My heart felt like it had tens of thousands of horses galloping past it at this moment. I was so nervous.
Looking at Carlson and Yvonne’s shocked expressions, I could not respond.
Tyler and Susan did not know what was going on. Tyler asked me, "Who’s Millicent Yard?"
Carlson motioned at me to follow him before I could answer him. "Wanda, let's go to the study." He went upstairs after that.
I was pressured when I looked at his back.
"Wanda, are you okay?" Susan's concerned voice came from behind me.
I calmed myself. Letting out a breath, I turned around and looked at them. "I’m fine. Don't leave yet. Wait for me to come down."
"Okay." Both Susan and Tyler nodded.
I glanced at Yvonne on the sofa before I went upstairs. She still seemed to be immersed in the conversation just now. It was obvious the name Millicent Yard had shocked her.
I did not expect Millicent Yard to have anything to do with Carlson and Yvonne.
Walking up the stairs, my every step was heavy.
I knocked on the door of the study, and Carlson's troubled voice came from inside, "Come in."
There was a burst of sandalwood fragrance when I entered, and it felt calming. "Dad, I..."
He waved his hand and motioned for me to sit down.
Sitting down opposite him, I accepted his scrutiny.
"Millicent Yard. Where did you hear this name?"
It was apparent that Carlson did not think this was the result of my own investigation. It must have been impossible to find out this matter via investigation back then. Perhaps only the people who knew her back then still remembered her. Was Cole one of these people?
