The same night, in the big villa on Platanus Road.
The servants couldn't sit still, because today was the deadline that Leslie should pay their weekly salary. But they didn't receive anything.
"What happened? Did Mr. Eastwood forget?"
"He no longer pays on time. This tiny amount of money is nothing to him. It seems that he doesn't care about Ms. Collins."
"She's just a reproductive machine. What do you expect?"
"She'll be miserable once the child is born."
"She is on bail now, so she will go to jail after the child is born."
On the stairs, Catherine stopped in situ. She held onto the railing and stared coldly at the maids sitting on the sofa.
A few seconds later, a maid inadvertently raised her eyes and saw her, her chest shrank slightly in fright.
Catherine's eyes were deep and cold, like an ancient well.
She quickly pulled another maid beside her who was still talking. When the maid looked up and saw Catherine, she immediately shut up.
Gradually, everyone saw the woman standing on the stairs.
Catherine looked like a ghost with a cold light in her eyes.
There was a brief silence in the living room.
A maid picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, and a piece of news immediately appeared on the screen.
The rigorous voice of the host of a legal program came out...
"Leslie was arrested. His criminal evidence has been exposed on the Internet, but most of this is just speculation. When the official announcement is made, there must be more unknown details. How bad a person can be may be completely beyond your imagination..."
On the big screen, while the host was talking, the scene of Leslie's arrest was played behind him.
Catherine's fingers holding the railing tightened slightly, and there was a slight shock in her eyes, but it was only for a moment.
