"Get out!" Gregory's shout instantly sobered the drunk man up. The man immediately got up from the ground and ran out the door.
Gregory gently embraced the crying girl in his arms and comforted her softly.
"Didn't you say you could redeem me and take me away? Haven't you get Rosa's allowance yet?"
Gregory frowned and replied, "She's missing. Who knows what trick she's playing no?"
Ellen became sullen instantly. She looked at Gregory, looking innocent. "Is she jealous because you always come to me?"
"Don't worry. I'll draw up the divorce paper when she comes back. Then, we will get married."
"You can't do that. What happened to my father will implicate you. I can't just take her place as the mistress of your house."
She looked helpless, but her eyes showed that she was pleased.
"I heard that a headless female corpse in the capital. Have you found out who that person is?"
Gregory looked at Ellen with great concern.
"It's Zoey's."
Ellen smiled a little. Her eyes looked cunning.
"What about Rosa? Isn't Zoey her personal maid?"
Gregory's eyes were filled with anger. "Rosa Finn gave Zoey the bracelet my mother gave her, which put Zoey in danger. But she just hid herself and refused to show up!"
