Baron knew Shauna well, but he couldn’t afford to be careless. He asked again, “Was anyone else with you when you prepared everything?”

Shauna didn’t understand why Baron was pressing, but she thought for a moment and answered honestly, “No one else. But while I was airing out the bedding, Finn came by to talk to me.”

“What did he want?”

Baron’s expression had already darkened.

Shauna felt a pang of sadness. It must’ve been something Finn did to upset Mr. Gunn. But she had always been loyal to him.

“He came to vent,” she said quietly. “He said he was worried you were giving up too much for Ms. Summers—that you’d end up with nothing in return.”

Baron’s face grew even colder.

“Besides complaining, what else did he do?”

“Nothing much. He sneezed all of a sudden and said he wasn’t feeling well. Asked me to find some cold medicine in the house.”

The moment the words left her mouth, Shauna seemed to realize something.

“Mr. Gunn… did Finn do something? Does it have to do with Sean? Is he okay?”

She knew how much Baron treasured those two children. Now that he had entrusted her with everything related to their care, being called in like this could only mean something was wrong with Sean.

But if something had happened to Sean… who would be the prime suspect?
