Chapter 282

• Upon returning home, Mr. Adler was nowhere to be found. Usually, he would have already returned by this time, and I couldn't fathom his whereabouts. However, the empty house brought me a sense of relief. Mr. Adler's earlier words truly left me uncertain about how to face him.
• Mr. Adler actually asked me if I would be willing to be his mistress. I laughed at myself, unsure if he overestimated his charm or underestimated my character.
