It was a woman around the same age as Vivian.

Not only were they similar in age, but even their facial features bore some resemblance.

"You must be Ms. Martin, right? Everyone in the residence has been talking about you these past few days," the woman, Candice Sutton, said as she sized her up.

As soon as she spoke, Candice suddenly dropped to her knees with a thud.

"Please, Ms. Martin, don't send me away! I... I've lost both my parents, and my elder brother and his wife refuse to take me in. They believe I've already lost my virtue and don't want me to bring shame upon them. I have nowhere else to go!

"Please, Ms. Martin, I... I don't ask for much. I'm willing to stay as a concubine! I can help serve Mr. Atkinson alongside you, and I promise I won't cause you any trouble! Please, Ms. Martin, I beg you!"

Tears streamed down Candice's face as she pleaded desperately.

Vivian was momentarily stunned but quickly regained her composure. "You want to be Manfred's concubine, is that it?"

Candice's gaze flickered. She lifted her head to glance at Vivian but quickly lowered it again. "I... When I was sent here, I was told that I was meant to serve Mr. Atkinson."
