Yvonne didn't care. After breakfast, she prepared to take care of her own business.
"Good morning, Ms. Jones," a maid said as she came out of the master bedroom, forgetting to lock the door behind her.
"Jenny, the floor in my room is dirty. Could you clean it for me?" Yvonne asked.
"Of course. I'll go right now," Jenny replied, nodding eagerly. She was so flustered she completely forgot about the unlocked door.
Ever since Yvonne had sent Gina to prison, the household staff had treated her with a fearful respect.
Once Jenny was gone, Yvonne pushed open the master bedroom door and slipped inside. She went straight to the bed, lifted the pillows, and after a brief search, found two short strands of George's hair.
She placed the hairs in a small bag she'd prepared. As she turned to leave, she found Joseph standing right behind her.
The little brat stood with his hands on his hips, pointing a finger at her. "Yvonne, what are you doing sneaking into Mom and Dad's room? Are you trying to steal something? I caught you! I'm going to tell them so they can beat you to—ouch, ouch, that hurts! Let go!"
Before he could finish, Yvonne grabbed his ear and twisted, dragging him out of the room. "Listen here, you little punk, you better keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, I'll beat you senseless, dump your body in the wilderness, and let the wild dogs chew you up until there's not even a bone left."
She continued to threaten him as she pulled him by the ear, running right into Jenny in the hallway. The maid had just finished cleaning Yvonne's floor and remembered she'd forgotten to lock the master bedroom.
"Why are you staring at me instead of eating? Did you get into trouble again today?" George asked, his face stern.
"No, I didn't!" Joseph shook his head like a rattle. He then asked tentatively, "Dad, when you went to your room just now, did you notice if anything was missing?"
"No. Why?" George was completely bewildered.
Joseph was about to say more when Yvonne suddenly placed a large piece of meat in his bowl. "Eat up. You love this stew. I'm sure you haven't had enough."
Joseph met Yvonne's sharp, menacing gaze and immediately deflated. He lowered his head and focused on his food, not daring to utter another word.
