The owner studied my expression and added, "There's one more thing. There was a maid in Ethan's house named Zoey. She tried to climb the social ladder and snatched the position of personal maid. But the first day she was asked to do food tasting, she was poisoned. I heard she was in the hospital for three days and three nights. Later, Ethan gave her a hard time every day. She couldn't take it and got involved with a guard. Ethan caught them, and Alpha James was furious and kicked her out of the villa."
My grip tightened on the shears. Zoey had been cast out. I couldn't say I was happy, nor could I say I felt sorry for her. She thought she was seizing a golden opportunity, when in reality, she was living on the edge.
The owner saw my silence and asked, "Did you know her?"
I shook my head
