Bab 134: Chapter 134: Darkroom

The house looks empty without the servants. Bodyguards carry Avery's luggage, and she's about to climb the stairs to her room when loud footsteps echoed through the hall.

"Mrs. Howel," a rough voice greets her.

A squat woman in a long black servant's dress approaches, followed by several other maids in the same outfit.

Avery turns around and looks down. The woman in front is Maureen, Mrs. Howel's head housekeeper. Avery assumes that Maureen is here to invite her to Mr. Howel's house. In the past, Mrs. Howel would frequently invite Avery over when she was bored. Every time, Avery returned home humiliated and covered in wounds.

Avery feels exhausted from the chaos at Andrew's and her terrible nightmare. The thought of dealing with Maureen irks her.

"What do you want?" Avery asks impatiently.
