“I wonder how the Harper family could be so harsh on their maids? They’re audacious enough to air
such grievances in the public eye?”
“The term mistreated sounds harsh, but when you consider the power and influence the Harpers have,
imagine what they could do to their maids if they wanted to?”
“Who could dare cross the Harper family?”
Indeed, everyone was no stranger to stories of the rich and powerful oppressing the less fortunate.
Some spoke more realistically, though they were careful to avoid sensitive words. But such caution
didn’t quench the public’s fervor. It was like when Damon had to withdraw his negative comments about
Chloe. The more they tried to suppress, the more excited people became.
The topic of the Harpers using their wealth to oppress others lingered for a long time. The impact was
immediate and noticeable. Whispers of unrest started making rounds in the stock market.
Robin was quick to act. Not long after Chloe’s interview ended, he alerted the media. Half an hour later,
a press conference was held at the entrance of Harper Group’s headquarters to address the
allegations of their mistreatment of maids.d2
Upon receiving the news, all reporters hurried to the site.
With a casual elegance, Robin stood on the steps, a faint smile showing on his face, “Thank you all for
coming. I’ve seen the news and I’m distressed by the allegations that we, the Harpers, have been
oppressing our help. We have employed them for many years and never have we heard such
accusations of human rights violations. Our management of our help has always been open and free. If
we were indeed oppressive, it wouldn’t have taken this long for the truth to appear. Moreover, we have
no reason, or even the time, to pick on our help. So, I believe there must be some misunderstanding.
As a matter of fact, just today, Ms. Summers barged into Harper’s Mansion uninvited, took our help
away, and even used force against our butler, which has greatly upset the old man. Before things are
clarified, I will not pass judgement, and I hope everyone can be patient and understand what truly
happened!”
Robin’s words stirred the reporters. Words like “barging into Harper’s Mansion,” and “using force
against the Mansion’s butler” were too conspicuous to ignore.
“What happened exactly?”
“How can we find out the truth?”
Facing the restless reporters, Robin smiled. He made a gesture, and Addie, masked and somewhat
concealed, emerged from behind him. Sharp–eyed reporters started snapping photos even before
Addie reached Robin’s side
Robin silently stepped aside.
Facing so many reporters for the first time, Addie’s legs were shaking. After a while, she took a deep
breath, and with trembling hands, removed her mask. Her beaten and swollen face was exposed to all
the media present.
The reporters went into a frenzy, bombarding her with questions.
“Ma’am, why are you in this condition?”
“Are you the butler of the Harper family?”
“Can you tell us what happened?”
Addie, her swollen eyes squinting at the swarming crowd and the cacophony of questions, involuntarily
‘stepped back.
Robin stood behind her, extending a hand to steady her. “Don’t be nervous, just tell the truth as it is.”
Robin said.
Swallowing, Addie winced as the movement pulled at the wounds on her face. Hatred for Chloe surged
in her heart.
Tears welled up in her swollen eyes and she began to sob, “This afternoon, Mr. Presley was taking a
nap, and I was cleaning with the help. They made some mistakes, and having been supervising them
daily, I lost my patience and scolded them. That’s when Ms. Summers suddenly appeared in the
Harper’s Mansion living room. I was just scolding the help, and they weren’t fond of me, so Ms.
Summers took advantage of their resentment, luring them away with promises of high wages and
freedom, and then encouraged them to attack me.
“I know she often has disagreements with Mr. Presley, and I’m used to following his orders. I know he
used to favor Ms. Wendy, and having watched Ms. Wendy grow up, I naturally have some personal
bias towards her, often favoring her a little more. Ms. Chloe’s smart, and she could see that. This time it
was clear she came to cause trouble. Not only did she cause me pain, but when Mr. Presley found out,
he was extremely upset.
“The Harpers are good to us. It’s the help who are ungrateful! They can’t stand a few scoldings and
have to throw mud at the Harpers. It’s unforgivable. That’s the truth. The Harper family has never
mistreated or persecuted their help! If they did, it would have come out a long time ago, not now! And,
Ms. Summers was the one who barged in. She came in like a storm, looking for trouble. Just look at me
now. I’m just a help, how could I…”
Choked with sobs, Addie paused to wipe tears from her eyes, looking as pitiful as could be. Though her
account lacked a coherent narrative, it was clear enough. To sum it up. Chloe broke into the Harper
family -home, probably due to some dissatisfaction with the Harpers, looking to stir up trouble.
It was true that she assaulted the butler, took away the help, and upset the old man.
Everyone knew that the atmosphere between Ms. Summers and Presley at the Alonso family’s
business dinner was as tense as a drawn bowstring. Especially considering Presley had sent a
message, specifically to strip the privileges of the Harper family’s eldest grandson. All of this could
potentially be the reason why….. Chloe targeted the Harper family. Getting back at them seemed like
the natural consequence.
With this, all the pieces of the puzzle seemed to fall into place.
Having understood the truth of the matter, everyone outright dismissed the words of the servant.
“Did Ms. Summers only take away the servants when she went to the Harper family? What about the
rest? What else did she do?” The reporters asked.
Since she did go to the Harper family, and caused a stir, taking the servants seemed like a chance
encounter with Addie scolding a servant. She grabbed the chance to make a point. Shouldn’t there be
more to the story?!
Addie nodded, “She didn’t plan on seeing the old man when she entered the Harper Mansion, instead
she
went to…”
“Alright!” Robin suddenly stepped forward, interrupting her words with a light pat on her shoulder.
“Since everything has been explained, let’s move on.”
Addie, wiping her tears, nodded. Although she had just adjusted, she stepped back.
