"What?"
Claude stepped out of his room, passed by the butler, flung open the grand doors of the villa, and walked out.
The butler's eyes widened, and after a moment, he stammered, "The young master... he’s left the villa!"
Morwenna was shocked.
She knew how much Claude hated being seen in public.
He hardly ever left his room, let alone the villa.
Suddenly, Morwenna realized something and quickly said, "Butler, it’s raining outside!"
The butler exclaimed, "Ms. Winslet, I must go. I need to get the young master an umbrella."
The call ended.
Morwenna felt uneasy.
Why would Claude go out in the middle of the night? Was it because of her?
Meanwhile, the butler, umbrella in hand, hurried outside, covering a drenched Claude from the rain.
"Young... young master, what’s going on? What happened?"
"Nothing much, just needed some air. Tell the Hetfield family that I'm entering showbiz."
"But, young master, your health..."
"Enough, do as I say."
"Understood."
Morwenna lay down, her mind filled with unease.
The next morning, she saw a message from Claude.
