Chapter 974_When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 974 Sending Them All Away

 “What is this?” the nanny wondered aloud, puzzled.

 Their home was well–staffed with servants, and Nathaniel was somewhat of a clean freak. There was never a speck of dust on the floor, so how could there be white powder near the water dispenser?

 The nanny took a cloth, meticulously wiped away the powder, and then casually tossed it into the trash bin.

 Meanwhile, Jessica had already passed the water to Nathaniel.

 “Nathaniel, this is warm water.”

 Nathaniel took the ss without a second thought and drank a few sips.

 As Jessica watched him drink the water, her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

 Once Nathaniel had almost finished his drink, she promptly took his ss. “I’ll go rinse this out. If you want more water, just let me know, and I’ll pour more for you.”

 Jessica knew that the ss held evidence. She swiftly moved toward the sink to rinse the ss thoroughly, ensuring there were no residues left inside.

 The nanny had been discreetly observing her, finding her particrly odd that day, especially as Jessica washed the same ss over and over again.

 In the past, when Jessica had to wash anything, she wouldn’t spend much time on it before asking the nanny to finish the job. She certainly never paid such close attention to washing a ss.

 When Jessica turned around, she was startled to see the nanny again. “What are you doing here?”

 “I just happened to be passing by. Why are you making a big deal out of nothing?” The way Jessica was acting had the nanny feeling as though she had done something unspeakable today.

 Jessica let out a sigh of relief. “If you’re free today, why don’t you go out and have some fun? I’ll hold down the fort here.”

 How was she supposed to make a move on Nathaniel if the nanny kept sticking around?

 “I’d rather not. I don’t feel like going out.”

 Earlier, Cecilia had told the nanny that she had to remain within the vi until Cecilia herself returned.

 As a woman herself, the nanny understood. Even though Nathaniel was fierce and visually impaired, his wealth was undeniable. She knew there would be plenty of women who desired to gain something from him.

 She said to Jessica, “Ms. Quill, you may not realize this, but many people covet a wealthy man like Mr. Rainsworth. I promised Mrs. Rainsworth that I would keep a close eye on him to prevent that shameless vixen from worming her way into his life.”

 The nanny never would have imagined that Jessica was the shameless vixen she was referring to.

 Barely suppressing her rage, she said, “With me here, rip one would dare to approach Nathaniel. You may leave now.”

 She was afraid that once the effects of the drug kicked in, the nanny might notice something amiss.

 “But, I promised Mrs. Rainsworth…” The nanny was still reluctant to just leave like that.

 “Don’t push your luck!” Jessica could no longer hold back, raising her voice as she yelled, “You’re just a nanny for the Rainsworth family; do you really think you’re someone important? When I tell you to leave, you leave!”

 Now was her chance to take Nathaniel for herself, and she couldn’t let anyone ruin it.

 The nanny was utterly stunned, unable to believe that the usually amiable Jessica could harbor such contempt for her.

 Nheless, she was but a mere employee, so she had no choice but to step out, albeit reluctantly.

 Once the nanny had left, Jessica instructed the rest of the servants to leave as well before returning to the living room once more.

 At that moment, Nathaniel’s throat felt dry, and heat was coursing through his body.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

 He tugged at his cor in aggravation and instructed, “Turn on the air conditioning and lower the temperature a bit.”

 “Nathaniel, are you feeling warm? Do you want me to help you take off your coat?” Knowing the drug had kicked in, Jessica approached Nathaniel and reached out to help him remove his clothing.

 Nathaniel could sense her approaching him, and his brows instantly furrowed tightly. “Get lost!”

 Jessica jumped in surprise.

 Fighting back her fear, she hugged Nathaniel in one swift motion.

 Meanwhile, after the nanny had left the house, she noticed the other servants emerging as well. Upon inquiring, she found out they had all been sent away by Jessica.

 Immediately, a vague sense of unease welled in her. She thought, She’s not our boss, Mrs. Rainsworth is, so why should we take orders from her?

 With that thought in mind, she called for the other servants to return.

 Everyone had just reached the main entrance, and as they pushed the door open, they were left utterly stunned by the sight before them.
