Selina stepped out of the mansion while Annabelle hurried to her side, following her back to the maids' quarters. Together, they quietly began packing her belongings.
In no time, Selina had finished gathering her little things, and Annabelle, refusing to let her lift a finger, carried the suitcase out to the car and tucked it into the trunk.
Just as they exited the quarters, Selina heard the sound of approaching footsteps.
She paused, and the steps stopped too.
Turning slightly, she caught sight of the sick maid from the day before—the one who was supposed to deliver the cake. The girl glanced at Selina for a moment, then quickly averted her gaze and rushed back inside without a word.
Selina looked away, falling into step behind Annabelle as they approached Rowan, who was waiting beside the car.
Just as she reached out to open the door, a familiar voice boomed across the driveway.
"You can't leave, Ugly Swan!"
