Chapter 1229

"It was just brought back the day before yesterday and it has been kept in the annex." Suzy took one step to the

side and motioned Lily to look inside with a tilt of her head. "Look, is it very mighty?"

Lily looked inside the annex and saw that there was truly a big dog chained up in there. The big dog was panting

heavily while looking outside and it gave Lily such a fright that she involuntarily took a step back.

"This dog is a little frightening," Lily said while laughing, "did you come to the annex to feed it?"

"That's right." Suzy nodded. "Such a big dog can't be kept in the main building as it would frighten the children, so it

can only be kept in the annex."

"Oh, I see."

Lily nodded and then said, "Alright then. 1'11 go look elsewhere."

"Alright. Do you need me to help you?"

"No need. No need."

Lily waved and left quickly. Suzy secretly grinned behind her.

After Lily returned to the main building, she happened to see Meredith and Josiah taking the children down the

stairs.

Meredith followed Lily into the kitchen and asked softly, "How was it, Lily? Did you see anything strange?"

Lily shook her head and said softly, "Mrs. Shelby is keeping a very big brown dog in the annex. Suzy went over to

feed the dog."

"A big brown dog?" Meredith was slightly surprised.

Could it be that Suzy was holding dog food? Then, why did she act so mysteriously?

"Yes. That dog looks a little scary. Suzy said she was afraid that it would frighten the children, so she did not dare to

keep it in the main building."

Lily saw that Meredith's expression was very serious, so she asked in confusion, "Miss Meredith, you seem to care

why Suzy went to the annex, don't you?"

Meredith regained her senses and shook her head. "No, I was just a little curious. It's nothing. Thank you, Lily."

She indeed was very concerned about it.

That was because she was more and more curious about Ivy's whereabouts.



Mrs. Shelby was the head of the house, so she could do whatever she wanted. If she wanted to raise a big dog, why

did she need to do it so secretly?

Besides, Josiah would not mind about these kinds of small matters either.

The more Lily told her about it, the more Meredith felt curious. It seemed like she had to go to the annex personally

to see what was going on.

"Edith, come on over for breakfast," Josiah called out to her from the dining room.

"Alright," Meredith walked toward the dining room.

While having her breakfast, she kept thinking about how she

should tell Josiah about this matter.

What should she do if it was just a misunderstanding?

At the same time, Suzy had already returned to Mrs. Shelby's bedroom and she said to her with great anxiety,

"Ma’am, something's happened. They seemed to be starting to suspect that Miss Landers is locked up in the annex

by you."

"Who?" Mrs. Shelby was having breakfast and her spoon stopped in mid-air a little.

"I don't know if it's Mister Josiah or Miss Meredith. Lily had gone to the annex to check it out just now. It was

fortunate that I came out sooner. Otherwise, I would be caught red-handed by her," Suzy said while still feeling

anxious, "it was also very fortunate that you are very smart to put a dog in there in advance as a cover-up.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to find a reason to brush her off."

"Useless. I only asked you to do such a small thing but you're still so careless about it!" Mrs. Shelby glared at her

angrily.

Suzy hung her head sheepishly, and then she immediately comforted her, "But, Ma'am, don't worry. Lily should

have believed what I told her."

"Once a person starts to be suspicious, the suspicion wouldn't be eliminated so easily." Mrs. Shelby shot a glance at

her angrily. " None of you are clever. What's the use for keeping all of you?"
