Chapter 906
The technician turned on the tap. Then, he turned the faucets of the shower and the bathtub; none of them had
water at all.
'This isn't right. They can't all be broken at the same time. Could the main water pipe outside break? But I've never
heard about the cold-water pipes in other rooms not having any water,' thought the technician.
He removed the access panel and stared at the valve in a daze. Then, he twisted the valve, and the water from the
cold-water pipes in the bathroom came rushing out.
He was speechless.
'Which idiot turned off the cold-water valve?!' he thought.
At the Crosby residence, Dahlia had had a hard time falling asleep since last night. There were a few times when
she wanted to head to the scene. However, she was afraid Keegan would find out she was behind the incident if the
plan failed.
And so, she waited the entire night and got a call from Olivia, saying Keegan did not leave the room the entire
night. Dahlia became excited and thought it worked out, so she immediately told the media to head there.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Now, I just have to wait for the media to break the news and confirm that Keegan and Jaylene had slept with each
other,' thought Dahlia.
However, she waited until nearly eleven o'clock, and there was still no news. She felt a little anxious. She paced
back and forth in the living room with a frown.
Blake's wife-Kanara Kent-had just brought her child home from tutoring when she saw Dahlia pacing around the
living room. The leftover snacks and takeout box from last night were still lying on the table and had yet to be
cleaned by anyone.
She immediately felt a little disgruntled. After she sent her child upstairs, she walked up to Dahlia and said through
suppressed anger, "Dahlia, didn't I tell you to clean this up before I left? Why's it still the same as before?"
Dahlia looked down on her sister-in-law.
'If the Crosby family didn't fall, our family would never let Blake marry a lowly commoner like her. Being a penny-
pincher is one thing; recently, she's even been prodding Blake to kick me out. If I hadn't helped Blake over these
years, would they have been living this comfortably? However, I have no choice but to bow to them now that I'm
under their roof,' she thought.
Dahlia stuck her hand out and said, "I cut my finger when doing the dishes, so I can't get water on it. I'll let the
housemaid clean it up when she comes home."
Kanara almost laughed when she saw the cut on Dahlia's hand.
'Of course, you can't get water on it; what if you realize that it's recovered when you get water on it? Besides,
housemaids need vacation days too. Do we just stop living when the housemaid isn't around?' she thought.
"You can hire two housemaids and let them rotationally take leaves," Dahlia said.
'Two housemaids?'thought Kanara. She chuckled and glanced at Dahlia.
"Then, who's going to pay for the second housemaid? You?"
Dahlia frowned, "Didn't I give you all some money over New Year's? It's more than enough to hire another
housemaid, right?”
'Over the New Year's?' Kanara was amused.
"Why don't you mention the money you gave last year? Let me do the math for you. You gave Blake 200 thousand
dollars over New Year's, but your daughter called him during her graduation trip, and he transferred 50 thousand
dollars to her. Then, you invited those high-society ladies and friends during your birthday and got Blake to help you
book a restaurant. That cost 137 thousand dollars; you said you'd pay us the money when you've settled accounts.
It's been half a year, yet we still haven't seen a single penny. And your mother-in-law's birthday. You were worried
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe Crosby family wouldn't look grandeur enough and embarrass you, so you told us to prepare a more expensive
gift. We spent over 300 thousand dollars on buying her an antique painting. You also didn't pay us back the money
for this. When you came back a while ago, everything you ate and used was under our expenses. That collagen
drink you have every day costs a few hundred per serving, and you even have it twice a day. Your living expenses
for the past ten days are even higher than what our entire family spends in a month. Why don't you tell me where I
should get the money to hire this other housemaid?"
Dahlia's expression turned uglier as she listened to Kanara.
'Isn't it just money? The Kane family has plenty; you think I'm short of those peanuts?' she thought.
Kanara glanced at her, "The Kane family's money... Has nothing to do with you. You got chased out of the Kane
family. Are you still unaware of your own situation?"
Dahlia suddenly lost it. She raised her hand and slapped Kanara.
"Who do you think you are? Who are you to say this to me? Isn't every penny you spend in the Crosby family given
by me?’
Kanara was stunned by Dahlia's slap; she did not expect Dahlia to actually get physical. She could not help but start
fighting with Dahlia.
Kanara's family used to run a slaughterhouse, so she was extremely strong.
A privileged woman from high society, like Dahlia, was no match for Kanara. A few moments later, Dahlia was
pinned to the ground and got hit.
