Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

The servant, who was squatting on the ground to clean up the mess, suddenly pounced over and hugged Lianne’s leg. “Ms.
Blake, you can’t call the police. If you call the police, I won’t be able to explain this matter clearly and I’ll have to go to jail. My
sister is sick and I still have two sons to raise. My eldest son will be taking his SATS next year and his results are very good now.
If I go to jail, it will affect his studies.” “Why didn’t you think about your two sons when you were stealing? Why didn’t you think
about whether your son would be willing to have a thief as his mother or not?” Lianne retorted. The servant tried to deny it. “I
didn’t steal it. I really didn’t steal. May and Yoyo can testify.” May Felch and Yoyo Thorne were the names of the other two
servants. When their names were called, they immediately came over to testify. “Ms. Blake, she really didn’t steal anything. She
just took the wrong receipt.” ‘Take a guess. Do you think the boss of Zac’s Recycling Center can recognize all of you?” When
Lianne next spoke, her tone had become even harsher. “I’ll give you one last chance. Are you going to tell me?” Seeing that
Lianne was running out of patience, the servant hugged her thigh and cried bitterly. “Ms. Blake, I was wrong. Please give me
another chance.” “Just you?” Lianne asked. The servant’s eyes flickered, and she immediately exposed the other two servants.
“May and Yoyo did it with me. The three of us split the money equally.” May and Yoyo immediately cried out, “We didn’t!” Lianne’s
sharp gaze swept over them, and they immediately shut up. “Each of you will compensate me with 100 thousand dollars, then I’ll
let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, we’ll take this to court. When the time comes, not only will you have to return the stolen
money, but you’ll Also have to go to jail,” Lianne said coldly. She estimated that each of them could only afford to pay up to 100
thousand dollars. If she asked for more, they probably wouldn’t be able to afford it. They had been here for 7 months, and each
of them earned 6 thousand dollars a month. Each person’s year-to-date earning was over 40 thousand dollars. According to
Preston, they only made him a bowl of wormwood soup every week, and they drank most of the milk. Lianne spent 60 thousand
dollars a month on supplements such as wormwood, smoked salmon, and milk. They consumed a portion of it themselves and
earned some money by selling the rest to the recycling center. Lianne estimated that they could get 36 thousand dollars per
month selling it. After splitting the money among the three of them, each would get 12 thousand dollars. Hence, each person was
getting 18 thousand dollars per month if they added the salary and the profit from selling the foods and supplements. That would
make each person’s year-to-date earnings 126 thousand dollars. Now, asking them to compensate 100 thousand dollars was
equivalent to sucking them dry. If she asked for more, they wouldn’t be able to afford it. After all, they had to spend a portion of
the money they earned. She had always been generous. If they really did their best to take care of Preston, she would turn a
blind eye to them selling the foods and supplements. They were just things after all. Unfortunately, they were greedy. With a
monthly salary of 6 thousand dollars, not only did they not take care of Preston, but they even fought with him over what to watch
on television. They also always fed themselves first. They had become the masters, while Preston became dispensable. Only
Haley was more dedicated, but it was inevitable that she would be ostracized by the other servants. When the three servants
heard that each of them had to pay Lianne 100 thousand dollars, they felt as if their world was about to collapse. All of them
started crying. Tears streamed down their faces as they began to wail miserably. “Ms. Blake, please be magnanimous and
forgive us this time. We promise that we won’t do it again. I have to provide for my 80-year-old mother and one-year-old child.

We have a lot of expenses. We really don’t have money anymore.” “That’s right. If we had the money, we wouldn’t have stolen
these things to sell!” “Ms. Blake, our year-to-date salary is only about 40 thousand dollars. We have a mortgage and the
children’s tuition to pay every month. There are also other miscellaneous expenses. There’s not much left over to save. Not to
mention 100 thousand dollars, we can’t even fork out 10 thousand dollars!” ‘My husband just had heart surgery last month. Our
family really doesn’t have money anymore. If he finds out that I have to fork out so much money, he’ll die of anger. He’s sick and
can’t work, so now I have an extra mouth to feed. Ms. Blake, I beg you to be kind and forgive us this time. You’re rich. You don’t
know how hard it is for poor people like us.” “I just found out about my thyroid cancer last month. Because I didn’t have money, I
didn’t even choose to undergo surgery. As an alternative, I’m doing conservative treatment by consuming traditional medicine.
The traditional medicine in the pharmacy is too expensive. I asked the doctor for a prescription, then asked the villagers to go to
the mountains to find the medicine for me. I drink heal-all every day.” “Ms. Blake, please give us another chance. I’m begging
you!” “This matter is non-negotiable. Either you You compensate me, or we go to court. should know that I have a list of the
things Hbuy every month. The police can also find out how many things the recycling center has gotten from you,” Lianne said
coldly. A servant wailed, “Ms. Blake, please do us a favor and accumulate good karma for yourself. We’re poor people and really
____can’t afford to pay. You’re forcing us into a corner!” “Are you guys that pitiful?” Lianne asked. The three servants nodded
vigorously. “Ms. Blake, we’re really pitiful. You don’t know how difficult it is to be poor.” “Yes, we’re really suffering. We have to
take care of our family.” “Ms. Blake, we’ve only sold the food once. We’ll gather this amount of money for you. Can you forgive us
this time?” The three servants were still pleading for mercy. Lianne said coldly, “Is Preston not pitiful? Did I spend 6 thousand a
month to hire you to bully him?” “Ms. Blake, it’s a misunderstanding. We didn’t bully him.” “Fighting with him over what to watch
on the TV, selling his supplements, and making him sit in the water in the dead of winter; you call that not bullying him? This is
what I saw when I came over. What about when I’m not around?” Lianne raised her voice slightly, showing her anger. “Ms. Blake,
it’s really a misunderstanding. Mr. Blake sat in the water by himself.” “I don’t have the time to argue with you here. 100 thousand
dollars. Gather the money in three days. I’ll come to collect it in three days. If there’s even one cent less, I’ll sue you. Preston,
let’s go.” Lianne angrily helped Preston up and supported him as they walked out. “Ms. Blake, where are you taking Mr. Blake?”
May asked anxiously. She panicked. If Lianne took Preston away, wouldn’t that mean they were fired? Once fired, they wouldn’t
be able to earn 6 thousand a month, Lianne left with Preston without looking back. More than an hour later, they arrived at Blake
Residence. Lianne helped Preston out of the car. Preston clapped his hands and looked around like a fool. “Lina, I like this place.
The scenery here is good. There are trees, flowers, and a pond. But Lina, there are no sand pits!” “I’ll get someone to make a
sandpit for Come, let’s go and change first.” Lianne brought Preston to change his clothes. you. Along the way, many servants
saw Preston. Of course, there were Jared’s people among these servants. Lianne and Preston didn’t care. Lianne brought
Preston back to the house. Madam Blake was sitting on the couch in the living room. The servant was praying with her. Lianne
said with reddened eyes, “Grandma, I brought Preston home. Preston was bullied by those servants.”
