Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Haisley and Laura were taken aback by the sight of Charles dressed in a maid outfit.

They couldn’t help but wonder if he had just returned from a cosplay event.

How else could they explain why a tall and wealthy CEO like him would be wearing such a short, sexy dress?

Nevertheless, they couldn’t deny that he looked stunning in the outfit, despite his muscular physique. His attractiveness left Haisley and Laura in awe.

Manuel approached them, drawn by the commotion. “What’s happening here? Mr. Newton and I could hear your arguments from a mile away.”

Haisley quickly got up from the ground, the shoe print from Charles’ kick still visible on her clothes. “Mr. Newton, I implore you to seek justice on my behalf. She attacked me with a broom when Laura and I went over to check on her while she was cleaning up the yard. Laura can testify, and the entire incident was captured by the surveillance cameras.”

Charles remained silent as a storm brewed in his eyes.

Under normal circumstances, the mere sight of his growing anger would have rendered the housekeepers too fearful to even breathe.

However, Charles’ unconventional appearance, dressed as a beautiful young lady in a wig and maid outfit, seemed to have altered the usual dynamics of the situation.

Ignoring Haisley, Charles directed his gaze toward Whitney, who stood furthest from them. “What’s your side of the story?”

Haisley immediately glared at Whitney, sending a clear warning signal for her to choose her words carefully.

Whitney, however, remained unfazed as she replied, “Haisley passed her task of cleaning up the yard to me and even brought Laura along, intentionally creating a mess. They scattered peanut husks everywhere and disrupted the pile of dried leaves I had swept. So I used the broom against them, and that’s when you two arrived.”

Whitney held the broom in her hand, standing tall as she recounted the series of events while conveniently omitting any mention of seeking Charles’ intervention to punish Haisley and Laura.

“She’s making baseless accusations!” Haisley retorted immediately. “I accidentally disturbed the pile of leaves she had swept, and Laura was simply eating peanuts. It’s normal for a husk or two to drop. You heard her, Mr. Newton. She was the one who hit me first.”

Laura nodded vigorously. “That’s correct, Mr. Newton. I’ve been working for the Newton family for five years and have always performed my duties diligently…”

Charles maintained a poker face as he listened intently. Then, in a cold tone, he asked Haisley, “Did you instruct Whitney to clean up the yard this afternoon?”
