Chapter 376 : Fell from a tree
Another one followed, "Madam, you are the most beautiful and kind mistress in the world. There is no second one even if we search with a lantern. Please, please do us a favor. We promise to take good care of the children in the future and such incidents will never happen again!"
Ivy took a long deep breath and asked the maid who had taken out a loan to buy a house, "What were you doing one minute ago?"
"I... I was..." The maid suddenly couldn't speak.
She was picking her favorite flavor from a pile of wedding candies, planning to take them back to her child to eat. But how could she say something like that?
Ivy turned to the other maids, "What were you all doing after Alexander and I returned from the hotel?"
"We..."
Each of the maids blushed deeply and couldn't answer.
They were all eating wedding candies, chatting, cracking melon seeds. But how could they have the face to say something like this?
Ivy's face turned colder and she said, "Today is the day of my wedding with Alexander, which I thought would be the happiest and happiest thing. But at the hotel, we experienced all kinds of unhappiness, and even when we returned home, we still can't feel any warmth.
These six children not only belong to me but are also Alexander's flesh and blood, and they are the young masters of this family! But how do you treat the young masters? You don't even know when Sixie fell from the tree!
We treat you as family, giving you the highest treatment, but you treat us as outsiders, showing no concern for our children. Sixie nearly lost her life! Do you want me to plead for you? Are you joking?"
The maid who had taken out a loan to buy a house pointed at Sixie and confidently said, "She's fine, isn't she? If something really happened to her and you fire us or cut our salaries, we agree to that. But right now, everything is fine..."
Speaking of this, she turned to Maria for a judgment, "Maria, you have been the housekeeper here and are not unfamiliar with us. Do you know if our salary is right?
It's precisely because of this high income that I dare to take out a loan to buy a house. If you fire us just like that, how am I supposed to pay off my mortgage?
I won't be able to pay it back, isn't this pushing people to a dead end? Head Butler, please give us a fair evaluation. Is it right for Mr. Ashford to dismiss us like this?"
Maria snorted, "No, you should be sent directly to jail!"
"Maria?" The woman who had taken out a loan to buy a house had a face full of resentment, "I misjudged you. I thought you were a righteous person, but I didn't expect you to be with them!"
Maria said, "I am indeed a righteous person, but I didn't expect you to be such a troublemaker!"
"If you truly cannot understand the pain of others, let's try to put ourselves in their shoes.
Suppose a few of us were hired as domestic helpers by you, and you pay us a high salary every month. Apart from cooking and doing household chores, we indulge in all sorts of entertainment and pay no attention to your children. Can you accept that?"
"What's there not to accept? As long as the children don't get into trouble, everyone can eat and have fun!"
Upon hearing the domestic helper's words, Ivy and Maria were furious. No wonder Alexander said he wanted to change the domestic helpers. These irresponsible helpers who only seek pleasure should have been replaced long ago.
At that moment, Annabel and Richard walked hand in hand into the hall.
The domestic helper, upon seeing the two elderly people, immediately pleaded, "Grandma, we have been working at the Ashford family for many years, we are all old employees here. Mr. Ashford can fire us just like that, we weren't prepared for it. Please, please speak up for us and let us stay!"
Annabel let out a sarcastic laugh, having already heard about the situation from Richard.
These helpers who receive high salaries but don't take care of the children properly, indeed deserve to be phased out.
"You want to stay? Fine! Let your children climb up to the top of the osmanthus tree and jump down from there. The consequences will have nothing to do with the Ashford family. As long as you can fulfill that, you can stay!"
