Chapter 116 Mole
“Mrs. Brown, the enemy’s enemy is a friend. So, I want to help you, whether it’s in the company or at your home, I’m willing to serve you wholeheartedly.”
Perhaps it was her experience that softened my heart, or maybe I became curious about her. I asked, “Why do you want to help me?”
“Just because you were willing to let me stay in the first place. Whatever your purpose was, giving me a smile was enough for me,” Alice said, her words like a lone grass in the bleak wind and rain. “If my sister could be as good as you, that would be enough. I just want to live a peaceful life, away from that twisted family. But even that seems impossible!”
“And at the company. After you went to the company last time, Steven Brown came to see me. He asked if I knew the rules and even threatened me not to talk or inquire randomly. I understood that there’s something fishy in the company. The more he acts like this, the more curious I get. So maybe I can help you!”
To be honest, I felt conflicted at this moment, but I believed Alice’s words.
“Do you want to continue staying here?” I asked her.
She shook her head slowly, looking at me and suddenly smiled, a smile that was hard to fathom.
“I don’t need to stay here. Robert has arranged a place for us. Of course, Sherry doesn’t want to take me with her, but she can’t get rid of me! I know her well, she’s a vindictive person. If you drive her away, she won’t give up. With me around, I can at least keep you informed if she makes any move.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Alice spoke sincerely.
I smiled faintly, just as I expected.
Going with the flow, I was happy to have such an ‘inside agent,’ so I gently reminded her, “Thank you! Take care of yourself!”
Alice said lightly, “I don’t have safety anymore; It’s too luxurious for me. You can rest assured, Mrs. Brown! I’m happy to help you!”
We looked at each other, understanding each other without saying a word.
Then she took out her phone and extended it to me, saying, “Add me! It will be useful, I promise.”
I took out my phone, scanned her Whatsapp, and saw her profile picture-a dandelion with white flowers. Alice had a precise understanding of her own position.
After settling everything, she didn’t linger and hurriedly left. Watching her figure disappear, I have to admit I felt a bit heartbroken. It took a long time for my hand, holding the phone, to relax.
Edith came over, softly telling me that the kitchen had been thoroughly cleaned. I specifically instructed her to store Robert’s utensils separately but without raising his suspicion.
Edith, who was in her forties, very neat and efficient. You could tell she was professional by how she organized the kitchen.
I gave instructions about some household matters and then went to pick up the children.
I must say, without Sherry, it was a bit challenging for me to handle both kids on my own. Also, Charles was acting a bit strange, searching for Sherry everywhere when he got home, and he wasn’t very friendly towards Edith.
Luckily, Ollie was sensible. He did his homework and went upstairs to help me soothe his younger brother.
Unexpectedly, in the midst of chaos, there was someone else coming to disturb the peace.
