Chapter Fourteen Black Mist(3/3)
Mrs. Hughes?
The proprietress of the cremation house.
Aunt Mary lowered her voice again and said: "Although I have a very good relationship with Mrs. Hughes..."
Karen noticed this that day. Mrs. Hughes teased Uncle Mason to her face because he fell over another woman's window sill. This was actually a warning to her husband for her best friend.
"But I still have to remind you that Mrs. Hughes is a bit...somewhat philanthropic. You'd better not have too much contact with her, you know?"
Aunt Mary, like Uncle Mason, was worried that the young and energetic Karen would be lured away by Mrs. Hughes's finger.
Perhaps for Mrs. Hughes, this is a way to kill boredom and relieve loneliness, but for boys, it is the price of being toyed with.
After all, Karen is fifteen years old, an age where she can stand up to an iron plate;
How many boys at this age can resist the temptation of a young woman?
Aunt Mary did not hesitate to speak ill of her best friend because of her nephew.
Because Karen came back with Dis, Aunt Mary didn't dare to take out the watch in front of Dis.
"I know, Auntie."
That Mrs. Hughes took herself as a trap.
"Then can Auntie ask someone to return this watch to me?"
"There is no need to return the watch, just accept it. Just be clear in your mind. I will be responsible for returning the gift. It will be treated as a gift between us sisters. But you should still call me now to say thank you and be polite."
"Okay, Auntie."
"There are numbers in the directory."
"knew."
Karen picked up the phone and opened the phone book next to it;
Because of business dealings, the number of the Hughes Cremation Society was at the top of the list, so it was easy to find it.
call,
After waiting for a while, no one answered.
Maybe you are busy?
Karen hung up the phone and dialed the number again;
"Click..."
This time, it was answered quickly.
Karen asked: "Hi, hello, is this the Hughes Cremation Society?"
There was a sound on the other end of the phone, but no one spoke.
Karen asked again: "Hello, how are you?"
