Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 361 361: Damned Maids!

In the dimly lit breakroom, a sense of unease hung in the air as Caleb, fueled by a determination to unravel the mystery surrounding Rose's death, gathered the maids for a crucial conversation.

"Alright, everyone, we need to figure out what happened. I need to know where each of you was when Rose died and what you were doing," Caleb stated, his tone serious.

Maria, one of the senior maids, spoke up first. "I was in the kitchen, preparing ingredients for dinner. Rose was helping me, and then she said she needed something from her room."

Caleb nodded, his focus shifting to the next maid. "And you?"

"I was on the second floor, cleaning the bedrooms," answered Emily, a young maid with a meticulous demeanor.

The conversation continued as each maid shared their alibi, providing a detailed account of their activities leading up to Rose's death. The room buzzed with their voices, creating a mosaic of timelines and actions.

As Caleb processed the information, his gaze fell on Rihanna, a maid known for her erratic behavior. "Rihanna, where were you at that time?" he inquired.

Rihanna hesitated before responding, "I was on the first floor, organizing the supplies."

Caleb raised an eyebrow. According to the schedule, Rihanna should have been on the second floor during that period. He had observed her deviation from the assigned tasks before but never questioned it until now.

"Rihanna, your schedule says you should be on the second floor at that time. Why were you on the first floor?" Caleb probed, his suspicion evident.

Rihanna stumbled over her words, attempting to provide an explanation. "I... I thought I heard something fall in the supply room, so I went to check."

Caleb's scrutiny intensified. The maids exchanged uneasy glances, sensing the tension in the room.

"I find it strange, Rihanna. You've been deviating from your schedule often lately, and now it coincides with Rose's death," Caleb remarked, his voice firm.

Rihanna found herself under scrutiny, accused of harboring dislike towards Rose. Maria, a longtime companion, voiced the suspicion. "I've seen the way you look at Rose, Rihanna. Don't act innocent."

Rihanna, her eyes wide with disbelief, vehemently denied the accusation. "That's ridiculous! I would never harm Rose. She was my friend!"

Katarina, known for her striking beauty, faced the next accusation. "You were jealous of Rose's beauty, weren't you? Admit it!" Emily accused, her tone accusatory.

Katarina, indignant, retorted, "Jealousy? I had no reason to be jealous. Rose and I were friends, and I admired her beauty just like everyone else."

Mica, who had been silent until now, chose this moment to speak. "You all are missing the point. Rose was messing around with Rihanna's boyfriend. That's a motive right there!"

The room tensed, the revelation hanging heavy in the air. Rihanna shot a glare at Mica. "That's a damn lie! Rose would never do that to me, and you know it."

Each maid vehemently denied the accusations thrown their way, their voices blending into a cacophony of frustration and defensiveness. The atmosphere, thick with distrust, mirrored the tangled web of emotions and secrets that now entwined their relationships.

Caleb, frustrated with the chaos, slammed his hands on the table. "Enough! This bickering won't get us anywhere. We need facts, not baseless accusations. If we're going to find the truth, we need to work together."

Despite Caleb's plea, the maids continued to exchange heated words, each defending their innocence while pointing fingers at others. The breakroom, once a sanctuary, transformed into a battleground of conflicting narratives.

Feeling the weight of their obstinacy, Caleb excused himself from the room, needing a moment to gather his thoughts and devise a new approach.

'Damned maids!'

As Caleb stepped out, the room descended into a tense silence. The maids, left to grapple with their suspicions and accusations.
