A Ruthless Wife Humiliated the Maid, Not Knowing She Owned the Entire Mansion — Part 2

Previously: When Evelyn mocked the quiet young woman scrubbing the mansion floor, she thought she was just putting a maid in her place. She had no idea she just signed her own divorce papers.

Evelyn’s face drained of color as she stared at her husband. She laughed nervously, trying to brush off his words as a bizarre joke.

"Edward, stop being ridiculous,"

she scoffed, stepping closer to him.

"It’s just a maid. Why are you making such a scene over a useless servant?"

Edward didn't back down. Instead, he walked past his wife, completely ignoring her outstretched hand. He approached Grace, knelt down on the damp marble floor—ruining his expensive suit trousers without a second thought—and gently took the sponge from her hand.

"I am so sorry, Grace,"

Edward whispered, his voice cracking with emotion.

"I should have never left you here alone with her."

Evelyn watched in horror as Edward helped the young woman in the brown dress to her feet.

The Secret Heiress

"What is the meaning of this?"

Evelyn demanded, her voice rising to a screech.

"Why are you treating her like royalty? She is a nobody!"

"She is the owner of this house, Evelyn,"

Edward revealed, his voice echoing through the vast foyer.

"And she is the majority shareholder of my entire firm."

The truth hit Evelyn like a physical blow. Grace was not a maid. She was Edward’s younger sister, a brilliant, reclusive tech genius who had co-founded the company that funded their entire lifestyle. Grace preferred a quiet, private life and had stayed at the mansion to oversee the restoration of their late parents' estate. She had decided to personally clean the foyer floor because it was where her mother used to display her favorite flowers. Evelyn had never met Grace because she had always refused to attend their lavish, superficial parties. Taking advantage of Edward’s absence, Evelyn had assumed the quietly dressed woman she found in the house was a newly hired maid, immediately subjecting her to days of verbal abuse and demanding manual labor.

"You thought you married into wealth, Evelyn,"

Grace said softly, speaking for the first time.

"But every single dollar you spent belonged to me."
