Chapter 815 Distinguishing Between Real and Fake
How could Kayla just slap her like that?
With a smirk, Kayla dusted her hands and derided, "How dare a lowly servant like you interrupt us? If you don't know how to behave, let me teach you a lesson."
As soon as she said that, everyone's face became ashen.
On the other hand, Yunne was covering her swelled cheek. Enraged, she was flushed and was unable to utter a word.
However, at this moment.
There was a loud scream.
Kayla felt a sharp pain in her leg, and the next second, she instinctively bent her body.
Seeing that, everyone was shocked. Before they could react, Emmeline gave Kayla another kick in her belly.
Fortunately, Emmeline had injured her leg, so she didn't dare to exert too much strength. On the other hand, Kayla cried out in pain and slumped on the ground.
If Emmeline's leg was not injured, Kayla might have flown out by now.
With a cold tone, Emmeline uttered, "Since you don't know how to behave, I'll teach you a lesson as well. Miss Burke, what do you think of this teaching method? Is this acceptable?"
Feeling pain, Kayla covered her stomach. Although she was as mad as a wet hen, she knew if she charged at Emmeline, she would lose, even if Emmeline was heavily injured.
Therefore, she was so annoyed that she was at a loss for words.
The corner of Emmeline's lips curled up in a sneer.
After that, she turned around and glanced at Lilly—who had been standing aside with her head lowered—before asking in a deep voice, "What's your name?"
As Lilly was framed and scolded by Kayla for no reason, she had long been angry and afraid. Before today, she knew that Kayla was obstinate and unreasonable, but she thought that as long as there was no problem with the food, Kayla would never find trouble with herself.
However, she didn't expect that she would be so unlucky today.
Then, at the moment she thought she was going to get fired for sure, Emmeline intervene.
Therefore, she was grateful to Emmeline.
Now that Emmeline was asking her, she immediately answered, "I am Lilly Martin."
To that, Emmeline nodded.
"Do you know anything about the vodka that Miss Burke mentioned?"
When it came to this, Lilly's face turned bitter, and she answered, "Of course. Three days ago, Uncle Poick brought several bottles of high-end vodka and mentioned that it was for you and Miss Burke to savor it."
"At that time, I didn't care much about the vodkas and placed them in the wine rack. Then this morning, Miss Burke asked for a cocktail, so I took one of the vodkas out and prepared it for her. However, I didn't expect she would say that I was using the cheap vodka."
"For the whole time, those vodkas were in the wine rack, and I didn't even touch them. God knows why those vodkas downgraded!"
"So, Miss Illington, I feel wronged. Please help me."
After Lilly finished, Emmeline did not express her opinion immediately.
On the contrary, when Kayla heard what Lilly said, she jumped up from the ground agitatedly.
Pointing at Lilly's face, she shrieked, "Are you saying that I'm framing you?"
As Lilly was a little afraid of Kayla, she backed away and further lowered her head.
With a weakened voice, she responded, "I didn't say that."
Hearing that, Kayla scoffed.
"After all, I'm from a wealthy family. Apart from other families in Ascijan, I often had vodka. To me, they're just some normal stuff. Besides, since I come here, Jara treats me well and always offer me the best. So, why would I care about vodka?"
"I'm just mad that you are treating me like a fool. There were so many bottles of high-end vodka, and yet, you served me a low-grade one. Do you think I can't differentiate it? Or do you think I'm easy to bully?"
As soon as Kayla finished her words, Lilly's face turned paler.
Even the other servants—who were standing at the side—were quaking in their boots.
Everyone had heard that she was unruly, but they didn't expect her to be this unruly.
According to what Kayla said, was it possible for Lilly to prove her innocence?
With these thoughts in mind, everyone felt sorry for Lilly.
At that moment, Lilly was on pins and needles.
Immediately, she explained, "I know Miss Burke is from a wealthy family and have no reason to frame me, but I swear to God that I didn't steal your Vodka. If I do, I will die miserably!"
When everyone heard Lilly's words, they were puzzled.
In fact, they started to believe that Lilly was innocent.
After all, who would put their lives at stake for a bottle of vodka?
Nevertheless, Kayla sneered.
"Well, if swearing works, this world will be free from crime."
Obviously, she didn't believe it.
Hearing that, Lilly blanched.
Feeling helpless, she could only turn to Emmeline for help. "Miss Illington..."
Emmeline gestured Lilly to calm down.
Even though Emmeline seemed undisturbed, her sharp eyes showed that she understood something.
Then, she asked in a low voice, "Is the cocktail still here?"
Millay, who had been serving Kayla, replied, "Yes, Miss Illington."
"Let me have a look."
With that, Millay hurriedly brought her the glass of cocktail.
As more than half an hour had passed, the ice cubes had melted.
Even so, it didn't hinder Emmeline from determining its quality.
Right away, she took the glass. The cocktail was a mix of vodka with some other ingredients, such as cranberry juice and ginger beer, so there were some color changes.
As Kayla barely drank it, the glass was still full.
After staring at the cocktail, Emmeline took a sip of it.
Then, she frowned immediately.
Actually, she had tasted a lot of good delicacies, let alone high-end vodka.
However, this cocktail tasted weird.
Although it looked attractive on the outside, it tasted bland, and it gave off a burning sensation in the mouth that only a cheap vodka did.
It was obvious that someone had done something to the vodka.
After having one sip, Emmeline put down the glass.
"This is made with cheap vodka," she uttered.
As soon as everyone heard that, they were shocked.
"Cheap vodka? How is that possible?"
Originally, everyone thought that Kayla was deliberately nitpicking on Lilly.
However, Emmeline also said that it was cheap vodka. Did that mean Kayla was right?
Did Lilly really switch the vodkas and keep those high-end vodkas for herself?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Although they believed that Lilly wasn't that kind of person, the truth was in front of them, and they had to believe it. Therefore, they started to look at Lilly with doubts.
As for Lilly, she was also stunned by Emmeline's words.
She didn't expect that she had used cheap vodka!
