The maid's eyes widened in sheer terror as reality set in. "Master! No! Master, please, you have to forgive me! I was wrong!"
"Drag her out of my sight." Jiang Lukang commanded, his gaze flicking toward the guards.
Butler Jun immediately signalled to two sturdy servants standing by the doorway to drag the sobbing maid out.
No matter how much the maid wailed, clawed desperately at the floor, or begged for a second chance, her pleas were entirely ignored as she was forcibly dragged away into the dark hallway, her cries fading into the distance.
The formal dining room fell into a heavy, oppressive silence once again.
Jiang Lukang took a long, stabilising breath before finally turning his sharp attention back to Qiao Meixia.
