Dalton replied coldly .

Im more familiar with these ingredients than anyone .

Brian was still clueless about what was going on .

But Mr.

Dalton continued , I despise deception and illegal activities .

Ariana , what have you done ? Brians voice was filled with fury as he turned on her .

Ariana feigned her innocence and said , Mr.

Lodge , what does this have to do with me ? Mr.

Dalton left on his own .

I was defending you the entire time .

Could it be that youve done something to upset him ? Brian furrowed his brow .

Ariana turned to him with an innocent expression and asked , Is there something else you need , Mr.

Lodge ? Brian stood up and walked toward her , his hands moving to adjust her maids uniform .

I havent given you permission to change .

As long as youre in this house , you remain as a maid .
