“What did they say?”

Treyton furrowed his brows, waiting with great interest for his response.

“Mr. Ferguson has locked Ms. Ferguson up, and she is not allowed to come out without his consent.” the butler replied respectfully.

Treyton snorted. “That’s good. At least she won’t be able to come to Fairlake and cause trouble anymore. Finally, we’ll have some peace and quiet for a while.”

He waved his hand, signaling the servant to leave, and continued to stare at the two closed doors of the

room.

In the Ferguson residence in Salinsburgh, Eloise was in her room, throwing a tantrum.

“Dad is being so unreasonable! How could he lock me in my room and not even let me out the door!”

The housekeeper timidly approached and gently comforted her, “Ms. Ferguson, don’t be too upset. You’re just being grounded. It will pass if you stay quietly at home for a while.”

“You know nothing! Get out of here!”

Eloise yanked all the fresh flowers out of the vase and hurled them at the housekeeper. “Get out of here! Stop bothering me!”

Not satisfied, she grabbed the vase and furiously smashed it on the ground.

“Ms. Ferguson, this is absolutely unacceptable! This is a crystal vase Mrs. Ferguson brought back from Ferropene. It’s invaluable! You can’t break it!”

The housekeeper looked at the vase with a broken corner, feeling heartbroken but not daring to step forward and stop her.

“These things belong to my family, and I can smash them however I want! How dare you, a mere housekeeper, try to boss me around? I’ll rip your tongue out if you dare to talk back again!”

She pushed all the cosmetics off the table, and the crisp sounds of them shattering on the floor were quite jarring.

The housekeeper knew trying to advise her was useless as it would only bring more trouble upon herself, so she simply closed her mouth, shut the door, and left.
