Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 279

"I was wondering! We should have been paid three days ago! There are five of us, each with a salary of four thousand dollars and another thousand dollars in compensation. You better settle up quickly! If you don’t pay, I’ll call the cops. You’re an accomplice to this crime since you had us pick the lock!"

Now, Yolanda truly experienced the betrayal of friends, the indifference of society, and the helplessness of not having power and status.

"The Harris family is so rich; would we be short of your salaries?" Yolanda retorted angrily.

"Indeed, the Harris family is loaded!"

"You’re not trying to scare us by saying you’re the richest family in Tranquil City, are you?"

"Right now, it’s your grandmother who’s rich, not you! I heard your grandmother was killed by you guys and left everything to Rosemary, and your parents have been taken to the police station! I also heard that your family has to pay more than three hundred thousand dollars in interest each month, which you can’t afford!"

Yolanda was shocked. She didn’t expect the incidents from her engagement party to have spread so quickly, leaving her incredibly embarrassed.

"Also, look at yourself. Do you even look like a rich girl anymore?"

"No need to say; her family must have gone bust. And those scandal videos were made public. No one wants to be engaged to her, right?"

"The injury on her face must be from the man!"

"She always acts so pure; who would have thought she played so wild in private?"

The maids laughed, and Yolanda was both angry and annoyed. "You!"

"Your video is widely circulated online. I advise you to have some shame and settle our wages quickly!"

This remark left Yolanda stunned. Her image as an innocent, ambitious, and rich girl had completely collapsed. How did the video of her and Wilson spread online? Was it Rosemary’s doing? Thinking of this, she hated Rosemary to the bone!

"Pay our wages now! If not, we won’t let you off!"

"We have been humbly accepting your orders, but now we’re even better off than you!"

"Hahaha, exactly."

The maids blocked Yolanda’s path. In the end, Yolanda had no choice but to give them her ring.

"This ring should be quite expensive! Take it!" Yolanda said it with disdain. It was the ring that Zachary had put on her today. It should be enough to pay their wages, right?

"The rest, consider it charity!" Yolanda said, feeling annoyed.

But the maids were not satisfied. "How do we know if your ring is real or not? What if you’re fooling us with a fake one? You’re the worst person! Even Rosemary is better than you!"

"What did you say?" Yolanda was completely enraged.

"At least Rosemary is honest! You’ll also have to leave your earrings today." The maids started to snatch her earrings.

Yolanda was hurt by their rough actions, and her earlobes started bleeding. Seeing them take the earrings and leave, Yolanda couldn’t catch up and was both angry and anxious. "You wait for me!"

She was Yolanda; she won’t be defeated so easily! The Harris family will definitely bounce back! Just wait and see!

On their way to the Harris Group, Romeo had Rosemary in his lap, taking care of her like a child.

"Have some food first."

Inside the caravan, the chef served them a feast. Romeo forked a piece of steak and held it up to Rosemary’s mouth.

"This is your favorite."

Rosemary had no appetite.

"Try some," Romeo encouraged gently.

Rosemary lifted her eyes. The coldness in her gaze warmed slightly at the sight of him. "You’ve been with me all day; can the group handle things without you?"

"Carl’s handling it." Romeo fed her the steak and forked over another piece. "How’s the taste?"

"Mm." Rosemary merely went through the motions of eating, just to keep him from worrying.

Romeo knew she was still grieving. Her grandmother’s death was a huge blow to her.

"Your Grandma would want you to be happy." Romeo comforted her while feeding her. "If she sees you downcast, she won’t rest in peace. You’ve done well, and none of this is your fault."

It was her Grandma’s poor health that led to the failed surgery. But what Rosemary couldn’t accept was that her grandmother had been tortured before she died! All because of those heartless bastards in the Harris family! Specifically, Olga!

"Those three, if you think they’re too dirty to handle, let me do it," Romeo offered, feeding her more.

But Rosemary was adamant. "I want to personally bring justice for my Grandma." Those three couldn’t get off easy.

"Alright, ask me for help if you need it," Romeo patiently fed her. "Most importantly, don’t punish yourself for their mistakes. You’re not the one who should be punished."

"Mm." As Rosemary listened to his gentle words, she realized this man truly cared about her and worried she might do something foolish. She smiled. Those heartless bastards were still alive; how could she be in trouble? If anyone was in trouble, it should be them!

Meanwhile, the property management was evicting them because Attlee was no longer a villa owner. The belongings of the three of them were piled up outside the old lady’s villa, which was against the rules.

Yolanda swallowed her pride and begged the property management, who finally agreed to give her an hour to move out.

During that hour, Yolanda called many friends for help, but without exception, no one was willing to help, probably because the news of Attlee and Olga being taken to the police station had reached them.

In the end, Yolanda was forced to walk to the nearest pawnshop and pawn all the jewelry around her neck and wrists.

The pawnshop owner, seeing her in her wedding dress and in a mess, deliberately offered a low price.

"Do you even know what you’re dealing with? This necklace and bracelet are top international brands; I bought them for $60,000! And now you only want to give me $5,000?"

"That’s the price here!" The pawnshop owner said indifferently, "If you can’t accept this price, go to another shop!"

Yolanda was penniless. In the end, she had to accept the low price. Once she received the $5,000 in her account, she first contacted the movers to move their belongings to the Harris Group. That place was the last refuge for the Harris family.
