Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 573

Of course, Roseanne couldn't spill the beans to him, only saying:

"There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. We'll figure something out."

"Well then-best of luck to you guys."

With those words, he turned to leave.

"Carlson!" Suddenly, Roseanne called out to him, "Sometimes, you've got to be a bit selfish, think more about yourself. After all, you can't live under someone else's roof forever, bending over backwards, right?"

Carlson cracked a smile: "Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep that in mind."

"What? You didn't get the keys?" Edna furrowed her brows in frustration, glaring at Hertha standing before her with a displeased expression: "How do you even manage things?!"

"Roseanne said the keys were already handed over, and she even pulled out the rule book on me, saying that's how things are supposed to be done, so she couldn't give them to me. What was I supposed to do, wrestle her for them?!" Hertha was clearly getting impatient.

Edna's accusing tone was really getting on her nerves.

Was it her fault?
