"Carson? You... you... are home?" The sudden appearance of Carson startled Madilyn. Shouldn't he be at the municipal office at this hour? Why was he at home?
Kenia was also dumbfounded when she saw him. "Dad, why are you back?"
"Who did you say cheated you hundreds of thousands of dollars?" Carson came over and stared at Madilyn. He had gone to visit Elsie again earlier that day, and only then he learned she was nearly defiled. Carson was so exasperated that his heart had throbbed in pain. If it weren't for Charlie noticing that something was wrong, Carson didn't know what dreadful things would have happened.
Elsie had a tough personality. If the men had done something to her, she would certainly end her life. Carson was distressed, angry, and even more upset. It was all because of him.
