The maids exchanged glances, avoiding direct eye contact with Brad and only daring to steal glances at his expression from the corners of their eyes.
Lynn, who had prepared onion rings in the Phoenix Vill kitchen earlier that day, sensed Brad’s unease at

When Brad heard that the maids were unwilling to go to the Phoenix Villa, his expression turned even more grim.
Upon hearing the dissatisfaction in Brad’s tone, they instantly understood what was going on. Stepping forward, Lynn took a solemn bow and positioned herself at the forefront.

Seeing Brad’s seriousness, Travis knew the matter wasn’t settled. He instructed the two, “Pack up and leave.”
The two maids, who were reluctant to leave and still trying to protest, were swiftly silenced by Brad’s impatience. “From now on, anyone who speaks ill of those in Phoenix Villa will pack up and leave immediately!”
“Travis, take care of these two, Brad ordered before heading back in
When he came back inside, Nadine had finished making the pasta. Three steaming plates were on the table, and the warmth had given her cheeks a rosy glow.
