Chapter 66 A Trap

Mandy haughtily crossed her arms over her chest and sneered at Terence. "I am telling you the truth.
They were kind to Jean at first, but they suddenly changed after Julia visited. When they were younger,
Julia always bullied Jean. That's why I am very protective over Jean. Although you were engaged to
Jean, Julia was the one who married you. I can't stand to see Jean get hurt anymore. That was why I
decided to hold the press conference."

"You mean to say they changed their attitudes after Julia came?" Terence silently frowned. He knew
that Julia maintained a good relationship with Sherry and the other maids. They always listened to
whatever she instructed them to do. Everything suddenly made sense to him.

Terence pursed his lips and looked at Jean. "Is it true?"

Jean just stared at him without saying anything. Terence bit his cheek, an anxious expression on his
face. "Please don't be afraid to speak. Is it true?"

She broke eye contact with him and hesitated for a while. After taking a deep breath, she sighed, "I
recall that it started after she visited."

"When did Julia come over?" Terence grimaced and thought, 'Julia is always following me around like a
ghost. We've signed the divorce agreement, yet she still shamelessly comes here to make trouble.

She should be grateful that Jean is a kind person. She never spoke ill of her sister and even helped her
a lot.'

People like Julia do not deserve sympathy at all.

"I think... it was after the press conference." Jean bowed her head and recalled the memory of when it
happened.

Mandy nodded and commented, "Yes, it was at that time."



She looked at Terence and continued, "Don't get me wrong, Julia is also my daughter. I shouldn't have
spoken ill about her like that. But she has never behaved, and now she's caused so much trouble for
Jean. I would really like to thank you for helping my younger daughter, but I want her to move out. I
can't just watch Jean continually get hurt."

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jean gazed at her mother in disbelief. "What does this
have to do with Terence?"

"You are right, Mrs. Gu. I'll look into this matter." Terence said with a frown. "If it's true, then I certainly
can't just let this go."

"Why do we still need to investigate?" Mandy arched her eyebrow. "The facts are already in front of us."

"Mom..." Jean gestured for Mandy to stop talking. "If Terence wants to investigate, just let him do so."

Stealthily, Jean winked at Mandy, to make her understand what she was doing. Seeing that this was all
just for a show, Mandy turned to Terence. "Since you want to investigate, I saw Julia arrive here after
the press conference. Before she left, she had a long conversation with Sherry in the garden. Ever
since then, the servants were rude towards Jean. She even lost her watch. Even though it wasn't that
expensive, it was sentimental for her because it was a gift from her father."

"You mean... one of the servants stole your watch?" Terence scoffed, he couldn't believe what Mandy
was saying.

"I didn't say that." Mandy scrunched her brows. "We have yet to find out whether someone stole it or
not. We still have to investigate."

Terence scowled. If things were really like how Mandy described them to be, then he wouldn't want the
servants to stay any longer. However, he was also afraid that he did them wrong. He was in a dilemma.



While Terence was at a loss for words, he overheard Sherry and other maids arriving back home.
When they saw Terence, they were naturally eager to greet him. However, when they saw his face,
they felt the atmosphere change.

Sherry was the boldest among them all. She politely looked at Terence and asked, "What happened,
Mr. Chen?"

"How dare you even ask such a question!" Mandy arrogantly snarled at to Sherry. "My daughter lost her
watch and you are the only ones in the house. So tell me, who took it?"

"A lost watch?" Sherry had a puzzled expression on her face. Behind her, the other servants started
whispering and Tracy frowned in confusion. Although they came from a lower background, they would
never do such a thing.

Sherry looked at Jean and saw a small smile on her face. In her mind, Sherry knew that she was the
target of this charade.

"Mrs. Gu, what do you mean?" Sherry asked and tightly knitted her eyebrows. "Are you saying that one
of us stole Miss Gu's watch?"

"If it was not you, then who else could it be?" Mandy spat angrily, she was losing her temper. "There
are only a few people living in this house and you clean Jean's room every day. You are the only ones
who have access to her belongings. If you don't admit it, then I will be forced to teach you a lesson."

"Miss Gu, we will never do this. Please trust us," Tracy cried out to Jean in a pleading manner.

"Mr. Chen, do you really think we took it?" Sherry looked at Terence. Deep inside, she knew that this
was all happening because of Jean. She really hoped that her boss would come to their rescue.



Terence just sat on the sofa and looked at his employees. "If you didn't do that, I will ask Jean and her
mom to apologize to you.

Why don't we search for it? That's fairest option."

Sherry gave a cold smile and prepared for the worst. She finally realized why Jean wanted her to go
out today. It was all part of her plan. As they searched, she figured that the watch had been planted in
her room. She was right. After a while, Mandy emerged out of her bedroom and held out the watch.

With a sneer, Mandy raised the stolen watch and narrowed her eyes at Sherry. "Do you have anything
else to say?"

Sherry caught a glimpse of the smirk Jean's face.

She walked up to Mandy and sneered, "He who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find his
stick."
