Chloe Brown looked at me like I was nothing but filth.

“If you want to stay alive, you’d better learn your place.”

Her eyes brimmed with threats.

Martha Brown frowned. “Chloe, maybe we should drag this slut out first.”

“You need to show your face more. These people are all important. If one of them notices you, it could be your big chance…”

“But I heard they came to see a patient…”

“Who else? Your godfather and your godbrother haven’t been in good health. Of course, they came to visit them.”

“That makes sense.”

Chloe glared at me with pure disgust.

“I bet you sneaked in here on purpose today—not only to seduce my godfather and my brother, but also to cast your net wide, right?”

“Sluts like you, I’ve seen plenty. Do you know how many maids I’ve had to deal with before?”

She sneered and dragged me toward the backyard.

So that was it! I had asked Dad and Ethan to hire more maids, but they always said only Martha and Chloe remained—others quit mysteriously after a short time.

Now I understood. These two had been running rampant in our house all along!

I struggled and lunged at Chloe.

She looked down at her blood-stained dress and shrieked in horror.
