His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1086

By then, she would not pose much of a threat to them anymore.

“I hope she will know when to stop,” Lily sighed, leaning back as she prepared to lie down.

“Wait!” Alexander stopped her and pointed to the spot behind her. “We’ll get someone to clean the room up. Let’s sleep in another room tonight.”

Lily looked around and noticed that the room was indeed a mess. Hence, she nodded and followed him out of the room.

When Heather woke up in the morning, she could smell a special, tangy aroma, which made her a little hungry. After washing up, she went downstairs and saw a bowl of soup, a few side dishes, and some staple foods on the table.

“Breakfast looks good today,” she praised, then sat down to eat.

The maid stood next to her, appearing hesitant to speak. When Heather noticed that she asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Ms. Riggs, it seems that a thief has broken into the house.” The maid hesitated for a moment longer but decided to report it to Heather as it was a serious matter.

Heather’s hand holding onto her spoon froze mid-air for a moment before she turned to look at the maid. She ate slowly and had a rough idea of what had happened. “Oh? Is anything missing?”

“No, nothing is missing. What happened was that there were many dishes in the kitchen sometimes, but the chef said he did not cook them. Initially, I thought the chef made a mistake, but something seems strange these days.”

After a while, the maid asked, “Ms. Riggs, should we check on it? Oh right, I’ve checked the dishes. They’re not poisoned.”

Heather nodded and said, “Yeah. Tell the chef he’s fired.”

“Ms. Riggs?” The maid was shocked. “Did he do something wrong? Although the chef did not look after the ingredients well, we should be concerned about who sneaked into the kitchen. I…”

“I know who it is.” Heather took a sip of the soup and put the bowl down before she continued, “Since she likes to cook so much, she can be the chef from today onward.”

When Heather said that, she looked in the direction of the basement. The maid came to realize something. “You mean to say…”

“Guard this house with a tighter defense in the future. No outsiders are allowed to come in without my permission. Also, get those gardeners and other workers to stay away from this house,” she said.

“Yes, Ms. Riggs. Other than the bodyguards, we stop unauthorized personnel from coming close to the house.” Since the maid came from the island together with Heather, she understood this rule well.

However, Heather reprimanded, “No! No one is allowed to come close, including the bodyguards! I repeat, no one is allowed to come close!”
