Evelyn Taylor had no idea about Amelia Linton's phone call to Harriet White. When she drove back home, Harriet and Amelia had already finished their call and were sitting in the living room waiting for her to return.
"Evelyn! Where on earth did you go just now?" Hearing movement at the door, Harriet immediately stood up and walked out of the living room. Before Evelyn, who had just entered the door, could see her, Harriet was already questioning her daughter.
Hearing her mother's voice, Evelyn paused momentarily while changing her shoes but quickly resumed as usual. After switching shoes, she carried her bag and walked inside.
"I just went out for a walk." Unaware of Amelia's call to Harriet, Evelyn gave a perfunctory reply and headed towards the stairs.
Seeing this, Harriet quickly called out loudly, "Come here for a moment; I have something to ask you."
She stood at the living room door, waiting for her daughter to come over.
