Chapter 492: Chapter 495: Simply Because I am the Master of This House
“Wait a minute!” The original housekeeper stood up, sticking out her neck.
“Miss, I am the real housekeeper of this family. I have served the Gray family for so many years, how could you treat me like this?! Where did this old lady come from? By what right can she snatch the housekeeper position from me?”
“Oh, by what right?” Lily Gray laughed, looking at her as if she were a fool. “Because I am the real owner of this house, and you, you are nothing.”
“Furthermore, Ellie holds a senior qualification certificate from the British Butler Association. Tell me, what do you have?”
All the Lucas family’s butlers would receive such British butler qualification training.
Although Ellie is old, she underwent a period of training when she was young, after she followed Emily Taylor to get married into the Lucas family.
“Very well… Lily Gray, you really are heartless! There’s no place for me here, but there are other places for me. I quit!”
The housekeeper, maliciously, picked up an ornament from the entrance hall and wanted to smash it to the ground.
Unfortunately, her hand didn’t even get a chance to touch the ornament, as it was grabbed by another strong, powerful big hand before she could do it.
“Ah… ah ah ah… it hurts… let go, let go quickly…”
A burly man in black, who had been silently following Lily Gray, quickly darted to the front to block the housekeeper’s actions before she could do anything.
“Throw her out, and if you see her here again, break her legs and drive her away.”
“Yes, Young Lady.” The burly man in black grabbed the person and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lily Gray.
“Wait a minute, what did you just call me?”
The burly man in black, who originally had a cold expression on his face, lowered his head in guilt upon hearing Lily Gray’s question.
Because of his guilty conscience, he couldn’t control the strength in his hand.
With a “crack” sound.
The sound of bones shattering came clearly from the former housekeeper’s wrist.
“Ah—- it hurts, it hurts, it’s killing me!”

After dealing with the greedy former housekeeper, the remaining three servants in the family were considered honest.
With a little training from Ellie, they could be kept and used.
These days had been full of turmoil.
Being able to return to her own home finally put a huge weight off of Lily Gray’s heart.
While she was in the Lucas family residence, she had to be careful to prevent Aidan Lucas from suddenly approaching her. Even sleeping was difficult for her.
But at her own home, there would never be such concerns again.
However, she still couldn’t relax now.
Lily Gray was well aware of the principle of acting out the whole play.
So as not to arouse Aidan’s suspicion, she turned around and asked Ellie pitifully.
“Ellie, I didn’t want to show my weakness in front of outsiders just now, so I didn’t ask in detail. Did you hear…that person said that my aunt and my grandma drove me out of the house? Do you know about this, is what she said true?”
As soon as Ellie heard the Young Lady’s question, she immediately recited the lines that the Young Master had instructed her to say.
“Young Lady, no, Miss Gray… don’t worry about it. Just now, that person was just trying to upset you. Everything she said was meant to anger you. Your grandmother has been taken away to enjoy a better life by your aunt and left the Gray family shares to you before leaving. Be at ease and manage the company well; the Gray family will get better and better.”
“Oh, really? That’s good. In that case, I can be at peace.”
“Yes, Miss, you should go back to your room and rest. I’ll call you when it’s dinner time.”
Ellie was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
She knew that Lily Gray hadn’t been able to eat well or sleep soundly at the Lucas family residence lately.
Seeing Lily Gray lose weight day by day, not only the Madam was anxious, but Ellie was also worried.
Ellie came prepared this time. Starting tonight, she was determined to cook a variety of delicious dishes every day to help the Young Lady recover her strength.
