Chapter 5: The Maid Everyone Misjudged
News of the attempted murder spread across the city.
Television stations replayed one moment over and over.
The maid being slapped.
The bottle crashing onto the floor.
The poisonous foam appearing.
Millions called Clara a hero.
Emma couldn't stop thinking about what she had done.
She had struck the one person trying to save her son.
The following week, Emma gathered every employee in the mansion.
She walked toward Clara.
Without saying a word...
She knelt.
Every servant gasped.
"I'm sorry."
Clara immediately tried to help her stand.
"You don't owe me this."
Emma shook her head.
"I judged you before I listened."
She placed a small velvet box into Clara's hands.
Inside was the deed to a beautiful house.
"And this is only the beginning."
Clara looked speechless.
Emma continued.
"You saved my son's life."
