Chapter 33
Camren nodded and said, “Then Miss Adkins, I’ll be leaving.”
Louise nodded and walked over to Grace. Louise commented, “Grace, Brian is so nice to you.”
Grace looked up at her. Although Louise’s voice was soft and gentle, it made Grace’s heart skip a beat.
Grace nervously explained, “Miss Adkins, I think you misunderstood. Mr. Brian is doing this to make your new house safer
to live in.”
“I’m just kidding. Why are you so nervous?” Louise said, smiling.
Grace breathed a sigh of relief. “Does Miss Adkins have any other orders?”
“No. If you’re tired, you can rest for a while. I want to eat short ribs for dinner,” Louise said.
Louise smiled beautifully and went upstairs to her room.
At night, when Brian got home from work, Grace had already finished preparing dinner and returned to her room to rest.
There were only two people at the table, Brian and Louise.
Louise was halfway through the meal when she saw that Brian didn’t plan on telling her about hiring the supervision company, so she took the initiative to mention it herself.
“Brian, you should tell me if you want to hire someone from the supervision company. After all, we are going to live together in the future. Whether it is a small matter or a big matter, we should discuss it together in the future, okay?” Louise said.
Louise put on a generous and reasonable attitude. Coupled with her gentle expression, anyone who saw it would think she
was a sensible woman.
“Then why didn’t you consult with me when you asked Grace to oversee the work?” said Brian, pausing as he ate, looking at
her.
Louise was stunned. The man’s rhetorical question was something she didn’t expect.
“Brian, she’s our maid, after all. Do I need to report to you about how I manage a maid?” Louise asked calmly.
Brian put down his fork and looked at Louise, asking, “Did you know that she was almost molested by a worker today?”
“That can’t be true!” Louise exclaimed, her eyes widened in surprise.
Brian continued, saying, “If it wasn’t for Camren arriving in time to stop it, how far do you think things would have gotten?”
Louise said, ‘Brian, I just asked her to keep an eye on the renovation. I didn’t know that the person doing the renovation would have this kind of character.” Louise’s face turned pale.
“After all, she is now our family’s maid. If something happens to her, we will be held accountable.
“I’m sorry, Brian, I didn’t think it through,” Louise said.

Brian took a breath and said in a deep voice, “In the future, aside from the regular tasks at home, if you make arrangements for other things, let me know in advance.”
“Okay. I’ll go see Grace in a moment and apologize to her while I’m there. She didn’t say anything when she came back. I’ll do my best to comfort her.”
Brian said nothing more about the matter and said, “I’m full.”
He got up and left.
Louise bit her lip.
“He actually scolded me for so long for Grace’s sake!’ Louise thought.
When Louise said she would apologize to Grace in person, she thought Brian would say she didn’t need to.
But he didn’t. Instead, he just got up and left. That meant that Brian felt that she should apologize to Grace.
After Louise had eaten, she knocked on Grace’s door.
“Miss Adkins, what’s the matter?” Grace asked.
Louise scanned Grace’s room and asked, “Can I come in?”
Grace was stunned and said, “Miss Adkins can come in if you don’t mind my
humble abode.”
“Grace, I’m sorry”
Louise walked into the room, looking at Grace with a guilty face.
Grace didn’t know why Louise suddenly said that. Grace asked, “Miss Adkins,
what’s wrong with you?”
“It’s all my fault for letting you go and help with the renovation. I didn’t expect to almost hurt you!” Louise said guiltily, taking Grace’s hand.
Grace was stunned. ‘She must have learned this from Brian, right?
“Did she come over to apologize herself, or did Brian tell her to come?’ Grace
thought,
Grace’s thoughts were a little complicated. ‘Why did Brian mention this to Louise? Doesn’t he love Louise very much? Doesn’t telling her all this add to her
psychological pressure?’ Grace thought.
Grace found she couldn’t understand Brian anymore. Brian acting like this made
her think that he still cared for her just a little bit.
This assumption only brought Grace more pain.
“Grace, why don’t you speak? Are you still blaming me?” Louise asked.
Grace returned to her senses and said, “No, I don’t blame you. It’s the worker’s problem. It’s not your fault.”
“You don’t blame me? That’s great!” Louise sniffed and hugged Grace gently. The expression on Louise’s face turned sinister where Grace didn’t see it.
Louise’s hug made Grace feel uncomfortable. Thankfully, Louise let go of her
after a while.

“By the way, Grace, I heard Brian say that you were recommended by a distant
relative of his, right?”
After Louise said this, she stared at Grace’s face intently, not missing a single
expression.
Grace was slightly stunned momentarily and then sald calmly, “Well, yes. What’s
wrong?”
Louise’s heart sank.
‘Brian lied to me! Louise thought.

“It’s nothing. I just thought that since you’ll be leaving in a little more than two
months, I’m quite reluctant to part with you.”
Grace thought Louise was acting a little strange but couldn’t pinpoint what was
odd about Louise.
Louise didn’t sit long before leaving. Closing the door, Louise’s face went
completely cold.
‘Dammit! Which worker wanted to molest her? If you dare to do it, why don’t you
finish the job? So useless!’ Louise thought.
Louise stared at the door hatefully.
“Grace, we could have been fine with each other, but you dared to seduce my
man. From today onwards, I will make you. beg for death!*
The next day. Louise went out early in the morning. Melvin said that she went
back to the Adkins family.
Marshall was not at home. Only Ava and her mother were home, so Ava’s
attitude worsened when she saw Louise come
home.
“Louise, what are you doing here? You bastard child!” Ava exclaimed,
