Chapter 136: What is Mason Nightshade Up to?



Aurelia Shaw scrutinized the face before her closely. The corners of the eyes bore many wrinkles, yet the complexion was serene, with no sign of murkiness in the eyes, exuding a warmth that softened one's heart.

It had been years since she'd seen such a calm and uncalculating ordinary face.

"I've never seen you in this house before," Aurelia said. Although her mind was sometimes muddled, making it hard to recall certain things, she remembered clearly what every servant in this house looked like.

The housekeeper bent slightly and smiled as she said, "Young Madam, I just arrived here yesterday, so it's normal you haven't seen me."

Upon hearing this, Aurelia frowned, and her voice turned cold. Curling her lips, she sneered, "Sent by Sophie Nye? Or who else sent you here?"

"Young Madam, although I don't quite understand what you mean, no one sent me. Mason contacted me half a month ago, wanting me to work here. However, I was working as a housekeeper for another family at that time, and the handover was a bit tricky, which is why it took until now for me to come," the housekeeper explained. "I heard that everyone else arrived just recently. Mason meticulously investigated each person's character and background before allowing them into this house. He truly put in the effort."

Half a month ago... What does Mason Nightshade mean by this?

Does he want to drive out Sophie's people and replace them with his own?

Aurelia bit her finger, pondering: Has Mason discovered something peculiar? Half a month ago... so early; unlikely. Then why suddenly implant his own people? Is it to monitor her?

Aurelia contemplated deeply and glanced up to appraise the housekeeper once more. Her amiable smile and kind demeanor made it difficult for Aurelia to think beyond.

She scooped a spoonful of porridge, brought it to her lips, and tasted it.

The porridge was surprisingly tasty, with a subtle sweetness that was her favorite.

What's Mason Nightshade up to? Better observe first. At least, the meal made by this servant suits her palate well.

"How should I address you in the future?"

"Just call me the housekeeper, Young Madam. Everyone has always called me that, and it sounds friendly," she replied with a smile, wiping her hands on her apron. She added, "Do you really like this porridge, Young Madam? There's more in the kitchen, and I can get you another bowl. In the future, I'll make a bowl every morning for you. If you get tired of it, I'll change it up."

The housekeeper spoke quite amusingly. Who waits for someone to tire of food before changing it? Don't most housekeepers prepare something different every day to please their employers?

After finishing breakfast, Aurelia stretched her body in the yard and then lounged lazily on a deck chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun.

She noticed that all the servants in the house had been replaced; no matter the position, they were all unfamiliar faces. Is Mason Nightshade finally fed up with Sophie's surveillance and wants to keep this house under his direct control?

However, this point also made her a bit anxious.

The reason Mason had tolerated Sophie arranging people in here before was that he didn't live in this house. But now, he's going through the trouble of overhauling from top to bottom and has thoroughly investigated everyone's background. Does he plan to move back in?

Aurelia didn't know if Mason had another residence outside. She thought, is it possible he sleeps at the company all week if he doesn't have another place?
