Chapter 751
"Because of Ms. Leticia! Mr. Gibbs only acknowledges Ms. Leticia as his daughter. Rumor has it that Mr. Gibbs's out-of-fashion daughter was born to Mollie. Mr. Gibbs loves his wife dearly, so he's very good to Ms. Leticia,"
"No, you're mistaken," interrupted a nearby maid. "That's what the Gibbs family tells everyone, but in reality, Ms. Leticia isn't Mollie's daughter at all. She was actually born to one of Mr. Gibbs's mistresses." Hearing this, Sophie frowned slightly and asked, "Excuse me for interrupting, but how do you know Leticia isn't Mollie's daughter?"
"I overheard it once when Mr. Odio and Ms. Leticia were arguing. Mr. Odie said... Ms. Leticia was nothing but the lowly-born daughter of a mistress, and if it wasn't for him, Ms. Leticia would still be a shameful secret," the maid continued. "This isn't exactly a secret in high society. Who doesn't know about Mr. Gibbs's affairs? Publicly, Mr. Gibbs is a kindly philanthropist, but privately, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
No sooner had the maid finished speaking than Polly's voice came from behind, "What are you gossiping about with Ms. Sophie?"
Seeing Polly return, the maids all lowered their heads, too afraid to speak.
It was clear that Polly was the Minton family's housekeeper, with the maids essentially at her command.
"Ms. Sophie, the doctor has just been notified by Mr. Odie and hasn't arrived yet, but I assume you won't be needing a doctor for the time being, right?"
Polly already realized that Sophie had been merely making up an excuse to get rid of her, so Sophie no longer hid her intentions. She smiled and said, "Polly, why did you lie just now?"
Faced with Sophie's question, Polly looked somewhat uncomfortable. She told the other maids, "Go clean up."
"Yes."
As the maids slowly withdrew, Polly helped Sophie into the room.
Sophie asked, "Polly, how long have you been with Odie?"
"Three years."
"Then you must also know what Odie is up to, right?"
Polly lowered her head, saying, "He is my superior. It's not my place to question what he does."
"The fact that Odie keeps you close shows you have some skills. Based on your performance on the cruise,
I really thought you were a naive and harmless little maid. Now it seems you must have been tasked by Odie to keep an eye on me, right?"
Polly's silence was an admission. Sophie continued, "You didn't give Gattlin's phone to Odie, so I should thank you. But if Odie finds out you've been keeping things from him, you might lose all the trust you've worked so hard to earn."
"You wouldn't do that. If you expose me, you'll be in trouble too, Polly said with a slight smile, confident in her assertion.
Odie hates traitors the most. Once discovered, the outcome would be the same as Gattlin's.
Of course, Sophie wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal this..
This showed that Polly was far from
simple. The contentison. Com En .com!
"Ms. Sophie, I have other matters to attend to. Please rest well, and call e
me if you need anything.
Just as Polly was about to turn and leave, Sophie suddenly gaid, Daniel is your father right?" From NôvelDrama.Org.
