Chapter 531 Did You Do That on Purpose?
Madeline replied in a calm and brisk tone, "I have been hired by Mr. Harvey to work here as a servant."
Wilda summoned the butler and instructed him to send Madeline away. She had decided to fire
Madeline in that short amount of time. "Pay her one month's worth of salary and have her leave the
villa."
People would even say that she's benevolent for giving me one month's worth of salary in
compensation when I hadn't even worked here for a full day.
I can't even try to argue with her about her decision to fire me. She would most likely bring up the
excuse that I'd embarrassed them in front of an important guest by accidentally splashing water on the
person's clothes.
Still, I'm not that worried since someone would definitely make sure that I won't get kicked out of the
house.
"My, oh, my! You're already losing your temper when it's still so early in the morning, Wilda?"
A young lady in a flowy dress walked out of the nearby elevator. It was Wilda's cousin, Winova Harvey.
Winova had her cousin, Sean Downey, following behind her as she headed toward the group.
Madeline stood at the side and quietly observed the members of the Harvey family.
I must say that members of the Harvey family are all blessed with good looks. Not only are the ladies
beautiful, but even Sean, Winova's cousin, is a handsome man too.
Noah noticed that Madeline was staring in Sean's direction. Then, he silently moved to stand in
between them to block Sean from her view.
Shane had shown favoritism toward Wilda ever since she was young. The other youngsters in the
family disliked her for that reason.
Regardless of what Wilda did during her younger years to try to get close to the other kids, they would
either treat her with disdain or give her the cold shoulder.
At some point, Wilda found out about the reason why her cousins were treating her so coldly from her
mother. After that, she gave up trying to befriend them. She would just ignore her cousins when they
make mocking remarks at her or come asking for a favor.
In the end, all of her cousins grew to dislike Wilda even more with time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWilda did not bother responding to Winova's question. She cast a glance at the butler and signaled him
to take Madeline away.
I seem to recall that the waitress is quite a pretty lady. I can tell that she has a voluptuous body even
though she's in a uniform now. What if the woman was trying to seduce Mr. Quincy just now?
Modeline replied in o colm ond brisk tone, "I hove been hired by Mr. Horvey to work here os o servont."

A young lody in o flowy dress wolked out of the neorby elevotor. It wos Wildo's cousin, Winovo Horvey.

The butler hurriedly reached out to grab Madeline's arm to make her leave. However, Noah happened
to move at that instant and blocked his movement.
The man dared not ask Noah to move out of his way. Instead, he stepped to the side and called out to
Madeline in a low, stern voice, "You! Come with me!"
"Hold on! We just had Grandpa's birthday party yesterday. Yet, you're going to kick someone out of the
house the next day? You almost pushed the poor lady off the second floor just now! What would
Grandpa think when he learned of this? Do you want to make him fall sick so that you can take over as
the new head of the Harvey family?" Winova said all that without pausing to catch her breath.
Wilda replied bitingly, "She was disrespectful toward Mr. Quincy just now. Was it wrong of me to fire her
on that account?"
"Did you do that on purpose?" Winova asked Madeline. Madeline quickly shook her head.
"Grandpa has always been quite generous and lenient with the servants working in the villa. He rarely
punished the servants unless they made serious, unforgivable mistakes. However, you tried to push the
lady off the railing just because she offended the man you like. Aren't you being too cold-hearted,
Wilda?"
Wilda has kept all of us in the dark about Mr. Quincy attending Grandpa's birthday party. Then, she
stuck by his side the entire time yesterday. None of us had a chance to speak to the man!
I'm not gonna let her off so easily this time.
"What on earth are you going on about?! Mr. Quincy is an important guest. You mustn't make such
baseless remarks that could possibly harm his reputation! Also, I didn't push that woman that hard! I
had no intention of pushing her off the railing or harming her as you claimed." Wilda tried to explain
herself as calmly as she could.
"If I hadn't caught her in time, the lady might have fallen over the railing and landed on the ground floor
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhead first. Are you sure you didn't push her that hard?" Lone Wolf raised a brow and asked.
Wilda appeared a little flustered. She quickly turned her gaze to Noah. "I didn't push her that hard. You
must believe me, Mr. Quincy!"
"You didn't even apologize to the lady for nearly putting her in danger. Yet you expect Mr. Quincy to
believe that you're innocent. Aren't you aware that Mr. Quincy is already married and has three kids?"
Winova had a contemptuous smile on her face.
At long last, I got to experience what it feels like to have Wilda crushed beneath my feet. It feels
amazing!
"I really didn't do that on purpose…" Wilda's eyes were bright with tears at that point. She no longer
assumed the superior and sophisticated attitude she usually would. Instead, she appeared completely
devastated.
The sudden change in Wilda's attitude rendered Winova speechless. At that moment, an idea came to
Madeline's mind as she was enjoying all the drama from the side.
Madeline began, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Quincy. It was all my fault. I genuinely didn't mean to splash water
on your clothes and dirty them. Could you please consider accepting Ms. Wilda's invitation to bring you
to the resort? Otherwise, I might really lose my job… I have to take care of my bedridden grandfather
and three young children at home. I cannot afford to lose this job."
Shane, who had come out of his room and saw the group near the staircase, happened to hear
everything that Madeline was saying. He could feel his anger rising at her mention of a bedridden
grandfather.
"Ha! She was trying to appear all pure and innocent. So, it was all just to coax Mr. Quincy into
accepting her offer." Winova scoffed scornfully.
Wilda was positively scowling at Winova and Madeline at that point. She wanted so badly to tear
Madeline to shreds after hearing the latter make those pleas.
Just then, Noah noticed Madeline looking in his way again. He sighed inwardly and said, "Ms. Wilda, it
was probably just an accident earlier. I hope you won't blame someone for a minor mistake like that."
Those words hinted that Wilda had given an inappropriate punishment to her servant despite it being a
careless mistake. Noah's words instantly put the image of Wilda as a kind and elegant lady in jeopardy.
Wilda was fuming with indignation. However, she held it in and forced a smile. "Of course, Mr. Quincy.
Perhaps I have overreacted a little earlier."
