was important. She couldn''t stay by Grandma''s side like Ruth, but if she wanted to do
something, it would be as easy as pie.
To put it bluntly, she was the person who was secretly closest to Sophia, but how did Hanna hook up
with her?
She had spent over a year in Harvey Mansion without knowing Demi, who was someone Grandma
liked and she would came over asionally.
Hanna was an outsider and even when she came to Ink Garden, she had to followed Lexie in. How did
she know such an important person around Sophia?
With doubts in her heart, she nced at the two before walked to the office with Rosa.
After dealing with family matters all morning, with Rosa''s assistance, she finished her work smoothly. At
noon, Rosa answered a phone call and then went out.
"Ruth, is grandma okay now?" Belle went to Grandma''s room, where Ruth was reading the newspaper.
When she saw Belle walk in, she stood up to greet her.
"She is okay." Ruth replied with a smile.
"That''s good." Belle smiled, "Thanks for your hard work, Ruth."
"It is my job." Ruth smiled gently and hurriedly let her sit down, "Mrs. Harvey, you have been busy all
morning, sit down , I will ask someone to bring food here."
Belle nodded and said, "Okay, just ask someone to bring some dishes."

Ruth picked up the phone.
After the two of them sat down, Belle told Ruth about the current situation in Ink Garden, knowing that
she would tell Madam about it when she had the chance.
Only a momentter, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." Ruth spoke indifferently.
Not long after, the door opened and a young woman dressed in Harvey''s overalls walked in with a tray
carrying four dishes and a soup.
Belle looked towards her, only to see that she was fair-skinned, quite beautiful,petent and calm.
Those who could be fond of Sophia were indeed more outstanding than the ordinary people.
"May I have your name? I''m so sorry, I''m now in charge of the family, but I don''t even know the names
of the people in Ink Garden yet. "Belle smiled lightly and asked towards the woman.
That woman carried the tray in one hand, and with the other hand she skillfully took the four dishes and
one soup off the te and ced them on top of the table, which was usually where Grandma and
Ruth usually ate.
After cing the food, she took out bowls from the cab, took out hot towels and handed them to
Belle and Ruth. When she heard Belle''s question, she froze and said with a modest smile, "Mrs.
Harvey, my name is Demi, I do some menial work in the Ink Garden, and usually just take care of
Madam''s food and living. "
"It is menial work to take care of Grandma’s food and living. I didn''t know there was such a beautiful
youngdy around Grandma. It is a pity that I didn''t even know your name. How about we have dinner
together. I am not familiar with Ink Garden, I''d like to ask you to give me more guidance." When Belle
heard that her name was Demi, she smiled friendly and invited her to dinner warmly.
Demi was flustered, not expecting Mrs. Harvey to be so polite to her, so she said with a smile, "Mrs.
Harvey, I''m just a servant, I really don''t dare to eat at the same table with you. We are lucky to have
this job at Harvey Mansion, so if you have any orders, you can let me know. As long as I know, I will
definitely say everything."
She spoke clearly and her mind was flexible, she was really a capable person. Belle nodded.
"Mrs. Harvey, they all have staff canteens, the food there is not bad, I was originally going to eat there
as well, but because Madam needs my help, so I stay here. Please don’t make it difficult for her, if you
need help, you have ask her toe." Ruth said with a smile.
"Since so, I won''t force you." Belle could only smile, picked up the silver chopsticks on the table. She
looked around and asked somewhat strangely, "This is silver chopsticks, right?"
"Exactly." Ruthughed, "Everything Madam uses is still from the past, not to mention these silver
chopsticks, even the bowls Madam uses are silver bowls. These are still the rules set by the old master
when he was alive."
"Oh," Belle pondered, wondering if Madam was wary, or if it was just habit.
"Mrs. Harvey, Ruth, I''ll go out first, I wille back to clean up when you''ve finished eating." Seeing
that there was nothing more for her to do here, Demi said.
"Alright, thank you." Belle smiled at her and nodded.
Demi turned around and walked away.
"Mrs. Harvey, are you doubting Demi?" When Demi had left, Ruth asked in a small voice.
Belle smiled and asked, "Ruth, how is Demi''s usual character?"
Ruth said with a sigh, "Mrs. Harvey, the people Grandma chose should not have any problems with
their character. But people change after a long time, and people''s hearts are often unpredictable."
Ruth knew that the reason why Belle asked about Demi must have her deeper meaning, in fact she
had also thought about this, but she couldn''t find any evidence, and she couldn''t believe that Demi had
the guts to do such a nasty thing, after all, they were highly paid, and Sophia would reward her, so
there was no reason at all to do such silly things.
"Demi is a local, right?" Belle asked in a pensive voice.
"Yes, she is a local, she was quite a smart girl, only because her family was not very well off, she
dropped out of school early and worked here. With this job, she was ecstatic and cherished it very
much, she worked hard and was thrifty, so she was valued by Madam and was kept around
specifically." Ruth exined.
Belle nodded and pondered. Such a person could not reasonably do something so harmful to Sophia,
not to mention Ruth''s disbelief, even she had suppressed her suspicions of her when she heard this.
"In thest few years, she''s been unsessful in finding a match, so she''s hiding things in her heart
and her character became weird." Ruth let out another sigh and further exined, "She and I have
been around Madam for years, so I know her well."
"She is pretty, how can’t she find a boyfriend?" Belle asked, somewhat curiously.
"She is arrogant, though she is a just a maid. She''s already twenty-eight years old now, and I heard
some time ago that a man thought she is a poor family!" Ruth sighed.
"But she is a good-looking girl, and her sry is not bad in Harvey Mansion. "Belle was puzzled.
"She has a find an official or a man with achievement, but that kind of man look down at her. There are
many good-looking girls. She is highly paid, but she is after all a maid, plus her family is poor. When
she gets older, it''s even harder to find a boyfriend." Ruth analyzed seriously.
Women would like to marry a rich man, this was a popr trend, and there was nothing wrong with it.
As the daughter of the deputy mayor, Lexie was still trying to squeeze into the Harvey family as Mrs.
Harvey.
The wifes of the rich family reported in the A City''s entertainment press have envied the eyes of many
women.
There are only a few women who could marry into the gentry, but there are many underground lovers,
such as concubines, and it is due to these women''s love of fame.
The youngdies and young masters of the gentry may have been born to concubines kept by the men
of the gentry, although they live a morous life, the hardships involved and the inheritance of property
in the future may be unknown to outsiders.
Belle fell into silence.
