As the staff at the Giblo residence didn't like Selena, they quickly formed a bond with the Lierger family staff.
It didn't take long for Mrs. Bolistin to be on good terms with Freda.
Freda checked with Mrs. Bolistin as to whether there was a need to bring the Lierger family's cooks over. After all, she was worried that Mrs. Bolistin couldn't cope.
Mrs. Bolistin reassured her that it was all right as they had nothing much to do before that. Now that Carla was back and the family reunited, the atmosphere in the villa was extremely vibrant.
All the maids were delighted and were more than willing to help.
Freda was touched to hear their response. She was also surprised by how attached the old maids of the Giblo family were to Carla.
In fact, Mrs. Bolistin even told her that they saw her as family. Hence, she didn't need to behave like a stranger.
Freda nodded and reminded them not to overexert themselves. They should let her know if they couldn't cope and she would arrange for more help.
After acknowledging what Freda said, Mrs. Bolistin returned to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Molly sighed aloud and commented that the villa felt different now that the real lady of the house was back.
Obviously, she had said it just to spite Selena.
At that moment, everyone in the house ignored Selena as if she was invisible. In fact, she was even resented by many of them.
The Bendays had brought eight medical staff. Now that three had been kicked out, there were still five left. They too were ignored.
When Selena returned to the room with a grim expression, the five of them quickly approached her.
"Ms. Selena, why don't we go home? Since, these people don't like us, staying here will just cause them to resent us."
"Exactly. Even the maids dislike us. Despite doing so much, they don't appreciate us at all. So, why should we stay here and suffer?"
"Now that his wife is back with such fanfare, I'm afraid it might be troublesome for you to stay back given how powerful she is-"
Slap!
Before the nurse could finish, Selena gave her a slap.
Fill with rage, she put all her strength into it.
Even though the nurse's cheek was swollen red with a clear palm print on it, she lowered her head and didn't dare make a sound. Gritting her teeth, tears gradually rolled down her cheeks.
Selena raised her chin in an intimidating manner so that she could look her in the eye. After that, she signed angrily, "Listen well. I paid all of you so much to work for me. Even if you need to suffer, so be it!"
"Yes!" the medical staff meekly replied.
"The Liergers and the Giblos are mortal enemies. Zayn won't want to get together with Carla. Even if he does, we can rely on Mr. Giblo to stop them." Selena continued to sign, "I know what I must do and don't need any of your stupid opinions and concern."
"Yes, we understand." All the medical staff were frightened of her.
At that moment, Selena looked savage and was entirely different from her gentle demeanor.
"Mind your words and stop spewing nonsense." She signed, "Just do whatever I tell you to. If you hear anything useful, let me know at once, and you will be handsomely rewarded."
"Yes." They nodded in acknowledgment.
"Get out now, " Selena ordered.
After the staff walked out, Selena was the only one left in the room. With Freya gone, she felt exhausted. All she was left with was a useless bunch who weren't much help at all.
Nevertheless, Selena wasn't going to admit defeat.
Given how much trouble I have gone through to stay in the Giblo residence and hold an important position by Zayn's side, it will be a shame to give up now. Carla is just too strong, there's no way I can challenge her successfully. What should I do?
Just as she was pondering upon it, her phone suddenly rang. She quickly answered as it was Layon on video.
"Selena, how are you? Did Carla bully you?" Layon asked anxiously.
"What do you think?"
Selena rubbed her neck. The mark from Carla's grip was still visible. She was almost strangled to death just now.
