But Rebecca couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
At the end of the day, she was just a maid.
Besides, as long as Rebecca stayed away from the estate, she wouldn't have to see Emma's face. It wasn't worth wasting her breath.
Rebecca narrowed her eyes, her gaze turning cold. "Emma, you'd be wise to watch yourself."
With that, she turned to leave the garden.
Emma glared at Rebecca's back, feeling resentful and furious.
"Hmph, no wonder the Old Master and Mrs. Austin can't stand you. You're the most arrogant 'young mistress' I've ever seen."
Growing angrier, Emma spat in the direction of Rebecca's retreating back and muttered a curse under her breath.
However, this scene was witnessed by Jonas, who happened to be passing by.
The sight of the young lady made Jonas's heart pound with excitement.
He wanted nothing more than to rush over and catch up with her.
But he couldn't stand to see anyone bullying her, especially not this maid.
He marched up to Emma and yelled, "You're a maid! Is that how you treat a guest?"
Rebecca stopped in her tracks when she heard Jonas's voice.
Jonas strode toward Emma, pointing an accusatory finger at her. "I'm talking to you! What was that foul language you were just spewing?"
Emma jumped, startled by Jonas's appearance. "I... I didn't say anything!"
Jonas clenched his fists. "Still denying it? I saw you spit at her! How dare you treat my young lady like that? Are you looking for a fight?"
With that, Jonas raised his fist.
