Kapitel 913: Chapter 0912: Why Put Yourself Through This?

Phoebe Smith's car was parked around the corner in that secluded alley next to the Richardson family's place, a spot that offered a full view of the courtyard entrance.

She personally witnessed her mother, Susanna Smith, entering the Richardson's courtyard, then she patiently waited in the car. She saw Frederick Richardson's car return home, followed by Old Master Richardson leaving in another car, and then...
