Chapter 172 Dave Carson
Zen’s mouth dropped open as he surveyed the parking space. It was expansive, and if it included the other side where Bry’s father was parked, it could easily accommodate ten cars. "How far does your parking space extend?" he asked, seeking clarification.
Hera tilted her head, scanning the spacious garage before gesturing from one location to another. "From there to here," she replied, indicating the expanse of her parking space. "I believe I can fit more than 20 cars in here."
Zen’s jaw dropped in awe as he followed Hera’s gaze around the expansive space. "That’s literally half of the parking space here!" he exclaimed, his eyes wide with amazement. After a moment of absorbing the scale of it all, he added, "Even my grandfather didn’t have that much parking space here."
Hera’s eyebrow raised as she stared at Zen. "Your grandfather lives here?"
Caught off guard by his slip of the tongue, Zen’s gaze darted around, evading the question. However, he didn’t want to deceive Hera, leaving him unsure of what to say next. Fortunately, Xavier intervened. "Why don’t we send Bry’s uncle up inside first, so that he could rest?"
Zen immediately agreed and hurriedly distanced himself from Hera. "That’s a great idea! Uncle, let me push your wheelchair."
"I’m so excited to see where my sister lives! This place is amazing, like the ones I’ve seen on TV!" Bry exclaimed, his eyes wide with excitement as he looked around. He had eagerly pressed his face to the truck window earlier when he caught sight of the extravagant gate and buildings.
Before they headed inside, Hera made sure to text Cindy, instructing her not to go to her penthouse because Xavier would be there. This was why she was stalling in the garage, even entertaining Zen’s questions. If Xavier spotted Cindy, it could heighten his suspicions further, especially since Hera was already aware of their doubts about her identity.
Since her parking space was right beside the elevator, they didn’t need to walk far. Hera led them to the elevator, tapped her card key on the sensor, and once it turned green, she pushed the button for the penthouse.
The buildings within the Green Dragon Manor were all equipped with this type of elevator to ensure 100% security for homeowners or renters. Without a card key, access to the floors was restricted, preventing unauthorized entry. This design minimized the need for extensive security patrols, with personnel primarily stationed at the entrance and lobby.
As the elevator ascended a single floor, the doors slid open to reveal the ground floor.
