Bella put the communication device back into the pocket of her maid uniform and tidied up her clothes.
She stood up and glanced at the large amount of documents on the table in front of her. Then she pushed the chair away and walked out of the room.
Thump, thump, thump …
Bella's leather high-heeled boots stepped on the corridor. The sound was crisp and the interval was the same, making people feel that her appearance and her voice were the same.
Her dark gray hair was neatly tied up, and she wore a white lace headscarf. She wore a very traditional black dress with a neatly ironed white collar and sleeves, and a white apron with lace edges as well.
His deep facial features were accentuated by his stern expression, and his slightly high cheekbones gave him an even more domineering temperament.
She was a dutiful, capable, reliable, and somewhat unreasonable head maid.
In fact, her status was far more than a maid. After serving the Chapman family for three generations, she was already an inseparable part of the family's "property."
This long-established family believed in nature. It was one of the oldest Druid families and one of the major shareholders of the Elm Tree Chamber of Commerce.
Cherry Chapman, her current master, was the most competitive heir of the family and one of the three branch presidents of the Elm Tree Chamber of Commerce.
No one knew how she had turned from a mixed-blood illegitimate child into a powerful figure with countless fans in just three years. Remember: http://m.9biquge.com
Many people said that she had the power to control people's souls through verbal communication. Therefore, she was called the "Witch of Chapman."
But Bella, who had personally brought Cherry back to the Chapman family as her most trusted assistant and maid, and who had watched her grow up, certainly knew the hidden secret.
She had even just spoken to that "secret."
Knock, knock.
Bella stood straight and knocked on the door of the most distinguished master in the house. Then she folded her hands on her belly and waited respectfully.
Soon, a young voice came from the room, sounding sleepy and confused. "Bella? Come in … What's the matter? "
Creak —
Bella gently opened the door and walked in through the thin and invisible aether defense membrane.
There was plenty of space in the spacious bedroom. The soft bed was covered with various pillows, and gorgeous woven curtains were hanging down. The coffee table and sofa were placed on the white wool carpet, and the Chapman family emblem was hanging on the wall in pure silver.
The girl who was sitting up on her bed … no, perhaps she could be called a young girl.
She looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, young and beautiful. She had short, snow-white hair, including her eyelashes and eyebrows. Her silver eyes were like gems, flowing with a hazy and mysterious luster, forming a sharp contrast with her delicate dark skin.
Cherry Chapman was a hybrid of a human, a Druid, and a Night Elf. Although she looked like a little girl, she was actually over a hundred years old.
It was obvious that she was not awake yet.
Chapman's witch rubbed her eyes with her small hands, yawned, and sat on the edge of the bed. Her two legs dangled, and her toes could not even touch the ground.
She was only wearing a thin white spaghetti strap nightgown, revealing her delicate collarbone and steel-like figure. She looked particularly petite in the soft and fluffy pillows.
Bella took two steps forward, lifted the hem of her dress, and bowed. "Good night, my master."
Cherry puffed out her cheeks. "I'm not feeling well at all. I just want to sleep."
"Then I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight." Bella straightened up, handed over the communication device, and said, "I'm reporting to you about Mr. Lin's call record."
"What …"
Cherry was stunned. She looked at the head maid's serious eyes, then suddenly jumped off the bed, and screamed, "He contacted me!!!"
The girl lay down on the bed again, and plunged into the pillows. She rolled left and right, hugging one of the pillows, and screamed silently with a red face. She bit the corner of the pillow and murmured, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin."
Bella's eyes were solemn, and she maintained an elegant posture, looking at her young master who was holding her face in a daze.
Forgive me for being blunt, but you look like a little girl who has just fallen in love and received a call from the person you like for the first time. You don't look like a person in power.
— — As a professional maid, of course, she wouldn't say that out loud.
After Cherry calmed down, she sat up with an expressionless face. She reached out her hand to take the communication device. While checking, she said faintly, "What did he say to you?"
Unfortunately, a few strands of hair on her head, which had been ravaged, betrayed her.
Bella said, "Mr. Lin wants us to fake the identity of a girl he has just taken in. According to my investigation and the information Mr. Lin has provided, this girl could be related to the invasion of the dream beasts in Nuo Jin, and the attack on the Truth Society's Mechanical Transmigration. We need to send someone to investigate to know the details."
Cherry's eyes suddenly changed. She looked at the communication device in her hand. "Girl …"
Isn't there something wrong with what you're focusing on?
Bella continued, "Please forgive me. I just sent a request to Mr. Lin without permission."
Cherry looked at her, her facade of expressionless face instantly cracked. She cried out again and held the communication device helplessly. "You, you, you, how could you do that? You, you, you have overstepped this time. I, I, I, I …"
Cherry's voice became softer, her eyes drifting. She whispered, "Did he agree?"
Bella smiled. "He agreed, and said that he would welcome you."
"Ah!"
Chapman's witch clutched her chest, as if she had been shot by a demon hunter. She lay on the bed, panting, and looked at the ceiling.
"Mr. Lin's request must be fulfilled. Gather all the information that has happened in Nuo Jin and give it to me. When the auction is over and the business of the Chamber of Commerce is settled, I will arrange a time to visit Mr. Lin."
She narrowed her eyes and said, "Also, Congreve has been too close to the light wizards recently."
"Yes, I will send someone to investigate. You don't need to worry too much. His little tricks won't affect your position as the successor."
"Caution is the parent of safety. This is what Mr. Lin taught me."
Cherry smiled and then sighed. "It's been three years …"
Bella took the communication device and also remembered that three years ago, when she had picked up Cherry, who had "run away from home" from that shabby bookstore, the girl had looked at the owner of the bookstore with eyes full of light.
Previously, she didn't know why Cherry had such an expression.
But three years later, she could not help but be shocked by the power and terror of that ordinary-looking man. The more she thought about it, the more she felt her soul tremble.

Colin shivered and looked at the wall in front of him with a face full of fear. It was as if he could see through the wall and see the scene in the bookstore next door.
The sharp sound of an electric saw came through the wall, as if it was very close.
He could almost imagine that the sharp teeth of the saw were shining with cold light, spinning at high speed and throwing out blood, flesh, and translucent glands, covering the whole wall in a mess.
Fresh blood flowed down the uneven walls, dripping into puddles.
The electric saw was getting closer and closer, and was almost in front of his eyes.
"Wuwuwu … Mommy … save me …"
Colin did not dare to turn off the TV next to him, as if the noisy voices were his last courage.
He was trembling with tears and snot running down his face, curling up into a ball. When he saw the screen of his second-hand communication device lit up, he hurriedly rolled and crawled with both hands.
"Listen to the moon, the moon will give you mercy and peace."
"Your prayer has been accepted by the Dome Church. I will go and investigate. During this time, do not act rashly.
