The week passed slowly, with Charlotte gradually recovering. Though her memory was still hazy, Ava stayed by her side, gently guiding her through the memory she had lost. It had been her top priority to care for the elderly woman and she did her job very well.
Meanwhile, George was also on the mend, the lashes on his back were healing and he could walk again. And just when things seemed to settle a bit, Claudia returned from the Juvie. She hadn’t lost her child despite the harsh training and discipline she endured but she had lost a lot of weight.
It’s almost like Alanis wanted to punish her, yet didn’t want her to lose the child still. At the moment, Claudia didn’t know what to make of the whole situation. She had no idea if this life was the reverse of the former. Maybe, just maybe, Alanis didn’t love her in this life and preferred Harlow.
But how could that be possible?
Elisa had been restless all week, desperately trying to figure out where Alanis had taken her daughter. She had checked every juvenile detention center in Halkhalls, but none of them admitted to housing Claudia. It infuriated her that Alanis had the power to make her daughter disappear without a trace. But now, she was finally home.
"Welcome back," Elisa said softly, her voice filled with relief as she took in Claudia’s exhausted form in a warm hug.
She reached for her daughter’s hand, holding it tightly as she led her inside the mansion. Claudia said nothing, her face unreadable, but Elisa didn’t care. She was just grateful to have her back. It was time they paid the Hamiltons back everything they did to her daughter.
At the top of the grand staircase, Frank stood watching his daughter step in. When he learned what Claudia had done to Charlotte Hamilton, there was little he could do to stop Alanis from punishing her. She had nearly killed a powerful figure in society, and Frank knew Alanis wouldn’t let that slide.
