Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 100

The pure cotton pyjamas on Belle's body are printed with cartoon animals, making her look soft and cute, and she has just come out of the shower, with a few drops of water on her hair in front of her forehead, glistening like pearls.

Just as she walked out, she saw Yanis helping her clean her room. She moved ably and was so focused that she didn't seem to notice Belle behind her.

Leaning against the doorframe, with her arms wrapped around her chest, Belle gazed silently at the imported and expensive Ostia mattress.

Yanis leaned over the sheet and looked at it before touching it with her hands. She took the new red sheet and opened it up, flicked it out, and the red sheet was like a fiery red cloud in the sky, then slowly landed on the mattress. She crouched down and wrapped the four corners of the sheet in a clockwise direction, with great dexterity.

The large sheet was paved in less than a minute.

And she looked at ease, she was really a master at making the bed.

Belle's eyes were fixed on the red sheets, not blinking.

It took her ten minutes to make her bed that day, and she was tired and sweaty.

Every morning, the maids come to the master's bedroom to do these all-too-common tasks, which are insignificant to them.

Belle lost in thought, her mind repeatedly swept through shots that made her suspicious, the blood red sheets constantly fluttering in her mind as she was slightly bewildered.

Yania finished her bed and then turned to the table, her eyes scanning around, looking for something on the table, not looking like a person who is cleaning up.

Belle's face was instantly gloomy.

"Ahem." She coughed slightly.

"Mrs. Harvey, you are there." Yanis seemed to be intimidated, turning her head before she saw Belle who was standing behind her, a flash of panic in her eyes.

Belle's eyes held a smile, while a morose chill slowly poured out from the smile.

"What? I'm not supposed to stay in my room?" Her tone was gentle and she took a step closer, but her words carried an overwhelming force.

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Yanis’s face turned ashen, she panicked and denied with a smile on her face, "This is your room, of course you should stay here. I was so preoccupied with cleaning the room just now that I didn't know you were in the room. I'm so sorry."

She soon justified herself.

"You cleaned my room, I should thank you." Belle smiled lightly, slowly sat down on the sofa in the room, crossed her legs, took the grape placed on the coffee table and put it into her mouth, gently biting it. The purple liquid stained her mouth, then she gave a smile, revealing her teeth stained with purple juice, like a snake beauty.

"Come here." Her face slowly clouded over and her gaze grew sharp as she beckoned towards Yanis, who was giggling at her.

Yanis trembled but obediently approached and asked in a whisper, "Mrs. Harvey."

"Are you afraid of me?" Belle asked as she ate another grape. She was really not considered a mean person within this Fragrance Garden, even the servants were more bullying than her, so it was unbelievable to her that Yanis showing fear in front of her.

"No, Mrs. Harvey, you are a modest person, we like you." Yanis said with a smile.

"Really? That's good." Belle suddenly smiled. It was good enough that they didn't gang up to bully her, how could she expect the servants would like her? But she still said with a smile, "I was afraid that you wouldn't like me and say bad things about me."

"No, no," said Yanis, getting even more uncomfortable.

The staff working in Harvey Mansion are servants, but they are actually paid more than the average company employee outside, not only will they have all the necessary insurance and protection, but they will also have some generous rewards.

So the maids who manage to stay the Harvey Mansions are shrew if they don't have special connections.

"Yanis, you are a distant relative of Madam's, right?" Belle asked lightly, seemingly unconcerned.

"Yes." When Yanis heard that, she became complacent for a moment. In this Fragrance Garden, Madam Paige had the highest status, no one but her could humiliate her, even Lexie had to flatter her, therefore, she looked calmer, even her back was straightened. Paige didn't like this Mrs. Harvey in front of her, so Yanis didn't have to be afraid of Belle at all.

She had even heard that Mrs. Harvey and Young Master had actually divorced a long time ago, but it was just Sophia who asked her to move it, and when Sophia died, Belle was nothing.

Belle's eyes flashed with a brilliant light and she said affectionately, "Since you are a relative of Madam, you are also a relative of mine now, so I should call you Sister Yanis."

A hint of contempt appeared in Yanis' eyes, but she said, "No, no, Mrs. Harvey, don't be polite."

"Yanis, since you are a relative of Madam, you should think for her and know how to protect the interests and reputation of Fragrance Garden, don't you think so?" Belle's voice suddenly went cold.

Yanis shivered at that and only at this moment, she found that Belle had changed. The light in her eyes was no longer modest, and she was so sophisticated that she could not be bullied.

She looked at Belle, dumbfounded, not knowing what to say in reply.

"Yanis, what were you just inspecting on top of my bed sheets? What were you touching? And what were you looking for on my desk?" Belle suddenly stood up and asked in a stern voice, "Don't you know how to be a good servant? As far as I know, the maids are trained at regular intervals, do I have to teach you?"

She was all awe-inspiring and her face was cold as she forced Yanis into a corner.

"No, Mrs. Harvey, I was just cleaning up, I wasn't looking for anything." Yanis had a frightened look on her face, but she didn't admit anything.

Belle knew she would never admit it, it had been expected of her.

She took a step back and smiled coldly, "You don't have to argue, it's futile, I can see it all. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but I'm telling you, there are things I've understood for a long time. I know all those things you've done behind my back. You can not take me seriously, and I don't need you to confess anything. I think you should understand that the inheritance of this Fragrance Garden is now one-third of my property rights. Madam is able to keep you and treat you well, but please do not forget that I also have the right to decide now. I think you are now forty years old, if you do not want to work here, do not want to get a substantial retirement annuity, I am willing to agree. If Harvey Mansion doesn't even want you, where else can you stay? With these skills of yours, can you get such a high salary outside?"

Belle's words have woken her up. Yes, if she left Fragrance Garden, how could the people of those houses tolerate her?

Obviously, although Paige has the say, Belle has the inheritance of the house.

Even if Paige didn't like her, this inheritance was a fact, and that didn't change the privileges she had, and if she wanted to kick out a servant, that was entirely possible.

"Mrs. Harvey, I really didn't do anything, I served you with all my heart and soul, please don't accuse me wrongly!" Yanis’ face began to turn white, her body was covered in cold sweat, and her strength to speak was beginning to run low. Her whole family was still counting on her to get this good salary at Harvey Mansion, and if she was kicked out by Belle, it would be like her salary was cut.

"Very well, you can continue to pretend in front of me, but let me tell you, since I can come to ask you today, I must have held some evidence. It's fine if you don't admit it, but you can’t stay in this Harvey Mansion when I expose you." Belle said coldly.

Cold sweat began to appear on Yanis' forehead and her hands shivered as she looked at Belle with fear and anxiety and asked, "Mrs. Harvey, what do you know?"

If she didn't do anything, why would she panic like this? Belle laughed coldly in her heart and asked, "What do you want me to know?"

"I don't know, I really don't know." Yanis shook her head desperately.

"Emily, come over here." Belle picked up the phone on the wall.

Emily came in a short while later and when she saw Yanis, she instantly understood everything. She approached Belle and asked respectfully, "Mrs. Harvey, what can I do for you?"
