Chapter 75: Friends Turns Out To Be A Foe...
"So where was your father?" Acantha heard her father ask Evander as they went inside the house while some people were fixing it.
"Ah, father has to meet someone important, as he said," Evander said as he took a sip of the coffee that was served to them.
"I was wondering where Mildred was." Acantha asked as she looked around and pretended to look for Mildred.
"I thought she was caught in the fire inside your room." She heard what her father said.
"I already checked Lady Acantha’s room, and there was no body that was found," Jarnus said as he looked at them, while Helion, on the other hand, was just quiet and seemed to be observing things.
Acantha saw at the corner of her eyes that Evander clenched his fist as he looked unease.
"She must be terrified, but how did she manage to get out if she didn’t go through the main door? I knew Mildred was terrified of heights, and jumping from the balcony won’t be a choice for her." Acantha said as she put her face on her hand as she acted like she was confused.
"M-maybe Mildred panicked and went down there," Evander said as he looked flustered at what he said.
He stood up as soon as he finished drinking his coffee and looked like he was in a hurry.
"I am sorry, but Father was expecting that I wouldn’t be long," Evander said as he was apologizing at them as he walked his way out of the house.
Acantha watched him, as he seems to be in a rush the way he walks out of the place.
