Returning From The Magic World

Chapter 159 Rich Family Drama

Actually, besides being surprised, Amanda and Sophia were also stunned by Arthur's blunt words, talking about how they would do all sorts of naughty things.

Although he spoke the truth, such things should be disguised a bit. It might not be a problem for Amanda because of their relationship, but Sophia, after all, is Amanda's mother.

No matter what, everyone always imagines what they have heard. When Sophia heard about doing naughty things with Arthur, whom she considered her daughter's boyfriend, the imagination of it could not help but cross her mind, something that made her skin turn red.

That's why the two women were stunned longer than they should have been. The truth is, being a target of criminals is not surprising to them because they have lived as wealthy people for years, and experiences like that have happened to them several times.

Five minutes, six minutes. Sophia suddenly stood up and slammed the table hard.

"It must be that whore's doing," she yelled.

"Lalya, come back here!" She then looked at the kitchen.

Since she shouted, all the maids in the kitchen were panicked.

Their madam was indeed a gentle and kind woman, but her anger could be more terrifying than a lioness.

Layla's face immediately turned pale when she heard her name mentioned, her legs trembling so she almost fell.

The other maids looked at her, wondering what she had done. Was the juice she made not tasty, too sour or too sweet, or perhaps it was salty because she added salt instead of sugar?

Of course, some sharp-minded ones guessed there was something more to it because of Layla's panic, as if her fate had fallen into the hands of the grim reaper.

Sophia knew that the maid was too scared to come to her, so she finally went to the kitchen.

Amanda wanted to follow, but restrained herself because Arthur didn't move.

The man just calmly observed her mother.

Phew!

Amanda sighed. "This is embarrassing, you see the problems in our family," she said.

"I thought you didn't have any problems," Arthur replied.

"Haha, we do look dazzling from the outside, unfortunately the problems in our family are enough to make hundreds of episodes of drama." Amanda laughed with a wry smile.

"Who is the woman your mother meant?" asked Arthur.

"My father's woman," Amanda answered with an expression like she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Hearing that, Arthur immediately drew a conclusion.

This is indeed a typical drama of wealthy people, where the man cheats on his wife with another woman.

"So your mother has been cheated on? With that experience, you really throw yourself at me." Arthur looked at Amanda with strange eyes. And it wasn't just her, but also her younger sister.

Amanda could only close her lips, not commenting on it.

She then said, "My mother and father still have a marital status. My father doesn't dare divorce her because that means half of his wealth will fall into my mother's hands. My father's mistress, of course, cannot accept that, so she always tries various ways to get my mother to agree to a divorce. I didn't expect her to do it this way. It seems ehe has prepared it from the beginning and started her plan when there was another man who came to this villa."

"Well, that means there are still lackeys among the maids apart from the one delivering the juice." Arthur looked at the kitchen, observing each maid.

Although they were all panicked, he thought there were some who panicked for other reasons.

"Can you find them?" Amanda asked Arthur.

This is really a serious problem for her. She can't be calm knowing the enemy's lackeys are hiding next to her mother.

Fortunately, the latter rarely brought anyone else to this villa. And the good thing is when there is a man who comes, it's Arthur.

It made Amanda think that although her relationship with Arthur was very strange, it at least saved her from a problem that could have become bigger to the point of being uncontrollable.

If she somehow dated another guy, like Erick for example, and brought him here to meet her mother, then what happened today would be a very embarrassing disgrace in her life. It couldn't be erased even by washing her body using all kinds of water on earth.

"Don't worry, I already know them!" Arthur answered Amanda's question.

At the same time, Shopia pulled Layla towards the sofa.

Although the maid was scared, she couldn't refuse because here she was like a mouse in a cat's den. If she didn't obey, anything bad could happen to her.

Actually, she was still unsure of what was really happening because she didn't believe that Shopia found something in the juice. However, it was very well hidden, didn't have any taste or even smell. Even after drinking the juice, Shopia shouldn't have realized it.

But quickly she realized that it was indeed the cause of Shopia's anger.

She took one of the cups and pointed it at the maid.

"Drink this," she said in a commanding tone.

Hearing that, Layla trembled to the point where tears streamed down her face. She began to cry.

"M-madam, please don't punish me, I'm doing this because I have to," she said.

Pa!

She really fell after saying that.

"Hmph!" Shopia snorted coldly. However, it seemed like she didn't plan to force the maid.

Fortunately, her basic nature was that of a good woman.

Then she took her phone which was lying on the sofa and called one of the contacts on the phone.

It seemed like a video call because she moved her phone away when the call was answered.

Immediately after that, the figure of a middle-aged man with a handsome face appeared on the phone screen.

The man was wearing a suit and tie, in a luxurious room.

At first glance, he looked like a friendly man, similar to Amanda and Bella in terms of expression.

His eyes showed a little surprise as he looked at the phone screen which now showed what was being recorded by Shopia's phone camera.
