The entire courtyard fell into a deathly silence.
Logan's eyes were cold and sharp as blades, sweeping over the crowd without the slightest trace of emotion.
The lead maid trembled all over. She hadn't expected Logan to return at this moment. Her legs went weak with fear. "M-Mr. Reid…"
Logan's voice was low and dangerous as he asked coldly, word by word, "You wanted Mrs. Reid to kneel to you?"
"N-No!"
The maid's earlier arrogance was completely gone. Her face turned pale as she stumbled to explain.
"It's not what it looks like. Mrs. Reid suddenly hit me, and I—I lost my temper and said something I shouldn't have…"
Selina was stunned. A grown woman still trying to play the innocent victim? Twisting the truth like that?
Logan raised an eyebrow. "Selina hit you?"
The maid thought she saw a way out and quickly leaned into the act, speaking as if she were being generous and forgiving—but clearly hoping to stir things up.
