Karin dropped her head and said, âThe woman put up a struggle on our way here, causing a minor car accident.
I was careless and may have administered too much injection.
Sheâ¦â
âIâll go in and have a look.
â
Karin halted her.
âIs Miss Hernandez aware that you came here alone tonight?â
Eleanorâs face darkened in annoyance.
Melody usually had more authority and often bossed Eleanor around.
Even after Melody returned to Stastle, her subordinates still felt entitled to give her orders?
She and Melody were partners, not boss and employee.
She didnât see any reason why she had to report everything to her.
Eleanor got more infuriated as she thought about this.
She glared at Karin and snapped, âLess talk and more work.
Melody isnât in Forden, so you just need to follow my orders.
Is that clear?â
Karin lowered her head and replied meekly, âYes, I understand.
â
âNow that youâve completed your task, you can leave,â Eleanor ordered.
âGot it.

Karin nodded, but didnât move.
Outside the abandoned house, the only source of light was a flickering kerosene lamp.
It was difficult to see Karinâs expression through the blood on her face.
Frustrated with Karinâs hesitation, Eleanor snapped, âDo you not understand me?â

âSorry.
â Before she took her leave, Karen pulled out a mobile phone from her pocket and gave it to Eleanor.
âThis is her phone.
She had a call earlier, but I put the phone on flight mode to prevent it from interfering with your plan.
â
âOkay,â Eleanor replied snappishly, snatching the phone from Karinâs hand.
Karin left and immediately, Eleanor turned on the phone to check who called.
Eleanorâs eyes blazed with rage.
Although it was just a number, she knew exactly who it was.
It was Nathaniel, and he had called Lucinda at this late hour.
Eleanor couldnât help but wonder why Nathaniel had never called her despite her being back in the country for so long.
Every time they spoke, it was she who had to initiate the conversation.
Why did he treat this bitch so differently?
