In the living room, Liu Ling and Wang Ma loathed each other, and a strong sense of hostility filled the air between them.

"Liu Ling, you're someone I brought into this house. I really didn't expect you to put the pen holder in my room!"

Wang Ma felt a chill run down her spine. If she had discovered it a second later, she might have been confirmed as a thief.

Liu Ling grinned, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, which she quickly concealed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand! I didn't do anything to you. I've always considered you my best friend!"

"If you ask me, I'm sure you're the one crying wolf! You're the one who actually stole things from my house."

Liu Ling glared fiercely at Wang Dan standing in front of her, her face full of malice, completely unlike her usual kind demeanor.

Wang Ma snorted coldly, looked at Liu Ling with a mocking gaze, and said in a deep voice.

"You put the pen holder in my room, Liu Ling. I'm sure it was you who did it."

"No one usually comes into my room. You are the only one who can come and go freely."

Wang Ma was very puzzled. She had always been very friendly to Liu Ling in her daily life, so why would Liu Ling frame her?

Liu Ling, of course, could not admit it herself; faced with Wang Ma's accusations, she simply stuck to her original idea.

"Bullshit. Wang Dan, you're the one with a guilty conscience. Don't try to pin your problems on me."

Liu Ling shifted the blame to Wang Ma, her only thought being to get rid of the problem as soon as possible.

Wang Ma looked at Liu Ling with disdain, not understanding why Liu Ling would commit theft.

Anyone with a normal mind knows that if you work hard in your current employer's home, your future treatment will definitely improve.

A deep sense of disappointment surfaced in Wang Ma's eyes.

"Sister Liu, you know what you've done. I don't want to waste any more time talking to you. You'd better take care of yourself!"

After saying that, Wang Ma simply turned her head away, not even glancing at Liu Ling.

Liu Ling was furious, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

If we really anger Wang Ma, she might reveal the dirty deeds Liu Ling had done for other employers in the past.

The two of them kept quiet and waited in the living room for the old housekeeper to bring Zhou Xinyao over, as if the previous argument had vanished.

Soon, Zhou Xinyao, led by the old housekeeper, slowly walked down the stairs.

"lady!"

"lady!"

Liu Ling and Wang Ma both noticed the noise coming from the stairs and turned their heads towards the stairs.

At this moment, the two are no longer colleagues, but more like competitors.

Under their gazes, Zhou Xinyao walked up to them and sat down on the sofa.

"I heard everything from the old butler..."

Zhou Xinyao looked calmly at the two nannies in front of her.

Wang Ma was the first person Zhou Xinyao hired, and she was impeccable in her daily work. Zhou Xinyao was very satisfied with Wang Ma.

As for Liu Ling, Zhou Xinyao didn't want to add another nanny to the family before, but Liu Ling's initiative and enthusiasm gradually dispelled Zhou Xinyao's concerns.

Humans can only be understood through interaction.

Zhou Xinyao had long known that Liu Ling was the murderer who attacked her and the thief who stole her belongings.

"Is there anything you two want to say to me?"

Zhou Xinyao was serious and didn't smile much. Although she was in postpartum confinement, she didn't feel tired at all.

Wang Ma glanced at Liu Ling, and was about to speak when Liu Ling interrupted her.

Liu Ling stepped forward, her face full of flattery, and spoke with a smile.

"Madam, I am an honest man, and I have no idea why your pen holder would appear in my room."

"Someone must be deliberately trying to smear me! They want to make me their scapegoat!"

"I was wronged."

Liu Ling's aggrieved words sounded as if they were true.

Wang Ma was speechless, but suppressing her annoyance with Liu Ling, she said something.

"Madam, Sister Liu is actually completely different from what we see."

Wang Ma wanted to expose Liu Ling's hypocritical facade in front of everyone, revealing her true self.

Hearing what Wang Ma said, Liu Ling's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly interjected.

"Hehe, Wang Dan, I think you can't stand to see me doing well, so you want to slander me. I'm sure your wife knows better than you what kind of person I am."

"I don't need you here to remind me. Do you think Madam is a fool?"

Liu Ling abruptly changed the subject, surprisingly steer the conversation towards whether Zhou Xinyao was mentally challenged.

The old butler coughed softly, drawing the attention of the two men to himself.

"You two, get down to business and stop with the useless questions."

Zhou Xinyao spoke up at the opportune moment to add to the story, deceptively saying...

"Sigh, it's our oversight that we didn't install security cameras at home. The old housekeeper has always managed the old house, so he definitely wouldn't steal anything."

"Similarly, the thief must be someone living in the house, definitely not a stranger."

Everyone agreed on this point, even the old butler nodded repeatedly.

The person who knows where the valuables are kept must be someone living in the old house.

“Wang Ma, Liu Ma, it’s not that I don’t trust you two, but the facts are right in front of me, and I can’t help but doubt you two.”

Zhou Xinyao looked conflicted, her gaze towards the two of them filled with scrutiny.

"I'll give you two a chance. If the person who stole the item comes forward and confesses to their crime, I can let bygones be bygones for their past actions."

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Wang Ma and Liu Ling exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

I don't know if what Zhou Xinyao just said is true or false.

Wang Ma had not done anything wrong and had no opinion on what Zhou Xinyao said.

As for Liu Ling, she was extremely upset.

Should I tell Zhou Xinyao what happened? Should I expose myself?

Her brain was working rapidly, Liu Ling's eyes darted around, and she was completely absorbed in thinking.

In the end, Liu Ling concluded that this was Zhou Xinyao's conspiracy, a bait to lure her out.

The claim that no one will be held accountable is a complete lie.

The stolen goods were not worth a penny or two; Liu Ling made over 200,000 yuan just from reselling them.

We absolutely cannot admit it! This is Liu Ling's decision.

"Madam, I, Liu Ling, am ready to file a formal complaint!"

"The thief was actually Wang Dan!"
