“This situation with the maid is unacceptable,” Vanessa whispered.
“He’s too attached,” Laura agreed.
“It’s inappropriate,” Katherine said.
“He needs to learn hierarchy,” Melissa added.
“And she needs a lesson,” Vanessa concluded.
Michael, meanwhile, couldn’t ignore the change in his son. Noah laughed again, ate again, lived again.

“She’s patient,” he said. “She never yells.”
“Did you like the ladies?” Michael asked.
“They’re nice… but Emily’s better.”
“Why?”
“She’s real.”
“Are you firing her?” Noah asked anxiously.
“No,” Michael promised. “She’s staying.”
The harassment began days later—intentional messes, hidden supplies, blame shifted onto Emily. Michael installed hidden cameras.
What he saw infuriated him.
When Noah defended her, Vanessa threatened him.
“If you keep choosing her, you’ll have to decide.”
“I already did,” Noah replied. “I choose Emily.”
Michael uncovered forged accusations and fake investigations ordered by Vanessa.
At the final party, believing they’d won, the women bragged—unaware they were being recorded.
Michael played everything publicly.
The truth shattered them.
