“Why didn't you come out for a word with your grandfather before he left, Lizbeth? I'd thought that you girls weren't home!”
Jared did not answer Josephine as he gazed at Lizbeth in question.
“If he sees me, he'll make me go home,” Lizbeth said with a giggle. “I don't want to do that!”
Jared shook his head helplessly.
“Maybe you should.”
“You haven't answered me, Jared,” Josephine pressed on haughtily.
“Where are you planning on going?”
“There is an auction for antiques in Jadeborough. Mr. Grange has kindly extended an invitation to me.”
“Sounds fun! We would like to come along,” trilled Josephine.
“We're coming along,” affirmed Lizbeth. “I have friends in Jadeborough. We'll be treated well there.”
Jared gazed at them, the suspicion that they had planned to tag along the moment they heard the plan began to dawn on him.
“I'm not getting involved. You tell your grandfather that when you see him tomorrow.” Without another word, Jared disappeared into his bedroom.
Luca, Walter's loyal bodyguard, arrived at Jared's residence early the following morning.
As soon as the car stopped, Lizbeth and Josephine burrowed in at once. Jared and Luca merely exchanged a helpless glance before the former got in after them.
Walter was slightly taken aback when Luca arrived with Josephine and his granddaughter in the car. However, he regained his composure quickly and merely smiled at them without saying anything.
