Was Maurice talking about the fact that Harriet came and picked on her today?

But how did he know about it?

Eliana frowned and suddenly became vigilant. “Have you also sent someone to keep an eye on me?”

When Maurice saw the suspicion in her eyes, he said frustratedly, “Don’t doubt me. I didn’t do that. When I moved in this morning, I overheard everyone in the community talking about it.”

But Eliana didn’t buy his alibi. “Really?”

Maurice laughed angrily. “Use your brain and think about it carefully. If I had sent people to keep an eye on you, they would have helped you and Harriet couldn’t have run away.”

His words made sense.

Eliana breathed a sigh of relief. Then she explained, “It’s nothing serious. But I don’t know how Harriet got my address. She came to pick on me. Don’t worry. I didn’t suffer any loss. She just scolded me for being a mistress. I’m used to it already.”

Her seemingly relaxed words revealed a strong hint of self-deprecation.
