Chapter 57
These two maids look horrified.
“Gamma Janet, what are you talking about? How would we know what happened to Miss Maxie?” one
maid said stiffly.
“I heard what you said earlier. And please don’t be afraid. I am not going to tell you off. On the contrary,
I am here to help so you can totally trust me.”
Janet said that to ease off their guards.
But the maids still seemed very tensed.
“Please, Gamma Janet, don’t drag us into this.” one of them begged, “It was wrong of us to gossip
about our masters. We promise not to do that ever again. Please let us go this time.”
Janet sighed helplessly, “I already told you–I won’t tell anyone what you said. This is between you and
me.“/
One maid bit her lip reluctantly. Yet after a long moment of silence, she still shook her head and
muttered:
“I know that you meant well but…We simply can’t take the risk. All maids are held by strict disciplines
here. One wrong move and we will totally get skinned alive for it. So please, Gamma Janet, can you
just pretend that you didn’t hear anything
earlier?”
Janet let out a frustrated sigh.
She knew that she wouldn’t be about to fish anything out of these maid’s mouth today.
And honestly, she didn’t blame them.
Riverside Pack kept a tight rein on its maid and servants, making them live in constant fears of getting
punished.
Janet knew that through her own experience as a maid here.
It was not fair to ask these two maids to take the risk.
“OK. So how about this.”
Janet crossed her arms and suggested, “Let’s take a different approach here. No need to say anything.
If you feel like that Maxie is being mistreated, wink your left eye.”
They exchanged a look with each other.
And then one maid winked her left eye hesitantly.
“Great,” Janet pursued. “And now, wink your right eye if she is bullied by someone in power.‘
The maid winked again.
“Very well.” Janet let out a big sigh, “I understand that you can’t give me any details. But can you point All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
me to somebody who can? You can’t be the only two people who knew about what happened.”
“I–If you can find a maid who trust you…I think you will be able to find out about the truth.” The maid
suggested tentatively, “It is not such a big secret among the servants…”
Janet thanked them with a nod.
They scrambled onto their feet and quickly escaped the scene.
Janet watched them disappear into the distance and pondered upon what they just told her.
And then, she thought of a great person whom she could talk to.
Angelina.
Angelina was once a maid in Riverside Pack as well, so she must know things like most maids did.
And most importantly, she trusted Janet very much for helping her revenge against Harper.
Making up her mind, Janet went to find Angelina immediately, who had currently taken up a job as a
receptionist at the pack clinic.
When Janet arrived at the clinic, she was informed by another nurse that Angelina was out to check on
her patients at the moment.
“Should I call Angelina and ask her to come back now?” the nurse suggested eagerly. “No, it is fine. I
will wait for her outside. Thank you,” Janet smiled.
She was glad to see that Angelina was living a peaceful life like a normal person now. Even without her
hands, she still found a way to prove herself useful.
Janet paced back to the waiting area and took a seat there.
She pulled her phone out to text Daran about her process today.
Just then, she heard a quarrels and arguments down the hallway.
“Who the hell are you! How dare you ask me to scrub the toilet! I am telling you—BACK OFF NOW!”
This high–pitchy voice sounded very familiar.
Janet stood up from her seat and walked toward the direction of that sound. She saw a group of nurses
gathered up outside of the restroom.
And among them Janet spotted a familiar face-
Harper.
Janet almost didn’t recognize Harper at all.
The Harper she used to know was always dressed in luxury clothes. Her makeup was always flawless,
and her hair was shining and silky.
Now, however, Harper seemed as though she must have aged at least 10 years within 10 days.
Her hair was messy and greasy like it hadn’t been washed for a long time. And her skin was no longer
smooth due to the lack of attention. She was dressed in a ragged, old clothes with many patches and
dirty stains on it.
Harper was yelling at other nurses in a crazy voice now:
“My name is Harper Diaz! Lady Harper! Learn to have some respect to me you bitch-”
A nurse raised a hand and slapped Harper harshly across her face.
“Stop calling everyone bitch!” the nurse snapped, “You are not a lady anymore. We all heard your
judgement at the Civic Square. Alpha Daran said loud and clear that you are a slave now. And you
should spend the rest of your life doing hard labors to redeem your sin!”
“Exactly!” agreed by another nurse loudly, “And we are not picking up on you. All nurses clean the
restroom. It just happened to be your turn. How can you reject your duty?”
“This is not my duty!” Harper shrieked, “My duty is to become the Luna! I am Alpha Daran’s Luna! He
loves me. And he will definitely get me out of here one day. Just wait and see you filthy rats!”
She burst out some hysterical laughter and started humming a tuneless song.
It seemed as though she had lost her mind.
Janet heard a few people whispered behind her back, “Look at that woman. She is a complete nutcase
now. And she is still dreaming about becoming Luna…”
“What a joke. Doesn’t she know what she looks like now?”
A nurse strode forward and dumped a mob and a bucket of water in front of Harper.
“That is enough.”
She snapped.
“Stop acting crazy. We all know you are faking it to get out of works. Now get your ass moving and go
clean the toilet!”
“Hell no!” Harper clenched her fists and roared back, “And I am warning you–if
you
dare to lay a single finger on me, I will-

“And what will you do exactly?” a stern voice came behind Janet’s back, talking over Harper.
It was Angelina.
Harper cried while blundering back, trying to get away from Angelina.
“Are you trying to chop off my hand now? I will shove your head into the toilet I
swear-

She raised a foot to kick on Harper’s leg.
Harper uttered a terrific scream.
She struggled in that pond of dirty water, trying to get up on her feet and jump at Angelina.
But a nurse grabbed her hair from the back and stopped her.
“Do you seriously think people are still afraid of you now?”
Angelina let out a cold snort looking down at Harper.
“You are a nobody now. Even your own family has abandoned you. Without your money and power,
you are no better than any of us.”
Angelina straightened herself up and nodded to the nurse, “Lock her in the toilet. She will come around
eventually.”
The nurse dragged Harper up and shoved her into the restroom forcefully. The door was locked from
the outside.
“NO! No, please!”
Harper cried and thumped the door desperately from the inside.
“It stinks in here! I am sorry. SORRY! Just let me out, please!”
“Scrub the toilet and I will let you out. Or you can spend the night in there.” Angelina said icily.
The crowd dispersed and all nurses got back to their works, leaving Harper screaming and crying in the
toilet.
Angelina turned around and spotted Janet.
“Gamma Janet!” a bright smile came across her face, “Do you need me for something?”
