Sabrina wouldn’t merely ignore the derisive comments anymore.
“What did you all say earlier? Repeat it once more!”
Coming out of the villa, she didn’t head to the garden but stood on the steps. With her arms crossed, she looked down at the housemaids coldly.
The housemaids were just gossiping happily when they suddenly heard that frosty voice. At once, all of their expressions changed.
“M-Ms. Hayes… We didn’t say anything at all. We’re just doing stuff… We’re working…”
“Yes, really… We didn’t say anything.”
They immediately denied having badmouthed her earlier.
Upon seeing that, Sabrina sneered coldly. “I hope so. Otherwise, you’ll all regret having a mouth!”
After saying that, she spun around and strode away.
In truth, that threat of hers was considered gentle. In these past six months, her violent temper had toned down considerably, perhaps because she was nurturing a life within her.
In the past, she would have long since beat up the housemaids.
This time around, she decided to give them another opportunity.
But never did she expect the group of people behind her to actually start whispering about her again right after her back was turned.
“Look at how arrogant she was when she came over to threaten us!”
“She did such a shameful thing, yet she doesn’t allow others to speak of it. I wonder if the Hayeses are simply that kind of people. I heard that her father also messed around in the past.”
“Really?”
Following that, something flew out from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa toward the housemaid who started the second round of gossip.
Thud! The object hit the woman squarely in the face.
In a flash, blood spurted everywhere.
And in the blink of an eye, the housemaid collapsed onto the ground without even making a sound or twitching a muscle.
“Ahh!”
When the other housemaids saw that, they covered their mouths and shrieked. At once, chaos reigned in the garden.
Rosie happened to have returned home right at that moment. As soon as she saw the commotion, she instantly went over with her personal housemaid.
She was beyond surprised when she was greeted by an extremely bloody scene—a housemaid had been struck by an ashtray!
Oh, my! How did this happen?
The housemaid’s face was hit with so great a force that her mouth had a gash and the bridge of her nose dented. On the whole, her entire face was a bloody mess and it looked extremely horrifying.
“Who was it? Who on earth did this?” Rosie demanded in shock and outrage.
However, no one answered her, for all the housemaids were in shock. With their hands over their mouths, they gaped at the person who had been struck without warning with terror written all over their faces. Their minds had gone blank.
Silence persisted until one of the housemaids glanced at the window of the villa not far away.
“Ahh!” she cried out before she abruptly stumbled back a few steps from terror.
The others followed her gaze and looked over, only to shudder at the sight of a person standing by the window.
A chill ran down their spines at once.
The person stood there without saying a single word. Her gaze and expression seemed exceedingly cold and menacing; she looked just like a demon.
Good heavens! This is simply too terrifying!
Even Rosie shivered on the spot.
Sabrina Hayes? So it’s the vixen who did this?
Rage engulfed her, and she blew her top. “What are you doing, Sabrina Hayes? Do you think you’re above the law now? How dare you assault my staff?”
Sabrina’s face was devoid of emotion as she stood before the window. “As I said, I’ll make you all regret having a mouth if you mention the Hayes family again.”
“What are you talking about?”
Her remark came from out in the left field. It was so baffling that Rosie didn’t get it since she was not around just now.
The few housemaids, however, reflexively backed off a few steps after hearing that. They still had not overcome their initial shock.
None of them took Sabrina seriously when she made her remark earlier. Now, they knew she was not joking.
Meanwhile, Rosie was still bellowing, “What are you talking about? You had better explain yourself! How could you simply rough someone up so badly for no apparent reason? Is this how the Hayes family educated you?”
“The Hayes family?” Sabrina’s gaze turned all the more glacial when she heard that phrase once more. “Let me warn you and everyone else in this house. I don’t mind if you speak ill of me, but if I were to hear a single negative remark about the Hayes family, you’d be paying with your life!”
At long last, she behaved like the daughter of the Hayes family.
Her sharp gaze coupled with her dangerous and violent vibe petrified everyone present.
Rosie finally dared not say anything further but merely watched as Sabrina went upstairs. She was so infuriated that her entire face was burning red. She could not wait to rip Sabrina to shreds.
“Mrs. Sheerwood, why would Mr. Isaac bring such a woman home? How dare she speak to you in such an insolent manner!” Cleo Campbell, Rosie’s personal housemaid who was following behind her, instantly grumbled in anger when Sabrina had gone upstairs.
