Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 1148

Louis's sharp retort, while wrapped in layers of professional civility, left several of the directors looking thoroughly displeced. The underlying message was painfully clear: they were being told to mind their own business.

Murphy's clouded eyes flashed with a chilling edge. "I must say, I am deeply impressed by how remarkably bold the domestic staff at Ravenwood Manor are. Truly an eye-opening experience."

Louis offered a perfectly poised smile. "It is entirely due to our master's excellent guidance, sir. If one doesn't follow a truly capable leader, it is all too easy to be led astray. After all, the moment the real authority steps away, second-rate opportunists always try to act like they run the place. But a placeholder will always be a placeholder. no matter how hard they try, they can never match the real thing."

Though he knew it wasn't his place to spark a confrontation, Louis simply couldn't stomach their behavior over the past few days. The sheer hypocrisy was infuriating. The very instant the boss faced a minor setback, these opportunists leaped out of the woodwork, completely forgetting whose unmatched brilliance had filled their pockets with gold all these years.

Murphy fixed a razor-sharp glare on Louis. "A servant should remember his station and hold his tongue. Spewing reckless nonsense is a quick way to bring absolute ruin upon your master."

Remaining entirely unruffled, Louis stood his ground. "As a dedicated butler of the Foster family, I always maintain my station. However, unyielding honesty is also a standard we live by. Speaking the unvarnished truth is considered a virtue, is it not?"

"You!" Murphy spat, his eyes burning with intense fury.

"What seems to be the commotion here?" a mild voice smoothly cut through the tension.

Quivering with rage, Murphy snapped his gaze toward the entrance. "Derrick, your domestic staff possess astonishing audacity. To think a common servant lacks the basic decency to show proper respect to esteemed guests."
