“It’s… Young hostess, you’ll know if you go to the main house.”
The housekeeper did not know how to say, thus he can just urge her to go there by herself.
It looked as if the thing was very serious.
Seeing this, Jess feel very bad. She suddenly put down the knife in hand and rushed to the main house.
Hardly had she entered the door when she heard Sophia’s harsh rebuke.
“Did I warn you that never go upstairs without permission? You are brave enough to go up, and you even steal things there!”
Jess saw a maid knelt on the ground trembling in front of Sophia.
When Jess watched carefully, she find that the maid was the daughter of the
housekeeper Jones, named Arlene.
She has been studied with the housekeeper Jones for a long time, and the housekeeper also
seen her as the successor of her position.
When she saw this, she suddenly recalled what she had just heard, she frowned and strode in.
“What’s the matter?”
She asked quietly.
When the housekeeper Jones saw her, she rushed toward her, and her face was full of stress.
“young lady, Sophia said that Arlene had gone upstairs to steal things. There must be some
misunderstanding. Arlene would never go upstairs to steal things. young lady, please give us justice.”
Hearing this, Jess frowned tightly.
But before she could say something, Sophia had lost her temper toward her.
“Jess, looking at the good servant you brought. You said that you would disciplined her well. But now she had stolen things from us!”
Jess pressed her lips and looked at Arlene with a clear complexion.
Noticing Jess’s sight, Arlene trembled all over and said with red eyes, “Young lady, I didn’t steal anything, I really did not steal anything.”
The housekeeper Jones also said??@young lady, you have to believe us, we have been worked at Rogers family for more than ten years. How can we possibly make such a stupid mistake?”
Amelia’s eyes flashed with dissatisfaction when she heard their words.
“If you did not do it, why can we find the steal thing on your body?”
her satirized words left the housekeeper Jones and Arlene in silent and blushing.
That’s a fact they can’t refute!
Seeing this, Amelia looked at Jess proudly.
Jess felt that the situation is quite familiar, but she can not remember it for a moment.
She could do nothing but glance at the housekeeper Jones and then asked, “Mom, what have
you lost?”
“I did not lost anything, you should ask Amelia” said Sophia.
Hearing this, Jess looked at Amelia, and the sense of familiarity in her heart
came again.
Suddenly, she remembered that the lost of office drawings.
She did not know if this woman had used the same trick this time.
Thinking about this, Jess asked again, “Amelia, what did you lost again?”
She asked in a heavy voice on word ‘again’ and tried to remind Amelia of the things happened in the office.
Amelia realized the implication of her word, and she stared at Jess,”The maid stole my bracelet. Although the bracelet was worn out, and I seldom wear it, but it was a gift that Sophia sent me on my birthday two years ago.”
After speaking out, Amelia was afraid Jess doubted her, so she spoke of Sophia again: “Originally, I did not find, but your stupid maid who stole it but did not hide, therefore aunt Sophia find it.”
Jess heard it was found by Sophia, so she knew that it became serious.
Larceny, and then she was caught, but it was to be caught by Sophia. So it was not easy for Amelia to give up.
Her face darkened suddenly and she looked at Sophia.
“Mother, I’ll tell you what happened today.”
When she said, she headed to Arlene and scolded: “Didn’t it to forbid to go upstairs? Why did you go upstairs?”
Arlene heard this reprimand, her eyes full of grievances.
“Mistress, I didn’t think of going upstairs. There was a servant on the side of the main house who said he wanted to bring drinks to miss Morgan. But suddenly he got stomachache.”
“So you sent it up?”
Jess queried with cold voice.
Arlene shrank her shoulders and said, “Originally I refused, but the servant looked really uncomfortable, I… I didn’t think much about it. I just wanted to help him, so I went ahead.”
Jess heard this, obviously she felt there were the tricks.
The main house was so big. How it could be possibly only her in sitting room and no any other servant.
Arlene did not know what she think in the mind, seeing Jess wordless, so she explained again: “Mistress, what I said is totally true, I really did not steal anything, after I gave the drink to miss Morgan, I immediately came out, who knows miss Morgan said I stole things.”
As she said, she was tightly tugging Jess and crying: “Mistress, please trust me that I really did not steal, and I do not know how the bracelet ran to me.”
Looking at her, Jess suddenly had some headache.
It was really hard to say that who stole it. There was no evidence that Arlene did not steal, as for Arlene, she didn’t know well.
She didn’t know whether she stole or not.
Moreover, it did not preclude that someone intentionally framed her up.
On the contrary, she thought the latter was more likely.
After all, Amelia had not done this kind of thing, and Arlene looked so simple and native, not like that kind of people who dare to steal.
But it was her own thoughts, and she need proof that she can handle it.
She looked around, suddenly stared at the monitoring at the corner, squinted: “I find there are the monitoring at home, how about we first investigate, see the monitoring and then make a conclusion?”
Who knew words just fall, it was interrupted by Sophia: “It was investigated early, just indeed as this servant said that it was she that sent drinks upstairs but she went into the room. There is no monitoring in room. although she was really very quickly out, but at that time, there was only her who went into Amelia’s room. It was only her. So the bracelet must be stolen by her.”
After that, it was like that her patience was exhausted, so she impatiently urged: “Now the evidence is full. So are you going to give me an explanation. Otherwise, it was spread out, and it was said to be the beam not straight beam slanted.”
Jess heard her words which seemed to has other meanings, and there was a burst of discomfort in the heart.
She queried coldly: “How could you say that?”
Sophia sneered.
“Don’t you know? A few days ago, you stole the design draft in the company. If it weren’t for Amelia to help you solve it, do you really think I don’t know?”
She said contemptuously: “Fortunately, there is no one in the company who know your identity, or the Chandler Family will become shamed by you. However, You do not repent at home and I really do not know why the old man wanted you such a woman marry in!
Jess was suddenly angry.
She glared darkly at Amelia and sneered: “Miss Morgan’s ability to confound black and white is increasing day by day.”
Amelia heard the irony in her words, and her face turned pale.
After all, they both knew what was going on.
For a moment her eyes flashed with confusion.
But when she glanced at aunt Sophia beside her, she soon regained her composure, straightened her back, raised her chin and said coldly, “Now we are talking about stealing. I hope you will give me an answer.”
Jess looked at her dodging the matter of the office, and there was cold light in her eyes.
“I can give you an answer.”
She answered, but immediately harshly spoke: “But it can’t be concluded that Arlene stole it..”
hearing this, Amelia was conscious to retort.
But it was interrupted by Jess.
” Amelia, my younger sister, please don’t hurry to refute, and listen to me to finish the speech.”
Amelia gnashed teeth, and let her continue to say.
“First of all, it was because the main house servant told Arlene send drinks which caused such a thing, and at that time Arlene also explicitly refused, but the main house servant forced drinks to her, here becomes some fun.”
Jess said, glancing to Sophia and Amelia. And then she continued: ” I remember a few days ago, mom said, without permission, any one cannot go upstairs. Now it is the servant of the main house who first violated of the rules, if you want to punish the people on my side, so is it necessary to punish the servant of the main house first?”
Neither Amelia nor Sophia did not expect that Jess was so sharp-tongued.
The two were told beyond refutation.
In particular, Sophia was furious.
“Oh god. How dare you Ruby, are you accusing me of shielding the bad?”
Amelia saw Sophia angry, quickly appease her.
“Sister-in-law, have you seen that you have made Sophia so angry? this is your people’s problem, sister-in-law, how can you blame aunt Sophia?”
When Sophia heard this, she stared at Jess and sneered: “I think she clearly want to shield, and shirk responsibility. OK, Ruby, I tell you, if you don’t give me a satisfactory answer, today this is so not over!”
Amelia heard this, looking at Jess with schadenfreude.
Naturally Jess was aware of her look, and her eyes was full of anger.
This woman never forgot to make trouble for her.
She severely stared at her eyes and said, “Mother, why are you so excited, I’m just talk about the matter. I’m sure that I will give you a satisfactory answer this matter.”
