Chapter 506

Old Mrs. Horton said, “It was just our private speculation. You see, many people looked through numerous ancient Creran archives, hoping to find such a family with the surname South. Unfortunately, they came up empty–handed. It wasn’t until a time later that someone declared that, actually, Lady South

banished to Crera.”

Keira was startled.

Moreover, if Lady South had been banished, why had she brought such a large service entourage with her?

The luxurious life she led indicated clearly that the South family had not neglected her.

And what about that big fire involving Lady South? Plus, Jodie South also seemed to have hidden her identity, having taken refuge in Oceanion for over
