Chapter 5 - The Housekeeper And Gardener Confirm Vanessa's Tyranny
The elderly housekeeper stepped hesitantly into the living room, clutching her cleaning apron with shaking, wrinkled hands.
“Mr. Vance... we saw everything she did today, but we were too afraid of losing our jobs to speak up,” she confessed tearfully.
The veteran gardener poked his head in through the open French doors, his weathered face tight with suppressed anger.
“She threatened to fire anyone who reported her abuse to you, sir. She ruled this estate like a dictator,” the gardener added.
Adrian looked at them with a calm, understanding expression, offering no harsh judgment for their silence.
“You are both free of her tyranny starting right now. Collect your severance pay from my private accountant in the morning,” Adrian ordered.
