Chapter 1554 - 1546: Wherever the Gaze Falls, That Is Eternal—The Gossip of the Servants

"Joseph, do you not like your sister-in-law?"

Violet Zimmerman’s voice echoed again, bewitching like an enchantment, Joseph Lancaster clearly wanted to leave, but his body was frozen in the chair, beyond his brain’s control.

The bewitching voice continued, Violet raised her hand to touch Joseph’s cheek, feigning confusion as she spoke.

"Sister-in-law clearly feels that you do like her, last night... later... you ate sister-in-law’s breast..."

"Stop it! Sister-in-law, I beg you, stop it..."

The young man collapsed, covering his ears, shaking his head continually, his face contorted in agony.

Violet knew that doing this was very selfish, but what could she do!

A light sigh, she straightened her body, opened the enamel bowl on the desk, took the ladle hanging on the side, scooped up a meatball, Violet’s face no longer held its earlier charm.

"Joseph, eat it while it’s hot, after you finish, it’ll be easier for me to go back and report."

Joseph Lancaster...

Suddenly turned his head, in his eyes, the woman’s face was cold and devoid of warmth.

Lips twitched several times, Joseph finally made a sound, "Was it still brother who asked you to come?"

"Yes." A single word devoid of emotion, Violet had already brought the meatball to Joseph’s lips.

Joseph did not refuse, mechanically opened his mouth, and ate the meatball, Violet then fed him a second one...

The small bowl of meatballs reached its bottom, Violet slowly unbuttoned her top, only wearing a bra underneath for convenience.

She cupped the young man’s head, pulling it towards her, as his face moved closer to Violet’s chest, he inhaled the woman’s distinct fragrance.

This time lasted longer than last night, knowing it was wrong, yet the young man was reluctant to end it, his face buried at Violet’s ear repetitively, finally pushing himself even closer.

When Violet descended the stairs, she was calm and composed, her face showing almost no expression.

The servants waiting in the hall stood up, respectfully greeting her, watching Violet leave before suspiciously glancing upstairs.

In the following days, Violet came to deliver late-night snacks to her young brother-in-law every night, staying in his room for a long time before leaving.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, one day when Joseph returned from school, he saw his servants washing clothes while chatting by his room from afar.

Instinctively, Joseph lightened his steps, quickly walked to the door, and hid behind the doorpost.

"...I feel their relationship is definitely unusual, every time Madam stays in the second young master’s room for such a long time before leaving."

"Don’t speak nonsense, the second young master is the family head’s own brother, he wouldn’t do such a thing."

"Hmph, even if nothing happened, Madam should avoid suspicion, there’s a difference between men and women, she stays in the second young master’s room for so long each time, anyone would think too much!"

"I say, you’re really nosy, we’re just servants earning a wage here, why meddle so much? If the servants from other rooms hear it and spread it, you’ll be the one suffering later!"

"I’m just venting to you about it, who dares to talk about it to outsiders."

"Alright, alright, let’s stop here, don’t bring it up again."

"I know."

...

Listening to the servants’ gossip, Joseph nervously curled his fingers, he must warn Sister-in-law to be more careful in the future, if a fourth person finds out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If that happens, the Lancaster Family would be turned upside down.

With this thought, Joseph turned and ran towards Violet Zimmerman’s residence.
