Grace's face darkened instantly."What did you just say?"

But Kelsey did not reply.

She simply stared at Grace calmly.

If it were left to her, she wouldn't want Grace to continue working in the mansion. But since she would be leaving after thirty days, it shouldn't be her business.

Seeing that Kelsey didn't want to repeat herself, Grace let out a laugh.

A sharp, mocking laugh.

"Just a housekeeper?"Grace's voice rose. "You've got some nerve saying that."

Kelsey remained calm.

Grace took a step cl

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 80: Wanda's True Face

    The moment the police officers stepped into the dining room, the atmosphere changed completely.Collins, Doris, Venus, and Kelsey immediately stood up, realizing that this wasn't as simple as they had thought.Andrew, who was still sitting, adjusted his glasses in confusion."Who are they?""You called the police?" Wanda burst out, standing up so suddenly that her chair scraped loudly against the floor. She had never expected Ramon to involve the police. "What did I do to you?""What?" Andrew stood up as well, his face full of shock. "The police?"Ramon didn't answer either of them.He simply looked at the officers and said calmly,"Take them away."The maid's face instantly turned as white as paper.She trembled violently on the floor."Ramon..." Collins frowned deeply. "You can't do this without telling us what's going on."Ramon remained calm."I already reported what I suspected before coming back to the dining room." His eyes fell on the maid. "I wanted to give you a chance to te

    The moment Ramon finished speaking, the dining room became even quieter.The maid stood beside him, gripping the tray with trembling hands."W-What do you mean?" Wanda stammered as she quietly wiped her sweaty palms against her dress beneath the table.Andrew slowly put down his fork."Is the wine different?" he asked with a puzzled smile. "Why do you want Wanda to drink yours?"He chuckled lightly before adding,"You really like taking care of Wanda if you're willing to let her drink from your glass." He adjusted his eyeglasses immediately. "But you shouldn't. Your wife is here, and she might think otherwise."He laughed as though he had made a harmless joke.No one else laughed.Instead, the atmosphere became even heavier."My wife wouldn't think otherwise because there is nothing between me and your daughter." Ramon answered without the slightest hesitation.His voice was calm, but every word carried weight."I only want her to drink it because there is something in the wine."His

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 78: The Glass of Wine

    Soon, it was time for dinner.The servants quickly arranged the dishes on the long dining table.One after another, everyone took their seats.The atmosphere was strangely quiet.No one spoke much. Only the sound of plates and cutlery could be heard.Kelsey sat beside Kendrick.It was the same chair Wanda used to sit in, helping Kendrick with his meal while Kelsey sat at the far end of the table.Ramon didn't usually have dinner with the family, but tonight, he naturally took the seat beside Kelsey.At the head of the table sat Collins, while Doris sat beside him.Across from them sat Venus, Wanda, and Andrew.The table was filled with expensive dishes.Normally, Wanda would have tried her best to liven up the atmosphere.But tonight, she couldn't.Her eyes kept moving between Ramon and Kelsey.The two of them weren't talking.Yet somehow, their silence irritated her even more.Kelsey picked up some vegetables and placed them on Kendrick's plate."Eat slowly."Kendrick nodded obedient

    "Nothing?"Venus's quick answer made Ramon's brows furrow even deeper.He looked at her tightly clenched hands at her sides before turning to his mother."We did nothing to her," Doris said, clearly displeased by her son's suspicion of them.Ramon remained quiet for a few seconds."I really hope it's nothing." His voice dropped slightly. "Remember what I told you, Mum."After saying that, he turned around and walked away toward where Kelsey had gone.Silence filled the room.Wanda, who had been quiet the entire time, suddenly stood up.She hurried toward Venus."What did she say to you?" She asked through clenched teeth.Kelsey's presence had shaken her badly. She had thought Kelsey was gone for good.But here she was again.And even worse, she might ruin the plan she had carefully prepared.Her father and she had planned everything for today. Knowing Ramon would be at the family mansion, they had arranged everything in advance.But now Kelsey was here.Wanda shook her head.She didn'

    "At least I'm not a mistress to a married man."The words entered Venus's ears like a bolt of lightning.Her entire body froze.The anger on her face disappeared instantly. Her pupils contracted.For a long moment, she simply stared at Kelsey.Unable to move, speak or even breathe.The living room fell strangely silent.Doris and Wanda frowned in confusion.Neither of them had heard what Kelsey said. All they saw was Venus suddenly freeze in place.Kelsey watched her calmly. A faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips.So she was right.Venus had never expected her secret to be discovered."What's wrong?" Kelsey asked softly. Only Venus could hear her. "Surprised?"Venus's lips parted slightly, but no words came out. Her face had already gone pale.Kelsey took another step closer.The smile on her face widened."Who would have thought?" she whispered. "The almighty Venus Holloway."Kelsey's eyes slowly traveled over her."The woman who always looked down on me and called me shamel

  • Wife on Strike    Chapter 75: The Storm Begins

    As they walked toward the entrance, Kelsey could hear faint voices coming from inside.She took a deep breath and smiled at Kendrick, who was tugging on her hand excitedly.The moment they entered the living room, the voices stopped instantly.All eyes turned toward her.Kelsey's gaze moved across their faces.She saw the different expressions flashing in their eyes.Wanda's eyes widened in shock.Venus looked disgusted.Collins shifted uncomfortably in his seat, probably still embarrassed by what Kelsey had said to him about her father the last time.As for Doris, her expression was complicated."Grandma!" Kendrick's voice broke the tense atmosphere. He slipped his hand from Kelsey's and ran toward Doris. "Daddy told me you were sick, but you're well now.""My little Ken."Doris immediately opened her arms for him."Be careful. Mum isn't that strong yet." Wanda's worried voice rang out, but she didn't dare touch Kendrick.Kelsey rolled her eyes inwardly.She couldn't stand Wanda's fak

Some stopped completely. They already knew something serious was about to happen, because they knew

    Everyone froze.Wanda stumbled backward.A red handprint instantly appeared on her cheek.Kelsey slowly lowered her hand. Her entire body was shaking. Not from fear, but from anger."You should be ashamed of yourself."Wanda covered her face."Kelsey...""Shut up!"The words exploded from Kelsey's
