Paula never imagined that a former nanny from her household would dare to speak to her in such a manner. She raised her hand, ready to strike Martha.

The caregiver stepped forward, attempting to dissuade her, “Madam, this elderly lady is in poor health, so you shouldn’t hit her as you please. If you refuse to comply, I will have no choice but to call the police.”
