The servant didn’t know who Tobias was. Having worked here for many years, she was an expert in pleasing her employers, so she knew that bullying Skylar would make Irene, Hayden, and Avery very happy.

“I just threw them away, so it’s not like they’re dirty,” she rebuked.

Sensing Tobias’ displeasure, Thomas went to the shoe cabinet to personally take a pair of indoor slippers for Skylar. He even castigated the servant, “Can’t you do your job well? Didn’t I tell you to prepare some slippers for my daughter? Why did you give her shoe covers?”

The servant was given an earful by Thomas, but she couldn’t seem to remember him giving her that instruction. Furthermore, when Skylar came here the first time, he didn’t seem to have any objections when she gave her the shoe covers.
