When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 616

Christine and I had just dropped off Ramona and Victor at the Myers Estate.

Victor was mentally unstable now but was incredibly attached to Ramona. He’d occasionally glance my way, flashing me an innocent smile, but hardly spoke a word.

Every now and then, he’d call me “daughter.”

Seeing my mom, he’d cheerfully shout “wife,” which only my mom’s years of mastering her poker face prevented her from rolling her eyes in response.

Yet, he hadn’t sought out Pearl and Dorothy, nor mentioned their names at all.

“Ah, Mrs. Ferguson, welcome back.”

As we helped Ramona into the Ferguson Estate, we were greeted by someone who seemed slightly younger than her, but clearly a peer.

Looking after Ramona alone wouldn’t be an issue.

But then there was Victor…

The Myers Estate used to have plenty of staff, each with their specific duties.

Now, thanks to whatever mess Pearl had stirred up, not a single servant was in sight.
