StarNovelChapter 319 "What? Mrs. Sutton toldto pack my bags the other night, saying someone from the Sutton family would pickup in a few days." Kara was visibly frantic upon hearing that.
She got caught between a rock and a hard place. Where was she supposed to go if the Sutton family backed out? "Ms. Orson, don't worry. I'll check with Mrs. Sutton," the maid reassured her, shifting her gaze toward Audrey on the couch.

It's just that Mr. Sutton is adamant about not having extra guests. Last night, Mrs. Sutton gave him a piece of her mind, but he's been stubborn. We're at a bit of a standstill." Audrey shook her head subtly at the maid.
The maid cut her off. "Don't fret, Ms. Orson. If I remember correctly, your lease is up at the end of the month, right? Your place is close to the university, so why not stay there longer? You might have to shuttle back and forth for a few days. Rest assured. Once Mrs. Sutton convinces Mr. Sutton, someone will go to pick you up immediately." "But I..." After hearing that, Kara's anxiety deepened. She had been waiting in this neighborhood for two days and had to wait even longer! But before she could finish her thought, the maid had excused herself and hung up.
Staring at the disconnected call, Kara felt a chill. No place to stay and no money? What was she supposed to do next? Johanna was in debt and couldn't provide her with any financial support, and Freya had made it clear 0 that she was unwelcby the Dawson family. With all her belongings, how could she move to a nearby hotel without taking a cab? One problem after another overwhelmed Kara, her hands trembling uncontrollably. She regretted leaving so hastily without securing a fallback plan. Meanwhile, back at the Sutton Mansion, "Mrs. Sutton, are you not planning to let Ms. Orson stay?" the maid inquired, getting Audrey's intentions.
Audrey responded icily, "Sure, the girl is manageable and easy to handle, but her background is way too lowly. The Sutton family isn't just for anyone. If she's ok with lowering herself to serve, then let her. After all Kieran needs a submissive woman by his side." Audrey had always disliked Johanna. And, by extension, she wasn't fond of Kara. If it weren't for the desire to have someone more easily controlled to keep Kieran in check, Audrey wouldn't have considered letting Kara stay at the Sutton Mansion.
Her previous invitation was politeness. And she had never m expected Kara to take it seriously. What a naïve girl.

Since arriving in the city, the need for money was everywhere, and her savings of seven thousand had dwindled to dwindled to nearly nothing. Five hundred dollars was barely enough for two nights' stay. Just then, she caught the sound of her classmates' laughter and chatter coming from up the street.
Kara paused, stunned.
They had noticed her, too, including her disheveled luggage.
