Chapter 222 The Unspoken Truths

"Fourth Young Master!" Linet almost screamed, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at the man in front of her.

The instructions had been clear: stay away from the villa, confined to working within the estate grounds...

Had she essentially been reduced to a mere gardener, limited to tending flowers and plants?

Would she ever have another chance to be close to Robert?

She had stayed at Robert Manor as a maid, all for him.

For him, she willingly swallowed her pride and surrendered her dignity...

Yet over the years, he had barely spoken a few words to her, and now he was punishing her like this...

"Fourth Young Master, I was wrong..." Linet sniffled, her eyes reddening as if tears were about to overflow at any moment. "I shouldn’t have lied; I won't do it again..."

Robert turned his gaze away, refusing to look at her any longer.

"Leave," he commanded coldly, his lips barely moving.

"Fourth Young Master…" Linet's tears finally spilled over, streaming down her face.
