Barrett was at htoday as he wasn't on duty. He had no idea that Aurora had caused a scene at Northwatch Estate a few days prior.
He hadn't even noticed her leaving-they had been arguing frequently, so he had been staying in the study. His visits to the residential area were merely to oversee the renovations of Grace Mansion to prepare for the arrival of his new bride.
When he heard that someone from Northwatch Estate had cto collect a debt, he initially thought it was a matter of old accounts. He asked Frederick to meet him in the study, hoping to avoid alarming his mother.
