Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

A black long-haired beautiful middle-aged woman sat at the dining, eating her meal alone, while a nearby maid stood far behind her in wait.

"You there! Come pour this for me now!"

"Ye-yes, madam," the maid responded in a quivering tone.

"A bunch of ease! What are my sister and brother-in-law paying you if you can\'t do a simple job? You better not spill a drop on me with those hands alone. Do you know how much my entire attire is worth?"

Like a machine gun, the lady spewed arrogant words at the maid, causing the poor thing to tremble even though she was terrified of this madam.

It wasn\'t just her but everyone who had worked in the Ingard estate for the longest.

You have to know that their employers, Zee Ingard and Lishu, treated them respectfully despite their positions as maids and butlers.

But whenever this hurricane disaster came waltzing in, she would pace like she was the owner of the place.

She acted as though everything should be hers. She barked here, gave orders there, and often caused trouble for them, the regular workers.

And if any maid were prettier than her, she would find a way to frame them or make her sister, the real madam of the house, to send them away.

Before, they thought she was looking out for Madam\'s interest.

But after the whole situation with Cang Ingard, the guards, main butlers, and maids in the room during that time understood where her hatred came from.

Jealousy!

A week and a half ago, she finalized her divorce, leaving full custody of her children to her husband.

She was supposed to be on her vacation, enjoying her newfound freedom. But suddenly rushed back.

As for her children…

In public, she acted like a loving mother. And even if it felt forceful, people would still be willing to believe a mother would not eat her cub.

However, because of the blood relationship between the arrogant woman and the madam, both households were fairly close.

So they heard about her true nature from the maids working under her about how she treated her children like tickets to fame and fortune.

If they seconded the children of her enemies, she would lash out at them, calling them useless and sometimes locking them up to study more.

As a businessman always traveling weekly, her now ex-husband was hardly at home, leaving management to her.

So one can imagine how much went by behind closed doors.

She wanted them to be better than everyone, especially Cang Ingard, Lishu\'s son.

Many who watched Dorian in action and listened to his words that day realized that this woman never loved her husband.

She was only divorcing now because she was confident the young master and the madam would die, giving her a chance to become the real Madam Ingard!

The revelation chilled many, making them even more fearful of this murderer who worked with such evil forces in the dark.

The maid serving her was in fact, the head maid who was present that day.

She, the head maid, had never flinched in the presence of her arrogance before. But now, she was shaking like a leaf, secretly hoping this dark-hearted woman would-be curse her in some way.

The head maid and those who watched the scene that day had sworn never to let word out to the rest working in the estate. Or if this woman gets to know they uncovered her secret, their master and madam might not have a chance to apprehend the woman.

If the snake is startled, what if it flees using supernatural means during this time they waited for the Grandmaster to arrive?

The corners of Langshu\'s mouth went up.

Tapping her lips with her napkin, she turned to the quivering maid. "Where did you say my sister and brother Ze-... My brother-in-law went?"

"Madam, they were headed out for a joint business meeting and should be back soon."

Langshu strangled the napkin in her palms with jealousy.

Joint business meeting?

What right does Lishu have to be seen everywhere with her brother Zee?

It\'s not enough that brother Zee had already opened a boutique and a spa salon in Lishu\'s name. But now, he was once again planning to spend such heavy amounts on that old bag?

You have to know that Lishu was just 2 years older than Langshu. Yet, her sister called her an old bag.

All this time, Langshu still didn\'t believe Lishu did her business on her own.

This was the difference between the 2 sisters.

When Lishu first got married, she began receiving her monthly expenses as the Ingard madam married to the current heir.

So she had a fixed monthly salary to run the entire estate. Whatever was left was also hers

This was how she was tested too.

In the beginning, many did look down on Lishu because she didn\'t come from high society. She was an ordinary student with excellent grades.

She and Zee Ingard fell in love during their school days. So one could imagine how hard she worked to Prove herself during those times.

Of course, to run an estate was akin to running a business.

So there were already account managers, and many assigned to these tasks.

Lishu was more like the final decision maker, deciding what to do with the money once it was budgeted.

For example, now and then, the Ingards buy tons and tons of flowers, replace their furniture, paintings, and many other duties to show off their status and wealth.

If Lishu had decided to sneakily buy fake paintings, mess up in their areas or even go over the budget without a reasonable explanation, many would only

After all, if she messed up or went overboard, her monthly expenses would be taken out to make up for her mistakes. That has always been the rule.

In the end, she did a good job, saved up quite a lot of money, and ventured out on her own to open her clothing boutique, spa salon, and even bought several properties too!

But till this day, Langshu didn\'t believe it.

You have to know that even when Lishu was saving up money, she still gave 15~35% of her monthly wage to her dear sister.

But what did Langshu do? She squandered it all on expensive shoes, bags, and the good life, always seeing Lishu has a money bank.

So to Langshu, it must have been Zee who bought these properties and gifted them to Lishu.

Langhsu\'s face turned distorted, thinking that all this should have been hers!!!

\'Why? Am I not younger and beautiful too? Why does that vixen always have brother Zee wrapped around her fingers?\'

Her rage only hardened her heart to do the deed.

\'After this, they will be dead, right?\'

[Naturally...]

A strange eerie voice whispered in her mind.

Even now, Langshu still had chills whenever the voice spoke out.

As for how she came into contact with the strange being, it was a whole other story that not only terrified her to death but also caused her to faint for an entire day.

First, she was in disbelief that the supernatural existed. However, when it spoke of fulfilling any wish she desired, the greed grew far stronger than her fear.

She took this situation similar to a fictional genie granted 3 wishes.

After all, the being didn\'t want anything from here. All it desired was for her to keep it by herself always.

So wasn\'t this a genie?

Even if it wanted something from her, she would still give it with open arms if it meant her dreams would be fulfilled.

Zee Ingard... She wanted him... She has always wanted him from the first day she saw how well he treated her sister.

Unlike many rich high society men who still went out to cheat on their wives, Zee was one of those who stayed faithful. There has never been a scandal, and the pair of husband and wife were practically everywhere together all the time.

They were only separate if Zee had to stay in the office.

Even during business trips abroad, he would take his wife along, leaving his son to the butlers, guards, and servants.

There were even times when Lishu would pick him up after work or bring him lunch too.

So who wouldn\'t want such a good husband?

Langshu knew Zee was bewitched by her sister too much. So unless the b**ch were dead, she would never have her way!

"And where is my young nephew? Since I came this morning, I haven\'t seen him yet, " Langshu asked intuitively. She and the voice in her head had come to find out what went wrong!

"Madam..." The old maid was trembling now. Was Langshu thinking of finishing off the young master since their plans had failed?

Everyone was still to keep the young master away from this witch.

What should she do? What should she do?

For a moment, the old maid didn\'t know how to respond. Luckily, 2 guards walked into the dining hall just in time.

"The master and the madam are back!"
