Chapter 109 Spit in The Bird’s Nest
“Madam?“The maid called Sally sneered and rolled her eyes.“She’s just a vixen!Did she even deserve to be our Madam?“she spat venomously.
“That’s true, but-“Before the other maid could finish, Sally interrupted her.
“Tch.Why are you fretting?I just ate a portion of her bird’s nest soup. Don’t worry. I’ll dilute it with some water and mix it up.“She grinned and continued, “That Julia looks so pathetic. How could she appreciate something so exquisite? I doubt she’d even notice if we ate it.”
“You’ve got a point. I might as well have a taste too.“The other maid nodded, thoroughly convinced by Sally’s words.
“Let’s dig in,shall we?”
Julia,who had been eavesdropping outside, surmised that those two maids had eaten and tampered with her food. Just as she was about to storm in and confront them, Sally suddenly exclaimed.
“That’s right!”
“What?“The other maid was surprised by her reaction and eyed her suspiciously.Sally grinned at her,and,without a word, she spat into the bird’s nest soup.
“You!What on earth are you doing?“the other maid gasped.
“Well, I remember Miss Yang.She despised Julia,and once she learned that we pulled this trick on Julia,she would certainly reward us!Isn’t that a brilliant idea?“Sally chuckled. A trace of evil glint flitted into her eyes.
“But won’t it get discovered like this?“the maid asked anxiously.
“What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just saliva,not phlegm. I bet Julia won’t be able to tell. After all,she’s just a country bumpkin. She might think the bird’s nest tastes just like that, “she mockingly spat.
Seeing the other maid wasn’t entirely convinced; she added, “Don’t worry. Miss Yang is the only rightful Madam of the Brook family.When she gets married in the future,we can help her more, and I bet she’ll reward us for our service.”
“I think your words made sense, “the maid sighed.
“Bon’t dwell on it.You spit too, and then I’ll report it to Miss Yang. Perhaps she’ll even reward us with pocket money,“Sally gushed.
“Alright.”
Under Sally’s urging, the maid spat on the soup and smirked.
Julia,who was silently watching them, glared at the two maids. Her eyes almost spewed fire. If it hadn’t been their first offense, she might have demanded they shed their clothes as punishment.
Smiling coldly, she strutted inside and crossed her arms.“I’m pleased to throw up in the soup.” At that instant,the two maids jumped in fright.They spun around and stared at Julia in horror as if they had seen a ghost. Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. It never crossed their minds that Julia would enter the kitchen.
“No…We’re not…“The two stuttered as they racked their brains to come up with an excuse. “No?“Julia scoffed.She pursed her lips and intoned coldly,“Let me make something clear. I’ve got perfect vision, no eye problems, and I’m definitely not seeing things. But you’re still

saying’no‘?“Her eyes narrowed as she spoke.
The two maids were scared out of their wits.Their hearts pounded like crazy,as though something dangerous chased after them.
They looked at each other,and a profound glint flashed into their eyes.They nodded at each other as they reached a conclusion.
They wouldn’t admit it no matter what!
Fortunately,there was no surveillance in the kitchen. So what if Julia caught them red–handed? Even if she ran to Jared and complained, as long as they wouldn’t admit to it,they could get away with it.
At that moment, Shiloh suddenly entered the kitchen. His face was painted with a frown as he looked at them. He didn’t hear their conversation clearly, but he could tell something had happened.
“What happened?“he asked.
Julia turned to him and cocked her brows as she spoke.“Nothing big. I merely caught these two culprits red–handed eating my bird’s nest soup.Oh,and they also spat into the rest of it.What do you think, Shiloh? Has any of the food you and your brother ate gotten snatched and spat on?”
Hearing her words, Shiloh was taken aback. He whipped around his head and glowered at the maids.“Did you guys do that?!”
The two maids quivered in fear, but they immediately denied, “No way!We would never dare snatch your food, Young Master. Even if we had a hundred guts,we’d never dare! And we could never do something so nasty as spitting!”
They stuttered as they explained.Their faces were white as a sheet of paper as if they had lost
all their blood.
Seeing their nervous–wreck expression, Shiloh could tell they had never done this thing before.However,that didn’t mean they hadn’t done that just now.
He took a deep breath and looked at the soup on the table.“I’ll ask you one last time,did you spit on the soup?”
“No, Sir,we didn’t!“They cried. Bullets of cold sweat beaded their foreheads. They clenched their fists as they vowed,”No,we really didn’t do that.We swear!Perhaps Madam didn’t like us, so she wanted to find a reason to drive us out. Young Master, she’s deliberately framing us!”
Hearing their slapstick words, Julia smiled coldly.“Alright, you won’t admit it,I understand. Anyway, no other witnesses are around, so if you want to prove your innocence,you must eat the rest of the soup.”
When they heard her,the maids were dumbfounded.They thought they were hearing things, but looking at Julia’s expression, they knew they were doomed.
“What?Scared to eat? Is it because you spat on it?“Julia arched her eyebrows gracefully, her delicate features etched with a hint of frostiness as she approached the two of them.
“N–no…it’s not that we’re afraid to eat it. It’s just that Young Master Jared instructed us to prepare it,especially for you, Madam.W-we don’t dare to e–eat it, “Sally stammered in her defense.
“It’s alright.I’m permitting you to eat it.Consider it a gift from me.Go ahead, “Julia insisted. At that instant,the kitchen fell into an eerie silence.
Julia rolled her eyes as she saw the maids’deathly pale faces.Clicking her tongue,she turned to

Shiloh and quipped,“You saw it too.They’re unwilling to eat it.I think your family should screen the employees thoroughly.”
“With this kind of attitude, I think they should be dismissed immediately,” she added.
The two maids were taken aback when they heard her.When Julia’s words sank inside their minds,a mix of surprise and resentment colored their expressions.
“We’ll eat.We will eat right away!“they sputtered.Their eyes turned red in resentment.
With trembling hands, Sally picked up the spoon.Gazing at the dense contents within, her stomach churned in disgust that she felt like retching.
The two felt like crying, but they didn’t want to leave their work.The Brooks were pretty generous with the wages, and it was way better than what regular well–off families offered. So,no matter how disgusting it was, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat it.
With queasy stomachs, the two of them managed to gulp down the entire bird’s nest,then faced Shiloh.“Young Master Shiloh,we’ve eaten it all.We truly didn’t spit on it.”
“I see. Pack your stuff,and don’t show up here again,“Shiloh remarked, decisively putting an end
to the matter.
He understood Julia well enough to know that she wouldn’t falsely accuse anyone for no
reason.
“Why, Young Master Shiloh? We’ve completed the task and proven our innocence. Please don’t chase us away,“Sally anxiously pleaded when she heard his decision. However, Shiloh’s stern. expression didn’t ease.
“That’s right!Madam seems displeased with us, so she set us up!“the other maid. protested,attempting to clear their names.
“That’s precisely why I’m asking you to leave, “Shiloh said icily.“Julia is not only my brother’s wife but also the mistress of this household. If her happiness is compromised by your presence,then you must leave.”
Julia propped her chin with her hand and stared at Shiloh with a profound glint gleaming in her eyes.
On the sidelines, the two maids were utterly baffled as they thought,‘How could this be?Wasn’t he always against Julia? Didn’t he always want to kick her out? Why the sudden change in attitude?”
“Young-“Before Sally could finish her words, Shiloh cut her off.
“You’re still not leaving? Or do you want me to escort you out?“he spat.
Shiloh rarely showed such a frosty,stern expression, and the maids were so scared that they didn’t dare to push their luck any further.They left with their heads down,silently cursing Julia’s lineage in their hearts.
Julia looked at the departing figures of the maids for a few moments before retracting her gaze.
Smiling playfully, she faced Shiloh and teased, “I didn’t expect you to stand up for me like that.” Instantly, Shiloh’s ears reddened.“Who’s standing up for you?I’m just discussing the situation, and I can’t tolerate anyone spitting on the food. Anyway, enough talk. I’m heading back to my room to rest.”
Watching Shiloh limp away, Julia smiled and shook her head.
This Shiloh was really something else. He was clearly helping out, but he was too proud to

admit it.
“I bet he’s just grateful I healed his legs,“she muttered.
Meanwhile, outside the villa,the two maids walked with their luggage, spewing curses under their breaths.
“I just don’t get it.What kind of magic has Julia used on Sir Jared and Shiloh that they kept protecting her?“the other maid grumbled.
“Tsk.Well, she’s beautiful and charming. Maybe she was some enchantress in her past life!“Sally huffed angrily.She wanted to continue her rants, but she caught sight of a sleek black Maybach parked nearby.

Shortly after,the car door swung open, revealing a pair of long, slender legs gracefully stepping
