"How much did you overhear from the conversation between me and Mrs. Mallory?" Susan asked. The maid was responsible for delivering food and drinks to Allison. She was usually the one in contact with Allison.

The maid's body shook as she uttered, "Madam Susan, I didn't hear anything."

"Very well. If someone else knows about what we talked about, I’ll know that you accidentally overheard it and spread the news. You're aware of the consequences, yes?" Susan threatened the maid. Although Old Master Crawford was still in control of the Crawford family, she still had the ability to frame the maid and have her fired.

The maid nodded quickly and said, "I understand. I didn't hear anything."

The maid cleared the cups and snacks on the coffee table. Then, she got a text from Allison, so she immediately went upstairs.

She knocked on the door of the room, and Allison's voice came from inside. "Come in."

The maid opened the bedroom door and saw Allison's face. She was frightened and could not help trembling. She immediately lowered her gaze and asked, "Madam Allison, what can I help you with?"

"Take that bowl out of here. It stinks like hell," Allison said while she pointed to the bowl next to her that contained the herbal concoction. She had only taken two sips before she decided that she did not want it anymore.

The maid came in and picked up the bowl along with the tray.

Allison asked, "Has Madam Mallory left?"

"I think so," the maid replied cautiously. She knew that Allison wanted to get information out of her, so she was careful not to let herself slip. After all, Susan had warned her.

As such, she could only hide what she knew from Allison.

"Did she say anything?" Allison looked at herself in the mirror, her thoughts in turmoil. She covered the mirror with a black cloth.

The maid replied softly, "She chatted with Madam Susan for a while and left."
