The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Scarlett's laugh made everyone stunned.

All the maids froze, realizing that Young Miss didn't believe what they said. They start to panic.

If the young miss suspected that they let Lauren take a lot of valuables from this house, they would be in deep trouble. But deep down, they also believe it's impossible. Young Miss knows it. There is no proof! Because all CCTV footage has been deleted.

They exchanged glances as if asking each other, "What to do!?" through their eyes.

While they were at a loss of how to face the young miss, a female voice suddenly resounded from behind.

In unison, they looked at Ms. Liam with a smile.  Their savior has finally arrived!

"Young Miss Scarlett, sorry I'm late. I just finished my errands outside and can only come now." Ms. Liam says apologetically, but her expression looks disdainful. As she silently said it through the look in her eyes, 'it was your fault that you came unannounced.'

"Oh, really!? What kind of task are you doing, if I may ask!?" Her turquoise eyes narrowed slightly at the housekeeper as her lips smiled like spring, but inside, she was cursing this woman. She dislikes her a lot.

This woman made Aunt Lana's life suffer. This woman is Lauren's loyal minion.

And Scarlett knew from the CCTV footage that this woman had just met Lauren at a nearby cafe, but she had lied to her. How dare she!

All the maids who were there looked tense. With worried eyes, they looked at Ms. Liam.

"Young Miss, I just bought some groceries. So, I went to the nearest supermarket…." She replied calmly. "If I had known that young miss would be home today, of course, I wouldn't have gone anywhere and waited for you."

"Very good! Now that everyone is here. I will finish what I was about to tell you earlier." Scarlett paused for a moment while her eyes fell on the confused and worried faces of the maids who had worked in this house for several years under Lauren's command.

After satisfied torture their curiosity, she smiled before continuing her words.

"...because my father has separated from Lauren. And my sister has also passed away. So this house will be vacant. So, we don't need your labor anymore, and today is your last working day here. Please see Mr. David Irvin for legal matters and your compensation. And I hope you all leave this house today!"

Instantly the room went into an uproar. All the maids panicked at the sudden firing. They had absolutely no idea that it would happen this quickly.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "How could she fire us today!?"

"Oh my god! How can I get a new job fast? I, I... need my monthly earnings to help my parents." A maidservant stammered.

"Is the young Miss Scarlett doing this on purpose? Why did she suddenly fire us!?" The old driver said to the man beside him, but the man was also still in a daze, too shocked by what he heard. He was speechless.

"Ms. Liam, please help. W-we can't lose our jobs so soon!" Another maid approached Ms. Liam, who stood without saying anything. She seemed frozen where she stood.

"Yes, Ms. Liam... Please talk to the young miss for us. She will definitely hear you..."

"Ms. Liam, help us! I can't stop working here. This household is the best place I've worked so far... And they paid us dearly..." The young maid started to cry. Ms. Liam's hands clenched tightly at her colleagues' words. In fact, they were in a panic, and she was too.

Ms. Liam didn't expect Young Miss Scarlett to do this to them just a day after Madam Lauren signed the divorce papers.

She narrowed her eyes on Scarlett. Then a few moments later, she walked to Scarlett and said, "Young Miss, please don't do this to us. We have worked for the Piers family for many years. You can't fire us like this. We..." Before she could finish her words, Scarlett stopped her.

Ms. Liam frowned in annoyance but couldn't do anything to Scarlett. She didn't have the Madam who used to stand behind her and protect her. Ms. Liam could only hold back her anger hearing Scarlett's words while clenching her fists intensely. It was so intense that she could feel her palms hurting so much.

"...I know. But as I said before, this house will be vacant. No one will live here anymore. So, this is the best for you and my family. Now, you guys can talk to my lawyer!"

Scarlett smiled at Ms. Liam and ignored her angry-looking face. She walked towards David.

"David, after you are done with them. You wait. Uncle Adams will come to take over this place," said Scarlett. She would return to the hotel before going to Ocean Group with James.

"Yes, young Miss Scarlett. I will take care of everything. Don't worry..." David replied.

"Thank you. See you at the office! Meeting after lunch, right!?" After Scarlett saw David nod, she left the room.

Scarlett didn't want to talk to Ms. Liam and all the maids anymore. Don't want to waste time here.

As for this house? Of course, this house will not be empty. This house will still be lived by Anthony Piers, but all the workers have been fired by Lauren. That's why Scarlett called Uncle Adams; he was the former housekeeper in this house.

Scarlett trusted Uncle Adams to take care of this house and to help her father when he left the hospital.

Soon...

Scarlett went to the hotel. But on the way to the hotel, she noticed that a black car had followed her. It has been following her ever since leaving her house.

Instantly she felt alert and took a closer look at the vehicle behind.

After a few minutes, the black car was still following her vehicle closely. Her heart beat faster when she realized the car behind her was blatantly following her and wanted to hurt her.

A mischievous smile emerged from the corner of her lips while driving her car leisurely.
