Chapter 296 Try Asking Her

• Joseph quickly set aside his work and gently urged Fanny to sit down before questioning her in a gentle tone. "Why are you crying like this? Didn't you have a good time yesterday?" He trusted Fanny's explanation that she had visited a friend's house the day before, and he assumed that her tears were due to a disappointing experience.
• Fanny hastened to clarify herself. "No, that's not it. I was upset to see the caretaker mistreating Mom when I visited her earlier. Joseph, why don't we dismiss the caretaker and let me care for Mom instead?" Upon hearing this, Joseph immediately pressed for details. "Did the caretaker mistreat Mom? What exactly happened?" Despite his efforts to hire reliable help, it seemed like they had failed to fulfill their duties properly.
• "I witnessed the caretaker being rough while attending to mom, and when I confronted her, she responded inappropriately…" Fanny recounted the events tearfully. Her red eyes were filled with sorrow as she spoke.
