Arresting Madam May (2)

''Y-Young miss…'' Madam looked dumbfounded at what was happening at the moment. What was so funny that her young miss could laugh in this situation?

It wasn't only her, but everyone in the visitor's lounge thought the same. Why was Ayana laughing so much?

'Did she go crazy from the betrayal?' Arabella suddenly wondered, and then recalled how Ayana had been quite close to Madam May in the past.

Ayana did not care about the reactions of others, and laughed to her heart's content. She laughed so hard to the point that her eyes became misty with tears.

''Young miss…'' Nanny Hilda's heart couldn't handle that her young miss was laughing like a crazy person any longer.

Though for some reason, she had a feeling that her young miss was actually not laughing because of her amusement.

Rather, her young miss seemed to be crying. Which was strange as everyone plus herself could see and hear her young miss's laughter.

Nanny Hilda's thoughts were in line with Ayana's reason for her sudden laughter.

Deep down from the bottom of her her heart, Ayana knew that this wasn't purely laughter from herself. It was her tears. Her way of coping at the moment, because of how in a matter of minutes, she turned the whole situation to be advantageous towards her and Jason.

At the moment, Ayana couldn't help but wonder what if.

She knew that it was no use thinking about her past life that had already happened. There was a reason it was called a past life.

However, that did not stop the thought what if….

What If she had been a little smarter in her past life, wouldn't she have saved herself and Jason from the schemes of her enemies? What if she had been a little cautious to notice something amiss, wouldn't she have tried to plan ahead of her enemies?

Look at this situation right now. Madam May who had done nothing in her past life was here pleading for forgiveness.

Even if she and Jason had not saved their inheritance from falling into the hands of another back then, at least they would have remained in the land of the living and not the dead.

''You…'' Her laughter finally settled somewhat, and she wiped her brimming tears with her fingers. She then fixed her misty gaze on the kneeling figure.

''You want me to spare you, Madam May?'' Her voice was a bit hoarse from the laughter as she wiped her tears with her fingers.

Had she heard correctly?

This woman wanted forgiveness?

When the damage had already been done?

Could someone be this shameless in a situation like this?

''Y-Yes young miss!'' Though she did not understand what was happening right now, Madam May was glad to hear those words. All in all, things were finally leaning in her favor.

'Finally!' Her eyes lit up with confidence.

''Then, why don't you die here right now, Madam May?" However, these set of words were bound to disappoint the former housekeeper.

''Yes?'' Madam May's heart froze as she looked up confused by her young miss's words.

Did her young miss just say she must die…right now?!

As though hearing Madam May's thoughts, Ayana continued. ''I have thought about what could make me spare you, and the only way is for you to die, Madam May.''

''Y-Young miss….''

''My mother died from a car accident alongside my father. Who knows if the drug you had fed her with must have affected her somehow? In the end, the only way for me to spare your betrayal is death, Madam May.'' Ayana ignored how the color drained from Madam May's face, and then smiled slightly. ''Don't you think your death would pay the generosity that my late mother and the Kingston family have given to you and your family?''

''A-Ah….''

''If you don't want that, then one of your children can make me spare your betrayal. You only need to cripple one of them since that drug had affected Jason's growth.'' Ayana was quite wicked to have given Madam May a dash of hope, then quench it by making a suggestion worse than the first one.

''Choose wisely, Madam May.'' Ayana 'kindly' reminded as she watched the figure trembling in horror on the ground.

Someone like Madam May would never feel grateful no matter what anyone did for her.

Her late parents had given Madam May and her family a chance to live well. She had even given Madam May another chance of living by handing out a letter of recommendation to work as a housekeeper for another family.

That way, Madam could still pay off her debt since that was what provoked the betrayal in the first place.

Yet, the woman had repaid her late parents' kindness with betrayal, and also repaid her by demanding for her job back through her uncle and his family.

Ayana was no fool to take back someone who carried a sense of entitlement, thinking the entire world owed them for their bad life.

''Young miss.'' Ayana raised her gaze to the sight of Sam and his men barging into the visitor lounge with their huge figures and intimidating suits.

'Right on time.' Her lips curled up slightly and she glanced to the side where Paige was now standing beside her Nanny. She didn't know when the lady had walked in, but she guessed that her new housekeeper must have completed her assignment.

Ayana had been worried that her plans would be for naught, and was already thinking of another, but choosing Paige as her person was worth the wait.

On the other hand, Madam May panicked when she sensed the intimidating presence of the bodyguards behind her. It didn't take a second to guess that she would be dragged away out of the Kingston family forever.

''Young miss, you have to believe me! The Eldest young master had threatened the safety of my family if I hadn't poisoned the late Madam!'' Instantly, her mind clicked to the only thing that she could do at the moment.

That was to beg.

Beg as the life of herself and her family depended on it!

''Young miss….''

''So the evidence provided were not needed for further investigation, seeing that you have confessed the crimes yourself.'' A new voice overwhelmed Madam May's shaky voice and all except her watched as Sam turned over the screen of a tablet to face them.

Ayana instantly recognized the two faces on the screen. A man and woman on the screen, both wearing glasses that even the screen could not hide the air of their professionalism.

They were Attorneys of her late parents.
