Chapter 580

It wasn't easy for Susanna to finally have someone back by her side, and she wasn't about to let Ronald dictate the terms.

...

Meanwhile, downstairs.

Hull sat at the dining table, looking a bit displeased. He glanced at one of the maids. "Go, call her down for dinner."

This maid was the one responsible for the kitchen.

When Hull instructed her to fetch Susanna for dinner, she couldn't help but recall what Silas had warned her about earlier.

A bit apprehensive, she said, "But sir, Silas mentioned that I'm not allowed on the second floor."

Because of this rule, breakfast that morning had been reheated more than once. Susanna wouldn't come down, and neither would Hull; it made meal prep a real challenge.

Hearing this, Hull's expression hardened. "Go."

His sudden change in tone startled the maid, and she quickly nodded. "Yes, sir."

After all, you listen to whoever signs your paycheck, but when the master speaks, you really can't ignore it.

The maid hurried upstairs to call Susanna.

Meanwhile, in her room, Susanna glanced at the clock, contemplating calling Stella.

Ever since she found out that the previous head of Black Gate was also named Lacey, her mind had been in turmoil.
