Catherine returned home only to see the housekeeper waiting at the door, who took her luggage and said, "Miss, your mother is waiting for you in her room and wants you to see her right after you get back." He lowered his voice, "Your mother is very angry, try not to provoke her when you speak."
Catherine's pupils shrank, a hint of fear flashing deep in her eyes, "Where is my father?"
"The gentleman has gone to Lin City to inspect the branch office. He is not in Xueli City."
Catherine understood immediately that her father had been sent away by her mother, clearly not wanting him to help her.
With heavy steps, Catherine walked upstairs and hesitated a long time at the door of her parents' room before gathering the courage to knock.
"Come in," came an elegant female voice from inside, but it wasn't a cheerful sound to Catherine's ears.
She opened the door and walked over to her mother, Daisy Myer, "Mommy, I'm back."
