Chapter 43

The butler’s expression turned immediately grim when he saw Carolina approaching.

"Butler, may I ask if Frederick is at home?" Carolina politely inquired.

He raised his chin and spoke sharply, "Is it proper for you to address the young master that way?"

Perhaps because she knew the mistress was insane, the butler’s attitude towards her was never friendly.

"Well, I…"

"The young master is in the upstairs library," he said coldly.

"Thank you."

Carolina went upstairs, hesitating for a few minutes outside Red’s reading room. Even though she had resolved to do this, she knew that if she went in and begged him like this, he would surely humiliate her again.

She clenched her teeth, summoned her courage, and knocked on the door.

"Come in," came his cold voice.

Carolina pushed the door open and found Red at home, silently dressed, reviewing documents with a bowed head.
