Chapter 391: What A Coincidence!
Leigh listens quietly until the servant finishes her words, and then he jokes with Jana, "I haven't
expected that you know the servants' names, as you usually look down on them and often hit and scold
them."
Jana's heart skips a beat again. She hurriedly says, "Leigh, this is the villa you bought for me. I know
the names of the servants here so as to instruct them to do their work better. It's not a strange thing."
"Indeed, there's nothing strange about it." Leigh nods in agreement, while the smile in his eyes turns
even colder.
Jana stands beside him, her heart beating wildly.
She comforts herself with the thought that Leigh seldom visits here, no camera is installed in the villa,
and even the servants are bribed by her. Therefore, it is impossible for him to know those things.
Leigh sits there with his legs slightly crossed. At times, he picks up the teacup to drink some tea.
Most of the servants on duty come to the villa. They stand next to each other while breathing carefully.
As for the servants on leave, the steward is calling to urge them to come back.
About an hour later, the several servants on leave also arrive one after another.
The steward steps forward and says carefully, "Mr. Leigh, all the servants are here."
"Alright." Leigh nods, his eyes sweeping around the servants. "Since you are all here, who have been
taking care of her, including those in charge of her meals, on the third floor these several months?"
Several servants step out, including Bonnie, with their heads lowered.
Leigh asks in a flat voice, "Has she got a bad appetite since two months ago? The ingredients
prepared for her in the kitchen every day, including milk and eggs, are they fresh?"
A servant answers with her voice trembling, "Yes, Miss Jessie's appetite hasn't been good."
"Vegetables and beef are bought every morning, and they are very fresh." Another servant says. He
then shows Leigh the list of dishes bought during the period of time.
Leigh only glances at it and asks, "Then what food does she like and what she doesn't?"
The servants look at each other and lower their heads without saying a word.
"You can't even answer such a simple question?" Leigh sneers and says in a cold tone, "Or is it
because you haven't taken good care of her?"
"It's not like that, Mr. Leigh. Miss Jessie eats little, and we couldn't tell."
"Yes. Miss Jessie only eats a little of every dish."
"Bullshit!" Leigh throws the teacup heavily to the ground.
The teacup instantly shatters, while the servants shake with fear, both their hands and legs trembling.
Leigh says angrily, "Even if she eats little, she will definitely eat a little more when she likes the dishes!
Also, taking charge of her meals requires detailed records of what she eats every day. Why the hell are
you showing me the grocery list then? Is it because I haven't paid you enough money, or do you think
I'm an idiot?"
He closes his eyes to calm his emotions. Then he controls his temper and asks the servants, "Who
was the one that took care of her on the 22nd of last month?"
No servant answers.
Leigh's eyes suddenly darken. He looks at the steward and says, "What? I've paid you a lot of money
to do your job, and you didn't even make a duty roster? Are you simply eating and sleeping every day?"
"Mr. Leigh, there's a duty roster, but..." The steward answers in a cold sweat, "But the servant, who was
on duty last time, accidentally threw it away like garbage, so there's no duty roster of last month."
"I want it, and then you lose it. What a coincidence!" Leigh smiles. All of a sudden, he stands up and
gives the steward a kick.
The kick is such that the steward rolls to the entrance, unable to stand again.
All the servants are frightened, and even Jana did not expect Leigh to be so violent. Her heart is filled
with fear.
She knows if she dares to say anything at this moment, she will definitely end up miserable.
Leigh pulls his legs back and says calmly, "Come out, the servant on duty on the 22nd of last month. If
you still answer me with silence, things will be far more than a kick."
"Mr. Leigh," A frightened servant replies, "Bonnie was on duty last 22nd."
She points at Bonnie, who is beside her.
Leigh walks to the front of Bonnie, lowers his head and asks her, "Were you on duty on the 22nd of last
month?"
"... Yes." Bonnie answers, her legs trembling.
"Why didn't you reply when I asked just now?" Leigh approaches her with intense hostility.
Bonnie's neck gets cold and her teeth tremble a lot as she speaks in fear. "I... I forgot. After all, it's last
month's shift, and I need to do so many things every day."
"I see. So, it's not that you don't want to answer me. It's that you've forgotten." Leigh seems to
understand her.
Just as Bonnie is about to breathe a sigh of relief, the man takes a piece of paper in front of her and
asks, "Did you know that there was a contraceptive pill in the milk she drank that morning?"
Before Bonnie can reply, he asks again, "When you came, I told you to record her ovulation. Then why
did you have such a thing and even put it in the milk she drank?"
Leigh's fierce gaze falls on Bonnie's face. "Now explain it to me."
"I..." Bonnie's throat seems to be blocked.
Being stared at by Leigh like this, she is too scared to utter a single word. Her face turns pale gradually.
Leigh asks gently, "You don't know, do you?"
"Yes, I... I don't know," Bonnie stammers, "I only brought the food up there, and... maybe Miss Jessie
put it by herself..."
Leigh kicks her to the ground and steps on her face with his leather shoes. "She lives on the third floor
and all her meals are delivered by you. Then where could she get the contraceptive pill?"
"Mr. Leigh, I really have no idea."
Leigh tramples on her face and coldly instructs a servant, "Bring me a bone-cutting knife!"
This causes Bonnie to cry out in fear immediately. She dares not lie any longer. "It's Miss Jana! Miss
Jana told me to put the pill in the milk!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jana's face darkens with the confession. She scolds Bonnie, "When did I ask
you to do that?"
Then she looks at Leigh with a pitiful and weak expression. "Leigh, I've lived here obediently and I've
never been to the third floor. Neither do I have any conflict with Miss Jessie. This servant is slandering
me!"
"Yes, I think so," Leigh says, "I've provided you with such a good villa, so many servants and so much NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
money. You are living such a comfortable life and would never do such a thing."
He tramples Bonnie again. "Do you hate me and want to challenge me? You damn servant did all of
this, didn't you?"
The servant cries, "Mr. Leigh, it's not me. It was Miss Jana that ordered me to do that!"
"What an immoral servant! You actually dare to slander your master!" Jana interrupts her and says to
Leigh, "Leigh, you must teach her a good lesson!"
After the servant brings the knife, Leigh squats down to control Bonnie's hands.
The sharp blade is close to her wrist. With a millimeter closer, it will penetrate into her thin skin.
Leigh then asks her, "Which hand did you use to put the pill, left or right?"
"Mr. Leigh, please spare me. Please!" Bonnie cries so hard that her mucus flows down her face. "Miss
Jana gave me the pill. She asked me to add it to the milk Miss Jessie drank!"
