Chapter -263

"W-what? What do you mean?"

Lucien had crouched down and held Renee's shoulder. She was surprised by the sudden news. "How did it happen? And why didn't you say anything before?"

"I-I'm sorry...." Renee keeps on wiping her tears, but it won't stop flowing. "I promised her that I wouldn't tell anyone including you."

Lucien sighed and passed her handkerchief which Renee took it. "Do explain everything from the beginning."

Both had now sat at the corner of the hall, leaning on the wall. Renee had her cheeks, nose, and eyes flushed in red. She explains that this morning when they were having tea together, Alina received an unknown letter. "She told me nothing about the content or anything. It was just that she suddenly turned silent, and she looked angry."
