Chapter 295


    Carlene turned to Maria, frowning. “We’ve been sitting here for ages; why haven’t you brought us


    coffee yet? Is there a drought in Rosewood Manor tonight?”


    She was criticizing Maria for not doing a satisfactory job.


    Maria instinctively nced atn.


    Carlene held onto his arm because he was running a high fever and looked a bit pale, but that didn’t


    diminish his noble demeanor. He was sitting there with Carlene snuggled up to him.


    Maria was pissed but couldn’t do anything about it. As she went into the kitchen to make coffee, she


    texted Maja quietly..


    “Ms. Pennyfeather, you better get back to Rosewood Manor. Mr. Raymond brought a woman home,


    and they seem pretty cozy.” Maja was already back at RosenGarden and had no intention of dealing


    with Rosewood Manor’s issues.


    Maria made the coffee and ced it on the coffee table.


    Carlene nced upstairs, a smirk on her lips. n, your wife’s not home?”


    Maria quickly exined, “Ms. Pennyfeather hasn’t returned yet.”


    Carlene pretended to be shocked, covering her mouth. “When I called Ms. Casson, she said she’s


    often not home at night. She doesn’t know what she’s up to. She should be home earlier since she’s

    married, right?n, you’re sick. She should take care of you.”


    Mention of his wife maden’s face even more sullen.


    “don’t need her to take care of me.” He felt more at ease when she wasn’t around.


    Carlene almostughed at his words but managed to hold it back.


    Maria couldn’t stand it anymore and excused herself, leavingn and Carlene alone in the hall.


    the way here. She lost my cat. You know how much I love my cat,n. Now I’m very anxious, always


    worrying something will happen to Milo.”


    Whenever his wife was mentioned,n either appeared indifferent or disgusted.


    But at the mention of Penny, his eyshes twitched slightly.


    “Penny lost your cat?”


    Carlene thought he was going to help her and nodded.


    “The servant said Penny tried to pet the cat, but it ran away. I gave her two hours to find it. If she can’t,


    I might have to go to the hospital.”


    She didn’t directly askn to fire Maja, fearing it might annoy him.


    RosenGarden been resolved?


    She didn’t call him, so it must have been resolved.


    Now she’s pissed off Carlene. Penny probably can’t handle this. If that’s the case, she’ll have to call


    him.


    He lowered his head, his expression indifferent.


    Carlene thoughtn didn’t care about Maja, which pleased her. But Rita’s words worried her.


    n, when I was at the Raymond Group, someone said they saw youing out of Penny’s house.”


    She got sick and almost passed out. I had to help her home.”


    Carlene sighed in relief, confident she could beat Penny.


    She looked atn affectionately, wanting to get closer, but the doorbell rang. Assuming it wasn’s wife


    returning, she clung to his arm tightly.


    That way,n’s wife would understand her ce in this house.


    Maria opened the door, and upon seeing Holden standing outside, her eyes lit up, and she quickly


    stepped aside.


    Holden, leaning on a crutch, immediately spotted the two on the sofa clinging to each other.


    He scoffed in annoyance, but a good upbringing prevented him fromshing out.


    Carlene, seeing him, immediately let go ofn, and moved a few steps away, her face changing color.


    Why would Holdene?


    Her heart pounded, and her palms were sweaty with anxiety.
