Baldrick gave her a warm smile.

He began to explain in a soft voice, "Master Collins said that a child should never be separated from their parents. Since you are leaving soon, Beanie should spend more time with you.

"Beanie, go take a shower then wait for me in the room, alright? Your suitcase is in your daddy's room."

"Okay, Mommy. I will go take a shower first."

She took it with trembling hands. She could feel that there was something very important inside the envelope.

Looking at the envelope, it could only be money inside, but when she wrapped her fingers around it, it felt more like a document.

Could it be...

Baldrick nodded his head in approval and told her, "Madam Minerva, you're an honest person but this is the instruction given by Master Collins. I am just an employee of the Collins family,
