The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 319

"What? Mrs. Sutton told me to pack my bags the other night, saying someone from the Sutton family would pick me up in a few days." Kara was visibly frantic upon hearing that.

She got caught between a rock and a hard place. Where was she supposed to go if the Sutton family backed out?

"Ms. Orson, don’t worry. I'll check with Mrs. Sutton," the maid reassured her, shifting her gaze toward Audrey on the couch.

Audrey shook her head subtly at the maid.

Quickly concocting an excuse, the maid told Kara, "Ms. Orson, it's not that Mrs. Sutton doesn't want you over. It's just that Mr. Sutton is adamant about not having extra guests. Last night, Mrs. Sutton gave him a piece of her mind, but he's been stubborn. We're at a bit of a standstill."

"But I..."

The maid cut her off. "Don't fret, Ms. Orson. If I remember correctly, your lease is up at the end of the month, right? Your place is close to the university, so why not stay there longer? You might have to shuttle back and forth for a few days. Rest assured. Once Mrs. Sutton convinces Mr. Sutton, someone will go to pick you up immediately."

After hearing that, Kara's anxiety deepened. She had been waiting in this neighborhood for two days and had to wait even longer!

But before she could finish her thought, the maid had excused herself and hung up.

Staring at the disconnected call, Kara felt a chill. No place to stay and no money? What was she supposed to do next?
