Barbara quickly shook her head. “No!”

Everyone looked at her. “Why not?” Louis pursed his lips.

Barbara grimaced. “My mother seems to need some time alone. She won’t like it if someone disturbs her peace.”

Nora shuddered in horror. It was as if she had just received a deadly mission. Nevertheless, she still nodded.

“Don’t bother me!”

Nora’s shoulders shook violently. Without saying excuse me, she ran away from the trolley.

“What happened, Nora? What was that noise?” Philip approached Nora in the middle of the stairs.

The servant shook her head. Her face was still deathly pale.

“I don’t know. She threw something at the door. Was it a pillow? But it made a very loud sound. It looked like something much heavier.”
