Luckily, Reid discovered the fire early. It hadn’t spread far. Only the parts for ten wooden carts were burned.
As Rosalie looked at the blackened pieces, now burned to charcoal, she couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t an accident.
She walked to the corner of the yard and spotted a pile of discarded flints.
Rosalie crouched down and picked them up. They didn’t belong to her. That meant someone had been messing with things on purpose.
She handed the flints to Talia. Talia’s face turned serious as well. She hadn’t expected something like this would happen.
“We’ll investigate this thoroughly,” Talia said.
Rosalie nodded, but she knew the truth. It was nighttime. There were no witnesses. With only a pair of flints, finding the culprit would be extremely hard.
After seeing Talia off, Rosalie still couldn’t sleep. She and her husbands searched the yard for clues.
She also questioned Reid, who had first noticed the fire, but they found nothing useful.
Rosalie pressed her lips together, her brows drooping with exhaustion.
Leon gently rubbed her back and helped her back to her room.
Rosalie barely slept that night. The next morning, Faith arrived. She already knew about the fire. Faith carefully checked Rosalie from head to toe, only relaxing once she confirmed Rosalie wasn’t hurt.
They sat facing each other. Faith asked Rosalie to think carefully about whether she had offended anyone.
Rosalie had just arrived. She barely even knew everyone’s names. How could she have made enemies?
Offended someone…
Suddenly, a name flashed through Rosalie’s mind.
Sienna!
Since coming here, Rosalie had only argued with one person, and that was Sienna. If anyone was suspicious, it was her.
Rosalie shared her suspicions with Faith. She nodded slowly.
“If that’s the case, she really could be the one,” Faith said, her expression grave.
“But no one saw her do it. We don’t have proof.”
Rosalie’s eyes darkened. “That’s fine. If she dares to sabotage me once, she’ll do it again. I’ll catch her.”
Faith grabbed Rosalie’s hand, worry clear in her voice. “But that’s too dangerous. Why don’t you stay at my

Rosalie shook her head. “She set the fire last night because she wanted me dead. If Reid hadn’t gotten up, we might really have been killed.”
She continued calmly, “Since she failed this time, she’ll definitely try again.”
A determined light shone in Rosalie’s eyes. “I won’t put my life in her hands. If I do that, I’ll live in fear every day.
“I’ll catch her red-handed sooner or later.”
Since Rosalie was safe and resolute, Faith finally felt at ease.
She didn’t leave. Instead, she helped Rosalie assemble the cart. Once she learned how, Rosalie went back to shaping the wooden parts.
Everyone worked with clear roles. The progress was fast.
By noon, all the parts that had burned the night before were fully repaired.
Then, an uninvited guest arrived. It was Blake. Faith hadn’t gone home, so he came to fetch her.
Blake stood beside Faith and said stubbornly. “Why aren’t you home yet?”
