Cole stood beside the carriage as the coachman disposed of Faye, creating the illusion of an awful attack not too far away, and then cleaned the carriage.
Cole entered the carriage once most of the blood was removed and returned to the mansion.
"Clean every bit of blood until the carriage is spotless. Do not let anyone see the blood or get inside the carriage until I have inspected it in the morning," Cole ordered the coachman.
Cole fixed his coat, inspecting it for blood as he walked into the mansion. He wanted to find Victoria to inform her that the matter was over.
When Victoria heard the news, would she be relieved and thank him?
Or, would she continue to be distant?
Cole thought of going to see Victoria first, but with his late return, Rosalie would be concerned about his whereabouts.
Cole didn't have any other choice but to put Victoria second and Rosalie first. He went up to his bedchamber, and inside, Rosalie was sitting with a maid.
