Chapter 491: Chapter 494: Eliminating the Traitors

“Miss, look, as soon as I knew you were coming back, I had the house cleaned from top to bottom. What do you think… is it clean?”

“Clean, how could it not be?” Lily Gray sneered, looking at the fawning butler.

Ellie didn’t know what the relationship between her and the butler was like before she went to the Lucas family.

Therefore, Lily wasn’t afraid that her cold attitude would make Ellie suspicious.

After all, before she came back, Aidan Lucas had briefly told her about the Gray family’s situation.

He didn’t dare directly say that Rowena Gray and Madam Gray had deceived her.

But he specifically reminded her that the butler at home was not a good person.

Lily didn’t fear exposing him and coldly said, “During this time you’ve been living in the Gray family house. At today’s market price, this villa would cost tens of thousands a month at the very least. I won’t charge you for this rent, just pack your things and leave.”

The butler, who had been disloyal and betrayed her.

If it wasn’t for the fact that she couldn’t get a chance to deal with her back then.

She would have driven this kind of person away long ago.

“You…Miss, did you get something wrong somewhere?”

The butler still treated Lily as the naive girl from the past.

He stubbornly defended himself, “Miss, I was personally hired by your mother as the butler. During this time when you were not at home, I was the one taking care of all the family affairs.”

The butler didn’t know that Lily had “lost her memory.”

Thinking that she was still holding grudges from Madam Gray’s past actions, he deliberately sighed and said.

“I know you’re mad at me for helping Madam Gray instead of you back then. But miss, I was the butler, I ate the Gray family’s food and took the Gray family’s salary. At that time, Madam Gray was the head of the household, and I had no choice but to provide her with those documents!”

“So I thought back then, why not pretend to submit to Madam Gray and stay by her side. That way, I can secretly protect the family property for you. Miss, you see, now it’s just like this… I was always working for them in the villa, hoping that one day you would come back.”

“Later someone brought back the property certificate, driving Madam Gray and the others away. Even though no one was paying me anymore, I still stayed and looked after this place. This is the Gray family’s ancestral home, after all. Miss, considering my merit in taking care of the ancestral home, you shouldn’t drive me away!”

“Clap clap clap–” After listening to the butler’s words, Lily Gray took the lead in applauding.”

“Not bad, really not bad… I didn’t even know before that our Gray family was raising such a smooth-talking dog.”

“You…” The butler could barely hold back from cursing, but considering his current situation, he had to swallow his anger.

“Miss, what are you talking about? I am only loyal to the Gray family. Please don’t misunderstand.”

Lily Gray’s mouth curled up in mockery. This shameless villain really wouldn't shed tears until he saw his coffin.

“Fine, since I’m letting you go and you don’t want to leave… then I’ll let you stay.”

“Thank you, Miss… Miss, rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint you… ”

“Don’t celebrate too soon. The Gray family doesn’t support idlers. From now on, you are no longer the Gray family’s butler. From today, all of you will listen to Ellie’s orders.”

Lily Gray took a step back, allowing Ellie, who was standing behind her, to step forward.

“From now on, she is the butler here, and you all will listen to Ellie.”

[Author’s Note] As mentioned before, Lily will become stronger later on, and now it’s starting.
