The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1587

Addie said, "Because you just managed to piss me off. When I'm upset, I like to teach people a lesson. It’s a big deal that my slippers got dirty. It’s covered in juice anyway, and it's going to get dirty wherever I go. You can just follow behind me and wipe my footprints if you like!"

Everyone was stunned. To follow behind her and wipe her footprints? She was such a nasty piece of work, wasn't she planning to exhaust them deliberately?

Everyone glared at her in rage. However, Addie just scoffed, "Let me remind you all, your beloved Marina is gone. The Harper family is under my rule now! If you want to stay here, behave! Or else, find somewhere else to chill. You want to complain to old Mr. Harper? Go ahead, see who he chooses to believe, you or me?"

The maids were all young, and anyone from a more affluent family would not choose to stay here and be treated this way. But they had no choice. They needed the job.

Seeing that everyone was so angry but dared not speak up, Addie felt immensely satisfied. She took off her other shoe and threw it at the maid's feet. The maid stared at the shoe in front of her, quivering with rage. After a while, she finally managed to say, "I quit!"

The other maids heard this and their faces changed; it seemed they were also at breaking point.d2

Addie was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, "You think you can just quit? Do you think the contract you signed with us is just for show? You can quit, but you need to pay double the penalty first!"

The maids, who were just about to rebel, backed down immediately. Double the penalty? Where would they get that kind of money? They barely had anything left after sending the monthly allowance home and buying some clothes and cosmetics.

Addie felt extremely pleased, seeing how she managed to keep everyone in check with just a few words. In the past, they all relied on Marina. Now that Marina was gone, would they dare to defy her?

"Surprised to see who’s ruling the world." A clear and sarcastic voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Everyone was startled and looked towards the door, only to see a tall and slender figure slowly walking in.

Addie frowned and took a few steps forward. When she saw who it was, her pupils dilated, and she involuntarily took a couple of steps back, "It's you? Who let you in?!"

Chloe kept walking, stopping right in front of Addie. From her higher position, she looked down at Addie. Her expression was unreadable. "It seems you really think you're the mistress of the Harper family now?"

Addie couldn't help but keep her distance from Chloe. This woman might be smiling, but to Addie, she seemed hostile and intimidating. She always knew Chloe was a tough cookie, and she had always been wary of her. There had been a lot of talk about Chloe recently, and Addie was more scared than ever. Besides, her opening remark was clearly directed at Addie.
