When Uncle Jasper finished talking, he stopped his pacing and thought for a while before he continued talking again, "Well, I'll find a solution. If it doesn't work, then I'll get a car and transport them to town. There are collection syndicates. Although the price is lower, that's not a concern now."
His words made Aunt Emma turn pale and tremble with fear.
However, she did not dare to face her callous husband, so she bowed her head and kept quiet.
The light in the room was only put out in the middle of the night.
The next morning, everything went on as usual.
Clarissa and Nora did not get much sleep the night before, fearing that something might happen.
It appeared that Clarissa was correct in that Uncle Jasper would not make a move as soon even though he found out that they were not who they seemed.
But, some things did change.
From that day on, they were not allowed to have dinner downstairs.
