**Judy’s POV**

“Judy! We are so glad you decided to move in as well!” Meredith said, smiling as she welcomed us at the doorway. Kelsey stood beside her, her arms crossed with a big grin on her face.

She stood with her arms crossed over her chest, glaring at me. I tried hard not to meet her gaze. I really didn’t want to be there, and the less I had to talk to her, the better.

“It’s not…”

“I had a choice,” I murmured, not really thinking about it.

My mother nudged me in the side and shot me a pointed look.

“She’s joking, of course,” she said, forcing a laugh that sounded very fake.

I had never heard anything like it. She walked over to Meredith, giving her a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. “Thank you so much for your hospitality,” she said.

“Of course! That’s what friends are for,” Meredith replied, smiling warmly.

Her eyes darkened as she glared at me from behind my mother’s shoulder. “How about I show you to your room?” she asked.

“That would be great,” my mother replied, looking at the bags we had left at the doorway.

“Don’t worry about them. I’ll have the butler bring them to your room,” she said, glancing at the butler. He nodded and picked up my mother’s belongings.

As Meredith led her away, she looked back at Kelsey.

“Can you be a little more supportive?”

“Dear, can you show Judy where she’ll be staying?” Meredith asked, her gaze focused on her daughters.

Kelsey smiled, but I felt a knot of worry in my stomach.

“I’d be happy to,” Kelsey replied.

Kelsey winked at her mother before turning to face me. Her eyes grew darker as she said, “Come with me.”

I swallowed hard and picked up my bags that were left by the door. I followed Kelsey through the mansion in silence, neither of us saying a word.

I wish I could say I was shocked when we got close to the servants’ quarters, but I wasn’t. I had expected to stay with the maids and other helpers.

She opened the door.

She walked through the laundry room until she reached the other side. Pushing the door open, we stepped into what looked like a small living room. However, it had a strong smell of mildew, just like the laundry room. The space was dimly lit, with only a few flickering lights illuminating the area.

The place was dimly lit. The couch looked like it had been pulled straight from a dump, and the small kitchen nearby had old appliances that seemed like they might spark if turned on.

The rug was stained, and the wallpaper was peeling. This part of the manor definitely did not look well cared for.

The place felt off.

A few women stood nearby, and when they noticed Kelsey, they quickly straightened up and waited for her commands.

Kelsey looked at them with a fierce glare, as if they were nothing more than old bags she had once stepped on.

“What do you think you are doing?” she asked through clenched teeth. “There was dirt in the front foyer, and you are in here doing nothing? Do you both need to be punished again?”

“No, ma’am,” one of the maids said, looking down at the ground. “We were just taking a break. We had been working all night and all day without a single pause…”

“Do I look like I care?” Kelsey snapped. “Get back to work, you useless slaves!”

The others nodded and quickly left the living room. I stared at Kelsey in disbelief. I couldn’t believe she had the nerve to speak to them like that.

She spoke to her workers in a way that made me uncomfortable. At just 18 years old, it seemed she had picked up this behavior from her mother. The thought of it made me feel sick, and I wanted to confront her. But I hesitated, unsure of how to approach the situation.

I wasn’t sure what to say. I didn’t want to create any problems for my mother because I knew that would only lead to more issues.
