Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 92

The next morning, Amelia came downstairs and found Marian busy in the kitchen.

She walked over. “Morning, Marian.”

“Good morning, ma’am.” Marian replied politely, not even glancing back. She was focused on unpacking a box of bird’s nest that had just arrived, still acting like Amelia was blind.

Amelia leaned against the doorway, arms folded, a hint of a smile on her lips. “That bird’s nest looks pretty good today.”

Marian’s hands stopped instantly. She turned and saw Amelia wasn’t wearing her sunglasses, and her eyes—usually so vacant—were bright and clear, watching her closely.

Marian’s face went pale. She managed a stiff smile. “Ma’am, your eyes…”

“I saw a specialist yesterday, got some medicine. Woke up this morning feeling good as new.”

So, it only got better this morning…

Marian’s heart, which had been pounding in her chest, finally settled. She casually picked up the conversation. “Yes, this batch came from Mrs. Salmeron’s mother. She picked out the very best for us. Timmy and Penny are growing so fast—this is great for them.”

Amelia’s smile widened. “That reminds me, Marian, don’t you have two grandsons about the same age as Timmy and Penny? If we can’t finish all this, you should take some home for them.”

“Oh, no, absolutely not!” Marian said, sounding almost offended. “I could never bring anything home. Mr. Salmeron already pays me very well—three thousand a month! This is all for Timmy and Penny. My grandkids aren’t so lucky.”

Amelia watched her, amusement dancing in her eyes at Marian’s insistence.

“People as ‘honest’ as you, Marian, are getting rare these days.”

Even though Amelia was smiling gently, Marian felt a cold chill run down her spine.

Amelia didn’t say anything else. She turned and went upstairs to wake Penny.
