Maria, let me see your face, the face of the future Mrs. Brown!&quot; At the moment, Jocelyn is glad to be ignored by her family.

"Alright, please wait a moment." Bard bowed in the direction of Mr. Wilson and then walked towards Jocelyn's room.

"Do any of you have a key? Can I have one, please?"

Bard turned his gaze to the servants.

The maid, Elena, met Bard's gaze and walked out. "I'm sorry, Mr. Bard, but the only key to that room is with Miss Jocelyn. We don't have it."

Hearing that there was no key, Maria looked a little nervous.

She wanted Bard to open the door and throw Jocelyn, who was hiding inside, out of the Wilson house, but at the same time, she didn't want Bart to open the door so that no one would know about the lie she and her mother had told.

However, Bard was Mr. Wilson's assistant. He served Mr. Wilson loyally and listened to his orders unconditionally.

"Well then, sorry for being rude, Miss Jocelyn." As Bard spoke, he raised his legs.

The next moment, the door handle flew out and Jocelyn's door was opened from the outside.
