Hewitt entered the front hall.
George and Inez were upstairs.
But Inez's mother, Karen White Pendragon, was entertaining guests on the first floor.
In Upper Worton, Hewitt had only revealed his identity to Nellie and Rebecca, and no one else knew of his arrival, not even Nellie's younger brother Jimmy. If it weren't for Mott's Axe being related to the two of them, Hewitt wouldn't have appeared before them.
Hewitt walked through the front hall and went to the side chamber, where many people were sitting on sofas that had been prepared, talking with friends or people they wanted to get to know.
Hewitt casually found a seat and took out a book from his pocket to read, waiting for Inez's mother to pass by.
But someone arrived here before Inez did.
Rebecca stared wide-eyed at where Hewitt was sitting.
She hadn't seen Hewitt entering the mansion just now and thought he had already left.
The next moment, Rebecca quickly walked towards Hewitt and sat down.
