Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 894

"Mrs. Costello, please head upstairs," the maid beside Sophie said, stepping forward to guide her.

Sophie glanced at the maid. "If I stay cooped up in the house every day, I'm going to go stir-crazy. How about I step out into the garden for some fresh air? That's not asking too much, is it?"

"Not too much, I suppose," the maid hesitated. Mr. Odie hadn't given them permission to let Mrs. Costello go outside.

"Great! If it's not too much, I'll just take a little stroll. You don't have to follow me."

"But!" the maid protested, but Sophie was already striding towards the door, sensing the maid's reluctance.

In the garden, the patrolling security guards were taken aback at the sight of Sophie. She was still in her pajamas, but she straightened up, as if taking a casual neighborhood walk, humming a tune as she headed towards the flower garden. It felt just like a stroll in her own front yard.

The maid hurried out, and a security guard approached her, whispering, "What's happening? The boss didn't say Mrs. Costello could be out here."
