Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307
“That’s good to hear.” Victoria looked relieved. “I made some watermelon jam. Do you want some, Lily?” she asked me.
“Everything is fine. I had dinner late today, so I’m not hungry.”
“I’ll get you some then, Ms. Hamilton.” She looked at Jolene.
“Thank you, Victoria.” Jolene agreed.
I went into the bedroom a moment after that, and Carson followed. “Something is wrong, honey.” He looked somber.
“What is it?”
“I think this whole dowry thing is a scam
“Huh?” I pretended to be shocked. “How do you know it’s a fake, honey?”
“Lily, I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, and nothing makes sense. If the guy really loves Eliza, why would he care if she has any dowries or not?”
“So Eliza won’t be mocked?”
“And you buy this? If that’s the case, why didn’t he just secretly give her the money? Since he is so rich, he doesn’t need the dowry. There must be something wrong.”
Oh, no wonder this scoundrel didn’t want to pay the dowry, so he knew that man was just like him. In the beginning, he came to me because he had a goal and now he suspects that someone else has committed the same crime. Well, deceiving Eliza was easy for that whore, but not for Carson. I sighed. “Honey, why don’t you find that guy to see what he’s like?”
“I did.”
“Serious? When? What’s he like?”
“He is a gentleman, drives a nice car and lives in a nice house, but I think something is wrong with him.”
“Are you worried that he’ll mistreat Eliza after they’re married? So get a prenuptial,” I suggested.
“I have the same idea, but I think I should investigate this further. Eliza isn’t coming home soon, so we can save that for later. If there is nothing wrong with him, then we can talk about her dowry.”
Now that Carson decided to look into it, that whore’s plan would eventually fail. After all, you can’t hide an elephant in a mouse hole. Besides, Carson wasn’t someone who would say something like that if he didn’t find out anything. Was that whore exposed? I wondered.
I was disappointed. I thought there would be more drama now, but it was over before the first act even started. Even so, I reminded him, “Yes, you should look into this, but keep it a secret, or they would be upset if they found out.”
“Do not worry, dear. I will be careful.” As he spoke, Carson hugged me. “I really missed you when you weren’t around, honey. So why not us…”
