Chapter 293: He knows the truth

Looking down at the chopper, Tori cursed mentally, but quickly composed her expression before she turned her head to look at Stella.

Forcing a smile, she answered, "There’s nothing to worry. Look my hand is still in good shape. I won’t burden you with my work" Tori watched Stella’s lips twitch in anger.

Since the day, Stella took over the kitchen, she had been trying to control her. Instead of contributing, she would only stand and command her

Sensing the annoyance on Stella’s face, Tori let out a soft chuckle and resume back with the chopping.

"You think, I don’t understand what you are trying to do?" Stella inched a little closer toward Tori and asked. She has been trying to tame this young girl but gets pissed by her.

"What do you think I am trying to do Stella," Tori asked shrugging her shoulder. She knew her behavior would only irritate Stella and she wanted to see how she would react.

"You.." gnashing her teeth Stella was about to scold Tori but before she could say a word Tori turned pointing the chopping knife right in front of her face.

Tori’s playful aura was replaced with a serious one. Her eyes had turned dark as she slowly inched the knife closer to Stella’s face.

"W-what are you doing Tori? Pull back that knife " Stella’s face turned pale and she stepped back. Sweat broke on her forehead when she saw Tori’s lips curled into a wicked smile.

"Good to see that fear in your eyes. You better be that way or else, it won’t take any time to slit that beautiful face of yours" Tori warned, and the next second smiled leaving Stella clueless.

"Now, don’t waste your time standing here ad watching my face. Get back to work" she ordered and Stella quickly reacted to her words.

Once they were done with the job, Stella quickly dashed to her quarter and shut the door close. She then reached towards the small drawer next to her bed and opened it taking out a secret phone.

Dialing a number she then waited for the person who answer the call and when it happened she squeal in fear.

"Boss your doubt towards Tori was right. She isn’t the way she appears to be." Stella felt a shiver run down her spine recalling the knife Tori pointed at her.

Richard on the hand fumed at Stella’s words. Sitting on the couch, of his private villa, he fumed. He had been a little skeptical about Tori since the day she lied about being inside her room when Piper was being taken to the hospital.

Slowly raising his eyes ahead, he recalled the moment when he went to meet Piper inside the hospital room.

Flashback.

After Piper’s condition was stabilized, she urge the doctors to let her meet him. Being one of his loyal servants, Richard couldn’t ignore her request and quickly agreed.

Once he was inside the room, Richard was shocked to see Piper eyeing his direction. The more he looked at her the more he felt sorry watching her helpless situation.

Walking towards her bed, he pulled the chair and sat on it. Piper was like his sister, who took care of his entire house and daughter like her own and now he wanted to repay all her good doing by treating her.

Piper opened her mouth to speak but words fail to come out and that broke the old lady into tears.

"Don’t cry Piper, everything is going to be okay. These doctors here are top-notch, they will heal you" Richard couldn’t watch the lady cry silently.

Piper shook her head denying his assuring words. "N-no" she whispered barely but was enough for Ricard to hear.

Snapping his eyes wide he looked at Piper in confusion. "What do you mean? Don’t you believe my words" he asked.

Piper shook her head in denial and lightly patted her fingers slowly on the side of her bed.

Moving his eyes he saw a letter under her palm and he quickly understood what she meant. Taking the letter from her hand, he opened it and read it.

It was a spare letter of the original one she wrote just in case, Richard does read the one placed in one of his files.

Richard’s eyes widen in shock after reading the letter and looked at Piper in disbelief.

"Is everything written inside this letter true?" Richard asked.

Piper closed her eyes agreeing to his question and watched the man crumble the letter in his palm.

He couldn’t believe Tori was a spy sent into his house but why would someone do that?

Richard racked his brain thinking if he somehow made enemies but even after a lot of thought, he couldn’t find one. Then what was Tori’s motive behind stepping into his Brown mansion?

Richard now understood, everything that happened with Piper somehow had something to do with Tori and he had to get deeper into this matter to find out what was the girl up to.

End of flashback

Richard clutch the phone in his hand firmly. Never for once, it crossed his mind that Tori’s might end up being this dangerous.

"Okay now, relax. You can’t panic like this Stella" Richard tried to comfort his assistant whom he had appointed as the head chef. No one in the family knew about Stella as she never once entered the mansion and Richard took it as a chance to stalk Tori.

"But boss.. what if she again charges on me with a knife, with the intention of killing me" Stella was scared to hell. The girls she was trying to annoy was dangerous.

"No, she won’t, not unless we do the same mistake that Piper did" Richard had analyzed everything. There were times when Piper tried to warn him about the suspicious acts being carried out in the house, but he was too stupid to understand.

There was a pause between the two when she heard Richard speak," Now listen to me very carefully Stella..." and with that, he started instructing her a few things.

Getting his words she then ended the call and quickly composed herself before she stepped out of the room.
