Chapter 20 No One Will Be Killed

The two housekeepers ran off into the distance, and only then did Marie turn to look at the young girl.

Half of her face was already somewhat red and swollen.

Marie asked, “What’s your name?”

“My name is Jolie Kim, like the fish carp. Ms. Spence, you can just call me Jolie,” the young girl said

with a smile.

“Come with me,” Marie said.

Jolie followed her into the room, and Marie brought some ice from downstairs for her to apply. She

asked, “How did you get a fish’s name?”

“My mom loves eating fish, and she’s not really into culture, so that’s how it came about,” said

Jolie.

“Quite nice, like a fish in water, carefree and at ease,” Marie said.

Jolie received a compliment, and her eyes curved into a smile, looking absolutely adorable.

“How old are you?” Marie asked.

“I’m 17 years old,” Jolie’s voice was very clear and innocent, as if she was untouched by the ways of

the world.

“How come a 17-year-old isn’t in school, but instead working as a housekeeper and getting

bullied?” Marie asked.

“I come from a poor family, and we don’t have money for school. My mom is sick, and I have to earn

money to pay for her medical treatment,” Jolie said, feeling sad as she talked about her ill mother.

“What illness?” Marie asked.

“Lung cancer, coughing non-stop, relying on chemotherapy to get by, and each session costs a few

thousand dollars,” Jolie said.

“Do you want to follow me? I’ll give you money,” Marie asked.

“No, I don’t want the Ms. Spence’s money,” said Jolie.

“Why not?”

“I can earn money myself. My mom says we shouldn’t just take things from others. Besides, my mom’s

illness can’t be cured, so no matter how much money we have, it won’t help. I understand that,” Jolie

said.

“Do you not even want the money I’m offering you?” Marie was growing fonder of this young girl

by the minute.

“Miss, if you ask me to do something, I will do it. I am happy to follow you,” Jolie said.

“Aren’t you afraid that I won’t be favored in the Spence family, and you’ll end up being bullied because

of me?” Marie asked.

“Miss would never let me be bullied. I can tell that she really stands up for me, unlike Ms. Olive and

Ms. Carly, who only think of themselves and constantly bully others. They have such wicked

hearts,” Jolie said.

“You’re so clever!” Marie said with a laugh, playfully hitting her.

Jolie covered her face with one hand and her head with the other, looking both funny and adorable.

“Ms. Spence, from now on, I’ll follow you. Even if you kill someone, I’ll help you clean up the

mess,” Jolie said earnestly.

Marie glanced at her and said, “Don’t worry, it won’t kill anyone.”

And then, the two of them burst out laughing.

Marie would never kill anyone. She’s not like Rose, who is covered in blood. Marie has the chance to

start over, and all she wants is to take her revenge and live a peaceful life.

“Ms. Spence, you’re not pregnant, are you? Those housekeepers were just talking nonsense, right?”

Jolie asked.

“Why do I feel like I’m not pregnant?” Marie asked with great interest.

“I don’t think Miss is that kind of person. If I were to try my best to become more attractive, I would

definitely want a better life and wouldn’t treat myself like this,” Jolie said.

“Yes, I’m not pregnant,” Marie said.

Upon receiving Marie’s affirmative response, Jolie seemed even more delighted. She said, “I’m going

to tell those gossipmongers, so they can stop spreading nonsense!”

“No need, just let them think I’m pregnant,” Marie said.

“Why?” Jolie didn’t understand.

“How do you think the housekeepers would know whether I’ve been fooling around outside or if I’m

pregnant?”

“It seems like the gossip came from Mrs. Spence’s side,” Jolie said. “I noticed that those people were

constantly coming and going from Mrs. Spence and Mr. Carly’s place.”

“How did Mrs. Spence and Carly know I would get pregnant?” Marle asked. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Jolie thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, “Did they harm Miss? Is that why they’re so sure she

would be pregnant?”

“Since they care about me so much, of course I’ll make their wishes come true!” Marie said with a

smile.

“Ms. Spence, this could harm your reputation. How will you get married in the future?” Jolie said

with concern.

“No problem, I never really wanted to get married anyway,” Marie said nonchalantly.

In this life, she had only ever been infatuated with one person, Seth, but tragically, he died in Brussels.

After that, she dared not fall for anyone else.

The matter of pregnancy, she will personally help them achieve their goal step by step, just wait and

see how this situation will eventually come to an end.

Mia, Olive, and Carly, since they’ve reached a point of no return, they have no choice but to fight to

the end!

Isn’t it a fight to the death? Well, let’s see who will end up dead and who will survive!
