"Ah! It's you. You scared me!" Aunt Mary's face showed a momentary panic, but upon realizing that there was no one else behind Sky, she quickly regained her composure.
"Mr. Xia has been in the hospital and won't be back for a while, and Master Li is on a business trip. There's nothing for me to do at home these days, so I came back. Master, you're very good at cooking, so you can cook for yourself, right?" Aunt Mary said, not waiting for Sky's response, and walked past him to the elevator with her bag.
Sky didn't say anything. He had long known that Aunt Mary had two different faces in front of others and behind their backs. Besides, he wasn't the real Mr. Li and didn't have the right to get angry with the Li family's servants.
However, before entering the house, Sky took another look at Aunt Mary. Wasn't her bag a bit too big?
But Aunt Mary had already entered the elevator and left, and Sky couldn't ask her about it anymore.
He didn't think much of it and casually opened the fridge to make himself a bowl of noodles. While cooking, Sky noticed a used medicine stove on the kitchen counter.
Since the last attack, Sky had been drinking the medicinal soup that Aunt Mary brewed for him almost every day. It was said that Mr. Xia had specially instructed Aunt Mary to make it for him.
But today, Sky didn't drink the soup.
However, he touched the small medicine stove and found that it was still warm.
Opening the lid of the stove, he saw various precious medicinal materials that had already been brewed, as well as a little bit of residual soup base.
It was obvious that the soup had just been brewed.
But the soup inside had already been poured out.
Sky frowned slightly.
He didn't drink the medicinal soup himself, but the residue in the stove indicated that it was freshly brewed today.
The only possibility was that Aunt Mary had secretly drunk it.
Sky had long seen Aunt Mary's disdain for him.
Sky didn't care whether Aunt Mary treated him like a master or not.
But the fact that the house had been robbed and the maid had secretly drunk the soup finally made Sky have an opinion of Aunt Mary.
Aunt Mary's behavior was too unscrupulous.
He could choose not to brew these things for himself, but she shouldn't have brewed them and then secretly drunk them.
While Dray and Mr. Xia were away, Aunt Mary did something on purpose.
Sky covered the lid of the medicine stove and decided to talk to Mr. Xia about it privately another day.

Sky was busy in the studio that day when the receptionist informed him that a client had specifically asked for him.
Sky had been working in the studio for some time and usually clients would look at his design portfolio and discuss design concepts before choosing him to work on their projects.
This was the first time a client had specifically asked for him upon arrival.
Sky took this seriously and brought his portfolio with him, and straightened his clothes before heading to the meeting room.
To his surprise, when he opened the door, Bella was sitting in a chair, dressed in a short dress and fur coat, looking glamorous and seductive.
"Sky, you finally came... What kind of attitude is this from your studio? I've been waiting for so long and no one even offered me a glass of water. If it weren't for our family relationship and my desire to help your business, I would have left already."
"Bella! How did you find this place?"
Sky's expression changed suddenly.
He didn't go to Bella, yet Bella had the audacity to come to him.
