As soon as I was walking outside, I happened to let Celeste and Fiona out of the blue.
I heard a lot of gossip that Fiona was about to marry Callum, one of the reasons she could be seen wandering around the mansion. She visited almost every day.N
Both of them were too good with each other. However, when they saw me walking with Hazel, they paused and blocked me on the way, staring at me with mockery.N
“Hey, isn’t this Vera who just returned from the army?” Fiona asked Celeste and added, “I heard she went to the army to learn discipline for three years. Why doesn’t she know how to respect and bow with us?”

Nevertheless, I said, “You two hated me since we were still a child. Your past plots weren’t enough. Now you want me gone?”
Upon hearing that, Callum’s expression hardened, with his sharp gaze turned towards their direction.M
With that, Fiona paled. She shook her head and didn’t want to take the blame. She said, “It is not me!”
