Chapter 16 A Video Call From Daniel’s Grandma
990 Words
"It's straightforward." Joyce shrugged, "these maids forced Daniel to choose between them and me. Of course, I choose to stay, and they should leave."
"This is nonsense..." Those maids wanted to refute. Mrs. Stowe Sr.'s looked at them sternly. They were too frightened to say a word.
"If they leave, who will take care of my grandson?" Mrs. Stowe Sr. continued.
"This is easy." Joyce smiled lightly. "Their salary is high enough. With this salary, any maid is willing to come. Besides, the new maids must be more dedicated."
"Miss Willard, don't go too far! Are you saying we are not doing our job?" The maid who took the lead growled.
Joyce blinked, and she looked at him innocently, "How can you guys take care of Daniel when you spend so much time dealing with me every day?"
Those maids suddenly turned pale. They were afraid of losing their job. As Joyce said, many people are willing to come with such a high salary. It's hard for them to find such a high-paying job again. They began to regret their resignation.
They tried to threaten Daniel and Joyce with their resignation. Now they realized this was utterly stupid!
Bob also began to panic. He initially thought that he was bound to win after contacting Mrs. Stowe Sr. He didn't expect Joyce to be so cunning as to turn her against these servants!
"Mrs. Stowe, It's hard to recruit so many maids in such a short period..." Bob said.
"Grandpa butler, you must have just arrived in Los Angeles, so you can't handle these things, right?" Joyce smiled slightly, and she said with an enthusiastic look, "Leave it to me. It won't take half an hour. New maids will be able to work!"
Bob was going to faint with anger. How did things turn out like this? Bob thought Joyce was too arrogant. He wanted to take this opportunity to let Mrs. Stowe Sr. know that she was a vicious woman. Maybe one day, Joyce might be thrown out.
But why is it all messed up?
These maids were all selected by him before. They were all listening to him. Now, are they all going to be fired? Did Joyce want to replace him in the future? If she recruited new maids, wouldn't there be no one to follow his orders? Bob was anxious about it.
"Mrs. Stowe, this woman is so scheming. She is not suitable to stay with the young master!" Bob said indignantly.
Mrs. Stowe Sr. didn't take a stand. Surprised, she looked at Joyce, "Why do you think I will listen to you?"
"It's simple." Joyce had a determined smile on her face. She stretched out her arm and took Daniel's shoulder the next moment, "Because Daniel is pleased with me."
Daniel's eyes moved slightly. He still looked innocent but nodded cooperatively.
Mrs. Stowe Sr. looked at Joyce's hand in surprise. She knew Daniel had a strange thing of cleanliness. But he was willing to let Joyce touch him. This Joyce's status in Daniel's heart is higher than she imagined.
"Okay. I agree with your decision." Mrs. Stowe Sr. said lightly. "In the future, you will have the final say in the villa."
What? Everyone in the living room was surprised!
They never thought that Mrs. Stowe Sr., who has always been intelligent and wise, agreed to Joyce so quickly!
"Mrs. Stowe ..." Bob returned to his senses and wanted to say something anxiously.
Mrs. Stowe Sr. said sternly, "Enough! Bob, if you feel uncomfortable in Los Angeles, I can transfer you to New York and find something else to do!"
Bob realized that Mrs. Stowe Sr. was angry. He could only give up no matter how unwilling he was.
At the end of the video communication, all the maids surrounded Joyce, apologizing with a smile on their faces.
"Madam, it was all misunderstandings. We were too impulsive. Please forgive us..."
"Sorry, madam... we will never dare again..."
Joyce smiled lightly. They now regretted it and wanted her to give them a chance?
Even if they called her madam, she wouldn't give them a chance. They might still have someone loyal to Bob. She was going to play her dream role soon. She didn't have time to tangle with them. The best way is to resign and replace them with someone she trusted.
"Don't worry, Everyone. Since Mrs. Stowe agrees with me, she will not retaliate against you. You can leave without worrying." Joyce said with a serious face.
Everyone was helpless. They didn't know what to do. Joyce made it clear that she did not intend to keep them. They all looked at Bob pleadingly.
Bob was angry. He said with a bit of a threat, "Miss Willard, you are so excessive! You will be punished!"
Joyce smiled sarcastically, "Grandpa butler, you're still threatening me now? Don't you know why Mrs. Stowe is on my side? Think about what she asked you to do in Los Angeles!" After saying this, Joyce pushed Daniel's wheelchair and walked toward the elevator.
Bob stood there in a daze, his face inexplicably pale. Joyce's words made him suddenly understand why he lost.
Mrs. Stowe Sr. sent Daniel to Los Angeles because she didn't think he would recover from his illness. She just wanted her grandson to be safe and happy.
As for today's collective resignation incident, Mrs. Stowe Sr. didn't care about who was right. All she thought was that Bob hadn't dealt with these things well, which annoyed Daniel. Mrs. Stowe Sr. was warning Bob this time. It wouldn't be just a warning if he did anything more than that.
Bob was angry and helpless. He decided to keep a low profile during this time.
Back in the bedroom, Joyce stretched. She threw her phone on the table, "I'll take a shower first. I'm almost exhausted..."
She walked into the bathroom, and the sound of water flowing came out.
