Hearing that reasoning from Kyle, the workers looks at the youngest maid which is the one who served the snacks to Anna. Out of all the workers who work in the kitchen, she is the only youngest of them all.
Noticing the stares of the other workers on her a frown was shown on her face."What? Just because I'm the youngest that works in the kitchen, that doesn't mean I'm the one who did it. There are other maids who are of the same age as me who works outside the kitchen." The maid is trying her best to show that everybody is ganging up on her and that she is being treated unfairly by everyone.
She is confident that Kyle will take pity on her and take her side. After all, she thinks that people like Kyle likes girls who are innocent and all, and if she acts innocent in front of him, she will have Kyle's attention. That is one of her goals she wanted to achieve today.
"I don't care if you are not the only youngest maid in the mansion!" Marcus said in an enraged tone. The moment he saw the footage, he was enraged and wanted to punish all the young maids in the mansion. But knowing that his granddaughter will strongly against it, Marcus will have to do the long run instead.
"B-but elder master..." The made wanted to say more, but Marcus glared at her. That glare forces her to shut up. No matter how confident she is with her plan, she is still not confident enough to face Marcus whenever he is enraged. She is too powerless to fight back against Marcus Coleman, but she is sure that once she caught the attention of her target, Marcus Coleman will be an easy feat for her to fight back without fear.
"Michael!" Marcus called out his right-hand man who is standing not so far away from them. Michael stepped forward and waited for Marcus' command. "I want to gather up a few people, search every worker quarters and find that container. Once you find it, tell me who is the idiot staying in that room, so that I can punish that idiot myself."
Marcus' words terrified the workers who heard it. They know that Marcus is not kidding; the workers may not know that the Coleman family is running an underground organization, but they do know that when it comes to punishment, the Coleman family is serious about it.
They know that they are a ruthless family, and yet, they still work for them. As long as they don't make any Coleman members angry they won't get punished, besides the Coleman family treats them very well despite the coldness they are emitting.
"Yes," Michael said and without wasting any more time, he went and started to search for every room. It might take some time, but it is worth it as long as he can find the idiot who dared to hurt the precious princess of the Coleman family.
Seeing that Michael is on the move, the maid tightly turns her hands into a fist. Anxiousness and fear are starting to fill her up; the container that she used last night to tamper the flour is still in her room. She totally forgot to throw it away while no one was around last night.
The only good thing that she is clinging on is the fact that her room is the furthest one and that she has time to throw it away while everyone is busy searching for the container. Feeling that everybody is treating her like air now, the maid discreetly walks away from the crowd and hurriedly walks her way towards her room.
Unfortunately for that maid, Anna saw her walking away in a hurried pace. Suspicion arose inside her. Even though her body is too weak to stand properly, Anna still manages to force herself to follow the maid. But after taking a few steps, Kyle stopped her.
"What are you doing? It's clear to me that your body is weak, so if I were you I would stay still until my body is recovered." Kyle has no idea what is on Anna's mind, but at the moment, he does not care, all he wants for Anna is rest her weak body.
"That maid from earlier, she's moving too suspiciously, I want to follow her." Anna is having a hunch that the maid who just sneakily left has something with tampering the flour.
Kyle looked straight into Anna's eyes and noticed that no matter what he will say it doesn't matter because Anna will still follow the maid. Sighing deeply, Kyle gave in and help Anna walk properly as they discreetly followed the maid. It's a good thing that they are still able to catch up with her or else Anna and Kyle would not be able to find anything.

The maid finally reached her room, and the first thing she did is grabbing the container that she used last night. She also grabbed a cloth to wrap around the container just in case she runs into someone, they won't be able to find out that she is the culprit.
Without making too much noise, the maid hurriedly left her room and went straight forward the backdoor of the mansion to throw the container. But before she could even step and inch toward the door, Kyle held her wrist tightly.
The maid winced in pain and saw that her wrist turned bright red. She was about to shout at the person who made her feel pain, but when she saw that it was Kyle, her face turned pale.
Before she could even say a word, someone took away the wrapped container and that someone was Anna. Anna removed the cloth and rage were burning inside her when she saw the tag on the container.
Without any hesitation, Anna slapped her in the face twice. "Just like what grandfather said, you truly are stupid." She said in a cold tone of voice. "If you're going to scheme on someone, then plan it perfectly, not like this. You're gonna throw away the evidence just when someone is searching for it? You should have threw this away the moment you have done your goal last night. But with that stupid mind of yours, I think I can understand a little bit."
Anna's voice was full of mockery and anger. She can't believe that there are people like the maid in front of her in the world. Evidence is the most crucial thing to find the suspect, and yet this maid, can't even make such simple action like erasing every evidence that could pinpoint towards her.
'Stupid.'
