This small gesture did not go unnoticed by Arabella, only serving to confirm her suspicions. Just as she had suspected, Martha was indeed wearing a wig.
The living room was dim, the only source of light being the faint glow filtering in from the garden lamps outside. It gave the room an eerie feel, setting one's nerves on edge.

How could this be? How did Arabella find out about those well-guarded secrets from the past? Or was Arabella just bluffing, fishing for a reaction without actually possessing any concrete evidence? “The one outside, cin. | know it's you,” Arabella called out, her words causing the person lurking outside to hold their breath in a sudden wave of apprehension.
Martha glanced uneasily towards the door. "Miss Bella, | think you may be mistaken. There's nobody outside" "Oh, do you think that by hiding, | wouldn't know who you are?

If you don't believe me, you can investigate it yourself." “Listen here, my patience is wearing thin. This is your last warning.” With that, Arabella turned on her heel and headed upstairs.
Martha watched her retreating figure, a chill settling in her heart. Why did it feel like Arabella, despite her young age, seemed to know everything.
The person hiding outside didn't dare to reveal themselves, fearing they would be caught red-handed, and swiftly made their escape.
Martha clenched her fists. No more delays, she had to act now! Meanwhile.

Soon after, a phone call jotted her awake. Seeing that it was her mother calling, she hurriedly answered.
“Mom, what brings you to calltoday?" She slipped out of bed, tiptoeing to the balcony as she spoke in hushed tones.
“Louisa, darling, the sun is shining so brightly today, it remindedof the day you were born. It was a day just like this, clear and bright. I just couldn't resist calling you. | hear that it's 12 hours ahead over there. Are you sleeping now?" "No, Kenneth and | haven't gone to bed yet. How are you feeling lately, mom?" Louisa asked, concern lacing her voice.
