Chapter 810 Industry Blacklist
Beckett and Kimberly were both shocked; they hadn't expected Lola to treat the servants so rudely and disrespectfully back then.
At that time, Winston had just returned home, and Lola had already secretly started competing with Abella.
"Ms. Lola Medici not only cursed me but also knocked over the flowers I gave to Ms. Abella Medici, breaking the vase." Lauren still felt a bit sad when she talked about it because it was a surprise she had prepared for Abella.
"It's all Maria's fault. She always led Ms. Lola Medici astray, brainwashing not only Ms. Lola Medici but also the servants. She said that for the past eighteen years, Ms. Lola Medici had been cherished by you, and loved by her five brothers. With such deep affection, whoever Ms. Lola Medici wanted to go had to leave, and she wanted us to support Ms. Lola Medici both openly and secretly."
"That's too much!" Kimberly was furious, realizing that Maria was a bad influence on Lola's character. "It was too easy to let her go back then. If I had known all this, I wouldn't have let her off so easily."
She should have at least gotten a beating!
Beckett patted her back to comfort her, "Don't get too worked up. Let Lauren continue."
If it weren't for Lauren telling them all this, they wouldn't have known that Maria and Lola were like this behind the scenes.
"I even advised Ms. Lola Medici not to be led astray by Maria, but it seems Ms. Lola Medici didn't take my words to heart."
"Ms. Abella Medici is really kind. She noticed I wasn't looking well and gave me some medicine to take once a week to improve my health. She also told me to come to her directly if I had any problems, and she would help me."
"Everyone praised Ms. Abella Medici because she indeed helped us a lot. She taught the servants how to dress, how to get rid of acne, and how to improve their skin. But Maria and Ms. Lola Medici overheard this and Maria said that Ms. Abella Medici was bribing us, which is why we didn't value Ms. Lola Medici."
"That was intentional!" Beckett slammed the table, regretting leaving Maria by Lola's side. How could someone so dark-hearted be a good influence on Lola?
"Yes, we all tried to explain that we sought Ms. Abella Medici's advice ourselves and that it had nothing to do with her bribing us. But Maria kept telling Ms. Lola Medici that because Ms. Lola Medici didn't give us gifts, we secretly praised Ms. Abella Medici for being generous, indirectly calling Ms. Lola Medici stingy."
Beckett and Kimberly were almost faint with anger. They hadn't expected Maria, who always seemed so kind and friendly, to be so manipulative behind the scenes!
"Maria even said that the things Ms. Abella Medici gave us were useless trash, and that Ms. Lola Medici would be embarrassed to give us such things." Lauren was also angry at this point.
Because no matter what Abella gave them, it was her kind gesture, and it wasn't for others to criticize. Maria was really detestable!
Over the past eighteen years, Maria had received many things from Lola, but Lauren and a few other servants had only received some medicine and supplements from Abella, yet they were scolded so harshly by Maria and Lola.
Thinking about it now, Lauren was still angry.
"But Ms. Lola Medici shared the same thoughts as Maria. Every time Maria provoked me, Ms. Lola Medici's first reaction was to make me apologize to Maria, saying I didn't respect her. If I didn't apologize, she would kick me out of the Medici family."
Beckett and Kimberly were once again shocked.
They hadn't expected the Lola they remembered as sweet, understanding, kind, and gentle to be like this behind the scenes.
She sounded like a petty, unreasonable, and ignorant spoiled brat.
"That time, Maria even had Celeste and Linda hold me down, saying they were going to teach me a lesson for Ms. Lola Medici. Luckily, Ms. Abella Medici came, and I was spared a beating." Lauren was once again moved by Abella's intervention.
Otherwise, she didn't know how badly she would have been beaten.
"No wonder Abella called me last time, saying she wanted to fire Celeste and Linda. So that's what happened." Kimberly finally connected the dots.
At the time, she had only heard Abella say she wanted to fire them because they were disrespectful and liked to bully others. She had immediately told Abella to fire them.
"Thanks to your support, Maria apologized to me. Ms. Abella Medici also docked Maria's pay for a month. But she still didn't repent!"
Kimberly regretted, "Docking her pay for a month was too lenient. If I had known she did so many heinous things, I wouldn't have let her off so easily!"
"She did plenty of heinous things! You don't know, she acted like she was the hostess of the house, bossing everyone around because she had Ms. Lola Medici's support."
"Celeste and Linda were her subordinates. They cut up Ophelia's clothes, and it wasn't the first time they did it."
Kimberly was shocked that such bullying behavior was happening in the Medici family. It was unbelievable.
Beckett was also taken aback. If it weren't for this opportunity tonight, he wouldn't have known these things were happening right under his nose.
"Moreover, they threw Riley's skincare products in the trash. They were so arrogant, telling Riley they did it on purpose. That's why Ms. Abella Medici wanted to fire them. Do you know why Ms. Abella Medici called you before firing them?" Lauren asked.
"Why?"
"Because they were so arrogant, saying that only you, who paid their salaries, had the right to fire them, not Ms. Abella Medici."
Kimberly was so angry her heart hurt. She never expected the servants to be so arrogant.
"No way." Kimberly couldn't stand it anymore. She took out her phone and gave orders, "Find Celeste, Linda, and Maria, who used to work for us, and give them a good beating. From now on, blacklist them in the industry. No one is allowed to hire them, or they'll be going against the Medici family!"
Seeing her angrily hang up the call, Lauren quickly brought over a bowl of soup, "Mrs. Medici, calm down. These things happened a long time ago. If you hadn't asked suddenly, I wouldn't have dared to say anything. This is also why I was happy when Ms. Lola Medici was sent to the other building to reflect. Ms. Abella Medici has really suffered a lot in the past six months!"
Although Lola and Maria didn't get the better of Abella, just seeing their arrogant faces made Lauren feel uncomfortable.
