596-The Cunning Bitch

"What is going on?" Emma was the first one to ask, shamelessly forgetting the fact that she had done something extremely terrible the other day.

We had been gathered in the living room ever since the family returned. Nobody had said a word. Actually, Norman and Lord McQuoid had talked before the rest of the family arrived.

"There has been some work going on in the basement. We are preparing weapons and poisons there, so it is advised that nobody goes downstairs until further notice," Lord McQuoid took the hold of the situation to make the announcement.

But I could tell my mother already knew about Maximus being down there. Even Charlotte must have known. I was just confused whether Emma was aware of Maximus's condition or not.
