Seeing this, the maid felt utterly speechless. She couldn’t understand why Iris Yates was still unsatisfied when Mr. Gallagher doted on her so much and gave her the best of everything. She wondered why Iris always defied him and insisted on doing such dirty work. It seemed the woman was simply not destined to enjoy a life of wealth and luxury!
Although the maid grumbled extensively in her heart, she didn’t dare show any disrespect on her face. She turned and left the pet room, washing her hands of the matter entirely.
After Iris scooped Mimi’s litter box, she washed her hands and replenished the cat’s food and water. She then cradled Mimi in her lap to trim its nails. Mimi was incredibly well-behaved and obedient, not fussing at all during the trim, and even gave off a happy PURR in her arms.
The corners of Iris’s lips remained turned up. She stroked the adorable Mimi gently, feeling like she finally had something to look forward to in life.
After breakfast, she stepped out of the castle and strolled around the outer gardens. Her gaze soon fell upon the small grove of trees again.
She wondered what kind of secret could possibly be hidden in there.
She walked toward it once more, but this time, several bodyguards blocked the only path.
"I’m sorry, Ms. Yates, but you cannot enter this area," one of the bodyguards said. "Mr. Gallagher has specifically instructed us that if you insist on going in, we are authorized to forcefully lock you in your room."
Hearing this, Iris’s expression darkened.
She knew there had to be a secret! And it was a secret she wasn’t allowed to know! Otherwise, they wouldn’t be guarding against her like this. Looking at the distant grove, her curiosity reached its peak. She absolutely had to find out what was inside.
It seemed she would have to create a little accident!
Iris didn’t try to force her way in. She simply turned around and left, causing the bodyguards to heave immediate sighs of relief. How could they ever dare to lay a hand on Mr. Gallagher’s woman? If they so much as touched her, they would lose their lives! They were merely trying to scare her, but fortunately, the intimidation had worked.
