I turned around and saw that Alfred and several household helpers were too scared to look at the corpse. let alone clean it up
One of the maids asked, “Alfred, what should we do? m too scared to touch it.
Alfred sighed, removed his white gloves, and threw them onto the ground I quit. Take care
When he said that, the others also decided to leave.
After all, there was a corpse lying here. They were only household helpers, not forensics. Disposing of a corpse was not within their job scope. Besides, many of them had just seen my corpse.
The psychological trauma was not something that could be compensated by money. Even if they wer offered more money, they did not want to stay.
“I quit tool Having a corpse in the house is so scary!”
“Yeah! He could even kill his own daughter. I’m too scared to stay here!”
All the household helpers present chose to quit. They removed their gloves and aprons as they strode out of the place. Alfred was the last to leave. He had worked here for many years, after all
A young man whispered, “Alfred, should we call the police? We can’t just leave the corpse here.”
Alfred glanced at him and said earnestly, “Don’t get yourself into trouble if you still want to stay in this line of work.”
The man nodded. “Okay, got it. Ms. Xavier is so pitiful. How did she end up with such a father?”
With so many people gone, the villa instantly felt empty.
When my father got home, he called out three times, but no one answered.
Rosie eventually came out holding a glass of water. “Mr. Xavier, all the household helpers have left.”
My father was stunned to hear that. He was somewhat in disbelief. “Did all of them leave?”
“They insisted on quitting after seeing what was in the garage. We don’t have someone to cook for us now,” Rosie answered.
“Blake! It’s Blake’s doings again! She won’t be satisfied until she tears this family apart. That little bastard, she’s really pissing me off.”
Watching my father’s fury, I laughed. Who would have thought that I could still do the things he was accusing me of after being dead for so many days?
Не
e took out his phone to call me. He called five times in a row, but no one picked up. He became angrier and started cursing at the air,
I was already dead, but I could not avoid feeling a pang of pain in my heart as I wondered if souls could feel heartache too.
I was already dead. If my father just looked a little closer at the corpse in the trunk, he would see that it
was me.

Chapter 5
In his opinion, maybe I was no longer the obedient daughter I once was.
When Queenie first joined our family, I tried to understand my father even though it had only been a year after my mother passed away. After all, no one would dwell on past sorrows forever.
I also wanted to see Queenie as a family, but then I realized she wanted to take over my mother’s place in
this family.
One day, she suddenly found a scarf and wrapped it around her neck. She maliciously asked me if it looked good. The scarf was the one my mother knitted and gave to my father. Yet she had wrapped it around her neck.
It was the first time I got mad at Queenle. I rushed forward to yank the scarf off her and called her a bitch who was trying to take over my mother’s place.
I thought my father would side with me, but all I received was a loud slap. He said in a dismissive tone,” Isn’t it just a scarf? Queenie can wear it if she wants. How dare you be disrespectful to your elders?”
At that moment, I suddenly understood the saying I had seen online, “With a stepmother comès a stepfather“.
That day, I gathered all of my mother’s belongings and took them away. Even if her husband had forgotten her, at least I had not. Even if no one else in the world remembered her, I would.
“Now that there’s no one left at home to serve us, let’s go on vacation to celebrate your mom’s pregnancy. We can also use this period to hire some new people,” my father said after he calmed down. Queenie and Rosie agreed and happily went upstairs to pack their bags.
