Lionel commanded everyone to step outside. Instantly, the entire house erupted in chaos as people hurried out. Some even nervously identified themselves.
The woman knelt before him, a lilac cloak draped over a crimson dress that accentuated her delicate features, giving her an alluring charm. She had known something was amiss when her daughter was taken away today. Perhaps she had even anticipated her fate before that moment.
With Eleanor's downfall, it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.
"What's your name?" Lionel asked, his voice laced with barely contained anger.
"Casey Kingsley," she replied, her voice slightly husky yet undeniably enticing.
Lionel fixed his gaze on her. "When was the last time you saw my dad?"
"Yesterday afternoon," she answered. "He rested here for about two hours."
Lionel stared at her in disbelief, feeling as if he had been struck.
Yesterday? His dad had been here just yesterday?
He was the Civil Minister and had likely spent his lunch break at the ministry's rear courtyard, which meant…
"He came at noon?"
"Yes."
"How often does he come?" Lionel asked through gritted teeth.
With calm eyes, Casey responded, "Once every two days."
"That's impossible!" Lionel roared.
She looked up at him, unflinching. "If you don't believe me, ask anyone here. He comes to visit his daughter."
Lionel swept his gaze across the room, noting that everyone had knelt before him. They had just introduced themselves. There were eight maids, three young servants, two wet nurses, two guards, two coachmen, one head gardener, and four cooks. All of them were there to serve just this woman and her daughter.
