Turner's mother's face changed color, and she hurriedly said, "Tut-tut-tut, Miss Cloud, what nonsense are you talking about? The two of you just have a misunderstanding. I believe... I believe Miss Cloud is definitely not that kind of person."
As she spoke, even tears welled up in Turner's mother's eyes. She couldn't bear to disturb her anymore and finally simply left.
All day long, besides Turner's mother bringing food at noon, no one else entered the room.
Sophia Cloud just sat there dazed by the window, not having seen Arthur, not even knowing if he was safe. Thinking of this, her eyes filled with scorn.
In the end, she mustered the courage and stepped out of her room.
Edward Harrell frowned deeply, looking at the humble woman before him.
"What is it?"
The air seemed to freeze. Edward Harrell already disliked her, and now here she was, seeking his help. Would it really be of any use?
But he was her last straw.
—Uncle Harrell, may I see Arthur?
