Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right

"Because of Miss Sharp. Mr. Sharp only acknowledges her as his daughter. There are rumors that Miss Sharp is the daughter of his late wife, and because he loved his wife so much, he treats Miss Sharp very well," replied one of the maids. "That's not true," the other maid interrupted. "That's what they say to the public. The truth is, Miss Sharp wasn't Mrs. Sharp's daughter. Her mother is a mistress."

Debra mused, "Pardon me for interrupting, but how do you know that?"

"I overheard Mr. Lowe arguing with Miss Sharp once. He called her a lowborn mistress' child. If it weren't for him, Miss Sharp would still be an illegitimate daughter. It's no secret in the upper circles. Everyone knows about Mr. Sharp's affairs. Outwardly, he's a philanthropist, but behind the scenes, he's a hypocrite."

Suddenly, Lara's voice cut through the air. "What nonsense are you all telling Ms. Frazier?"

The maids immediately lowered their heads in fear.

It was clear that Lara held a higher position among the staff, as all the maids seemed to follow her orders.

"Ms. Frazier, the doctor just received notice from Mr. Lowe. He's still on the way. But I assume you don't need the doctor anymore, do you?" Lara remarked, now fully aware that Debra had used an excuse to send her away.

Debra chuckled, "Lara, why did you lie earlier?"

Lara fidgeted and instructed the maids, "Go clean up."

They retreated, and Lara helped Debra back to her seat.

Debra asked, "Lara, how long have you been working with Drake?"

"Three years," Lara replied, keeping her eyes down.

"Then you must know what he is involved in."

Lara responded quietly, "He is my boss, and it's not my place to question his affairs."

"Since he keeps you by his side, it means you're capable. On that cruise ship, I almost believed you were just an innocent maid. But now I see you were sent to watch me, right?"

Lara's silence confirmed Debra's suspicions. You didn't hand over Peter's phone to him, so I owe you a favor. But if he finds out you've. hidden something from him, all the trust you've worked to build with him will be gone."

"You won't expose me because you'll be in trouble, too," Lara asserted.

Drake despised betrayal, and anyone who crossed him would meet a harsh fate, just like Peter. Debra wasn't foolish enough to reveal this, and it also showed how cunning Lara was.

turning to leave.

Debra asked after her, "Conrad is your father, isn't he?"
