Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife -
Chapter 175
Chapter 175: Chapter 175
"So, this is the real tea." Rosemary hit the play button at triple speed.
The video showed a cargo truck pulling up at the front gate at half past five in the afternoon. The housekeeper, Martha, and several servants went out to unload the truck.
Louisa, sitting on the sofa, suddenly recalled that in the middle of each month, the household groceries were delivered by a special driver.
From the angle of the security camera, the truck door opened, and the servants started hauling stuff–bags of rice, assorted seasonings, and barrels of cooking oil–into the house.
Martha, carrying two barrels of oil, tripped over the threshold and took a tumble, spilling oil everywhere.
The servants, hearing the commotion, tried to help, but Martha stopped them. Judging by her gestures,she was warning them about the oil spill and the risk of slipping.
One of the servant pointed at her clothes, probably suggesting she change out of her soiled clothes.
Taking a look at her own clothes, Martha then called the driver over, seemingly questioning why the lids of the oil barrels weren’t secured.
After a while, Martha finally went inside to change her clothes.
Perhaps due to the passage of time, she forgot to have someone clean up the oil spill.
At first glance, it seemed like a series of unfortunate accidents, but Rosemary smelled a rat....
Firstly, Martha was Serena’s personal nanny and had no business helping out with the groceries.
Secondly, she waited until all the servants were inside before she went to the truck to fetch the oil barrels.
While fetching the oil, she dallied, probably taking some time to unscrew the lids. The truck door conveniently blocked her actions from view, only showing her standing there for a while.
Having been in the household for many years, she would know where the security cameras were pointed. So she intentionally tripped at the entrance, making it seem like an accident.
"Sir, Ma’am, it’s all my fault! I was just trying to lend a hand and didn’t realize the oil barrels weren’t properly sealed. They asked me to change my clothes, and right after I did, Serena asked me to join
her for snacks. I didn’t want to refuse Serena’s kindness, and I completely forgot about the spilled oil on the floor. It’s all my fault!" Martha feigned regret, attempting to get up to apologize but being forced to
sit back down due to her injuries.
"Why weren’t the lids secured?" Louisa asked coldly. "And why wasn’t the spill cleaned up? Martha, when you and Serena fell, you should’ve remembered this incident. But when I asked you why you fell, you didn’t mention it! And you didn’t say a word when Holly was falsely accusing Rose!"
"I’m sorry, Ma’am! I’m in so much pain from the fall that all I could think about was the pain. Plus, my old age has made my mind quite sluggish; please punish me! "I’m truly sorry, Ma’am! I misspoke out of
concern for Serena’s injury; please forgive me!" Holly apologized anxiously.
Another servant quickly explained; "After we moved all the stuff inside, Serena thanked us for our hard work and offered us some snacks. We were so caught up in, eating that we forgot about the spill."
She finished, her head hanging low.
"The truck driver mentioned that they might not have checked the goods properly before the delivery.
Something similar happened last year."
"Ma’am, we are all to blame; please punish us!"
"Punishment?" Louisa looked down on them with a haughty gaze. "Of course you’re getting punished! If Rose hadn’t restored the surveillance, how badly would you have misunderstood her by now? She
wouldn’t have been able to prove her innocence!"
"Sorry, Ms. Rose!" The servants were shaking in their boots and quickly kneeling down. "We’re sorry,madam; we’re sorry, Serena; it’s all our fault."
It was all because they were so greedy for snacks, and Serena was always chatting with them and entertaining them, so they completely forgot about their duties. "Martha, your job is to take care of Serena. Although you meant well by helping out, you spilled oil. You should’ve called someone else to clean it up. You said you’re old and forgot; I can understand that, given you’ve been looking after
Serena for eighteen years. But now look at the mess you’ve made. I’ll dock you a month’s pay. Don’t make the same mistake again."
"Thank you for your understanding, madam!" Martha, feeling grateful, shot a defiant glance at Rosemary,as if to say, "What can you do to me?"
Rosemary curled her lips slightly, as if everything was going exactly as she expected.
"As for you lot, you got so carried away with your snacks that you forgot to clean up, causing Serena to fall and nearly causing Rosemary to be misunderstood. I’m docking two months’ pay from all of you!"
"Thank you for your understanding, madam!" The servants felt grateful and relieved that they weren’t being fired.
The Collins family was known for their generous treatment of servants!
"And you!" Louisa’s gaze landed on Lily. "You know exactly what you said just now!"
Lily quickly knelt down. Madam, it’s all my fault. Serena’s been so good to me all these years, and seeing her get hurt like that, I panicked and misunderstood Ms. Rose. I’ll apologize to Ms. Rose!"
She had said earlier that if she really misunderstood Rosemary, she would bow in apology!
Now, she walked up to Rosemary and said, "Ms. Rose, I misspoke out of anxiety earlier, please forgive me! I’m from a rural area, and I didn’t receive much education! Please, I beg of you, in consideration of
the twelve years I’ve worked for this family, forgive me this once. I bow in apology to you!"
Lily really bent at the waist in apology, bowing deeply and not straightening up for a long while!
No matter what, keeping her job was the most important thing.
Rosemary looked at her indifferently, her lips curling slightly. "Lily, when you deleted the surveillance footage, did you think about how I would be misunderstood, despised, and looked at with strange eyes?"
Everyone was shocked and turned to look at Lily! She deleted the surveillance?
Lily was also shocked for a few seconds. How did she know about this?
"Because this high–end surveillance device, to prevent people with ulterior motives from deleting surveillance, automatically takes a photo with the front camera when deleting, you deleted the half–hour surveillance content but forgot to delete your own photo."
Lily was completely stunned. She had overlooked one detail and ruined herself!
"Ms. Rose, I was wrong; I acted impulsively; please forgive me"
Inside, Martha was extremely anxious because the surveillance device actually didn’t have a front camera. Rosemary was just bluffing. But Lily was too naive and got scared into confessing.
"Even now, you’re not going to tell us who was pulling your strings?" Rosemary looked relaxed, her voice calm and collected.
Lily, however, was scared out of her wits and broke out in a cold sweat, her gaze falling unconsciously on Martha and Serena.
Both of them were also nervous and anxiously watching her, as if to say, "Don’t tell, don’t betray us!"
