"Also, Miss Jessie's period is normal. She just had it two days earlier than usual, and then Miss Jana asked me to tell you that Miss Jessie's endocrine system was disordered and that she didn't have her period."
Jana changes her expression and shouts reproachfully, "What nonsense are you talking about..."
Leigh gives her a forbidding glance, scaring her back a few steps. She fails to finish her words.
"Anything else?"
"Yes, there's more," Bonnie sobs and continues, "Miss Jessie had a fever once. It was very severe. I wanted to call you, but Miss Jana told me not to bother you. I wanted to call a doctor, but she still wouldn't let me."
"When I was on duty, Miss Jana asked me to go upstairs and leave every meal at the door, so Miss Jessie need pick them up by herself. In fact, Miss Jessie is not fussy about food. It was Miss Jana who told us to prepare less food. If we followed her orders, she would give us money. Otherwise, she would hit and scold us and claim that she was the mistress of this place. We all had to obey her."
Leigh's expression doesn't change at all, but his stomach is churning violently, and he has the urge to strangle Jana to death.
He asks, "Are you the only one that has assisted her?"
"They have all received Miss Jana's money." Bonnie points at several servants and says, "We take turns to deliver food to Miss Jessie during this period of time."
"Leigh, she's slandering me!" Jana hurriedly runs over to defend herself. "I don't hold any grudges against Miss Jessie, and I will definitely never do that to her. They are framing me!"
"Leigh, you must believe me. I am innocent!" She raises three of her fingers to swear. "If I ever did such a thing, my whole family would die a terrible death!"
Leigh pats her cheek and smiles, "I didn't say that I didn't believe you. Why are you swearing in such a hurry? Besides, it was the servants who did it, and you just instigated it verbally. What's the use of swearing?"
With her trick seen through by him, Jana feels a chill rising from the bottom of her feet.
She tries desperately to calm herself down. She thinks to herself that no matter what the servants say, the villa is not monitored, so she can just accuse them of slandering herself whatsoever.
"What Bonnie said is true. Miss Jana ordered us to do all these things."
"Yes, Mr. Leigh. If we didn't do it, she'd beat us."
"Mr. Leigh, it's not that we want to make things difficult for Miss Jessie. It's that Miss Jana can't get along with Miss Jessie."
"..."
The servants are quite afraid of Leigh. Seeing that Bonnie has confessed everything, they speak one after another, hoping that Leigh can treat them leniently.
Jana's face darkens and then turns pale. Soon she pretends to be a victim. "Alright. You claimed that I beat and scolded you and bullied Miss Jessie. Where is the evidence? Which part of your body is injured to prove that I hit you?"
Seeing that the servants are silent, Jana becomes more confident with her back straight. "You don't have any evidence. All you can do is slander me!"
"We have evidence. This is the money you gave us." A servant says. He takes out a stack of money from his pocket. "You gave it to me the day before yesterday after you told me to turn off the hot water valve in Miss Jessie's room."
Leigh's eyes turn cold.
However, Jana smiles calmly, "How is it possible that I have so much cash in my bag? After all, I just need make a call whenever I need something, and then it will be delivered to me and I needn't go out to buy it myself."
The servant says anxiously, "This is what you gave me. Your fingerprints are on it!"
"Alright, then let's ask Leigh to have someone examine the stack of money and see if there are any of my fingerprints on it." Jana replies calmly and confidently.
Fortunately for her, she thinks it dirty to come into contact with the servants, so she wears gloves every time she pays them.
Even God is helping her!
Jana's words make the servants unable to defend themselves, yet there's no camera in the villa. As a result, their eyes turn red out of indignation.
Jana smiles complacently and says pitifully to Leigh, "Look, Leigh. They have wronged me like this, claiming that I bullied Miss Jessie and bullied them. I must demand my justice."
