Jenny felt both heartbroken and furious.

money

“You fool!” She slapped the glass in frustration. “I knew it. You must’ve taken Hannah’s and covered for her when she pushed Ms. Harlow. That’s why she dares to dump the theft on you now, like it’s nothing. Was it worth it? All this just for a small amount of money?”

Elodie’s shoulders shook. She buried her head even lower and forced out a hoarse reply, barely audible. “Jenny … you don’t understand…”

“I don’t understand?” Jenny’s eyes reddened with anger. “You’re just short–sighted. You can’t see how twisted rich people are. All I know is this–your mother will be the one who suffers the

most.

“I went to the hospital a few days ago to pick up medicine. I saw your mom there. She’s younger than me, but more than half her hair has turned white. She could barely stand. She was seeing a heart doctor.”

“What?!”

Elodie jerked upright as if shocked by electricity.

All the emptiness on her face vanished, replaced by raw panic.

“My mom is sick? Heart problems? I … I didn’t know! Why didn’t I know?”

Jenny looked at her pale face and sighed.

“You’re locked up. Cut off from the outside. How would you know?

“I heard that bag is worth hundreds of thousands. If they really dig into it, you’ll have to pay it back. I wonder if the money you took is even enough to keep your family afloat.”

Hundreds of thousands.

The number hit Elodie like a thunderbolt.

When Hannah handed her the money, Elodie thought it was easy cash.

At worst, she figured she’d spend a short time in detention.

But now she wasn’t just charged with hurting someone. She was being blamed for theft too.

Worst of all, her mother had fallen ill because of her.

Only then did Elodie truly understand how serious everything had become.

“Time’s up,” the guard said from the side.

Seeing the visit about to end, Elodie lunged forward and pressed herself against the glass.

“Jenny, please help me!” Her voice broke as she cried. “Please contact Ms. Harlow for me. I have something very important–really important–I need to tell her. I’m begging you!”

Jenny looked at her lost expression, let out a heavy sigh, and slowly nodded. Then she turned and walked away.

As soon as Jenny stepped back into the Rowe Villa, before she could even catch her breath, a soft voice drifted out from the shadows by the entryway.

“Jenny, you went to see Elodie, didn’t you?”

Hannah was leaning against the archway to the living room, a knowing smile on her face.

Jenny’s heart skipped.

How does she know?

Does she really have eyes everywhere in this house, tracking even a short trip out?

The panic lasted only a second. Years in the kitchen had taught Jenny how to stay calm under

pressure.

She steadied herself and quickly put on an indignant look, deciding to admit it outright.

“Yes, Ms. Gray,” she said, dropping her grocery bags to the floor with a heavy thud, as if venting her

anger. “I went to ask her straight up if she took Ms. Harlow’s bag and where she sold it.

“This is ridiculous. She’s the one who can’t explain herself, but now all of us are being treated like thieves, getting our rooms torn apart. When Mr. Rowe loses his temper, even us old workers could get fired. Of course I had to go ask her directly.”

Her voice was full of the grievance and anger of an ordinary worker. No matter how many informants Hannah had, there was no way they could have followed her into the detention center to hear what she and Elodie really talked about.

“Oh? Is that so?” Hannah clearly wasn’t fully convinced. She walked closer, eyes narrowing as she studied Jenny. “From what I remember, you and Elodie used to get along pretty well.”

“Get along?” Jenny snorted, her acting instantly kicking in. “She still owes me 10,000 dollars and hasn’t paid it back! She said her family needed money urgently, so I felt sorry for her and lent

son’s living expenses. Now she’s locked up, and the money’s gone too. I even went to

her hometown. Her parents played dumb and refused to admit anything. Just my luck.”

The story sounded detailed and convincing.

Seeing how Jenny’s face twisted with anger at the mention of money, Hannah’s doubts eased a little.

She didn’t press further. With a light “Alright,” she turned and walked gracefully toward the dining room.

Jenny watched her leave and quietly let out a breath, realizing her back was damp with sweat.

She quickly picked up the grocery bags and hurried back into the kitchen.

By lunchtime, the mood at the table was heavy.

Ethan was clearly still upset about the theft. He barely touched his food, slowly cutting his steak.

Hannah stirred the soup in her bowl, then casually looked up as if something had just crossed her mind. She asked in a curious tone, “Ethan, we have to dress pretty formally for a charity gala like this, right?”
