Chapter 278: Twelve Apostles
“Good morning, Mrs. Davis!” A passerby called out as they walked in front of a house with a women standing on the porch having just closed the front door.
The woman paid no attention until the friendly walker addressed her again, “Mrs. Davis? Lauren? How are you this fine day?”
Having assumed the appearance of her dead boyfriend’s mother, Constance suddenly realized Mrs. Davis was Lauren, and she was Mrs. Lauren Davis.
Constance turned around with a charismatic smile on her face as she waved, “The sun is shining, and the sky is blue. I haven’t seen a finer morning in weeks!”
“Ah hah! Right you are, Mrs. Davis! Are you headed to the market this morning? The Duke’s liaison is said to have a big announcement.”
Constance had assumed the appearance of Lauren in order to establish an alibi and confuse the timeline of the Davis family deaths, and showing up to a large gathering at the central market fit right into her plans perfectly.
“Why yes, I am headed there now actually. May I walk with you?” Constance said as she walked down the steps of the porch.
“I’d be happy to have you as company. Is Nathan around this morning?”
“I’m afraid David and Nathan are busy fixing a leaky sink all morning, so they won’t be making it.”
