Chương 22: Chapter 22

Betrayed by blood~

"My necklace! It's gone! Who dares steal from me?" A loud shriek burst through the walls. Carol stood in the middle of the room, barking out orders as the servants scoured about the room, turning the entire place upside down.

Kendra came running from her room after having heard her mother's screams, her heart pounding hard in her chest. It had been barely a day since her mother's arrival, and this had happened. She reached the main corridor just in time to see the gathering of servants, all frantically searching as they scoured every inch of the room.

"No sign of it, ma'am," one of the servants said, her voice trembling.

"Search again! I want to find it. Do you realize how expensive it is? It is my most prized possession. I was going to give it to my daughter, but it's been stolen!" She screamed into the servant's face. The servant flinched hard before scurrying away.
