Chapter 162

• "My sister?"
• The moment Winona stepped into the dining room that morning, she was immediately struck by the palpable tension hanging in the air. Harold, her partner, and Lucy, were deeply engrossed in what appeared to be a heated discussion. However, their conversation abruptly halted as soon as Winona made her presence known.
• Both Harold and Lucy turned to regard her, with Harold's gaze lingering on her a moment longer before she took her seat. An uncomfortable silence ensued, prompting Winona to break it. "I'm sorry, but is there something on my face?" she asked, unable to ignore the discomfort Harold's intense stare was causing her.
