Chapter 428

Windermere Estate

At this moment, the entire Abernathy family and all the servants were following the Ward case through television and smartphones. The news left everyone in deep shock, and the estate was buzzing with whispers.

“Ward?! Mrs. Abernathy’s assistant?!”

“Absolutely! That’s him! I had a bad feeling about him the moment I laid eyes on him. Always looked like a bad egg!”

God. Erica. Poor Erica! Such a sweet girl, gone just like that!”

The servants teared up, their sobbing filling the air.

“Erica’s death is half on Elspeth! How could she allow such a dangerous man in the house?! She’s too selfish, do servants‘ lives mean nothing?!” A voice cried out in righteous indignation.

“Do you think our ‘noble‘ lady of the house ever considered us as equals? A maid, who was close with Enca, spat out, “The mother and daughter are nothing but ruthless capitalists, more venomous than a scorpion’s sting! Enca had suffered so much under them. Sometimes, they would call her in the middle of the night, not letting her sleep. Once when she was changing, I saw bruises on her arm. When I asked her if Elspeth and her daughter were mistreating her, she just kept quiet.”

“That’s just heartbreaking! Elspeth and Glynnis are like a pair of barking dogs, always yapping!”

Everyone nodded in agreement. They had long grown tired of Elspeth and Glynnis, feeling helpless against the power of the Abernathy Group

“Alas! Back when Mrs. Evadne Abernathy was still mamed to Mr. Thaddeus Abernathy, she treated all of us well, she always defended us, never put on airs. When she left, she took the last vestige of humanity with her. If not for the money. I’d rather go pick up trash!” “Well, why don’t you go and do just that, stop whining here? A sharp voice suddenly pierced through the chatter, making everyone jumpl

They saw Glynnis, her face red with anger, striding towards them in fugh heels, “What did you just say? Say it again!”

The room fell silent, with everyone too scared to utter a word.

“You cowards, speak up, why aren’t you saying anything now?” Glynnis sneered, her expression full of contempt, “Humph, inferior creatures, no wonder you’re destined to be servants for a lifetime! You better watch your mouth when you’re spending Abemathy’s money! If I hear you mention Evadne again, I swear I’ll have your whole family evicted from Elmsworth?!!

“What did I say wrong?! Do you treat us like human beings?” A young and fiery servant retorted, “We signed a labor contract, not a bondage agreement! We are not the Abernathy family’s dogs!
