Vicki shut her mouth and didnât dare to make another sound.
However, Vickiâs words had successfully brought the nanny back to her senses.
The nanny knew if she admitted to the crime, she was doomed.
If she didnât admit to it, then Vicki would definitely find a way out for her and her family.
Moreover, she couldnât confess her crimes and openly admit Vicki was the mastermind.
She had too much to lose.
Her kids were able to buy a house and settle down in Ardlens, thanks to the money from Vicki.
The nanny resolved not to let the chain break now, so she took a deep breath and said firmly, âSir, Iâm innocent.
I swear on my life that I never put anything in Austinâs milk.
Heâs lying!â
The nanny was confident that Austin didnât have any evidence, so she brazenly added, âI might be poor, but I still have dignity.
I refuse to let your son slander me.
Iâve had my fair share of years on this earth, and I donât mind killing myself just to prove my innocence.
â
Hearing this, Vicki secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had singled out this nanny because the latter was the most cunning and clever servant here.
More importantly, the nanny was the easiest to bribe.
Because the nannyâs son was so eager to buy a house, he constantly pestered the nanny for money.
But even if the nanny worked every day for the rest of her life, her measly salary wouldnât be enough to pay for an expensive house.
So, Vicki seized this as an opportunity to tempt the nanny with a generous offer that if the nanny did this one thing for her, then she would provide the money for the house, no questions asked.
As a result, the nanny was able to buy a nice house for her son in Ardlens, and in turn, her son was finally able to climb the ranks in society.
Things were just starting to look up for the nanny and her family, and she wasnât ready to let that go.
Filled with righteous indignation, the nanny insisted on her innocence and even offered to bang her head against the wall to prove it.
Of course, she was only pretending.
Since rich families cared so much about their image, they wouldnât want to make a big deal out of this issue, especially without any evidence.
As expected, the bodyguards grabbed the nanny by the arms, restraining her from acting recklessly.
The nanny cried out indignantly, fully immersed in the role of the victim.
âs BunnyBookery ALL of a sudden, Austin spoke up.
âI have evidence!â
Stunned silence followed.
Everyone was shocked.
What kind of âevidenceâ could a child possibly have?
Austin took off the whistle that hung around his neck and held it up for everyone to see.
âThis is a whistle that can also take pictures.
I took pictures of the nanny putting something in my soy milk.
I also took pictures of the small bottle she threw away afterward.
Thereâs a name of some kind of clinic on it.
Oh, and I also took pictures of the nanny and Vicki alone in a small room.
â
This whistle had been a birthday present from Roscoe.
Austin really liked the gift and had always worn it around his neck.
Even Nicole didnât know that it doubled as a camera, let alone the others.
Who wouldâve thought that Austi n, a mere child, was clever enough to snap photos of the nanny spiking his milk?
Austin had always been so quiet and obedient that everyone just assumed he was a harmless kid.
But it turned out he was quite cunning and intelligent.
He knew that resisting would only piss Jarrod off, and that the more he misbehaved, the less likely Jarrod would trust him.
It was better to obey and pretend to be timid, waiting patiently for the right moment to strike.
And now, that moment had come.
The nanny was utterly dumbfounded.
She didnât expect that Austin would expose her like this.
It turned out he had documented all her movements.
Damn it! She had really underestimated this child.
The nanny opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Too scared to speak, she stopped threatening to bang her head against the wall to prove her innocence.
Jarrod saw right through the nannyâs dazed expression and angrily kicked her without warning.
âHow dare you hurt my son!â he roared at the top of his lungs.
âYou really want your family to suffer, donât you?â
âShow some mercy, Mr.
Schultz! Itâs all a misunderstanding!â The nanny was truly scared out of her wits now.
âIt⦠It wasnât poisonâ¦
It was⦠I didnât do it! I swear I didnât.
