Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 82

Mary’s face was thunderous with anger.

Alice was her daughter—how could she bear to let anything happen to her?

“Alice didn’t really take anything. Just have her apologize to Madam and let’s be done with it,” she said, her voice sharp as she turned her lined face to her daughter. “Alice, apologize to Madam. Now.”

Alice looked humiliated, her lips barely moving. “...I’m sorry.”

Anastasia nearly rolled her eyes. Who was Alice trying to fool with that half-hearted apology? She didn’t want to say it, and honestly, Anastasia didn’t want to hear it.

Did they really think a simple “sorry” could sweep this under the rug? How convenient for them.

“If I remember right, Mary, you once said anyone caught in serious wrongdoing would be thrown out, didn’t you?” Anastasia’s voice was cold as steel. “Alice opened my drawer. Isn’t that serious enough? Not to mention, just the price of my phone alone is enough to call the police.”

At this, both Mary and Alice’s faces blanched.

Mary’s tone turned threatening. “Madam, sometimes it’s best to show mercy. Don’t make me take this matter to Lady Margaret.”

Anastasia almost laughed. She hadn’t done anything wrong—what did she have to fear? What made Mary so certain Lady Margaret would side with Alice in a situation like this?

She picked up her phone. “Go ahead. Or shall I call Grandma myself?”

Mary faltered, lost for words.

Anastasia’s expression hardened. She set her phone down on the table with a decisive thud. “Mary, you set those rules. Don’t forget them now.”

She turned to Alice, her voice firm. “Go pack your things. I don’t want to see you at dinner tonight.”

Then she looked at the two maids standing nearby. “That goes for you two as well. Mary, make sure they get their wages settled.”
