Chapter 31
“Samuel, your clothes are soaking wet. Since Sebastian is here to take care of Kylie, you should go change before you catch a cold,” Alissa advised him.
“It’s alright.” Samuel tumed to her and assured her, “I’m fine, Grandma. Don’t worry: Grandpa will be fine, too.
After saying that, he shifted his gaze to Logan and ordered sharply, “Go and get the surveillance footage from the vill“
“Yes, Mr. Vance”
Logan immediately sprang into action. Even today, Engan didn’t understand why Kylie insisted on marrying Samuel. The Vance family despised her, and Samuel had someone else in his heart. So, what exactly was she alter?
The hall tell into silence, with Sebastian’s motions as he examined Kylie being the only sound. Samuel spenetrating black gaze swept across the assembled maids.
Suddenly, a middle–aged maid fell on her knees and shook as if she would fall at any time.
“Mr. Mr. Vance.” She felt tongue tied, making her words come out in a stammer.
After a moment, she finally continued. “My daughter–in–law just gave birth, so I took a month off. Today was my first day back, I thought Ms. Clark was a new maid, so I asked her to clean the swimming pool. I never expected something like this to happen.”
“You thought?” Samuel’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “You’ve worked in the Vance residence long enough to know better. You should’ve realized you couldn’t afford the outfit she’s wearing, even with a year’s salary!”
Ing to Samuel. “Now that we’ve gotten to the bottom of it, I’ll dismiss this maid to give Ms.
“What a fool!” Liana stepped forward and reprimanded her before turning to Clark a proper explanation.”
“It’s not that simple. Samuel’s voice was low and foreboding.
Her expression darkened in displeasure at his defiance. As she watched the tension rise between the mother and son, Gabriella secretly rejoiced.

Everyone knew that Samuel was filial and outstanding, always overshadowing her son Lians had always been proud of him. Yet now, for the first time, there was a Tilt between them.
“Ms. Clark is fine, and the maid has been fired. What more do you want?” Liana scowled.
For the first time, Samuel was opposing her over a woman. And it was a woman who wasn’t even worth mentioning!
“We need to uncover the truth, Samuel declared.
Upon hearing this, Yvonne wanted to repeat what she had said earlier. She wondered what kind of spell Kylie had cast on him to make him oppose Liana.
Logan soon returned with a grim expression and reported, “Mr. Vance, the surveillance system in the residence was under maintenance, so nothing was recorded.”
What a coincidence! Samuel’s face turned ice–cold. The eerie silence and oppressive atmosphere made everyone too afraid even to breathe..
After Sebastian finished his examination, he stood up and explained as he packed away his reedical instruments. “There are no major issues. She just needs rest and proper nutrition ”
“Since she’s so cunning, I wouldn’t be surprised if she planned this whole thing and fell into the pool on purpose just to stir up trouble,” yvonne whispered,
Gabriella tugged at her, silently warning her to stop while cautiously observing Samuel’s reaction.
However, she refused to back down and continued with disdain, “Why are you pulling me? I’m only speaking the truth.”
“The inith?”
Samuel’s face retained emotionless, but his voice was chillingly cold, making the room teel cold.
“Yes! it’s possible she staged the accident, Samuel. Don’t let this woman fool you.”
You owe everyone the truth,” Samuel stated, staring into her eyes.
Upon heading this, she froze. “Samuel, what do you mean? You’re not suggesting I pushed her into the water, right?”
“I’m not ruling it out
“I…” Yvonne’s rapression shifted.
“Be careful with what you say “Illseyes were as plexing as a luwk’s “Olen your involvement in the last scandal, you are a primary suspect.”
