Chapter 402 She’s Too Hard to Please

Halfway through the meal, Emelie stepped outside to answer a call from her housekeeper.

The housekeeper reported that Ronan had been drinking heavily for the past two days and had gotten drunk every day. Greta had tried to persuade him to stop, but he wouldn’t. So, the housekeeper was worried that something might happen and wanted to ask Emelie what to do.

Emelie had sensed that something was off with Ronan’s mood when she had left Alderbrook. Why did he suddenly start drinking so heavily?

She frowned, worried that Greta’s concern for Ronan might affect her health.

“Call me when he wakes up tomorrow. I’ll talk to him.”

The housekeeper agreed.

When Emelie returned to the private room, she found only Ashley and Ashton inside. The three men were gone.

“Where are they?”

Ashley succinctly replied, “Smoking, taking a call, and using the restroom.”

Emelie returned to her seat. She looked past the two empty chairs and asked Ashton, “Did you just come from Capebatt City?”

Ashton replied professionally, “Yes. I came to Weston after seeing Ms. Bowen off. She’s been sent to Sentiland.”

Daphne had been sent to Sentiland? Emelie was slightly taken aback.
