“Hey , isn’t that Caitlin? Where is she?”
Cynthia was the first to spot Caitlin, walking over with Millie.
“Caitlin, you’re here!”
Millie, noticing Randall beside her, was surprised. “Randall, when did you come back?”
“Just got back,” Randall replied politely, noticing Caitlin’s name being mentioned. He seemed surprised. “Is she Caitlin? Eleanor’s granddaughter?”
He had heard about how The Yuncey Family’s product launch had been disrupted, and Carmen had asked him to contact Odessa to deal with the situation. That’s why he had rushed back from France.
“Yes!” Millie added, looking at Caitlin. She smiled warmly and said, “Caitlin, I’m so sorry for accidentally burning you earlier. I’ve brought some ointment for you. You should apply it quickly, don’t want to end up with a scar.”
Millie handed the ointment to Caitlin. Caitlin glanced at it but took it without showing any emotion. “Thanks, Millie.“.
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome! You have to apply it three times a day,” Millie insisted, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
Caitlin could easily see through this little game of Millie’s. It was a well–played act of pretending to show concern, with Cynthia there as a witness to confirm her good intentions. Caitlin wasn’t fooled, though. That ointment might be laced with something harmful–Millie was not to be trusted.
But Caitlin was curious. If Millie ate the food Caitlin had served her earlier, why hadn’t anything happened yet?
“Randall, you and Caitlin haven’t met yet, let me introduce you…” Millie said, trying to be friendly, but before she could finish her sentence. she suddenly grimaced, clutching her stomach in discomfort. The pain in her abdomen surged, and she couldn’t speak.
“What’s wrong, Millie? Are you okay?” Randall asked, noticing her change in expression.
Millie waved her hand, forcing herself to suppress the discomfort. “I’m fine… I’m fine… oof-” she groaned, the pain getting worse by the second. She couldn’t keep it in anymore.
Just then, Quill, Greta, and Edgar, along with her husband Douglas, walked by. Millie had timed it perfectly to come and confront Caitlin in front of the family, hoping to make herself look like a good wife. But now, she could barely hold herself together.
“Pfft-”
A long, loud fart erupted from Millie, leaving everyone around her in shock.
“Oh my… ” Cynthia was the first to cover her nose, disgusted.
Caitlin instinctively took a few steps back, and Randall’s gaze toward her shifted.
“Ugh… I…” Millie tried to explain, but it was too late. The pain in her stomach hit like a tidal wave. Her bowels seemed to have completely given way, and the mess was beyond her control.
The situation became quite embarrassing as Millie lost control in front of everyone. The look on everyone’s face was one of utter revulsion . Even Douglas, seeing his own wife in such a state, was disgusted.
“Millie, how could you…”

He wanted to scold her, but the words stuck in his throat–how could anyone publicly embarrass themselves the inst
Millie knew how humiliating it was–especially in front of Caitlin. It was worse than being slapped in the face. She pee wanted to creatin hole, clutching her aching stomach as she stumbled away.
Caitlin, on the other hand, just silently watched. This was the consequence of provoking her sometimes, it’s better to let people cribanse
themselves.
“Sorry, my wife has lost control,” Douglas muttered, darkly embarrassed, and quickly walked away. Quill and Greta pretended not to see taking another path out of the scene.
“Disgusting! Let’s leave now, this place smells awful!” Cynthia pulled Caitlin’s arm, guiding her away. By the time Pandall realized what had happened, Caitlin and the others had already walked far away.
Back in her room, Caitlin took a shower and laid down to rest.
Late that night, in the stillness of the house, Caitlin sensed her phone vibrating. She got up, walked to the door, and opened it to let the men
outside in.
She and Sebastian had arranged a signal–when he came to find her, he would text her, and she would open the door when she felt the
vibration.
Sebastian slipped into the room, and without wasting time, pulled Caitlin into a tight embrace, pressing her against the door, and kissed her passionately, desperate to ease his longing for her.
The kiss was intense, almost suffocating, before he finally pulled away, his voice low and hoarse. “I heard you got burned. Where’s the
injury?”
Sebastian had learned about it through the servants talking among themselves at The Yuncey Family.
“Left arm, but it’s not that serious,” Caitlin replied.
“Let me see.”
Sebastian switched on his phone’s flashlight, illuminating her arm. The burn marks were clearly visible on her fair skin, a reddish patch
covering part of it.
“Ugh-” Sebastian blew gently on her skin, then pulled out an ointment from his pocket and began to apply it gently. “You need to be careful
from now on.”
“I know,” she replied quietly.

Sebastian didn’t trust Caitlin to go to the West Garden alone, so he decided to accompany her there.
They dressed in dark clothes, blending into the night, and headed towards the West Garden.
On the way, they encountered a patrolling servant. They quickly ducked into the shadows, waiting until the man pass their way.
ore continuing on
Crossing the back garden, they reached the West Garden. From a distance, they could see the lights on outside the gates , with two male
servants stationed there.
“I’ll go distract them,” Sebastian whispered to Caitlin.

“ Be careful.”
“ I know,” he replied, already sprinting towards the servants.
The two servants spotted someone running past and yelled, “Did we just see someone? Quick, chase them!”
Sebastian successfully led them away, giving Caitlin a chance to approach the gates. This time, instead of unlocking the door , she chose to scale the wall using a tree nearby.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, the loud barking of the large wolfdog echoed through the garden. The dog sensed an intruder and started charging towards her.
“Woof woof…”
The barking was loud and growing closer. In the thick night, Caitlin could see the dog’s black silhouette running toward her. She had no choice but to scramble back up the tree and retrace her steps.
As she ran away, she could still hear the dog barking in the distance.
What now?
To get to Billy, she had to deal with that dog first. But tonight, it seemed impossible.
The two servants returned to the West Garden, realizing they hadn’t caught anyone suspicious.
Caitlin hid in her previous spot, waiting until Sebastian came back to find her.
“How’s it going? Didn’t make a move yet?”
“I went in, but the dog was too vicious. It would’ve raised alarm. It’s better to wait for another day.”
“Alright, I’ll think of a way.”
The two returned to the guest room , where Sebastian helped Caitlin inside. She urged him to return quickly to avoid being noticed.
But Sebastian wouldn’t leave. Once inside, he pulled her close. “Caitlin, I’m hungry…”
“You didn’t eat dinner?”
“I did, but I’m still hungry.”
In the darkness, his eyes sparkled with a heated intensity as his warm breath surrounded her.
