After finishing all the scheduled work that Cassidy had left in the city, she took a trip together with Asher and headed to the countryside in order to meet Josephine.
Until now, she is secretly connected with Cecile who continues working back in the mansion. She plans to keep her for a while longer. That way, she can have someone who will oversee the progress of all the efforts she has invested in her short-term jobs and take care of any concern or issue that she might have overlooked. Besides, she didn't fulfill her part of the deal yet.
For now, Cassidy needs a break away from everything - but only to confront another huge matter.
"Aira is still at school. She will be back in the afternoon. I'm sure she'll be pleasantly surprised to see the both of you again."
Cassidy and Asher are now having tea together with Josephine in her humble home.
Just wanna point out the parallelism in the cases of Maruschca and Adrian - they didn't know about a lot of crucial things for a long time. They were also controlled and lied to, which added to the reasons why they couldn't help but be unaware.
One could say that knowledge was indeed power (◍•ᴗ•◍) Would things be different had they known earlier? Or would they choose to remain ignorant?
This is their own family they are dealing with.
