<b>Chapter </b><b>604 </b>
Erin paused for a moment, instinctively asking, “It was you who sent me that message?!”
N was done with the conversation.
She stood up and said, “Since you’re already Damon’s ncee, you should make the most of it. Sometimes, it’s more effective to go to him directly than toe here and make threats at me.”
With that, she left the living room and headed upstairs.
Erin’s anger lingered while watching her leave, but a hint of contemtion crossed her eyes. Momentster, she grabbed her bag and hurried out of the vi.
Lydia, who had been waiting in the kitchen, finally breathed a sigh of relief when Erin left. She had been worried about what would happen if the two women started fighting and had nned to inform Damon if
necessary.
It seemed that wouldn’t be needed now.
Just as Erin was about to get into her car, she was suddenly stopped by someone.
“Ms. Hulle, I’m a maid here. My name is Maddie Lamb,” the young woman introduced herself.
Erin frowned and asked coldly, “What do you want?”
She was impatient and in a hurry to find Damon, not wanting to waste time on someone irrelevant.
Maddie stepped closer and whispered, “Ms. Hulle, you’re Mr. Sumner’s fiancee, and only you deserve him<i>, </i>I can’t just watch as some schemer tries to take him away from you!
“Don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on N, and if anything happens, I’ll contact you immediately!”
Erin raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Oh? Really?”
If this maid could help monitor N, that would be quite beneficial.
“Of course! I want to see you as thedy of this vi!” Maddie gushed.
Erin smiled as she took a card from her bag and slipped it into Maddie’s hand. “Maddie, this card has 30,000 dors on it. If you can provide me with useful information, you’ll get a lot more than this.”
Maddie’s eyes widened in shock. Thirty thousand dors?!
“Ms. Hulle, I can’t ept this money…” she said.
“Take it. You deserve it. I have to go now, but I’ll be waiting for good news from you,” Erin told her.
Maddie clutched the bank card, her expression serious as she nodded. “Okay!”
Only after Erin’s car disappeared from view did Maddie happily turn back toward the vi.
What she didn’t see was that someone on the second floor <i>had </i>witnessed her conversation with Erin in its entirety.
N returned to the couch, picking up the book she hadn’t finished reading earlier.
Her phone buzzed beside her–a text from Caroline.
une: [N, are you sure you want to do this? Once you start, there’s no turning back.]
After reading the message, N deleted it without replying.
From the moment Damon had used Mason to threaten her, she had known there was <i>no </i>turning back. Mason was her bottom line. Anyone who tried to take him from her would have to pay the price.
Later that evening, when Damon returned home, his expression was dark.
The pressure in the living room dropped instantly. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
Lydia and Maddie quickly fell silent and retreated to <b>the </b>kitchen. After five years of working in the vi, they understood Damon’s temperament well. When he was angry<b>, </b><b>it </b>was best to avoid being in front of him. He just needed some time alone to calm down.
N nced up from her meal and raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Sumner, what happened? You look so upset.”
Damon looked at her, his eyes icy. “It’s none of your business.”
N smiled. “Of course, it’s none of my business. I don’t care, but you scared Buddy.”
Damon froze, instinctively looking at Mason, only to find the boy’s gaze filled with a hint of fear. This realization deepened his frustration.
