Chapter 906
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
The technician turned on the tap. Then, he turned the faucets of the shower and the bathtub; none of them had water at all.
âThis isnât right. They canât all be broken at the same time. Could the main water pipe outside break? But Iâve never heard about the cold-water pipes in other rooms not having any water,â thought the technician.
He removed the access panel and stared at the valve in a daze. Then, he twisted the valve, and the water from the cold-water pipes in the bathroom came rushing out.
He was speechless.
âWhich idiot turned off the cold-water valve?!â he thought.
At the Crosby residence, Dahlia had had a hard time falling asleep since last night.
There were a few times when she wanted to head to the scene. However, she was afraid Keegan would find out she was behind the incident if the plan failed.
And so, she waited the entire night and got a call from Olivia, saying Keegan did not leave the room the entire night. Dahlia became excited and thought it worked out, so she immediately told the media to head there.
âNow, I just have to wait for the media to break the news and confirm that Keegan and Jaylene had slept with each other,â thought Dahlia.
However, she waited until nearly eleven oâclock, and there was still no news. She felt a little anxious. She paced back and forth in the living room with a frown.
Blakeâs wife-Kanara Kent-had just brought her child home from tutoring when she saw Dahlia pacing around the living room. The leftover snacks and takeout box from last night were still lying on the table and had yet to be cleaned by anyone.
She immediately felt a little disgruntled. After she sent her child upstairs, she walked up to Dahlia and said through suppressed anger, âDahlia, didnât I tell you to clean this up before I left? Whyâs it still the same as before?â
Dahlia looked down on her sister-in-law.
âIf the Crosby family didnât fall, our family would never let Blake marry a lowly commoner like her. Being a penny-pincher is one thing; recently, sheâs even been prodding Blake to kick me out. If I hadnât helped Blake over these years, would they have been living this comfortably? However, I have no choice but to bow to them now that Iâm under their roof,â she thought.
Dahlia stuck her hand out and said, âI cut my finger when doing the dishes, so I canât get water on it. Iâll let the housemaid clean it up when she comes home.â
Kanara almost laughed when she saw the cut on Dahliaâs hand.
âOf course, you canât get water on it; what if you realize that itâs recovered when you get water on it? Besides, housemaids need vacation days too. Do we just stop living when the housemaid isnât around?â she thought.
âYou can hire two housemaids and let them rotationally take leaves,â Dahlia said.
âTwo housemaids?âthought Kanara. She chuckled and glanced at Dahlia.
âThen, whoâs going to pay for the second housemaid? You?â
Dahlia frowned, âDidnât I give you all some money over New Yearâs? Itâs more than enough to hire another housemaid, right?â
âOver the New Yearâs?â Kanara was amused.
