The Billionaire Who Saved Me

It was a peaceful morning. Elice, feeling refreshed, decided to work. Garrett did not mind, but he made sure to remind Elice not to push herself too hard.

With Elice and Garrett out of the house, only Norah, Wilda and Farrah remained. Three middle-aged women who could never sit together for long. So, it was not surprising when Farrah soon appeared, leaving Norah and Wilda behind.

Alone, Farrah did not seem like her usual self at that moment. Something was on her mind, and Farrah knew exactly what it was.

“What am I going to do? Elice and Garrett clearly suspect me.”

Farrah should not be surprised that Elice and Garrett suspected her. She could not keep a straight face in front of them. Besides, her high ego often caused her to lose control, sometimes unconsciously expressing sarcastic remarks or attitudes.

“I’m sure Teddy can handle Elice. But I need to know what’s going on in this house. And after Yocelyn failed, who else can I trust?”

Farrah walked slowly, trying to find a way out. She made her way to the side terrace and stopped there. The sight of the neatly manicured garden caught her attention. And that’s when Farrah heard a faint sob that caught her attention.

“I’ll try, mom. But I can’t promise.”

Farrah frowned and tried to locate the source of the voice, finding it behind the wall. A young maid seemed to be on the phone, tears streaming down her face.

“Forgive me, mom. It’s not that I don’t want to help. But Robert’s tuition is not small. And the lady of the house where I work has just died. I don’t know who I can borrow money from.”

Farrah remained silent. Standing still, she no longer paid attention to the conversation. For an idea flashed through her mind.

The maid ended the call, put her phone in her pocket, and then tried to stop her tears. She wiped her wet cheeks and turned around. The maid was about to leave and certainly had not expected to find Farrah there. She went pale and immediately bowed, trembling.

“Sorry, ma’am. I promise not to use my phone at work.”

Farrah grinned. She did not care. Instead, she was focused on something else. “What’s your name?”

“Thea, ma’am. Thea Graham.”

Farrah stepped forward, closing the distance between her and Thea. Then she raised Thea’s chin with her index finger.

“Do you need money?”

Thea’s still misty eyes blinked once. There was a hint of confusion in them. But she nodded. And that made Farrah smile.

Because a short time later Farrah invited Thea to her room. In short, she offered Thea a deal. With a large sum of money and a task for Thea that was incredibly simple.

“Put this in Garrett’s bedroom and office. Hide it where no one will find it,” Farrah said, handing the bug to Thea. “Do you understand?”

There was turmoil in Thea’s eyes. But eventually the young girl closed her eyes, nodded, and took the object.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

As Thea left her room, Farrah felt a weight lift from her shoulders. She felt relieved now. No matter where she was, Farrah could still monitor the couple’s activities.

“How did it go?”

About half an hour later, Thea returned to Farrah’s room to report on the task she had completed.

Thea nodded. “It’s done, ma’am.”

“No one saw you, did they?”

“No, ma’am. No one saw me,” Thea replied. “Today happened to be my day to clean the rooms on the second floor. So, no one would suspect.”

“That’s good then.”

A victorious smile spread across Farrah’s face. And Thea’s as well. Soon after, Thea found an envelope floating toward her. She immediately grabbed the envelope of money.

“This is the money for your brother’s tuition. And remember, don’t let anyone else know about this. Do not even think about telling anyone. Do you understand?”

“I understand, ma’am,” Thea nodded, her eyes immediately filled with tears. “Thank you, ma’am.”

“That’s good, then. You may go.”

And after Thea left her room, Farrah felt a real relief in her chest.

“I’m sure Elice and Garrett have already anticipated my presence here. But that’s okay.”

A broad smile appeared on Farrah’s face. Widening. Widening even more. Until the smile turned into a grin.

“Now I just have to get out of here. And come back at the right time. When this house will be mine by right.”

That’s what Farrah thought. And she did not hesitate to express her intentions to the whole family during dinner.

“I will leave tomorrow.”

Farrah’s words immediately caught everyone’s attention. Not to exaggerate, but really, Farrah’s every word and action always managed to create an uncomfortable atmosphere. And Farrah ignored it as if nothing had happened.

“Anyway, I have a family to take care of,” Farrah continued, enjoying her dinner. “And besides, things seem to be getting better around here.”

No one reacted to Farrah’s words. But that did not mean Farrah would stop pretending. This time she lifted her head and looked at Elice. She smiled.

“But, Elice. If you ever need anything… don’t hesitate to contact Auntie.”

Elice returned the smile with an almost similar one. She nodded. “Thank you, Auntie. I’ll always remember you.”

And the next day, Farrah did indeed leave the Morales home. Just as she had said, right after Elice and Garrett left for the office.

But something strange happened. Because after the car with Farrah left the Morales’ house and drove away, another car appeared and drove through the front gate.

It was Garrett’s car. Contrary to what was said, he did not actually go to the office. Instead, he parked across the street, waited for Farrah to leave, and then returned home.

Garrett got out of the car and walked into his house with great strides. He found a maid waiting for him.

” Thea.”

Thea nodded politely to Garrett. “Yes, sir.”

“How did it go?”

“Exactly as you instructed, sir.”
