Although Charlie was young, he wasn’t easily fooled. “Once again, you’re trying to subtly influence us to suspect my sister. You want us to dislike her.”

“No matter how you’ve deceived my mother, if you upset her, I’ll make you pay dearly,” Charlie threatened, his eyes narrowing.

Charlie and Herbert exchanged a glance, then stepped aside for her to enter.

The furniture appeared to be many years old. Although not broken, it was visibly worn, exuding a sense of cheapness.
