She smiled and walked up to them. Without waiting for her to speak, the watchman recognized her and said, “Isn’t this Kelsey? Where have you been these few days? I thought you quit.”
“Of course I’m still working,”
Kelsey said with a smile, and effortlessly entered the Davis family.
A few of the maids from the group she had interviewed with were still working there, doing odd jobs. Seeing that Kelsey didn’t raise any suspicions, she easily blended in.
The owner was away, and everyone had to eat, so as soon as she entered, Kelsey was assigned the task of lighting the fire under the stove.
Kelsey is a delicate little princess at home, let alone start a fire, she has never even held a piece of firewood.
She sat on a bench and stiffly took a pile of firewood and put it in the stove, piling it up so high that the fire went out immediately. A maid next to her immediately slapped her on the arm and said, “Don’t you know how to start a fire? You’re messing it up.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Kelsey apologized quickly, and then asked, “When… when will the master be back?”
“Why would you tell us when the master will be back? Hurry up and get back to work.”
The maid said as she gave her another slap. Kelsey winced in pain and stared at the fire in the hearth.
She’ll wait a little longer, she should be able to wait.
…
Paige was so exhausted after rescuing several death row inmates in the afternoon that she could barely feel her feet when she returned to the Folsom family.
She rubbed her shoulders as she stepped through the gate, stumbled, and fell forward, but was caught by a hand reaching out to her.
Paige stood up and looked over to see Kevin sitting in a wheelchair, with the butler behind him holding an umbrella over him. Apparently, they had just returned, probably to discuss with the The Gustin family’s villa in this replica city how to deal with JT.
“Those are death row inmates,” Kevin said to her in a low voice.
The butler stood behind her with an umbrella, and couldn’t help but mutter, “If it weren’t for our master helping you, with you robbing the courthouse repeatedly, you would have already been in the police station waiting to be beheaded.”
Paige was too tired to want to talk, and after standing in the doorway for a while, she said, “You will know in the future that they are all innocent people too.”
“Indeed, they are all following orders and only JT is really in charge,” Kevin said, “Paige, no matter how tired you are, he will never appreciate you.”
“I am tired, sorry, I’m going to go take a nap.”
Paige could fall asleep standing up now. She took a few steps and walked inside, where she saw Rafael and a few of the Folsom family members hurrying out the door, Rafael’s movements a little sluggish.
When they saw Paige, one of the Folsom family members hurried up to her, ‘Paige, Kelsey took Gabriel out and hasn’t returned yet.’
“They’re both missing?” Paige was shocked.
“Yes, we saw Gabriel skipping along behind Kelsey as they left, and if Mr. Rafael hadn’t reminded us, we wouldn’t have realized that they’d been gone for a long time.”
The Folsom family members frowned.
“I’ll go with you.”
Paige anxiously turned to go, but the Folsom family members hurriedly stopped her. “No, you’ve only just returned, so go back and rest. You’ll have plenty to worry about next, so let us handle this trivial matter of finding someone.”
“Yes, Kelsey is young, but she knows what’s appropriate. She was probably just playing with Gabriel nearby and lost track of time.” The Folsom family members all felt sorry for Paige, ‘You go get some sleep first, we’ll call you if we can’t find her.’
Paige thought about it for a moment. Kelsey’s courage could be surprisingly big sometimes, but no matter what, she would never let Gabriel run around, so she nodded.
She was really too tired to walk anymore.
She turned to Kevin beside her and asked, “Have you seen Kelsey on your way back?”
Not only had she seen her, but Landon had also sent word back that Kelsey had joined the Davis family and that he had asked Landon to remain where he was.
It was just that Landon had not mentioned the boy Gabriel, so she did not know why the Folsom family thought that he had been taken by Kelsey.
Kevin was sitting in a wheelchair, with fine snow fluttering around his knees.
His gaze was fixed steadily on Paige, who was standing in the snow, the snowflakes brushing against her long hair. She looked pale and emaciated, as if she might be blown away at any moment.
He pursed his lips and shook his head. “No, Butler, you take someone to find Gabriel.”
“Yes,”
the Butler replied.
Hearing this, Paige also stopped talking. She looked at Rafael and said, “I’m going to take a nap. No matter if they find anyone, just let me know.”
“Okay,” Rafael nodded, and followed the Folsom family out to look for her.
…
Fine, fluffy snow continued to fall intermittently in the city.
Nick was lying on the wall, about to turn into a snowman. Every time he moved, he would shiver. His subordinate saw this and hurriedly said, ‘Landon, we just need to wait here, you can go back.’
“No, I won’t feel at ease until I see the maid come out.”
Nick brushed the snow off his body and looked at the Davis family in the distance. It was strange. He didn’t know why his third brother wouldn’t let him just rush in and bring the maid out.
What was this maid doing in there anyway?
Just then, two black cars drove slowly down the road, with light snow stuck to their bodies.
They left a trail of ruts behind them.
The car stopped in front of the Davis family. The driver and the people got out first, and they all held up their black umbrellas, forming a continuous line like a black flower blooming in the snow.
The door at the back was pushed open, and a shiny military boot stepped on the snow. A tall figure stood under the umbrella, making the driver holding the umbrella feel the pressure and hold it up on tiptoe.
Nick strained his neck to look, and the man’s military green overcoat was lightly swept by the wind, while the black umbrella kept his face covered.
Suddenly, the man lowered his head to light a cigarette, and the reddish light from the cigarette flickered in the falling snow.
Nick finally saw the man’s face, and he was so shocked that he almost fell off the wall.
His face turned pale as he went to push the man next to him and whispered, “Hurry, go back and tell my brother that JT is here at the Davis family, hurry and find someone to come with a gun and surround the house.”
JT’s whereabouts have always been the most mysterious in the city, and there is no trace of him at all. This is a good time to take him down.
“Understood,” the man next to him slid down the wall and ran away.
Nick continued to stare, nervous, what is Kelsey, this girl who doesn’t know when she’s dead, doing in there?
…
When Kelsey received the news that Enrico was here, she was being yelled at by a maid, telling her to chop the onions, and she was crying tears of blood.
Suddenly, there was a flurry of activity in the kitchen.
“Hurry, hurry, the master is back, get the dishes ready.”
“Where are the onions, the onions I just chopped?”
Kelsey didn’t have time to think about how lucky she was to have just arrived and bumped into Enrico running this place. She hurriedly picked up the onions and brought them over, “The onions are here.”
“Don’t just stand there, hurry up and start the fire!”
Kelsey was pushed to start the fire.
For most of the day, she had been scolded for being very good at starting fires. As she threw the firewood into the stove, she took out a package of medicine wrapped in kraft paper from her pocket.
My sister made her husband fall asleep by giving him this last time.
Enrico strode into the Davis family, and at a glance he saw the throne at the bottom of the stained glass window. His steps stopped.
