Chapter 223 Why Are You Smashing It

Maria had been working as a housekeeper for the Rachford family ever since she was young and had been staying by Genevieve’s side for years to take care of her. Wrinkles had since grown around her eyes, and her hair had turned white.

Maria had reached the age where she was nearing death.

“Maria, you know that I have no one else. I have always seen you as family, and everyone close to you is important to me as well. I even said that I would earn enough money so that I could take good care of you and buy you a house where you could live comfortably in retirement. Yet, you’ve been treating me as an outsider.”
