Chapter 257 Twisted Fates and Hidden Agendas

The next day was Christmas, a time meant for family reunions.

That evening. I had plans to return to the Boltons for dinner, but my mother called early in the morning asking me to visit the Gardners at noon.

News of the car accident involving the Sanders had already spread. Representing the Bolton, I went to pay them a visit.

Pushing the door open, I saw Kate standing barefoot on her bed, her eyes darting around in paranoia as though everyone in the room was plotting against her.

"Mrs. Sander, please come down from there."

As soon as she spotted me entering, Kate jumped from the bed and grabbed my hand. Her voice was urgent and trembling.

"Chloe, hurry! We need to get out of here-there are ghosts in this place!"

Looking into her vacant, disoriented eyes, I quickly pieced together the situation.

Josh sighed heavily, the lines on his face more profound than usual.

"I apologize for the embarrassment, Mrs. Bolton. My wife is still shaken from the accident. She just needs some rest to recover. Because you resemble our late daughter, she mistook you for her." "So that's what happened."
