Miles Harrington chuckled, summoning the butler, "Never mind, no need to investigate. Next time I'll see what she says directly. If she's truly willing to stay and work for me, it means she probably has no ulterior motives."
"Yes, sir," the butler replied respectfully.
As the butler retreated, Ethan Sterling's expression turned dark and foreboding.
It seemed his young friend was growing up too quickly, raising suspicions.
But Seraphina Redgrave was a smart woman. She surely realized that advancing at such a pace would arouse suspicion, yet she still pursued it.
Ever since the publication of the law about Veridian Isle's unauthorized fugitives, Seraphina had been working even harder.
She wanted to reach that day faster.
No matter the cost.
Her thoughts were only of Veridian Isle and the pitiable people there.
And he, Ethan, in her eyes was not even as significant as the beggars.
How foolish of her.
