Freya was startled to read Chelsea's name.
"Does it mean
"Byron has seen her?" Freya wondered.
She felt overwhelmed by the possibility.
Soon,
Freya knew the answer.
There was someone Freya knew on that guest list. She called that person and disguised her intention by seeking cooperation. In the end, she mentioned the fiftieth-anniversary party held by the Campbell family.
"I meant to attend too, but I got stuck at work. So Byron went by himself." Freya explained.
Hearing that, the other person smiled. "You missed out on a great show, Ms. Bates."
Freya's heart skipped a beat.
The other person continued, "The old couple of the Campbell family were proud all their lives. However, they got embarrassed by their granddaughter, who provoked Ms. Stella out of jealousy, at their fiftieth-anniversary party."
"Are you talking about Chelsea Stella?" Freya clenched her fist so tight that her hand began to hurt.
"That's the one! By the way, Mr. Crawford spoke up for her when the girl of the Campbell family gave her a hard time. I also heard..."
The other party hesitated.
"Ms. Hanson, you can tell me anything. We're friends." Freya said softly.
"It's just a rumor. It's said the girl of the Campbell family went crazy and was sent to the madhouse on Toshima Island that night. Some people said... she was there because of Mr. Crawford. That's hilarious!"
"Madhouse on Toshima Island..."
Freya thought as she lowered her eyelids in anger.
"Do you know about this, Freya? Did Mr. Crawford really do that? He genuinely cared for Chelsea that day."
"I just came back, and I haven't seen him yet." Freya suppressed her emotions. "But I'm not surprised that he helped Ms. Stella. Byron has admired Rose since he was a child. It was natural that he would care for Madam Stella's granddaughter."
"I see..."
The other side replied.
"Ms. Hanson, let us have afternoon tea sometime and talk when I finish my project."
"Absolutely! Don't forget about my thing."
