章 13: Found You
Althea looked at the large amount in her hands with a smirk on her face. She had never seen poverty! Then how could she wear such rags for a long time.
Though her step mother had sent a few new dresses, they all were poorly made. But she did not need to care about it.
After selling the recordings to different newspapers, she had earned enough to buy all the things she needed.
But she was sure after the clippings of the day, she had to give Althea a fancy place to live and a few maids with all the other rights a princess should have.
And this would start in three, two, one..! She hid all the money she had earned in the closet as she opened the door.
"Sister, mother had arranged the new chamber for you with these five maids. I am sure you will not face any trouble then." Jenny said with a smile as she pointed at the four maids standing behind her and then took out a small bag of gold coins.
"And this is the amount of your allowance." she smiled when Althea raised a brow and took the bag.
As expected the magical crystal ball was hidden in her dress so that things could be recorded again.
But Althea was not a fool to not know about such small trick,
"Oh, am I getting the allowance and maids for the first time? This is one of the best days of my life, sister! Thank you!" she hugged Jenny with her dirty hands as she had just eaten fruit and had not washed them intentionally.
The fine detail would not be caught by the ball. But the ugly face made by Jenny would.
They would never be able to clean their reputation after what had happened.
Jenny gritted her teeth as she realized that her plan had fallen. She left hurriedly after making an excuse while leaving the maids behind.
They all bowed their heads to her and smiled when Alethea looked at them intensely.
Only one of them was still smiling at her and looking a bit scared while the rest of them had a flattering look on their faces.
"Are you going to work for me?" she asked when all of them nodded at once.
"Oh! Then go and bring more food to me." she ordered them with a wicked look on her face.
"And you clean my room properly." she asked others. "You go and bring hot water for my bath and you come and help me in choosing my clothes." as she ordered all of them, they all ran to work.
But once they came back after completing it, she scrunched her face with an ugly look.
"Oh my, this is hot. Do you want to burn me huh? Do you want to see how hot it is?" she held the hands of the girl and forcefully placed them in water with much force.
"Ahhhh!" The shriek of the girl shocked the whole room and tears started to well in her eyes.
When her hands were left, it was completely red with a lot of blisters.
"And you! Is this the food you want me to eat! It is worse than given to slaves. I can not eat this!" she threw the food on the face of the woman with so much force that it all landed on her clothes and face, ruining it completely.
"And you! Did you call it a dress!" she stomped on all the clothes until they were full of stains, "it is too dirty. Go and wash it and iron it in an hour.'' She insulted all of them and ordered them to repeat their tasks in a better way only to humiliate them again and again.
She had thrown food on all of them burnt their hands or hurt them in other way or insulted them with harsh words,
By the end of the day, they were looking at her as if she was a demon. Their eyes were filled with hatred and anger.
They cursed her and though they were still following her orders, their eyes were filled with hostility except for one.
