At the same time, Rose studied Monica nervously. Perhaps no one would understand how she was feeling right now. Just as she was still immersed in her distress, Monica spoke.
“Not at all.”
Rose took a deep breath. Monica did not seem to know what had happened. Or perhaps she did not intend to find fault with their family. Could it be because she had no evidence?
Rose frowned. She wanted to ask this woman about her intentions but couldn’t. It might raise Monica’s suspicion toward her. Monica might have come today to test her.
When Rose thought about this, she was reluctant to speak to Monica any further. She merely nodded.
“Thank you for making an effort to come.”
Monica glanced at Rose with an amused face.
“Why are you unwilling to talk to me any further? Are you feeling guilty?”
Rose’s heart skipped a beat. She almost displayed fear on her face. She tried to look aloof and frowned. She gave Monica a puzzled look.
“What do you mean? Why would I feel guilty? Why do you still look unsettled after punishing us for the huge uproar last time? Are you still angry about the past?”
Rose looked so unhappy that anyone would have thought that she really didn’t know anything.
Monica nodded with a smile. “The heavens are watching. Retribution will come sooner or later. I hope you can keep up with your pretense. My son does not fancy putting up fights, so he is willing to let you go. But I am not so generous. I shall let you go this time, but if there is another time, don’t blame us for being cruel. ”
Rose’s face turned uglier. She looked a little pale. She was obviously startled by Monica’s words. As expected, the whole family knew that Norman had been up to some mischief.
