Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 723

"No, Roger Hunt put us here so that we can snoop around for news, but who would have thought that Mr. Hunt's supervision would be so strict? We have been here for three years, but we haven't found any useful news at all, sigh! If we are fired, he may not necessarily protect us."

"Don't worry needlessly. It'll only embarrass him if he doesn't protect us. Even if it's just to prevent himself from being embarrassed, he will still protect us. Besides, everything we said was favorable towards Pete. I don't think he will spread any nonsense!"

The two, who did not notice the people walking towards them from behind, continued speculating in low voices.

"Furthermore, Mr. Hunt can barely protect himself now. Now that his father has returned to fight for the company's ownership with him, he can't be bothered to deal with us. It's the safest for us right now!"

"You're right, heh heh. I wonder who will win, Mr. Hunt or his father? At the bottom of it all, it's all just because of Mrs. Hunt."

"Have you seen Mrs. Hunt? She doesn't look like a fifty-year-old at all. You can easily say that she's thirty; and even if you say she's twenty, there will probably still be people who would believe it! How can someone be so beautiful?!"

"Women are trouble. It's precisely because she is so pretty that things went wrong! On top of that, she doesn't even look old at all. What else is she, if not a vixen?"

"Shut up!"

Nora was originally planning to listen and see what else the two of them would talk about, but in the end, they changed the subject and started talking about Iris instead.

This was intolerable.

Her fierce bark gave the two men a shock. They turned back in unison to see Nora come up to them while holding Pete's hand.

Nora's pretty face was tense, and there was faint anger and a pressurizing aura in her eyes. Added to this her tall and slender figure, which allowed her to stand at about the same height as the two men, her aura became increasingly strong.

They were so scared that they hurriedly lowered their heads. "Ms. Smith," they said.

Nora narrowed her eyes and stared at them. "Badmouthing your employers behind their backs... Is that what your contracts asked of you?"

The Hunts' servants were mostly old-timers whom the Hunts were already accustomed to having around. Some of the old-timers' family members would also work there. Although there was no such thing as indentured servitude these days, their employers would never abuse them. In fact, they treated them very well, so most of the servants in the family were very loyal.

There were some old-timers who received even better treatment, such as Fanny, who served the elderly Mrs. Hunt. She had served Mrs. Hunt her whole life, so the two were as close as sisters.

However, the servants also knew that they should protect themselves, so all of them were hired on a contractual employment system.

When the two servants were hired to clean the garden in the backyard three years ago, they had also signed employment contracts. Thus, their job scope and job requirements would definitely be stated in detail in the contracts.

The two servants looked at each other in fright. One of them said boldly, "Ms. Smith, you must have misheard. We didn't badmouth our employers."

The other man also recovered from his shock and stammered, "Y-yes, he's right. We didn't talk about our employers behind their backs. We were talking about another family, you must have misheard!"

Nora:"?"

They were really just so... Were they pretending that nothing had happened when they had already been caught red-handed?

She lowered her eyes. She couldn't be bothered to say anything else to the two, so she immediately said, "You should know very well whether or not you've talked about your employers behind their backs just now. As for Pete and I, we were standing right here. Heh, are you going to take the initiative to resign? Or do you want me to get someone to fire you?"

Nora was very aggressive. "If it's the latter, then I'm afraid the two of you will end up being blacklisted. You don't need me to explain the consequences of that, right?"

Should they be blacklisted, no one would employ them when they went job-hunting in the future.

Besides...

Pete raised his head. In his big eyes, which looked just like Cherry's, was not the latter's cheeky cuteness but instead a scheming look. In his young and tender voice, he said, "Mommy, why are you letting them off? If we tell Daddy, the two of them will be in for it!"

What Nora said had already intimidated the two servants just now, so when they heard what Pete said, the two immediately fell onto the ground in fright.

One of them said, "Sir Pete, we realize our mistake now, sob!"

Nora stroked Pete's hair. "Forget it, everyone makes mistakes. Let's forgive them wherever possible!"

Upon hearing what she said, the two servants looked at each other, both swallowing hard. One of them said, "T-thank you, Ms. Smith. W-we will leave by ourselves..."

Nora nodded and pointed at the door. "Get out."

The two nodded. Then, they turned around and walked out.

When they disappeared from the garden, Xander's voice traveled over. "Hmph, are you letting them off so easily? You are such a weakling and a pushover!"
