Her emotionless one-liner took Lauren aback for a moment.
But right after, she recovered. How could Nora possibly have any evidence?
If she had any, then she would have already produced it as soon as Roger came over. She was probably just being stubborn by saying something like that now!
Besides, the two of them had only chatted casually with each other a little. Outsiders hadn't heard them, so how would she have any evidence?’
Lauren snorted. "What kind of evidence can you possibly have?"
Nora raised her brows. Suddenly, she took out her phone and played a video—it was a conversation between Lionel and Greg!
Also!
It didn't just include their conversation from just now, but also what Pete had overheard them saying in the toilet that day!
When they were coming over, Pete had been worried that they would deny the allegations, so he had passed the recording to Nora.
After they arrived, Nora had deliberately stood behind the two and listened to their conversation for a very longtime before she finally stepped forward, just so she could obtain the evidence.
How would Pete and Nora possibly not have a plan B?
As for why she hadn't said anything just now...
Nora had been waiting for Lauren to come over and confront Iris. By producing the evidence at this moment, she was giving Lauren a slap in the face!
The recording finished playing. Nora had specially removed the part where the two of them called Iris a vixen—after all, the fact that they had badmouthed about their little masters was already enough.
There was no need to publicly poke fun at the elders.
There was now solid evidence of Greg and Lionel talking about their employers behind their backs. In addition, they had even said such nasty things about them. Their outcome was now a foregone conclusion!
Lauren's expression immediately changed after the recording finished playing.
She broke into a frown. Then, she immediately changed her tune. "Ms. Smith, if you had evidence of what they did, then why didn't you produce it earlier? By doing so, aren't you causing misunderstandings among us?"
Nora did not need to reply to her—because Iris had already done that for her. Iris said, "Tsk, if she had produced it earlier, then how would we have seen that side of you just now? Lauren, you covet the Hunts' housekeeping rights, yet you can't even distinguish right from wrong. How can the Hunts' housekeeping rights be given to you?! You'd better just keep Herman happy instead!"
Lauren:"!!"
Her face alternated between being as pale as a sheet and as red as a tomato. In particular, Iris lecturing her from a higher position felt especially unbearable for her.
She was a mistress-turned-lawful-wife, so her status in the family was low from the start. And now, she had been thoroughly embarrassed by someone else.
She clenched her fists angrily.
On the other side, Roger immediately said, "Tsk, look at you, Nora. If you had produced the evidence earlier, I would've dealt with these two people right away. Alright, since there is now evidence, rest assured that I will drive them out of the house. In addition, no one out there will dare to hire them ever again!"
After saying this, Roger kicked the two men's butts and said, "Get lost!"
He took the two men with him and slipped off with his tail between his legs.
It was only when he left the garden that he came to a stop. After getting someone to take Greg and Lionel away, he looked at the upper floor.
Where Justin's study was, despite curtains blocking the view, he could see a tall and lean figure standing there.
A sharp look flashed in Roger's eyes.
The person next to him asked, "Mr. Roger, what are you looking at?"
Roger sneered, "I'm looking at that man and wondering why he's so lucky to find such a smart wife!"
In the garden.
After Roger left, the rest of the servants, who had realized what happened, dispersed and returned to their respective posts to work.
For a while, only the masters of the house were left in the garden.
A triumphant Cherry was singing praises of Nora to Xander. "Did you see that? Mommy is the most powerful person on earth! No one can escape her clutches once she decides to fight!"
A silent Nora looked at her daughter. She was about to make a dry remark about how Cherry was probably the only one who would talk about her like that when she noticed Xander looking at her with his eyes all bright and shiny.
Last time, Mommy had defeated those two bodyguards who could kill even Butterscotch, and now, she'd taken revenge for him...
Xander could only sigh and marvel inwardly: Mommy was simply too amazing!
Despite his thoughts, though, he didn't dare to express them. When Nora looked over, he immediately reined in his look of worship and adopted a cool expression again. He grinned and scoffed, "What's the big deal?"
"Yes, that's right."
