Chapter 1627
John turned to Mia. “Tell me, what did she make you do?”
Mia swiped a glance at Julie, then turned back to John with an unnerved look “Master Stockton, would you promise to not lay a finger on my family if I told you everything?”
John agreed, “I promise to not hurt your family.
Mia took a deep breath and began her confession, “Madam has made me do many things for her that I can’t even keep count of Those pictures of you that you see in the secret room and those wax figures? | was the one who made them for her.”
John frowned. “What did she have you do for her recently?”
Recently?
Mia racked her mind and began spilling her secrets, “After you took Ms. Fowler back home, she has been trying to come up with some ways to get Ms. Fowler to leave you for good At first, she went about it by trying to sow conflict between Ms. Fowler and Madam Stockton, hoping that Madam Stockton would get upset with her and try to boot her out of the house. At one point, Ms. Julie found out about it and gave her a stern lecture.”
“It was around that time when I began noticing that you two haven’t been sleeping together, and so I informed her about it. That was when she began to have me spy on you two now and then until this one time when Ms. Fowler got drunk and slept over at your room. When she found out about it, she got so frantic that she forgot to lock the secret room because she was in such a hurry, and that was how Madam Stockton found out about the existence of the room.”
“Madam Stockton wanted to find her a new husband so that she wouldn’t have to stay here all the time, but she didn’t want to be away from you, so she began plotting…”
John frowned menacingly. “How did she do it?”
Mia’s voice was trembling. “It was that time when you went on a business trip and were away for a few days. When she found out that Ms. Fowler was taking Miss Caprice to the park, she had me tip off Master Mason and arrange a coincidental meeting between the two. While they were are the park, I took pictures of them together I also heard about them making plans to go out for dinner. You know what happened after that…”
The ceiling lights above cast a harsh, brilliant glow on the man’s face. Despite that, it could not erase the heavy gloom on his face.
Madam Stockton, Queenie, and Emerence were equally surprised by the confession.
For a moment, nothing but silence lingered in the air around them.
John’s voice broke the hefty silence, “Continue.”
