On the day of Odin’s accident, she managed to send Carson abroad at great length.
Normally, it would take at least a month for him to cback.
‘Why is he here so soon?’
Upon seeing the smirk on Carson’s lips, Maria had a bad feeling.
Her heart skipped a beat and she broke into cold sweat.
‘Wait.
Did
Victor know about my plan from the very beginning? And Carson didn’t leave Apliaria at all? No! That’s impossible!”
Maria couldn’t wait to cast aside those thoughts.
‘If Victor had known about my plan, how and why would the press conference be held?
And besides, I just received word ten minutes ago that Victor was in the car accident and it’s still yet to be confirmed if he’s still alive!’

After that thought crossed her mind, Maria gathered her composure.
“How did you know I went abroad?” Carson asked with his eyebrows rising slightly.
Maria averted her gaze from him for a moment.
When she heard
Carson’s question, she put on a smile and pretended not to be guilty of anything.
“I’m sure you know that I’ve been low spirits these days because of
Odin’s death.

But to be honest, I wasn’t sure if you really went abroad.” She lowered her gaze, making herself look as though she was truly forlorn.
Upon seeing her reaction, everyone felt sorry for her.
Though Odin couldn’t hold a candle to Victor, it was undeniable that he was also a man in a million.
Nobody expected that he would die all of a sudden, which was all the more reason why everyone felt sorry for him.
“I’m sorry for your loss, Mrs.
Sullivan,” said Carson.
Maria wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded.
Then, she changed the topic back to the press conference.
“What did you mean by saying that, Carson?”
“Saying what?” Carson asked.
He looked at Maria in confusion before pretending to remember something.
“Oh! Do you mean the part where I said you looked quite anxious?”
