Chapter 123: "Blaming Elliana"
"Dumping responsibility?" The other maids gasped. Their eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Do you mean...blaming Lady Elliana for the young miss' condition?" One of the smart maids accurately pinpointed the hidden meaning behind her friends' words.
"Yes, that's what I mean! We only need to relay this issue to the higher-ups, and then if they ask us who's in charge, tell them it's Lady Elliana!" The maid nodded.
"I also saw her visiting the young miss last night. We can say that as an excuse." She added.
Upon hearing this, the other maids paused. They looked at each other with a slight hesitation in their eyes.
Indeed, such a method would make them free from suspicion, but didn't that mean they accuse Lady Elliana of whatever happened to the young miss?
That...wouldn't that be too much…
The maid who suggested the idea saw the look in her friends' eyes, and she couldn't help but raise her voice.
"What are you guys thinking about? We are not accusing Lady Elliana. We just let her take responsibility as the young miss' guardian!" The maid spoke with a flushed face.
"If it's Lady Elliana, the higher-ups won't fire her or kill her. But if it's us to blame for this incident, who knows if they will silence us?" The maid added.
The maids instantly nodded, with their body trembling like a lamb waiting to be butchered. Their face paled, and fear grew in their eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIndeed! The higher-ups might just kill them all because of this issue…
The maids were slowly convinced. The look in their eyes changed.
"You're right! Remember, we are just lowly maids! Lady Elliana should handle this kind of problem, not us!" One of the maids immediately agreed with the perpetrator, who suggested the idea.
With one maid agreeing, the rest chose to follow as well.
"Okay, okay, that's a good idea. We should look for Lady Elliana and let her discover the problem of the young miss." One of the maids was even in a hurry to call Elliana to pass on the job.
"Oh, but we shouldn't say that we already noticed the young miss' condition. Let's just tell her that the maids are busy, so Lady Elliana should visit the young miss instead."
"Right, right. Just say that we have to nurse the field forces before they go to war or something…"
"Okay, let's do it! All of us should appear to be busy. Then...the oldest among us should be the one telling Lady Elliana to come over."
With the maids suggesting this and that, they immediately reached an agreement. All of them stealthily exited Ainsley's room and went to do their own jobs.
Only the oldest among the 10 maids went to the library to find Elliana.
Once she was there, she didn't beat around the bush and immediately reported.
"Your excellency, the maids in charge of the young miss' daily necessity are occupied with other matters…"
Before the maid could finish her words, Elliana already lifted her head. Her bright blonde ponytail swayed gently before landing on her front chest.
"What?" The lady's crimson eyes stabbed straight to the maid's eyes, scaring the latter to death.
Such a presence!
The maid hurriedly lowered her head and continued.
"T-the maids can't tend to the young miss' needs. T-they have to take care of the field forces' members before they go to the territorial war, s-so…"
The maid stammered. She couldn't even speak correctly in front of Elliana. She just couldn't stay calm in front of Elliana! The latter constantly emitted a pressuring aura befitting of an expert…
Even if she didn't look like an educated woman, Elliana learned manyings ever since she became Ainsley's guardian. She represented the family, so the lady learnt a lot to make up for her lack of knowledge.
By now, she couldn't be said to be an uneducated lady except for her rough speeches. That's just her trademark.
With such changes, even when the maids secretly looked down on Elliana, they didn't dare to rebuke her upfront.
Upon hearing what the maid said about Ainsley's maids, Elliana's sharp eyes squinted. She looked like a tiger with killing intent flashing through her eyes.
The maid almost fainted.
"W-we are sorry! B-but we suggest y-your excellency to take care of the young miss for the time being!" The maid was on the edge of kneeling on the floor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe didn't realise just how threatening Elliana could be, especially after she got to know Ainsley. It was as if the baby became the lady's reversed scale!
If one mentioned anything negative about that baby, Elliana would glare at them while fiddling with her fingers. Her purple flame flickered in the air, ready to burn anyone to ash.
The maid was already a middle-aged woman, and her heart was fragile. In front of Elliana's prestige, she almost had a heart attack…
"Me? Care...miss?" Elliana paused for a few seconds. She peered at the maid's eyes, and upon seeing the maid was helpless as well, she didn't make it difficult for her.
"...okay." Elliana nodded. If the maids were busy and couldn't take care of Ainsley, she could just do that. There's no need to bother the maids.
Elliana also knew that the maids didn't have a good impression on Ainsley ever since the rumour about the baby's charm ability spread throughout the family.
Alas, she couldn't just fire the maids when their family was already in this state. They needed more manpower. It's not wise to fire the maids when they didn't act too brazen toward Ainsley.
As long as they knew their place, that's enough. But if they dared to bully the young miss…
Elliana's eyes flickered with murderous intent.
I'll kill them!
