Caleb Adler returned from the pharmacy with medicine. The moment he stepped into the villa, he saw the plump housekeeper tearing into Joan Shaw.
He was furious. He strode over and stood in front of Joan Shaw.
"Housekeeper, that's enough. A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. She was the Xavier family's intended bride, after all. If you treat her like this now, be careful President Xavier doesn't change his mind later and hold it against you!"
Caleb Adler had a point. The plump woman immediately lowered her head, agreeing profusely. She offered a placating smile. "Well then, Assistant Adler, if you have no other orders for me, I'll take her away."
"You can get lost. She's staying."
"I don't think that's a good idea. President Xavier ordered me to discipline her..."
Caleb Adler wanted to say that helping Joan Shaw with her medicine was also Miles Xavier's order, but Miles had repeatedly emphasized that Joan wasn't to know. So, he swallowed his words.
