In the past, Cynthia had only ever shown up at the Nacht residence as a guest. Although they were all very polite toward her, she was still considered an outsider at best.
This time, however, she had moved into the Nacht residence as a part of the family.
She replaced all of Raina’s medical staff with her own and even insisted on managing all three meals of the day for both Zachary and Ellie.
“Both Mr. Nacht and Ms. Elisa were severely poisoned, Mrs. Rawlston. It is crucial that we have Ms. Blackwood manage their meals to ensure they don’t get poisoned again or eat anything they shouldn’t. All you have to do is prepare the food according to the recipes provided,” Freya said when Mrs. Rawlston questioned her request.
“I…” Mrs. Rawlston turned to look at Zachary, who then nodded slightly at her in response. “All right, I understand.”
Cynthia then had Freya bring her two sets of recipes, and Mrs. Rawlston was about to head into the kitchen when Freya called out to her again, “Hold up!”
Mrs. Rawlston paused in her tracks, and Freya glanced at the maids around them before saying, “In order to better ensure the safety of both Mr. Nacht and Ms. Elisa, all of you are to refrain from entering their rooms on your own. Should the need arise for you to do so, please inform us beforehand.”
The maids exchanged glances before shifting their gaze toward Mrs. Rawlston, who could only look at Zachary in response. “Sir…”
“Do as they say,” Zachary said blandly.
Cynthia signed at her with a smile, ”Please don’t take it to heart, Mrs. Rawlston. I’m only doing this to prevent any bacterial infections before the poison is completely cleared out of their bodies.”
“All right, Ms. Blackwood.” Mrs. Rawlston nodded respectfully.
“That’ll be all for now. You can all go back to work.” Cynthia signed, and everyone else returned to their tasks at hand.
While preparing lunch in the kitchen, one of the older maids grumbled, “Does Ms. Blackwood think she’s the lady of the house or what? She’s acting like she owns the place!”
“Shh! Keep it down, Molly! Ms. Blackwood brought eight assistants over, so she’s got eyes and ears everywhere!” one of the chefs reminded her softly.
