Caroline generously said, “Just change your tune in front of my mom. She’s still furious.”
Saying so, she walked outside, the servant trailing behind her.
As they walked, the servant asked, “If I may ask, what happened between Mr. Clark and Celine last night? It angered the madam, who drove Celine out, and Mr. Clark was taken to the hospital. Did Celine hurt Mr. Clark?”
The servant had not been working at the Fisher household for a long time, having started after Belinda became the head of the family. If Celine had harmed Hunter, it was certain the Madam would be furious.
“My mom doesn’t want you to know about these things. Don’t ask. Knowing too much won’t do you any good. I'm doing this for your own good.”
She smiled awkwardly and replied, “Thank you for the warning. Please go for your run. I’ll head to the kitchen to check on breakfast. I assure you that once you’re back from the run, you’ll have a hot breakfast waiting for you.
She stopped at the door, watching Caroline walk away, before turning back inside.
Caroline warmed up in the yard before jogging a couple of laps and headed toward the main entrance.
The gate was still locked.
Caroline had the key and unlocked it.
The sound of the gate opening startled Celine, who had been resting in a corner.
She lifted her head and saw the gate open. Immediately, she struggled to stand up. Whether it was from exhaustion or too many clothes, she found it hard to stand and stumbled a few steps, falling to the ground.
She landed at Caroline’s feet as if kowtowing.
Caroline stopped and looked down at Celine.
Struggling to sit up, Celine’s face paled when she saw it was Caroline. The next moment, Celine wished she could find a hole to bury herself in it.
Apart from a few potted plants, there was no place to hide at the entrance, let alone a hole to crawl into.
Caroline casually observed Celine’s panic.
