Chapter 497
The anger on Kylee's face grew.
"What did you just say?" Kylee shouted coldly, "Say it again."
May's heart sank.
However, seeing Kylee's grim face, May knew that she had just said something wrong. May knelt in front of Kylee with a thud.
"Madam Cordova, I was wrong. I didn't mean to say that. Madam Cordova, please forgive me."
"Forgive you?" Kylee said coldly, "You've done something wrong, yet you still blame others. We don't need a servant like you here in this house."
May looked at Audrey with some resentment.
"Madam Cordova, I don't know what happened just now. My calf suddenly ached. That's why I accidentally knocked over the teacup. I didn't do it on purpose," May explained.
Caroline heard the voice, so she came down from upstairs.
"What happened?" Caroline saw Kylee holding Audrey's hand and reprimanding a maid with a grim face. Caroline's face immediately darkened. "What have you done this time?"
Kylee glared at Caroline and said coldly, "Don't blame Elliana for everything. When the maid handed the tea to Bryson, the cup of tea was boiling hot and almost scalded Bryson. It was Elliana who blocked it for Bryson. Otherwise, the cup of water would splash onto Bryson's face."
"What?" Caroline looked at the maid with an angry face. If only Audrey got hurt, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, Bryson was almost scalded. "Go to the butler now and get your salary checked. After
that, leave."
May's eyes widened in shock. "What? Mrs. Cordova, I've been working here for four years. How... how can you drive me away?" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Well, since you've been working here for four years, you should know the rules of the Cordovas. We don't tolerate servants who doubt our decisions like you. If you don't leave yourself, I can have you driven away."
May sat on the ground in disbelief.
May was about to be driven out of the Cordova's.
May was kind of experienced in the Cordova's. She was well paid and she even had a weekend break. She was thus somewhat famous among her peers. Yet if she was kicked out, she would lose her reputation.
All May did was hand Bryson a cup of tea. Why was she fired?
May's gaze fell on Audrey's innocent face. Suddenly, she realized something.
It was Audrey.
It was Audrey who asked May to hand the tea to Bryson. If she had not asked her to pass the tea to Bryson, how could her calf suddenly get hurt? She wouldn't have knocked over the cup then!
The pain in her calf made May feel strange.
Audrey must have heard May talking in the pantry. Thus, she took revenge on purpose.
May was irritated.
May immediately pointed to Audrey's nose and said, "It's her. She framed me on purpose. She asked me to pass the teacup to Mr. Bryson on purpose and hurt my calf, causing the teacup in my hand to fall. She framed me!"
Kylee frowned and looked at May. "What did you say? Did you say Elliana framed you? Why did she want to frame you?"
"Why?" May gritted her teeth and said boldly, "Because she is not the real Miss Cordova. She is..."
May turned her gaze to Bryson.
May wanted to say that Audrey was not Miss Cordova but Bryson's girlfriend. Before May could finish speaking, she ran into Bryson's dark eyes and was terrified. May couldn't help but tremble. Thus, she didn't dare to say the rest.
Kylee shouted angrily, "Not only did you not admit your mistake when you did something wrong, but you also framed your employer. You are extremely guilty!"
May shook her head hard.
"Madam Cordova, it's not like that. It's not like that. I..."
May still wanted to explain, but her heart felt like it was being gripped by a hand of death, making her unable to open her mouth to explain.
"Get her out of the Cordova Mansion. Don't let her appear in front of me again."
Two bodyguards came in from outside and walked toward May.
May shook her head in horror.
"No, Madam Cordova, please don't drive me away. Please don't drive me away, Madam... Mr. Bryson, please..."
May was taken out of the living room by the bodyguards.
When May was taken away, Kylee turned around and looked at the red spot on the back of Audrey's hand with a worried look. "Your skin matters. Go and call Dr. Cater over."
Audrey quickly said, "Grandma, my hand is fine. Don't worry. I'll pour some cold water on it. It will be fine soon."
"No!"
With Kylee's insistence, Dr. Cater was brought over. The doctor looked at Audrey's scalded hand, gave her some ointment, and left.
Because Audrey's hand had been scalded, Kylee had specifically asked Audrey to stay in the room to rest until dinner time.
Audrey felt a bit helpless.
Audrey got her hand hurt, not her leg.
However, Audrey could only take the kindness from Kylee.
When Kylee left, someone knocked on Audrey's door.
Audrey shouted, "The door is not locked. Come in!"
The door was opened and Bryson came in. Although Audrey had blocked the tea for him and the water did not scald his skin, his clothes were also wet. Therefore, Bryson had changed into his pajamas.
After Bryson entered, he locked the door.
Bryson walked to Audrey's bed and sat down. He took her hand that had been scalded and looked at it carefully. His brows furrowed tightly.
Audrey softly comforted, "Don't worry, my hand is fine."
Bryson glared at Audrey. "Don't mess around like next time. Even if you don't like that maid, you can't hurt yourself like this. What if the tea is hotter and your hand is really scalded?"
Audrey blinked her eyes.
Audrey did not expect Bryson to see through her little trick.
"Well, I've done a little math. After her tea was brewed, it cooled down a bit in the pantry before it was brought out. It won't scald me." Audrey smiled and looked at Bryson. "I drove your beautiful maid away, and you don't feel sorry at all? I heard that she likes you very much."
Bryson gazed deeply at Audrey and said thoughtfully, "It's her fault for making you jealous. Why don't I change all the maids into male servants?"
Audrey didn't see this coming.
