Chapter 713 Dont Ever Mention That Woman Again! (1/2)

”You've really gone off the rails!” Jacob couldn't curb his anger anymore. He lifted Beryl up and was about to storm upstairs with her.

Everything happened so suddenly that it caught Ancho off guard and she took a moment to respond, ”Mr. Jacob Mr. Jacob! Miss Beryl is still a young child. Can you please excuse her for this once only? Surely you can gradually teach her what's the right way to do things later on...”

Finishing her plea, she noticed Emily standing to the side. An idea cam to her then and she turned to Emily, pleading, ”Ma'am, aren't you Miss Beryl's mother? How can you let Mr. Jacob vent his anger against your daughter? Doesn't that break your heart at all?”

”Mr. Jacob! Miss Beryl, please say something on my behalf...” Ancho cried out like someone doomed to be executed. Everyone present felt uneasy at the acute piercing sound of her shrieks, but a smart servant grabbed a used rag from his pocket and deftly forced it into her open mouth. At last, she was reduced to silence.

A small smile curved Emily's lips. ”You know what, we should really raise their salaries.”

The servants were surprised but quickly realized that Mrs. Emily had just increased their wages. ”Thank you Mrs. Emily! Thank you for your kindne
