Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge-Chapter 135 - Scolded

"And how do we do that?" Asked April, she had prepared the roast beef and placed it into the oven. It would take hours to slowly cook and was one of her mother's recipes. She hadnt made it in a long time and she hoped that her father would remember her mother.

Bernie continued her thought, "Well let's let them into the Davis Manor and give them the grand tour. Be yourself and be humble and as gracious as always. But they will slip themselves up eventually. people can only hold in their true colours for so long."

April leaned on the kitchen counter and paused before adding "Mmm true they are greedy and not all that smart. Yes, they fooled me and my father for years but I think as I have woken up to their behaviour my father will too. Especially after we changed my father's tablets."

"What was wrong with the tablets he was on?" Bernie enquired.

Bernie had always had a unique relationship with the Davis family they made her part of the family whereas she knew from the other maids she met within the gated community that she was supposed to be seen and not heard.

She was glad that she lived with the Davis family. She had come to live with them shortly after Joseph had lost his wife and Dean had lost both of his parents. She hugged Dean when he had nightmares and brought Joseph Coffee into his office late into the evening.

She could and would never replace what they had lost but they became her family and she gave them what she thought they needed at the time. She gave them her care and attention with warm meals and a comforting word whenever she could.

"Rachel had got them for my father, I didnt think to query anything he was taking until recently. They were supposed to be herbal tablets for headaches and general aches and pains. But I took a few as a sample and gave them to Zane to test." April felt at ease with Bernie and so she was comfortable to open up to her. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

Bernie nodded and said, "Zane is a good boy. What did he find out?"

April sighed and continued her story, "He found that they were not herbal and actually quite dangerous if taken for a long period of time. It was making my father have intense migraines, making him lethargic and unable to concentrate on the smallest things."

Bernie nodded, "So the change in your father's behaviour alerted you, well done. Did your father believe you or what did you do?"

April nodded and continued the story"Well I didnt confront Rachel. Someone who can basically feed poison to my father is dangerous. I told my father and we swapped the tablets for actually herbal medication. It was the same shape and smell like the ones Rachel had given him."

April paused and added, "When I explained to my father he took in the information and he didnt seem surprised."

Bernie thought for a moment then added "Do you think he is aware?"

April took in Bernie's words before saying, "I dont know but it always confused me why my father kept Rachel around, he never seemed to love her."

Bernie nodded, "Your father is a businessman, he may be smarter than you think. Let Dean and Joseph speak to him later."

"What do they want to say to him?" April was not surprised at hearing that Dean and Joseph wanted to speak with her father.

Bernie held Aprils hand to reassure her, "Just a man to man talk. Let them, me and you have the two greedy gold diggers to deal with."

"You will help me?" April was happy she had Bernie on her side tonight. In fact, everyone that lived here was, the support felt comforting.

"Of course I will," Bernie said with certainty.

April smiled and came round the counter she hugged Bernie and thanked her, "Thank you for believing me."

Bernie was taken aback for a moment before she hugged April back and said, "No need to thank me, I will be here when you need me and even when you dont."

Just then April heard footsteps and she and Bernie stopped hugging and turned.

Bernie frowned and shouted, "Stop. Stop right there."

April laughed Joseph and Robert stood still at the sound of Bernie's voice. Robert and grandpa Joseph were both head to toe covered in mud.

April opened her mouth to ask and Robert stopped her and said, "Dont ask."

"I am cold and wet Bernie let me in to dry and get a shower, I cant meet April's father smelling like a lake."

Bernie chastised them both, "How did you both manage to fall in the lake together? Again?"

April laughed, she wished she had seen them. But she stopped laughing after she saw Grandpa Joseph frown.

"Walk around to the pool house and get a shower, I will bring you both some clothes over," Bernie announced.

Both Robert and Grandpa begrudgingly nodded and headed in the direction of the pool house. Once out of sight Bernie turned to April and added, "I bet the camera footage caught them falling into the lake, lets go check it out."

April smiled and laughed, "Lead the way."

Bernie then led the way to a room where a lot of computer screens were hooked up.

"Do you know what to do okay?" April asked Bernie.

"Oh yes, and I have saved the last time they fell into the lake on this disc I want to show you it first." Bernie then took the disc out of the case and inserted it into the disc drive.

April waited patiently but upon seeing the two men trying not to be pulled into the lake then them both going in together she couldn't help her laughter.

"I have a few more let's keep watching. Here pull up a chair.." Bernie sat down in front of the computer and offered April the chair beside her as she then fast forwarded the recording to see it again.
