Chapter 9 - Framed 4

"Did you witness the fight between the second miss and the third miss?" the old man asked with an air of indifference not even bothering to glance at her. "Yes old master" "so, you must know the rules of this household...if I find out that you lied, I promise to make you suffer a fate worst than death" he was releasing a terrifying aura, the maid was so afraid, she could pee in her pants but thinking of the large amount she will be receiving as a reward, she immediately suppressed the stifling in her heart, clenching her fists...she raised her head with shiny eyes and spoke. "Old master, I went to the garden at the backyard to collect an ingredient essential for cooking because we ran out of it. That was when I saw second miss and third miss arguing. Third miss was begging her to stay away from a certain man that she could not afford to keep paying 'the blackmailer' in her words" Kahlan was shocked and confused... how on Earth did it turn out like this. She opened her mouth in disbelief to speak but she couldn't bring herself to say anything. She could only cry silently. " In response to what third miss had said... second miss slapped her and threatened her saying that if she dared to say anything or if the blackmailer releases some pictures that she will cut off her tongue and feed it to her." Mr Cypher sucked in a breath of cold air 'how vicious!' just like her mother. On the other end a certain Madam Cypher was smiling sinisterly, this maid is indeed useful. "Third miss, cried and stubbornly exclaimed that she wasn't going to pay the blackmailer... second miss pushed her to the floor and started hitting her. That was when I ran to report to the madam." She didn't forget to cast Phony in a beautiful light while making Kahlan a vicious witch. Before the old man could speak, Mr Cypher interrupted him "Father, we can't take this situation lightly". " Father, we still have proof.. the pictures." Madam Cypher said in a light tone, she was so gorgeous and lovable but to the old man...he wished he could shred her to pieces. Handing the pictures to the maid by her side to pass the old man. The room went back to utter silence, looking at the pictures the old man felt defeated. He thought he could protect her, but he was wrong. Taking the pictures out of the old man's hands, Mr Cypher stared at them with angst. At that moment madam Cypher fanned the flames at the side "Phony said she has been paying her classmates because she took the pictures and threatened to upload them on the internet, I can imagine what Phony has been through".
