Who is it? Eleanor inquired, speaking in a barely audible voice.
Eleanor's thoughts were filled with potential outcomes as she swiftly put on a robe and accompanied Lucas to the main hall. Emily, Beta Johnson's daughter, stood there with a chilly resolve. Eleanor recognized the emotions of grief and anger on the familiar face, which was contorted with pain.
Emily's voice was emotionless, almost detached. "I've come to take my father's corpse."
Eleanor's breath seized. This confrontation caught her off guard. "Emily, I was not aware that you would be here today. How are you doing? I offer you my sympathies. "I want you to understand that I had no involvement in the events that transpired, nor did I give any instructions," she nervously stated, her words coming out quickly.
