“Who's there?” a chilly voice came from within.
“It's me, Millie!” the girl cried out.
“What are you doing here? Didn't I say you must stand guard at the entrance as a punishment?” the woman inside reprimanded angrily.
“Cecilia, come and see who's here. I'm sure you'll be happy to see this person!” Millie replied in excitement.
“I'm not buying any of your tricks. Three days. You'll have to stand guard there for three days.”
“Come on, Cecilia. You'll thank me for bringing this person here,” Millie implored.
“Fine!”
When she got her sister's approval, Millie pushed the door opened and went in with Jared.
Upon entry, Jared saw a woman wearing red behind the table. Her features were exquisite, and her skin was fair, yet her cold expression suggested she was worried and sorrowful.
The woman froze when she saw Jared.
“Jared, this is my elder sister, Cecilia Jingle. You can call her Lia. She's the leader of Crimson Palace. We call her Lady jingle,” Millie introduced.
“Lady Jingle,” Jared greeted courteously. “I was walking around when I accidentally came across Crimson Palace. I hope you don't mind.”
Cecilia was still recovering from the shock, with her eyes glued to Jared.
“Cecilia! Jared's talking to you!”
It was not until Millie had called her again that Cecilia finally snapped back.
“Hi, Mr. Chance. It's good to see you. Have a seat,” Cecilia said, getting up from her seat.
When Jared was seated, she ordered the servants to bring some drinks.
“Millie, you should be on duty,” Cecilia reminded her sister once coffee was served.
“Cecilia...” the girl pleaded, looking at Jared.
