Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 84

“But Alice shouldn’t stay here anymore. Move her to the guest house,” Lady said, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Alice’s smile froze instantly.

Rosewood Manor was enormous, and next door stood the guest house—but everyone knew that was reserved for the staff.

Until now, Alice had been the exception. Living in the main residence set her above the other servants, earning their attention and flattery. If she was made to move out, what would they think of her?

“Lady, please—!” Alice’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears.

But Lady had already turned to Anastasia, asking gently, “Anastasia, what do you think?”

Her voice was warm and patient.

Anastasia understood that Lady hardly knew her and was only being kind because of Harrison. She didn’t want to put the old woman in a difficult spot, so she smiled and said, “Grandma, I don’t mind at all.”

Whether Alice was thrown out completely or just sent to the guest house, the humiliation was the same. Seeing the color drain from Alice’s face, Anastasia couldn’t help but feel a quiet satisfaction.

Lady seemed equally pleased with her answer. She nodded approvingly. “Alice, did you hear that? Anastasia is gracious enough to let you stay on the estate. You should thank her, then go pack your things.”

Alice nearly choked on her indignation.

She had to thank Anastasia?

Anastasia smiled at her, clearly waiting for Alice to speak.

Alice’s shoulders shook with frustration, but under Lady’s watchful gaze, she could only swallow her pride and mumble, “…Thank you, ma’am, for your generosity.”

Anastasia simply nodded. “Good. Off you go.”

Alice’s mother dragged her back to their room, and as soon as the door closed, Alice broke down, sobbing uncontrollably. “Mom, I don’t want to move to the guest house! That’s where the staff live! How can I stay there?”

The more she thought about it, the more she realized something was off. Anastasia had been far too prepared for all this.

“She did it on purpose, Mom! Anastasia set me up! She knew I’d try to steal something!”

She’d had a copy made of the drawer key in secret. Now, thinking back, it made no sense—Anastasia wouldn’t just leave the key lying around if the contents mattered. She must have known. She’d wanted Alice to walk right into the trap.
