Meanwhile, in the Scott Villa —
After returning home, Clara rushed straight to her room and locked herself inside.
The maids noticed it and exchanged glances among themselves, but they didn't think much of it at first.
However, when they later went to call her for dinner —
Even after knocking quite a several times, there was no response.
Concerned, their brows furrowed, and they hurried to inform Matilda, the housekeeper.
Hearing this, Matilda immediately went to check herself. But the result remained the same.
"What's going on?"
Charlotte arrived shortly after.
Seeing the maids gathered outside Clara's room, her brows knit together in a frown. "What are you all doing here?"
Matilda stepped forward respectfully.
"Madam, we came to call the young lady for dinner, but she isn't opening the door. The maids said she locked herself in the moment she returned."
Charlotte's expression darkened instantly. She immediately stepped forward, walking closer to the door.
