When Fiona heard that, she clearly becanxious.
She felt like she was stuck in a tough spot.
If the Lodge family went back on their word and wouldn't let her live there, where would she go next?
“Ms. Piper, please don’t worry,” Francine said. “I'll ask Mrs. Lodge Senior what she thinks.”
Francine looked as though she was trying to calm Flona, but her gaze fell on Belinda, who was sitting on the
couch.
Belinda shook her head at Francine.
Francine quickly cup with an excuse. She said to Fiona on the phone, “Ms. Piper, it’s not that Mrs. Lodge
Senior doesn’t want you to come, but Mr. Lodge is really against having extra people at the house. Last night,
Mrs. Lodge Senior even scolded him, but he’s being firm. They’ at a standstill right now, and it’s difficult.”
“But...”

“Ms. Piper, don’t worry. If | remember correctly, your lease runs till the end of this month, right? Your place is
close to the university anyway, so just stay there a bit longer. You'll have to make a few more trips back and
forth between the university and the Lodge residence, but don’t worry. As soon as Mrs. Lodge Senior talks Mr.
Lodge into it, we'll send someone to pick you up.“”
Hearing Francine’s words made Fiona even more anxious. She had already waited here in this neighborhood for
two days, and now she had to keep waiting.
Before Fiona could say anything else, Francine hung up with a quick excuse.
Fiona stared at her phone, her heart sinking. With no place to stay and no money, she was at a loss. Where could
she go?
Gwen owed a lot of money, so she couldn't give Fiona any living expenses. Ariana definitely wouldn't let her stay
at the Torrey residence.
She had so many things. If she didn’t take a taxi, how could she haul them all to a nearby hotel?
Problems kept coming. Her hands were trembling.
She realized she shouldn't have left so quickly. She should have found a backup plan first.
Meanwhile, inside the Lodge residence, Francine asked, “Mrs. Lodge Senior, does that mean you're not planning
on letting Ms. Piper move in?”
Francine had been with Belinda a long tand knew exactly what she was thinking
Belinda said coldly, “She may be obedient, but her background is not the best. The Lodge family isn’t a place
where just anyone can come. If she wants to cling to us and serve, let her do it. Brian just needs someone who
will obey him.”
Belinda already disliked Gwen, so she naturally disliked Fiona too.
If she hadn't needed a more easily controlled woman to rein in her grandson, she would never have let Fiona
stay at the Lodge residence.
When she’d told Fiona to cstay, it was only polite talk. She never expected Fiona to take it seriously. She
was so naive.

By afternoon, Fiona still hadn’t found a place to stay.
