Chapter 384

McNeil watched as Victoria walked away. He sat there for a long time, so lost in thought that he didn't even notice when Xenia came to find him.

Xenia had no idea what was wrong. Just a short while ago, Mrs. Langford had been downstairs, having dinner with Mr. Langford and Miss Gwyneth. Then, suddenly, Mrs. Langford's car was gone, and Mr. Langford was left sitting alone, staring into space.

The expression on his face was something Xenia had never seen before, not since she started working for the Langford family.

It was a sadness too deep for words, resting quietly on his features, impossible to hide.

He was still numb from Victoria's departure. Even the news that Violet was in the hospital didn't stir his expression.

"I'll be there right away."
