Graham Ma skillfully opened the safe in Trupay's study, and then she took out a few Jewelite pendants and two bundles of cash from it.
Graham Ma's face could not help but reveal a look of excitement, but soon, this excitement turned into hesitation and her face paled.
After thinking about it, Graham Ma put the Jewelite pendant back, leaving only one piece behind.
Then, Graham Ma closed the safe.
After standing in place and hesitating for a moment, Graham Ma then gritted her teeth and turned around to leave, however, just as she turned around, she saw that two people were actually standing at the entrance of the study at some point, but it was Wendell and Trupay.
"Swish!" In a flash, Graham Ma's face immediately turned pale, and her whole body fell into extreme fear and panic, with a strong look of shame in her eyes.
Graham Ma's body trembled, and her body shook a few times, almost not falling to the ground.
"Elam, Chief Elam ……" Graham Ma wanted to open her mouth to explain, but after opening her mouth, she could only give a dry, deflated cry before she could no longer say anything.
Looking at her like that, she was simply dying of shame!
Trupay was incomparably disappointed, as she looked at Graham Ma and couldn't help but sigh, "Graham Ma, I really didn't expect that you would actually do such a thing!"
"Ms. Elam ……" Graham Ma's voice was trembling a bit, but she didn't know what to say, she had been caught stealing by Trupay, now there was no use for her to say anything, moreover, she really had nothing to explain.
"Graham Ma, I have always thought that you were an honest and proper person. Ever since you came to our house, you have done the same, you are honest and hardworking, and I have never looked down on you, but I didn't expect that you were hiding it so well, I didn't even notice it for so long, you actually ……" Trupay sighed lightly and didn't say any more.
She was really disappointed, originally she had great trust in Graham Ma, sometimes she treated her as if she was her own family member instead of treating her as just a nanny. Even Jenny dear, who didn't even know that Graham Ma was the family's nanny, still thought that Graham Ma was their family member.
If she didn't think so highly of Graham Ma and trust her words so much, Trupay wouldn't have felt comfortable leaving Yoyo in her hands. In the past, when Trupay went out, she always asked Graham Ma to look after Jenny dear, precisely because Graham Ma was very proper.
If she had been replaced by someone less reliable, what if she had kidnapped Yoyo? Or what if she had stolen something from the house?
To be able to leave Yoyo in Graham Ma's care with done confidence was a kind of trust in itself.
However, Graham Ma had betrayed Trupay's trust. First, she suddenly left Yoyo alone at home without caring, and left without even telling Trupay. And now, she had actually become a thief again, and had opened the family safe so skillfully.
If she hadn't kept an eye out before, how could Graham Ma have known the combination to the safe?
It was evident that Graham Ma was afraid that she had already started preparing a long time ago, for today.
Graham Ma's face turned white at Trupay's words, and her whole body could barely stand up, her eyes were both ashamed and embarra_sed, and she even almost cried out.
Seeing this, Trupay did not want to say anything else.
She shook her head and said, "Put all the things in your hand back, seeing as you did your best to take care of Jenny dear before, I'll pretend that I didn't see this matter, but you can't continue to stay in this house in the future, leave the key behind, I'll settle your salary ……"
"Ms. Elam!"
Graham Ma suddenly exclaimed, "Chief Elam, don't fire me, please ……"
"Keep your voice down!"
Trupay's face was chilly, "Do you want to wake up Jenny dear? She was already terrified from being left at home, let her sleep peacefully, okay?"
Graham Ma's voice immediately stopped abruptly, but tears flowed down uncontrollably.
"Elam, Ms. Elam, please don't fire me, I, I can't help it if I do this!" Graham Ma whimpered, but did not dare to speak any louder.
"There's no way out?"
Trupay shook her head, "I didn't force you to do this …… Graham Ma, don't pester, let's go."
With that, Trupay took two steps forward, took the things from Graham Ma's hand, and pulled out a stack of notes from the two bundles of cash and handed them to Graham Ma.
"These are enough for your salary, keep the extra ones too." Trupay said.
She didn't want to argue with Graham Ma about anything, originally she still saw her as family, but the way Graham Ma acted today made Trupay only see her as an ordinary hired hand, then there was nothing more to say.
However, Graham Ma's reaction was very fierce, only to see her flopping down and kneeling down at once, crying, "Ms. Elam, I really have no choice, please forgive me this time, I beg you ……"
"You ……" Trupay was instantly furious, "Graham Ma, it's useless for you to say anything, I really don't dare to keep you anymore, go away!"
"Ms. Elam, I know you are a good person, please be kind, if you kick me out, my son will be dead." Graham's mother begged, "Ms. Elam, please ……"
Trupay, however, frowned slightly.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're doing.
"…… What's wrong with your son!" After a long time of silence, Trupay only opened her mouth to ask.
Graham's mother's face instantly flushed with joy as she said in a panic, "Ms. Elam, my son is being locked up, saying that he owes money, if I don't see the money by tomorrow morning, my son's life will not be saved ah, Ms. Elam, I really didn't mean to steal anything, I went to sell blood, but they only gave me a few thousand dollars, I can't help it, I really can't help it ……"
Saying that, Graham Ma rolled up her sleeve, and as expected, there was a needle hole on her arm with a blood crust on it, obviously it had just been stabbed not long ago.
"You get up and talk first!" Trupay was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently.
Wendell was beside him, helping Graham's mother to stand up.
"Isn't your son in college? Who does he owe money to?" Trupay asked.
"I don't know." Graham Ma said.
"You don't know?" Trupay was stunned, "You don't even know who your son owes money to and you ran off to sell blood?"
"I only know that that person is the owner of an arcade near my son's college, and I don't know his name." Graham's mother said in a panic, "My son was just held up by him, they beat him up all over his body ah ……"
Trupay and Wendell looked at each other, both of them immediately understood, Graham's mother's son, obviously lost in the video game city gambling, as a result, owed a lot of money, people are detaining people waiting for money.
In fact, the so-called arcade nowadays is no longer the game hall it used to be in the nineties. The vast majority of arcade nowadays are slot machines and gambling machines, which, to put it bluntly, are gambling establishments that sell dog meat on a sheep's head.
Don't underestimate this kind of place, the amount of money gambled here can be large or small, and there are even many people who can lose all their money here overnight.
Apparently, Graham's mother's son had lost a lot.
"How much money did your son owe to others?" Trupay asked.
"They said that my son lost 20, 000 ……" Graham Ma's tears came down again.
Trupay nodded her head and said, "20 thousand, just 20 thousand."
And then, she put both bundles of cash on the table and said, "Here is 20, 000, take it and pay it back for your son, leave the key behind and be good to yourself in the future!"
"Ms. Elam ……" Graham's mother didn't want to give up yet, "My son's living expenses, all depend on my salary, please ……"
"Having a son like that is better than not having one at all!" Trupay said, "I wouldn't dare to use you again, there's a first time and a second time, I'm afraid you'll sell Yoyo!"
Graham Ma had nothing more to say.
Trupay had already said this much, she knew it was useless to beg any further, so she could only give Trupay a bow, "Ms. Elam, thank you!"
"Go away!"
Trupay waved her hand, her face calm.
Graham's mother's heart was bleak despite the life-saving money she had received, and she walked out in a downcast manner.
"Wait a minute." Trupay suddenly said.
Graham Ma's face suddenly changed slightly, did Trupay regret it?
"Wendell, it's not too safe for her to carry so much money alone at this late hour, why don't you see her off for a bit." Trupay said.
Wendell nodded and gave Trupay a very meaningful look.
Trupay was, indeed, a good woman.
This was the deepest understanding Wendell had of Trupay through this matter.
She was good-natured, affectionate, and decisive, never dragging her feet, and very thorough in her considerations. More importantly, she is not cold.
To be able to get such a woman, Wendell felt that it was his luck.
His heart was suddenly free of burdens, getting Trupay was a wise choice for him and should not be a burden on his heart!
Perhaps ……
Trupay would also be a good helper for him, Wendell was lucky!
"Let's go."
Wendell said, "Don't forget to leave the keys!"
"Drive carefully on the way, I won't send you down." Trupay came to Wendell and gently tidied up his clothes, the affection in those beautiful eyes, even a blind person could see it, and she didn't mind at all showing her emotions in front of Graham Ma, Wendell was the one she loved, so what if she was adopted by Wendell on the outside?
After so much experience, she doesn't care what others think!
