The maid crashed to the ground, too weak to even try getting up.

She

opened her mouth to speak, only to cough up a mouthful of blood.

A pair of embroidered shoes appeared before the maid’s eyes, the lustrous pearls on the toes gleaming dazzlingly.

The maid’s eyes widened in horror as her blood splattered onto the priceless Oriental pearls.

Looking up, she saw Lizzie’s ky lace.
