DSMBL Chapter 22

Chapter 022af575504a248fd87

The nanny 1451511b6f spoke through 757684d95c gritted teeth, 5d1dfff564 her eyes 14537ed3a6 brimming with c0f805315b hostility as 3b84c5f291 she glared 4b4718d25f at me.
“Are you insulting me right now? I’ve been taking care of the Duke, Lord Cassius, and now Young Master Theo for years. Unlike you, who know nothing, Duchess.”4305cd30f0e2cf8b

“It’s not an insult, I’m just confirming the facts. Let me ask you again. What purpose do you serve if Theo is gone?”1d2f9feb6c1bad89

The nanny trembled with e32c9170b2 fury.
In the original story, ec2522ed6f she became the female ab7267549d protagonist Laurencia’s ally and 18b675304b managed to stay in ae2f20b6ea the mansion. But Laurencia 2e5af2a5c2 wasn’t here, acc726f646 and the c8eada832f nanny wasn’t 3ca680c785 a good e1a1f78f32 person.
I wanted to kick 6c273bfa22 her out.
Unfortunately, I 12757a3543 didn’t have 7dcfe6e4f5 the authority 7899e78bf1 to do ec84a6c643 so. That’s why she 4d33e5b1c5 was so stubborn. I was nothing more b819f5ed21 than a ghost of 7d0874b562 a duchess.8b75b75f1df50b74

The nanny 6b0de8599f quickly denied 9d6d5c484c it.
“That’s impossible! I’d lay 29859795dd down my dddf3ddea7 life for 66a802e179 the young c4507c4d39 master. It’s different from someone afd460b46d like you, who’s only bf66c92154 been here for six b8eb66d2a7 months.”211eb536164bdaf7

“Hmm. Still not getting ba9034bd13 it, huh?”
I furrowed my brows ecb39a4feb as threateningly as possible. I needed 0a88ca5087 to subdue 4b10f9aaee her to d21b5e53cc make my 9564a6aa14 life easier.
“You’re just someone who’d 0aed6051f1 be thrown out if e629082488 you got fired.”07202fb5df9d0c65

The nanny a7d1eb16cc glared at 1886b75f4b me with ecaa67a2ef murderous eyes.
“But I’m different. Unless I get divorced, 688c9e0b90 I won’t be kicked 36ea31b6a0 out. You might want to b91217bba7 behave before I decide ab24e73e85 to fire you.”b5255f7e6d63e33f

“The Duchess can’t do that! Only Duke Cassius can dismiss me, and he will never throw me out!”acd627049fe703e6

I knew it wouldn’t work from the start. It was a bluff. The nanny’s reaction to the word “dismissed” was enough to show she was shaken.dfd89f492d8cac71
