Late at night, at the Tideview Manor, Bethany had just taken a shower. She changed the bandages on


    her face from her stic surgery and was ready to enjoy some wine.


    “Linny? Linny!” Bethany shouted twice, and the maid, Linny, ran in.


    “I’m here, Ms. Bethany.”


    Ever since Be arranged for her to be a spy, Linny has been trying her best to get close to Shannon


    and Bethany to gain their trust. She knew that Shannon was suspicious by nature and would not trust


    anyone.


    On the other hand, Bethany was much less suspiciouspared to her mother, and she was easier to


    approach. Thus, Linny decided to pour all her efforts into Bethany, and being at her beck and call gave


    her the opportunity to serve Bethany. Otherwise, as a lowly servant like her, who had previously served


    Carrie, Bethany would have kicked her out of the Tideview Manor. How would she be able toplete


    the task Be gave her?


    “Go to the wine cer and get me a good bottle of wine,” Bethany saidzily while she put a mask on


    her face. “If you mess up and choose a cheap wine, I will deduct your sry for the month.”


    “Yes, Ms. Bethany,” Linny responded obediently, and she immediately went to get the red wine for


    Bethany


    Throughout this period, Bethany had always been making Linny’s life difficult with petty demands,


    causing her much distress. Linny was


    well aware that Bethany was using her as a punching bag because she used to be Carrie’s maid.


    Nevertheless, it didn’t matter. Linny had a n in mind and could endure all the bullying. She believed


    in karma, trusting that one day, Be would take revenge for her and deal with this vicious mother-


    daughter duo.


    Bethany suddenly realized that she had left her phone in the entertainment room on the third floor. She


    was so annoyed that she stomped her foot and wanted to order Linny to get it for her.

    Unable to wait any longer, Bethany decided to go get it herself. She put on a mask and walked out of


    the room. After walking for a while, she suddenly saw a ck shadow sh by.


    “Ah!” Bethany screamed out loud, scared. The mask on her face almost fell to the ground.


    Just a few steps ahead, a woman with a pale face and messy hair


    suddenly appeared in the dimly lit corridor, resembling a ghost.


    Bethany looked closely and sighed in relief. She couldn’t help but fe


    surprised.


    “Mom…? Is that you?” Bethany looked at Shannon, who always looked elegant and poised. She was


    shocked to see her in such a haggard state. She hadn’t seen Shannon since thest party, but it


    wasn’t too long ago.


    ‘What happened to her?’ Bethany thought.


    Shannon immediately ran toward Bethany, grabbed her arm, and ran


    back to the room.


    Bethany asked nervously. “Mom, what’s the matter? Did something


    happen?”


    Shannon remained seated on the sofa, trembling despite being in a warm room. She was wrapped in a


    thick coat and refused to take it


    off.


    “Bethany, I said something I shouldn’t have tonight.”


    Bethany was filled with confusion. Something wrong? What did you say?”
