Bab 218: Getting caught

Ignorant of what was going on with Alicia and Paulina at that moment, Susan paced around her chamber as she tried to come up with what to do next. Now that they had ruled out Lance, and Alvin was out in search of the missing maid, she didn't know what else she could do. 

After some time, she paused when she remembered that she had yet to inform Harvey and Luciana about their discussion with Lance, so she walked over to the dressing table in her chamber and sat on the stool as she composed a note asking Luciana to meet with her. She was going to go find Harvey after sending the message to Luciana.

She raised her head when her door was suddenly pushed open, and quickly threw the note under the table and stood up as her mother walked into the room.

Her mother had a suspicious look on her face as she looked at Susan, "What are you doing?" She asked as her eyes moved around the chamber as though she was searching for something.
