Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 244

Annalise Barton suddenly looked up. Mina Simmons was clutching the hand of the servant. Enraged, Mina yelled at the servant, “Talk! What are you trying to do, huh?” The servant was frightened by Mina. Her voice was trembling. “No, I didn’t do anything. I saw that the old madam’s pillow was crooked and wanted to shift it.” “Bullshit!” Mina was livid. She glared at the servant. “Are you not going to tell me the truth? If you don’t, I’ll kill you.”

Jason Zeller looked at the servant sternly. “What were you doing just now?” He did not see what the servant did, but it was very likely that the servant did something by the looks of the situation. Otherwise, the young lady wouldn’t have been so furious or spoken such words. The servant could explain herself now if it really was a misunderstanding.

“That’s not true, Mr. Zeller. I just wanted to help the old madam shift her pillow,” the servant explained immediately. “Are you still not going to admit it?” Mina glared at the servant hatefully. Mina reached out and tugged the servant’s arm, rolling her sleeves up. The servant struggled desperately. “What are you doing? Ah, stop this! Ouch, it hurts…” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

The acupuncture needles were still on Old Madam Zeller’s body, and the moxibustion was underway. She felt sleepy. She originally planned to close her eyes and have a good sleep. After all, she had been tortured by illness for many years, and it was difficult for her to sleep well. Hearing the commotion, she immediately opened her eyes Then she saw Mina tugging the servant. “What happened?” she asked.

“Old Madam, save me. Boohoo, this girl is bullying me… I just wanted to move the pillow so you could sleep more comfortably, but she said I wanted to harm you. Old Madam, you know best what kind of person I am…” The servant cried and begged Old Madam for help. Mina was furious. She grabbed the servant’s hand forcefully and pulled up her sleeve. “You evil bitch. Do you think we’re blind, huh? You were trying to prick a needle in the old madam’s head. Do you think I didn’t see that?”

“I’m innocent. I didn’t…” The servant tried her best to pull her hand back. Perhaps because her desire to live was too strong, her hand did not budge no matter how tightly Mina grabbed her. Then she shook Mina away. away. Mina took two steps back because of inertia. Ammalise immediately reached out to support Mina. Mina said anxiously, “Mentor. I saw it with my own eyes. She used the excuse of moving the old lady’s pillow. She was holding a needle in her hand and wanted to stab the old madam. She would have pricked the old madam if I hadn’t stopped her.”-

“Is that true?” Jason’s aura turned cold. His eyes were unfeeling and bloodthirsty as he stared at the servant. He was a modest person and rarely this harsh. In the past, he trusted this servant. However, this concerned the old madam’s safety. He had to get to the bottom of this. She was just a servant, not a doctor. Why would she need a needle? The servant fell to her knees and cried, “Mr. Zeller, I really didn’t. I didn’t!” “Then let me search you,” Mina said.

The servant straightened her neck. “So be it. I’m even willing to strip naked and let you search me. I’ll do anything as long as I can prove my innocence.” “Mentor, let me,” Mina said as she walked toward the servant. ‘Do I need to take off my clothes?” the servant asked. “I’ll do it myself!” Mina said. Mina had been looking at the old madam earlier. She thought she should guard the old madam well since her mentor said there were still 12 minutes left.

When the servant moved the old lady’s pillow, she was afraid that the servant would accidentally touch the acupuncture needles. She was about to remind the servant to be careful when she saw the servant quickly fish out a needle from her sleeve and wanted to prick the old madam. Mina was so frightened that she immediately shouted. Then the servant retracted the needle. She must have hidden the needle. It was definitely on her. Mina just had to search thoroughly. Mina stared at the servant’s right hand and lifted her sleeve. The sleeve was lifted, but there were no needles there. Mina frowned slightly. Where was the needle?

It was impossible. She had clearly seen the servant tuck the needle into her sleeve. “Please take off your jacket,” Mina said. The needle must have been hidden in her clothes. She searched carefully. The

servant looked humiliated as she took off her coat. The servant was in her fifties and slightly plump. When she took off her coat, her undershirt looked tight on her. She was not wearing a bra either, her breasts drooping down.

She looked even more humiliated. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled. “You have to look carefully. I’ll strip again if you can’t find it. For someone my age, nothing is more important than my innocence.” Jason looked at the scene in front of him, frowning. This servant had done her best taking care of the old madam for over 20 years. If she wanted to harm the old lady, she did not have to wait until today. However, it was also possible that someone with evil intentions had only recently bribed her.

Human hearts were unpredictable. There were instances where people remained good for decades but did ruthless things once they were tempted by benefits. Mina carefully searched the clothes that the servant had taken off. She didn’t just observe. She squeezed the clothing inch by inch with her hands. She didn’t find anything. She frowned even more and stared at the servant sharply. The servant stood there, her back ramrod straight. She took the initiative to say, “I’ll take off this one too.”

The old madam’s face darkened. “That’s enough.” There were men here. Why would a woman in her fifties undress in front of men Jason said, “Take it off. I’ll leave first.” “Mr. Zeller. You also think I want to harm Old Madam, don’t you?” The servant looked at Jason aggrievedly. She then looked at Old Madam. “Old Madam, you don’t believe me either? Okay then… Please leave first, Mr. Zeller.” Jason turned around and left. Then the old madam said, “This matter is probably a misunderstanding. Let’s end it here.”

Mina must have good intentions. Otherwise, there was no need to make things difficult for the servant. However, the servant took care of her for more than 20 years. They had formed a close bond. She did not think she would do anything to hurt her. The old madam was relieved since no needle was found. It’s better if it was a misunderstanding. “Old Madam, I have to prove my innocence…” The servant took off her clothes decisively. She couldn’t care less about how crude it was to be naked and handed the

clothes to Mina. “You can search now.” Mina’s brows were tightly furrowed as she took the clothes and searched. There was nothing!, Why?

She was only 19 years old this year. She couldn’t be seeing things. She did spot the servant trying to prick the old madam with a needle. She said anxiously, “Mentor, I’m not lying. I saw it with my own eyes.” The servant looked at Mina, tears welling up in her eyes. “Since there are only women here, I’ll take off my pants. Search carefully. I hope that after searching me, you can clear my name.
