Karin dropped her head and said, “The woman put up a struggle on our way here, causing a minor car accident. I was careless and may have administered too much injection. She…”
“I’ll go in and have a look.”
Karin halted her.
“Is Miss Hernandez aware that you came here alone tonight?”
Eleanor’s face darkened in annoyance.
Melody usually had more authority and often bossed Eleanor around.
Even after Melody returned to Stastle, her subordinates still felt entitled to give her orders?
She and Melody were partners, not boss and employee. She didn’t see any reason why she had to report everything to her.
Eleanor got more infuriated as she thought about this. She glared at Karin and snapped, “Less talk and more work. Melody isn’t in Forden, so you just need to follow my orders. Is that clear?”
Karin lowered her head and replied meekly, “Yes, I understand.”
“Now that you’ve completed your task, you can leave,” Eleanor ordered.
“Got it.”

Frustrated with Karin’s hesitation, Eleanor snapped, “Do you not understand me?”

“Sorry.” Before she took her leave, Karen pulled out a mobile phone from her pocket and gave it to Eleanor.
“This is her phone. She had a call earlier, but I put the phone on flight mode to prevent it from interfering with your plan.”
“Okay,” Eleanor replied snappishly, snatching the phone from Karin’s hand.
Karin left and immediately, Eleanor turned on the phone to check who called.
Eleanor’s eyes blazed with rage.
Although it was just a number, she knew exactly who it was.
It was Nathaniel, and he had called Lucinda at this late hour.
Eleanor couldn’t help but wonder why Nathaniel had never called her despite her being back in the country for so long. Every time they spoke, it was she who had to initiate the conversation.
Why did he treat this bitch so differently?
