Delmont followed her.
Brooke was the only one eating at home. She did not see her parents returning. "Ma'am, I'll not have that biggest piece of pork in that pork stew. My dad loves pork the most, so I will save it for him."
The maid bowed. "Alright, little princess."
"Also, is the mushroom soup for my mom done? We have to have it every day. She wants the antioxidants t o protect her skin against wrinkles and maintain her beauty," asked Brooke happily.
"It's done, little princess."
"Haha. My dad and my mom love me the most," said Brooke.
Delmont and Joy, who were at the entryway, looked at each other. Both of them had tears in their eyes. That night, Delmont had been pondering for a whole night. The business, which he had built with a great deal of effort, could not just fall short of success because of this major economic crisis. That old man named Qualls indeed had wanted something excessive.
However, Delmont truly could not lose the business that he and his wife had fought for and built. They also could not lose their precious daughter. In that case, the only person that could be sacrificed was Eira. After all, it was not anything fatal. Just like that old man said, it was just a night. One night only. If worse comes to worst, he could buy a house for Eira in the future as compensation. After she had grown up, Eira still could get married and have children, and this would not affect anything. Thinking like that, Delmont felt relieved and justified.
The following day, the couple went to the company to handle some business as usual. Originally, Eira did not need to come on the second day, but as Eira wanted too badly to steal something from the Stevens family, she still came to the Steven family's house even though she had clearly known that that was the day that Brooke was learning piano.
The maid looked at Eira impatiently. "Why are you here today? Our little princess is not at home today. She has her piano practice and it's going to take three hours. Go home."
"Ma'am, this is the pie my mom had freshly made for you."
The maid was speechless.
"Actually, I'll let you know, ma'am. I am my father's daughter. Aunt Joy also knew about this, but only my sister doesn't know. Let's hide this truth from my sister together, alright? My dad and Aunt Joy let me come in and out of here as I pleased," Eira said humbly.
In fact, Joy had told the maid about Eira being Delmont's daughter. After the maid heard Eira saying that, she felt embarrassed to turn Eira away, so she let
Eira in. Eira was the only one at the house. Also, because she had told the maid that she was Delmont's daughter, the man unexpectedly did not dare to question her anymore. The maid did not say anything even when Eira went upstairs.
There were many rooms upstairs. Eira carefully looked everywhere, and she would even secretly open the doors to take a look. Finally, she found Joy and Delmont's master bedroom. Through the gap between the door and its frame, Sabrina could see that there were quite a lot of treasures on Joy's vanity. Eira tiptoed and entered her father and Joy's room. After she got in, only then did she notice that there were watches, rings, and gold necklaces on the vanity. What should she take? Eira was incomparably surprised. She might as well take the biggest one! Eira picked up a gold necklace, looked at it in her hands, and just could not hold herself back but put it in her pocket, i
"What are you doing? You're stealing our things! You're a thief!" An incredibly sharp voice behind her suddenly roared.
