Chapter 759:
Yelena considered the situation, realizing they had solved two problems at once. Aus’s bad mood made sense now—he had been outdone by Lena.
Maggie twitched her lips. “While I was asleep, these two stirred up quite a scare. It really frightened me p>
Maggie had been terrified, thinking Lena was close to death, which had left her deeply worried.
Pointing at Lena, Yelena sternly questioned, “Do you understand how serious this is? Would you try such a thing again?” Lena appeared to comprehend and meowed softly at Yelena.
At that moment, a servant hurried in, knocking on the door with urgency. “Mrs. Barton, Mr. Barton, there’s been a terrible incident p>
“What is it?” Maggie asked quickly.
“It’s Miss Mitchell, she… she p>
With a look of concern, Maggie asked, “What’s wrong with her p>
“Miss Mitchell has fallen and is bleeding extensively,” the servant explained, her voice trembling as she recalled the incident. “We need to see what’s happened p>
They hurried downstairs, and as they reached Monica’s room, they could hear her sobbing quietly.
With a heavy heart, Maggie pushed the door open, calling out, “Monica p>
“Mrs. Barton,” came Monica’s reply from behind a loosely tied bathrobe that revealed too much.
Austin, being the gentleman that he was, promptly turned away.

“What happened?” Maggie asked.
“I’m not sure,” Monica responded. “I was in the shower when I got scared by what looked like a mouse. My leg hasn’t fully healed, so I panicked and fell p>
“A mouse? There shouldn’t be any mice here.” Their upscale residential area was well-maintained, with regular pest control, making the presence of mice unlikely.
Then the servant appeared with a toy mouse, adding, “This might be what Miss Mitchell saw p>
Maggie paused, realizing the toy in the servant’s hand was one of Lena’s toys, looking deceptively real from afar.
Maggie faced Monica, feeling remorseful.
While everyone was distracted by the toy mouse, Monica’s eyes briefly flashed with a hint of satisfaction.
Maggie was taken aback when she spotted the toy mouse. Speaking slowly, she began, “Isn’t this…” It was Lena’s toy, but she left her sentence hanging.
Monica gave Maggie an innocent look and explained, “I don’t know what happened. It just started moving. I thought it was real and got so scared p>
Maggie replied apologetically, “I’m sorry, Monica. That’s actually Lena’s toy. I have no idea how it ended up here p>
Monica, appearing surprised, reassured her, “It’s okay. I don’t think Lena did it intentionally p>
Grateful for Monica’s understanding, Maggie said, “I’m sorry you were hurt. I’ll make sure to keep a closer eye on Lena to prevent any more incidents p>
After a pause, Maggie added, “We’ll take full responsibility for your injury p>
“It’s okay, I fell on my own,” Monica responded.
