The moment Rosie spoke, the atmosphere in the car cto a standstill. The air turned frigid.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlyssa and Sean exchanged terrified glances. Alyssa then asked, "Mrs. Rosie, you said he's mentally disturbed... What do you mean?" Rosie felt a slight twitch around her eyes as if she had fallen into a deeply unsettling memory. She took a deep breath and explained, "I've been working with the Becketts for almost 30 years.
"Among all the staff at Seaview Manor, apart from Mr. Durham and Mr. Odom, who assists Mr. Javier, few have been here as long as I have.
"When I first joined the Becketts, I was tasked with serving Mrs. Beckett and Mr. Justin, though I wasn't their personal helper. I was simply following the lead helper, doing heavy manual labor like laundry. More conscientious tasks-pouring and serving tea and the like-were outside my job description then.
"Initially, I thought Mrs. Beckett didn't likebecause I cfrom a humble village and seemed careless. I later realized that her daily needs were handled by specific staff members-trusted individuals she brought with her from the Dutton family. Regular helpers from the Beckett family found it challenging to approach her." Sean looked perplexed. "Why was that? Did Mrs. Beckett have something shameful she needed to hide from the Becketts?" "Could it be that she was really mentally ill?" Alyssa recalled the speculation she and her brothers had made. The look in her eyes dimmed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRosie knitted her brows together tightly. "To be exact, Mrs. Beckett was a mad woman!" Alyssa and Sean could hardly believe their ears. "A mad woman?" "Mrs. Beckett had specific staff members who cared for her, and she lived alone in the villa behind Seaview Manor. It was only a matter of tbefore the truth cout.
"I heard her most severe episode was when she went berserk, unable to recognize anyone. She attacked one of the helpers bringing her food, biting a chunk out of her face. It was truly bloody and horrifying!" Sean's eyes widened in shock. "Was she even human? She just sounds like a—" He felt too ashamed to utter that word.
"This is a serious mental condition," Alyssa sighed helplessly. "At that point, she had lost her self-awareness and was hallucinating, displaying aggressive tendencies. She couldn't control herself anymore." Hearing this made her feel dreary. en.kikistories Caroline was already mentally unstable, and given that her husbandpletely despised her, it was understandable why she would ultimately lose control and take her own life.
"I've signed a nondisclosure agreement about this. It's been many years since Mrs. Beckett's passing, so I had originally planned to take this secret to my grave." Filled with worry, Rosie held onto Alyssa's hands so tightly that her fingers turned red. "But now, I must tell you everything I know. "Mr. Justin has likely inherited his mother's tendencies. Though he appears normal, he has violent tendencies that are even more terrifying than hers!" Alyssa's expression grew grave. She reached out to soothe Rosie's tense back. "Mrs. Rosie, there's something else you know, isn't there?" "It was over 20 years ago... Less than two years after Mr. Jasper joined the Beckett family. Once, it was my turn to deliver dinner to Mrs. Beckett at her villa." Rosie's face paled, and horrifying memories flooded back. "I saw with my own eyes... Mr. Just and killing a stray cat in the back garden! He was laughing while stabbed that poor animal with a dagger. I can never et that grin on his face. It shockedso much that I couldn't even move!" en.kikistories Sean shuddered at the thought, feeling chills run down his spine.
As for Alyssa, her chest tightened. Justin tortured and killed an animal? If she hadn't heard it from Rosie, she would never have imagined that the gentlemanly and elegant man could be inhumane and brutal.
"That wasn't the only animal he harmed at Seaview Manor. Mr. Durham has privatelyplained about digging up bloody parts of cats and dogs from the flower patch in the back garden every other day. It's clear that not only did he kill them, but he also dismembered them." en.kikistories Rosie's eyes widened in fear. "Madam, do you think a sound mind could do such things? How could he bear to do that?" Alyssa frowned and pursed her lips, falling into heavy silence.
