“The part that’s busted is the area beneath the basin…” The maid added.
Betty Starmount instantly panicked when she heard this…
When she was washing her hands this morning, the platinum pendant around her neck had accidentally come undone…
After that, the translucent bead inside fell into the basin hole…
Did that thing fall all the way down?
What if it accidentally clung to the outer wall or was stuck somewhere? What if Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton discovered something unusual about it. What would Betty do?
However, after thinking carefully, Betty felt that the odds were seemingly minute.
Very quickly, Betty let out a long sigh of relief…
However, just to be safe, Betty still stood up and walked over to the entrance. “I’ll have a look… I’m very good at fixing pipes…” She looked at the maid as she spoke.
Betty’s father used to be a plumber…
Growing up, she’d personally watched how her father fixed pipes by his side.
Hence, fixing pipes happened to be something Betty knew how to do…
This was the first time she felt that the experience was helpful for her.
Xyla had a look of shock in her eyes when she heard this. “Do you know how to fix it?”
Xyla really didn’t expect that a seemingly gentle and demure lady like Betty would actually know how to do stuff like this.
Betty smiled. “Yeah, I do…”
“Let the plumber fix it. It’s dirty…” Stanley said blandly.
After that, Stanley looked at the maid. “Go and fetch someone.”
However, Betty instantly chuckled when she saw this. She walked into the bathroom. “It’s fine. I’ll take care of something minor like this. You two shouldn’t bother yourselves with it. Get to work if you need to…”
