After sthought, Rita gathered the information about that person and decided to ask Karen in person.
"Oh, you're back. Have you eaten? Is your work going smoothly lately?" Karen asked Rita these sperfunctory questions every tshe returned, and Rita was tired of hearing them. It was not like Karen was really interested in the answers. Asking these questions and letting the servants hear them was just a formality for Karen.

"Wait a minute." Unexpectedly, Rita blocked her way.
"What do you want now, Rita? I don't seem to recall offending you recently." Before marrying off this troublesgirl, Karen decided to take a break and distance herself from her. 'Who knows what kind of trouble this girl was plotting forand Sadie to jump into before she got married?' "Oh? It sounds like you're feeling guilty over something." Rita crossed her arms and looked at Karen, who was adorned with jewelry from head to toe, like a nouveau riche. She was the epitof the type of person who showed off whatever she lacked. Karen's expression darkened, and she could not help but remember the last tthis troublesgirl had turned the tables on her. Vince's scolding still rang in her ears.
"Ha! What a joke. I consider myself to have fulfilled my duties as a stepmother. I have nothing to feel guilty about. It's you who should think about how to be a good daughter and your future way out." Rita rolled her eyes. "Unlike you, I don't need a man as my support." "Why you! What exactly are you trying to say?" Karen was furious. This brat always managed to provoke her with just a few words.
"Who is Esmond Parr?" Rita said the Esmond nwhile carefully observing Karen's expression. She saw shock in Karen's eyes, and even her hands tightened around the railing. Ske was so tense that she looked like a guarded hedgehog.
"Who did you say?" asked Karen.

I don't recognize that name. Where did you hear it from?" "Oh, I just thought I'd ask. Since you both have the ssurname, maybe you know him. After all, I keep feeling like I've heard his nbefore." "Is that so?" Karen forced a stiff smile. "Maybe you heard his nsomewhere else. I don't know this person. would have to know hundreds of thousands of people if I knew everyone with the surn'Parr. Haha." Her attempt at humor fell flat, and she did not even dare to meet Rita's gaze. She hastily suggested that Rita stay for lunch and hurriedly went upstairs, even stumbling on the stairs..
"There's definitely something fishy going on. Her reaction of claiming not to know him is quite suspicious," Rita remarked.
Her mood suddenly lifted. Following this lead could at least help her figure out who the person in question was.
Once Karen returned to her room, her chest heaved with violent emotion. She could not fathom now Rita had heard Esmond's nor why she would ask about him.
'If I continue to let that brat investigate based on Esmond's om name, won't the truth about what LOV happened years ago be exposed?' she thought with a frown. 'I can't let her find out!'
She grabbed her phone and scrolled to the bottom of her finding the number without a name. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to make the call. X
