"What? Mrs. Sutton told me to pack my bags the other night, saying someone from the Sutton family would pick me up in a few days." Kara was visibly frantic upon hearing that.

"Ms. Orson, don't worry. I'll check with Mrs. Sutton," the maid reassured her, shifting her gaze toward Audrey on the couch.

Audrey shook her head subtly at the maid.

You might have to shuttle back and forth for a few days. Rest assured. Once Mrs. Sutton convinces Mr. Sutton, someone will go to pick you up immediately."
