"Take her to the steward, let her receive punishment before getting back to work."
Miles Hughes replied without looking aside, "Okay, young master."
Sylvia Lane watched as Maeve Lane was taken away by Julian Fairchild, wishing she could instantly switch bodies with Maeve!

"Miss Maeve will definitely become the second young mistress of the Fairchild Family." Miles corrected, "Your current mistake is—showing disrespect to the future family head's wife."
"You're just trying to scare me! What does a dog servant like you know? Have you asked Mrs. Fairchild for her opinion? I am the one most likely to marry into the Fairchild Family, to marry Julian!"
