The 216th chapter competition (18)
This was so scary! Rilla stared blankly at the fragments on the ground. The treasures that could have bought a city turned into some ordinary gems and scrap porcelain pieces in an instant.
Rhela's brain was empty at this time, as if a wire was shorted, and she could not think of any response. She didn't even realize that she should think of some solutions now. She just stood blankly, looking at the ground, and whispered to herself in a quiet silence: "Dad's vase, the vase left to him by aunt..."
Everyone next to them was stunned because this was Mrs. Roberts' favorite antique. The lady kept reminding everyone not to touch it except for daily wiping, and not even the safe outside glass cabinet should be moved.
However, this treasure fell into pieces while being wiped by conventional wisdom.
Gotland was a little nervous. He loved Roberts deeply and was most afraid of Roberts' heartache. But he suddenly felt very sympathetic to this helpless girl. He didn't know why he felt this way. He thought he had turned black and would no longer sympathize with the weak, but now his state of mind made him feel heartbroken.
He walked to the kitchen in dismay and simply ignored the matter.
When the second housekeeper saw Gotland leaving, he knew in his heart that this matter must be handled by himself. When he was an intern at the Guibi Manor, he was deeply favored by Roberts. Now he has become Roberts' right-hand man, but he is unwilling to accept this and wants to replace Gotland's position. Now it is a good opportunity to make contributions, and it is just right to help Roberts find reasons to get rid of Rhea! He tried his best to suppress his inner distress towards Rhea, and desperately recalled the scene of Rhea's being attentive to the prince, making him hate Rhea even more deeply.
"Second butler!" Sally suddenly stood up on the back of the sofa, her anxious eyes revealed, which made the prince feel distressed.
"What's wrong, Miss Sally." When the second housekeeper looked at Sally, his originally gloomy face immediately smiled happily.
"Can you not punish Rilla? I believe she did not mean it." Sally said in a pleading tone.
The prince continued, "Just listen to Sally. These lost money are nothing. I will compensate Mrs. Roberts for the supreme glory in the future!"
"Of course this is the best. I won't punish Rilla." The second housekeeper smiled. "It's getting late. Your Highness, Miss Sally, you go and rest quickly. Just leave it here to me."
Sally smiled politely at Rilla and walked to their rooms with the prince. The others also went back one after another.
When only Ruila, who was standing pitiful in the living room was left, the second housekeeper showed anger. The originally energetic face of twenty-four years old instantly looked like a devil.
He roared, "Don't think that Miss Sally pleads for you, I will forgive you! Don't forget that Mrs. Roberts is the real owner of Greybean Manor now. If you provoke her, you will be punished. You make mistakes and contradict each other again and again, and now that you have destroyed this most expensive antique, I must punish you heavily."
Rilla was so scared that she cried. She sat on the ground and patted the floor: "These things are originally my father's, and my father wouldn't punish me. Why did that woman punish me? You are simply unreasonable and have no conscience!" Her hands were tugged heavily on the broken porcelain pieces, and many blood was carved.
The second housekeeper did not have any sympathy. He pulled Rilla's arm and twisted her so hard that it hurt.
"Look at the reality! Everything here is Mrs. Roberts's, not your father's, Mr. Dahl has passed away!"

Big tears flowed down Rhela's eyes, and all the childhood memories surged in front of her. She no longer struggled, but looked straight at the man in front of her.
"You are all so bad, and you will deprive me of what I should have. Auntie, Roberts, you and His Highness the Prince, you will use me or bully me! Why?"
"Hmph, do you still have the face to mention Your Highness Prince? Your Highness Prince didn't really like you at the beginning, but you just wanted to be fresh for a while, but you happily cursed and was dumped in the end. You are so embarrassing!" The second housekeeper showed contempt in his eyes, and his tone was full of disdain.
Rilla cried even harder.
She took a few steps back, and through the tears that blurred before her eyes like fog, she choked and said, "Do you know why I changed from a crush on you to a liking to His Highness the Prince?"
It seemed as if lightning had broken through the sky. Rhela's late confession shocked and happy. The second butler couldn't help but think: It turns out that the person I liked had also liked me...
The story of the Second Butler and Rilla starts ten years ago.
At that time, the second housekeeper was fourteen years old.
He fainted in the market wearing apprentice's clothes, covered in wounds, picked up by passing human traffickers, and bought the farm of Guibi Manor as a laborer.
He almost didn't remember what happened to him in the past, he only remembered that his name was Poly.
He is very diligent and capable in his work. He was soon discovered by Mr. Dahl and was successfully upgraded to an internship housekeeper.
At that time, Rilla was five years old. She looked at the elder brother in front of her in a brand new housekeeper uniform with a gentle look. Not only did she look gentle but also had a clear and beautiful face. She couldn't help but stretch out her tender little arm and took his hand and said, "Poli, Poly, let's play with me, let's play with me."
Poly looked at the innocent little girl and couldn't bear to refuse her. It was the first day they met, and the two of them played in the yard and on the country road all day.
As she grew up, the seeds of love sprouted in Rila's heart. Gradually, she found that she liked to secretly look at Poly and even often imitated his work. The smart Rila knew that this was the feeling of love.
However, after Mr. Dahl's death, Poly completely defected to Roberts, watching Rila become a slave, doing the dirtiest and tiring work, completely disregarding her friendship with Rila. This made Rila deeply disappointed. It took her five or six years to let go of her feelings for Poly, because the appearance of the perfect prince was enough to make her forget the ruthless Poly.
As Rilla grew up, Poly began to pay attention to her. In fact, Rilla gradually grew into Poly's favorite appearance. However, due to Roberts, Poly did not dare to express his feelings to Rilla. Until the moment when the prince's appearance made Rilla fall into it, Poly felt that he had broken up. He turned from love to hate. Even if Rilla was dumped by the prince, he would not forgive Rilla, although this was not Rilla's fault.
The second housekeeper was like this, and he kept looking for trouble for Rhela. Today's situation was the best time to relieve his hatred. However, Rhela's late confession changed his mind.
"Rilla." The second housekeeper suddenly became gentle, "Are all you said true?"
"Of course it's true, but what's the use of this? I only love His Highness the Prince now, you've become a thing of the past!" Rilla shouted wildly, grabbing the biscuits and jam on the table and throwing it at the second housekeeper's clothes.
The second housekeeper looked at Rilla in disbelief: "So you hate me so much, okay, then I hate you even more than you hate me!"
He was so angry that he grabbed Rilla's collar, pulled her to the door, and beat her
When you open the door, the wind and snow outside seem to be able to shave into the bone marrow.
"Just freeze to death outside. I will never let you in any case! I will only listen to my master now!" The second butler cried and threw Rilla out.
The thin-dressed Rilla fell into the snow that was ten centimeters thick. She looked at the second housekeeper with her stubborn eyes, biting her lips without saying a word.
The second butler took a deep breath, endured the pain in his heart, locked the door, and went back to the room. While walking, he muttered to himself: "What's so great? You are not worth my efforts like this."
Rilla slapped the door while shouting: "You crazy! Open the door quickly, don't forget that I am your real master!"
I don't know how long she had been crying, but she was tired. The feeling of hunger and cold made her recall what happened when she was a child. That day, my aunt instigated herself to stay in the yard and then falsely accused Roberts.
Thinking of this, Rilla, who had only a trace of consciousness, raised his head in despair, looked at the dark sky and the heavy snow of goose feathers, and murmured to himself: "It turns out that he had planted the cause when he was a child, and now he can only bear the bitter fruits himself."
In a trance, she seemed to see her father and mother calling her in the sky. What she didn't know was that there was a pair of beautiful eyes looking at her next to her, which was Gotland.
Gotland had long had feelings for this girl with a rich heart, but Gotland loved Roberts more and was more afraid of being kicked away by Roberts. Now that Rhea has made a big mistake, he must choose Roberts and give up Rhea.
But his conscience was unbearable, so he had to use the second housekeeper to get rid of Rilla. This would not only relieve Roberts's anger, but also put all the blame for abuse of Roberts' stepdaughter on the second housekeeper.
The next day, Gotland announced a news: Rhea was frozen to death in the blizzard and died uneasy, and now Rhea's coffin is temporarily placed in his room.
He walked to the second butler, frowned deeply, and said arrogantly: "That's a life. Even a hundred Modo cities, no, countless Modo cities cannot be bought back."
The second butler shook his body and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Mr. Butler, spare me, I didn't expect this to happen. I wanted to punish her!"
"Then I want to punish you now, too, you are fired now." Gotland said calmly.
The second housekeeper opened his eyes wide and stared at Gotland. He understood that Gotland was the person he valued the most. No matter how much he cursed his wife, he could not defeat Gotland's words.
He didn't make any more quibbling or struggling, and even took a piece of luggage away. He left like that. As he walked out of the yard, he recalled the scene of playing with Rilla, and tears burst out from his eyes. He said to himself, "Do you still want to go back and take a look at her body? Forget it, you have no chance, so why bother to disturb her again."
The prince sat on the carpet comforting the crying Sally.
Sally reached out and tried to touch Rhela's body, but the prince stopped him.
"Baby, be good, don't touch that thing." The prince said gently.
"That's not something! That's Rilla!" Sally yelled at the prince for the first time.
Without these things, Rilla and Sally must be sisters like shadows, inseparable and honest with each other.
