“Ms. Carrie had been on a long vacation for most of the year, and she had just returned today. When she got back, she found no one at home, so she came over here to get the keys from her sister to unlock the door.”
He crafted a little lie.
Carrie preferred to keep her imprisonment a secret. When she was imprisoned, only the upper echelons of society were aware, and ordinary people would not have followed the details of Carrie's time in jail.
That was why Derrick fabricated this story.
The two security guards exchanged a glance.
Ms. Camryn’s younger sister?
They had not heard about Camryn having a sister.
They had seen Camryn’s brother and cousins, but they did not match the appearance of the two men standing before them.
These guards knew that Camryn had three aunts, but their relationships were not amicable. The two elder aunts had a poor relationship with Camryn and were not well-received, so they were never invited to the estate. Only Aunt Evelyn’s family had visited Wildridge Manor and were treated as esteemed guests.
“Please wait a moment, I’ll call the butler to have him ask Camryn,” said one of the men before heading to the security room.
The other guard brought three chairs and offered them to Carrie and her companions.
Though these guards were accommodating, Carrie was still dissatisfied. She chose not to sit and said, “No need for all this trouble. I’ll just head inside and find Camryn... my sister. I’ve been away from home for almost half a year, and when I got out, oh, I mean, when I got back, I discovered that she had gotten engaged to Callum. I was completely unaware.
