novelxo Chapter 1267 We All Have Our Tactics
Seeing the video, Amanda shut her eyes, feeling the weight of the mess they were in.
Joe hit the ground, totally wrecked, mumbling, "No wonder Sadie was all fired up at night, so different from the day... turns out..."
"Last time at Grapetown Heights, I crashed on the couch, and later, someone moved me to the bed. The marks on my body..." Sadie shot a look at Barbara and sneered, "Were they from you?"
"No way!" Amanda cut in, giving Barbara a knowing look. "Even if it was her those two times, it definitely wasn't at Grapetown Heights. We all saw you with Joe." Barbara hung her head, too scared to say a word.
"I've got more proof," Sadie said, cool as a cucumber. "Last time at Grapetown Heights, after I dozed off, you stashed me in the closet. Your toenail hit the closet, and the red nail polish got scraped off. I've already had someone test it. The DNA results are coming soon."
"What nail polish?" Amanda still wouldn't budge. "Even if there was, it was from her cleaning."
"It's not just the nail polish. There's also hair and other stuff." Sadie stared hard at Barbara. "Should I bring it out, or will you fess up?"
Barbara finally cracked. She sat up straight, defiance in her eyes. "Yeah, it was me. All three times, it was me with Joe."
"No, no way." Joe stared at Barbara, totally floored. "It wasn't you. How could it be you? It was Sadie."
"It was me." Barbara crawled over, grabbing Joe's hand, sobbing, "Joe, I really love you. More than anyone else." "Shut up." Joe yanked his hand away, shouting, "You make me sick, sick!"
With that, Joe bolted from the room, a total mess.
"Joe, Joe..." Barbara cried, trying to chase him, but Amanda's maid blocked her.
"Shameless." Amanda spat, eyes blazing. "Drag her to the basement. No one lets her out without my say-so."
Two maids grabbed Barbara, dragging her out as she begged, "Duchess Louis, please, let me stay with Joe. As a lover, a maid- anything!"
"You don't deserve it." Amanda hissed, kicking her away. "You're not even fit to be a servant. I never want to see you again. Take her away!"
The maids dragged Barbara out. She struggled and cried, "Duchess Louis, Duchess Louis, please, for my father's sake, let me go, Duchess Louis..."
Her voice faded. Amanda stayed cold, her face twisted in disgust, like she'd seen something nasty.
"This room's a no-go now," Sadie sighed. "Duchess Louis, we should leave you in peace."
"Sadie, you're something else!" Amanda glared at Sadie, teeth clenched. "You knew about Barbara all along and had the proof, but you didn't spill. Instead, you let me catch them, and now you're bailing. Smart move!" Sadie smirked. "We all have our tricks. I never mentioned your games at Grapetown Heights Winery. I've saved your face, Duchess Louis. You should thank me."
"You..." Amanda's face turned red with rage.
