Miss Yerez, Xander and Rose were shocked.
"But, the one that I talked before is-"
"Is there a problem?" the man shoot a cold look. Miss Yerez glanced at the butler, but he shook his head.
"W..well, then it will be processed like the previous agreement?"
The man stood up and called his Butler. "He will sort things out." After leaving his business to the butler, the man walked away.
"Let's finish our business, Ma'am." The butler instructed Miss Yerez to follow him.
Xander and Rose looked confuse, but they couldn't hide their joy.

Year 1853 Miss Yerez stepped out of the carriage. "I hope your luck will never run out." She thought Thea was lucky to have escaped the massacre. How could a little kid get away from that? It didn't make sense. And no one expected them to take Thea to the orphanage, which was so far away, from the McCollen residence. Luckily the security guards arrived soon, otherwise Thea's fate might have ended tragically too. Thea who had been looking out the window all the way, slowly began to notice a familiar sight. Her heart was beating fast for no reason. She gripped her tattered dress. 'Mother father. I am home!' They arrived at Thea's residence after the sun had passed its peak.

She hates complicated things. Thea couldn't explain it right now, because if that happened, she would have to explain everything from the beginning and Thea didn't want that. After not hearing Kay's voice anymore, she opened the bathroom door slowly. The room was empty. There was no more Kay there. Little did she know that her conversation behind the door would be the last conversation for the next week between them. Kay left without saying goodbye. Elisa said because there was a call of duty.

Kay didn't need to be here now, it allowed her to move more freely. Thea was o

Miss Yerez got up after fixing her dress.The hired coachman pulled a dagger from his pocket. It made Thea remember her own weapon. She put the jewelery in her hand and grabbed the knife.“Woman, listen to me. How about we halve the loot? Think about this carefully. Didn't you try to sell her but it didn't work? She'll only burden you after this,” The coachman tried to persuade Miss Yerez and make her an accomplice.Thea glanced at Miss Yerez.Her feeling was not good.She was afraid that Miss Yerez would eat the man's bait.

She knocked on the door and Blake's voice came from inside telling her to come in. Her decision was not wrong. Because as soon as Thea came in, Blake immediately dropped his instructions and Thea came back out. Sloan and the maid carrying the tea passed her in the hallway. "Young lady, the tea?" "Ah, I'm sorry, but I'll be out again." "Can't you just sit back and enjoy it for a moment? You just got home," Sloan coaxed her. "Sorry, Sloan. Next time.

He ran here and there looking around.“Son of XX!” Lubez didn't stop cursing Odger in his mind. His small body infiltrated the crowd smoothly.
