Chapter 968 The Housekeeper

"You mean... about the case of Rebecca's death?" Daphne lowered her voice and her face turned pale.

"That's right, just yesterday, Musk was still discussing this case with my dad." Lisa winked at her fiancé.

Musk took the words knowingly: "Mrs. Wenders, with all due respect, on the issue of Rebecca's death, your husband's testimony to the police is inconsistent with the autopsy report, which is very important to his situation. unfavorable."

"Mr. Justice! Listen to me, Maxim never murdered Rebecca! He couldn't do anything so cruel, and he had no motive at all!"

Daphne excitedly defended her husband.

"Mr. Justice, you are also a man, think about it, if you have a beautiful, versatile, noble and strong wife, and you are pregnant with a child, why do you have to kill her?"

"Mrs. Wenders, I'm afraid you don't know enough about men." Musk smiled lightly, "First of all, Rebecca may not be as perfect as she seems on the surface. Taking a step back, even if she is really impeccable, she may not be able to To win the hearts of all men, after all, she is too perfect, she can handle everything without relying on men, so where is the value of a husband? Being completely covered by her light, I am afraid it will not feel good."

"Musk is so right!" Lisa took over the words, "Women should not be too strong, otherwise the pressure on men will be too great. I would rather find a mediocre mistress and find a man from her adoring eyes. pride!"

"Oh! My God, Lisa, you are mocking me!" Musk put on a resentful face, "Well, I am that poor little man who is suppressed by a strong girlfriend, but I have absolutely no intention of stealing!"

"No, no, Mr. Justice, Lisa is not satirizing you, but is reminding me, don't just be content with being a mediocre woman, there is nothing good about it other than satisfying your husband's self-esteem." Lisa was deeply moved say.

"Hey! Both of you, give me a little bit!" Lisa was furious, "I didn't mean that! Hey! It's all because I can't control my mouth, I really want to slap myself!"

Both Musk and Daphne were amused by her, and the atmosphere in the gallery became much lighter.

"Speaking of Rebecca's case, Mr. Justice, do you know that someone has launched a judicial duel against my husband for this?" Daphne looked at Musk.

"I heard that the other party is Rebecca's cousin, Jack Fevre, a powerful cavalry officer. I don't think your husband is his opponent."

"That's exactly what I'm worried about." Lisa said with a sad face, "Mr. Justice, I heard that you are a famous dueling attorney. If the court orders my husband to fight Lieutenant Colonel Fever Accept the challenge on behalf of my husband?"

"This..." Musk looked embarrassed.

"Mr. Justice, we sincerely hire you to represent you in this case, and you can spend as much as you want!" Daphne said eagerly, "Lisa, can you say something too? Is 10000 gold pounds enough?"

Lisa and Musk looked at each other.

Daphne is obviously not a person who is good at bargaining. If Lisa didn't have a good relationship with her, she should really take the opportunity to kill her.

"Daphne, this is not a matter of money. Musk and I still need to understand the case more deeply. Please give us some time and give you an answer after thinking it over, okay?"

Lisa held her hand and softly reassured her not to be impatient.

Daphne was about to say something, but footsteps suddenly came from behind her.

Mrs. Danvers came over with a coffin face and said to the hostess: "Madam, it's getting late, you have to go with me to change the clothes you will wear at the ball today."

When Daphne saw this old woman, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. She became terrified, said sorry to Musk and Lisa, and left with Mrs. Danvers.

Lisa watched the two disappear at the stairs, and said to her fiancé worriedly: "Daphne's character is too weak. She is the mistress of Manderley Manor in name, but she is submissive by the housekeeper. If she doesn't change If you have a low self-esteem mentality, get tough and establish the majesty of the hostess in front of the servants, and you will inevitably suffer from it in the future."

Musk also saw that Daphne was being manipulated by Mrs. Danvers. As the owner, she was manipulated by a housekeeper. Even an outsider like him couldn't stand it. Could it be that Daphne's new husband didn't notice it?
This is obviously illogical.

"With Daphne's character, it's not surprising to be bullied by servants who bully the weak and fear the hard. However, even if she dared not reprimand Mrs. Danvers in person, she could at least complain to her husband. Couldn't Mr. Wenders, the male owner of Manderley Manor, not Dare to offend a mere housekeeper, warn Mrs. Danvers to respect his wife and clear her position?"

After hearing Musk's question, Lisa fell into deep thought, before speaking after a long time.

"My dear, Daphne is a person who always thinks of the best of others. This is indeed a manifestation of kindness, but it is a fatal weakness in the social arena where the upper class intrigues each other."

"From the perspective of a bystander, it's not hard to see that Mrs. Danvers is a cunning old fox, constantly putting pressure on the hostess, asking her to do things according to the rules she made in the name of Daphne's sake, and constantly squeezing Daphne's heart." Bottom line, this is actually a kind of mental bullying, a kind of subtle discipline."

"But in Daphne's view, Mrs. Danvers is like a strict tutor. Although her attitude towards her is not respectful enough, she is sincerely doing her good, teaching her the etiquette of the upper class, so that she can be better qualified for mando. Taking the role of the hostess of Li Manor, she didn't realize that she was being led by the nose step by step, and the relationship between master and servant was completely reversed."

"In this case, how could she sue her husband about the housekeeper?"

"In the final analysis, this is the evil result caused by Daphne's own weak character."

"Mrs. Danvers is like a vicious hyena. When she finds a sheep hiding under the lion's skin, she will not hesitate to pounce on it and bite it."

Lisa sighed, and concluded pessimistically: "What I'm most worried about is that Daphne has been brainwashed by the housekeeper without knowing it. Even if I persuade her to be tough, put on the air of a master, and set rules in front of servants, she Can't listen to it either."

Musk nodded with deep sympathy, and thought about it: "Maybe we should find an opportunity to talk to Maxim Wenders about this matter, and let him take the initiative to protect his wife's dignity in front of servants."
