Chapter 2169: Chapter 2383

“What’s going on?” she asked politely.

One of the maids, Betty Benton, stood before Dulcie, her expression a mix of arrogance and jealousy.

“Are you the maid who’s always in Mr.

Shaw’s room, trying to cozy up to him?”

The other maid, Reina Cortez, chimed in, “Yeah, it’s her! I saw her go to the kitchen and bring Mr.

Shaw some food yesterday.

”

Dulcie appraised them and said calmly, “I’m a maid, but seducing him isn’t on my agenda.

Show some respect.

”

Betty crossed her arms and sneered.

“Look at you, all dolled up every day, never in the maid’s uniform.

Everyone sees through your act! You claim you won’t seduce him? Who are you kidding?”

Recognizing their intent to cause trouble, Dulcie’s face turned stony.

Their hostility didn’t deserve her friendliness.

“Mr.

Shaw says I don’t need to wear the maid’s uniform.

If you have a problem with it, report me to him.

”

“You!”

Betty and Reina were livid.

Betty snapped, “Don’t think you’re special! Being Mr.

Shaw’s personal maid doesn’t mean you can disrespect me.

You’re no better than us.

You know what? Even though I’m young and haven’t been here long, my word holds weight.

”

Reina boasted, flaunting Betty’s connection, “Do you know Hyde Wilson? The Shaw family holds him in high esteem.

He recommended Betty for this job.

She could be Mr.

Shaw’s future wife.

You’d better keep your distance.

Step out of line, and Betty won’t show mercy.

You’ll be out on your ear!”

Dulcie couldn’t help but chuckle.

There was no way Kyson would fall for such a clueless woman.

“So, you’re here for a fight.

Bring it on.

I grew up in the mountains, doing all kinds of hard labor.

I’ve got strength.

Don’t blame me if you get hurt.

”

Dulcie was always kind and never looked for trouble, but she wouldn’t back down from a challenge.

Reina’s expression shifted to fear.

Anyone caught fighting would be punished or even fired.

Moreover, it seemed that she was no match for Dulcie.

If she lost, she’d be humiliated and jobless.

At the thought of this, Reina quickly hid behind Betty.

Betty, relying on her connections, wasn’t afraid of Dulcie.

But if the Shaw family found out about the fight, she wouldn’t be in a good position, even with someone having her back and her job secure.

It was wiser to scheme against Dulcie later.

With a disdainful snort, Betty said, “Consider this a warning! Behave around Mr.

Shaw.

I’ll be watching.

Step out of line, and you’re out!”

Dulcie smiled.

“I’ll be waiting.

”
