Seeing this, Hazel Morgan clicked her tongue impatiently and forcibly grabbed the maid's hand, placing the money in her palm.
"Ma'am, I can't accept this, I..."
The maid tried to pull her hand back, but Hazel held on tightly, her gaze fierce.
"If you don't take it, I'll tell the butler you stole from me. It's your choice."
"Ma'am! I didn't steal anything, I really didn't!" The maid's eyes widened in fear.
Hazel sneered, "Who do you think they'll believe, you or me?"
The maid lowered her head. She was just an employee, and she could tell that the lady didn't like the husband much.
Now, with Hazel's reaction, it was clear she was pregnant and didn't want to tell her husband. If Hazel did something drastic, the maid couldn't bear the responsibility.
"Ma'am, I..."
"Take the money or go find the butler!" Hazel gave her only these two choices. Reluctantly, the maid accepted the money.
