Find Me In Your Labyrinth

Chapter 53

Simone’s eyes widened in surprise. “Why did you give her such a large sum of money?”

Bennett interjected, “We have been indebted to her for many years. She’s a young woman, and life hasn’t been easy for her. What’s the harm in giving her some extra money? You spend more than that on Carmella’s clothes every year.”

Simone looked away guiltily. “I’m just worried that she’ll waste the money and learn bad habits.”

“She didn’t waste it, nor did she learn any bad habits. Instead, she saved the money to buy you a birthday gift.” Bennett snorted, got up, and left.

Simone felt a bit uneasy and couldn’t tell why. She was just annoyed.

After Estelle finished her class with Henson, Magdalen picked her up at the University of J City’s gate. They went to Magdalen’s private styling room to change clothes before going to the birthday banquet.

While they were on their way, Estelle received a phone call from Harriet. Harriet quickly briefed her on the events that had unfolded at the Copeland family’s residence earlier that day.
