The Supreme Edwin James Revenge

Chapter 6

She was startled. Grace had been serving the Whyte family right from when she was a child, and thus, she was the longest-serving servant.

Nobody had ever dared to talk back to her. Talk less of talking to her in the manner and tone that Edwin just did.

Her startled face soon dissipated into one of rage. The anger added to the wrinkles that scattered throughout her skin. "Are you out of your mind, young man?" She growled.

The halls were already getting filled up. Servants left their positions just to watch what was going on. "Who's that?" One of the servants inquired.

"I think it's a new worker. And he already had a problem with Madam Grace. Doesn't he know who she is?"

"You just said that he is new. So how's he supposed to know?" Another hissed.

"But certainly. His stay in the Villa is going to be very short. Madam Grace is treated with so much respect by the heiress because of her age. If Madam Grace wants anyone gone, then she is going to see to it!" The other worker proclaimed.

"Seems you're the one out of your mind, with all due respect, Grandma. You aren't a god. At least not yet. Even though you're closer to that. You should calm down."

A wave of shocks ran through the spines of everyone present. They could not believe those words, not especially to the almighty Madam Grace.

Her face turned grim. The rage was boiling over.  Everyone gasped. "Did he just talk back to Madam Grace?"

"You heard right!" Another mentioned.

"You!" Her shaky fingers were pointed off towards him. Her annoyance was beyond anything that anyone could comprehend. "I'm going to make sure that you eat your tongue for those words!" She growled.

Without much, she left the hall. Most people were already aware of what she intended to do. This wasn't the first time that her acts were being displayed.

They expected that Edwin was going to run away right after that. Even though he didn't know much about Madam Grace, at least he was supposed to be aware of how powerful and disciplined the Whyte family was. And what they could easily do to anyone who crossed their path.

Their faces were left pale with shock when, after a few moments, Edwin's feet remained rooted to the ground.

They could not express their emotions anymore. Their lungs were dry of words. They had experienced too many shocks all in one day. "Poor soul. Seems he is ready for the worst that is to come. But he doesn't realize what is coming for him. Or he would have been out of this place already."

And just as they had already envisioned, a group of guards made their way into the place.

Madam Grace's slack fingers pointed off towards where Edwin stood.

Most of the workers shook their heads. Madam Grace was a tyrant, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

When the guards tried to get a hold of Edwin, he easily shook them off. Madam Grace's face deepened, hitting the guards with her kicks, "Lazy pricks. How can a man who isn't even half your size throw you off so easily? As though you're nothing?" She kicked them multiple times in their stomach, forcing them to stand.

The workers watch the movie on full display with a rising sense of excitement. This was the first time there was a turn of events, even though the ending was going to be just the same.

With the numbers dwindling by the day, there were still over a thousand trained guards in the Whyte villa. Each of these is grouped into sects and has its ranks.

The guards being tossed by Edwin were lowly guards who were supposed to serve meals.

"You all are useless." Madam Grace got out to get more guards. They trooped into the kitchen in their Numbers.

The workers who watched the show soon had their emotions dwindle. The tension in the room increased.

There was no way that Edwin could escape from this now. Most of them were already turning around to leave.

Madam Grace had a broad smile on her face. "No one can mess with me and.." A stale voice cuts through her words.

"What's going on here?" The breathtaking Clara made an entrance into the hall.

Clara's face, twisted with scorn, was revealed. But in her moment of excitement, Madam Grace had not even noticed.

She quickly switched her mood into one that was about to burst into tears, her hands pointed off towards Edwin. "I was only trying to show him around since he is new here. But instead, he mistook it for me being nosy and insulted me."  A strand of tears escaped from her eyes as she turned over to the rest of the workers.

"You all saw what happened, right?" They didn't dare to say no, quickly nodding their heads.

Going into Madam Grace's bad book was the worst thing that could happen to anyone, and the workers wanted to avoid it as much as possible.

And besides, with or without their opinion,  Miss Clara was going to fall for her tricks as always.

Madam Grace hid to put a smile on her face. Suppressing it as Clara walked forward towards them.

She paused first at Edwin before Madam Grace. The smile almost tore right through her face. "Clara even wants to apologize to me. It's all over for  that son of a bit*h." The thoughts caused butterflies in her body.

A loud bang was heard. A slap from Clara was imprinted into the face of Madam Grace, causing her to freeze on the spot, and a cold chill ran through her spine.  Her heart wavered in astonishment as she never thought this day would come.
