When Genevieve saw someone she'd already fired standing in Aurora's villa, she hesitated awkwardly as she opened the door.

"What are you doing here?"

Mrs. Hill replied with a sarcastic tone, "Oh, it's all thanks to Miss Aurora. She saw me working as a cleaner and invited me to be her housekeeper. Unlike some people, who fire others on a whim and deduct wages for no reason, Aurora treats people

generously."

Back when Genevieve dismissed Mrs. Hill from the Montgomery family, the older woman had no choice but to work as a cleaner. The job was exhausting, the pay was meager, and worse, she was only a temporary worker with no job security.

When Aurora saw her at the sales office, she offered Mrs. Hill a job at her home. Aurora even bought her insurance and gave her holiday bonuses. Compared to Genevieve, Aurora was far more generous.

In the past, no one would have dared to speak to Genevieve like this. But now, having lost everything, Genevieve could no longer command the same respect. Mrs. Hill, who had always been outspoken, no longer needed to fear her.

Genevieve knew she'd treated her staff poorly in the past, never showing them respect. Only now, when she had fallen from grace, did she realize her mistakes.

"Mrs. Hill, it's been so long. Do you really need to bring this up? We're here to see Mr. Barnet."

"Mr. Barnet is sleeping. Come back tomorrow," Mrs. Hill said, about to shut the door.

"How can you talk like this? We're here for something important with Julian. Don't regret it if you don't listen," Zachary blurted out, surprised that a former housekeeper dared to act so boldly.

"You two wait here. I'll ask Mr. Barnet if he'll see you," Mrs. Hill replied.
