Chapter 51
“Maria, you’re getting old and confused!” Maureen shouted at Maria. “Open your eyes and look at who we are. Which one of us is someone a maid like you can offend?
“I don’t care who you are. I just see you and your group bullying a young woman!” Maria said, swinging the broom at them a few times.
Maureen’s face tumed green with anger. “Be careful, I’ll call Liam and have him fire you!”
“Go ahead. Call him now. If Mr. Robinson knows what you’ve been doing here at their property, he won’t let you off!”
“You!”
Sophia rubbed her forehead, acting like she didn’t want to argue with them. “Forget it. We were only trying to help.”
“Forget it?” Eloise scoffed. “It’s not up to you to decide when this is over.”
She pulled out her phone and dialed a number while saying that “Hello,
o, I’d like to report an incident. Yes, some people are harassing me!”
Seeing her actually calling the police, Sophia and the others were shocked.
“Eloise, are you crazy?” Maureen’s eyes widened as she shouted.
Sophia immediately panicked and turned to Jacob. “Jacob, make her cancel the call. Tell her to call it off!”
Jacob hadn’t expected Eloise to actually call the police. His brows furrowed. “Do you really want to escalate this? Call it off now. Don’t let them send the officers
| worse?”
Eloise’s face was cold. “It Maria hadn’t come, I can’t imagine what would have happened to me! You say I’m exaggerating, but wasn’t it you who made this word
“I wouldn’t let them go too far, Jacob said, sounding a little guilty.
Eloise
pise scoffed at his reply. “Jacob, at this point, you think that’s something to say? And compared to them, you’re the one I find the most disgusting!”
Jacob looked at Floise, and all he saw was disdain in her eyes.
“Eloise, are you serious? We were just introducing you to a new friend. We didn’t do anything!” Maureen was now flustered.
Eloise looked around, saw a camera under the eaves, and then asked Maria, “The surveillance over there can capture this side, right?”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Sullivan. There are cameras everywhere in the residence. They cover every comer, with no blind spots,” Maria replied.
“Can we show the footage to the police later?”
“Of course,” Maria said with a huff. “And I can testify for you as well.”
“You“re a maid of the Robinson family, not Eloise’s! Are you stupid? The Robinson family wouldn’t easily ottend us! Maureen said, taking out her phone. “I’ll call Liam right now and have him fire you!
Marla wasn’t scared at all “Go ahead. If Mr. Robinson finds out, it won’t just be a simple trip to the station.”
Hearing this, Maureen seemed to hesitate, clearly afraid to make the call.
“Eloise, there’s been a misunderstanding. We didn’t mean any realizing she couldn’t scare Eloise, so she quickly apologized.
Eloise crossed her arms and didn’t respond to her.
y harm. If we made you
uncomfortable, we apologize. Let’s just forget about it, okay?” Sophia said,
“If you don’t want to, then fine. We’re not going to foror you.” Maureen’s attitude cooled down. “But if you feel offended, I’m sorry. I’m apologizing to you.”
After saying that, she nudged Maurice.
Maurice just scoffed. He didn’t have the same concerns as they did. “Anyway, I didn’t do anything to you. If you want to call the police, go ahead.”
Sophia and Maureen were both public figures, and the last thing they wanted was to get any dirt on their names. They were panicking and wanted Jacob to persuade Eloise, but he stood there quietly, not saying a word.
“Eloise, sorry. I’m sorry. Can you let us go this time, please?” Sophia lowered her tone completely.
“I’m sorry, too. I’ll never do this again. Please let us go and just forgive us this time,” Maureen quickly begged as well.
Eloise narrowed her eyes. “I’ve been patient long enough. You forced me into doing it this time.”
Soon, the police arrived, learned the details, heard Maria’s testimony, and took the surveillance footage before taking Sophia and the others to the police station. As soon as they left, Eloise immediately called Quincey, asking her how to make the news of Sophia and the others getting taken to the station public.
