There are a total of seven cars.
I know the last car. It belongs to Frances.
But what about the ones in front?
Old Mr. Louis stops, and he lets go of me with a frown.
I stare blankly at the cars until a few people get off.
I know all of these people.
They are directors of the Louis Group.
When I went to Frances' company, I saw them having a meeting in the conference room.
They get out of the car and glower at me.
I immediately understand that they have ill intentions.
Because of me, the Louis Group suffered such a big blow, so they won't let me off.
Looking at the sleeping Earl in my arms, I am afraid that what happens next will disturb his slumber. I hand him over to the babysitter, tidy his clothes, and walk out.
Frances also gets out of the car and walks towards me.
Frowning, he shakes his head at me and says, "Jane, get in the house."
I smile at him with a determined look.
The group of people is obviously here to launch a withering attack against me.
If I go in, won't they target old Mr. Louis and Frances?
I must face the consequences of what I've done.
Even though I'm a victim.
