Chapter 126: THE WEIGHT OF THE NEWS
Rudeous was speaking with one of his younger brothers inside the villa.
Upstairs, on the second-floor, Mirena was talking with Darius in her room’s balcony.
Meanwhile, Alice was inside her room on the ground floor, busy with personal tasks.
Everyone was occupied with something.
Then suddenly—
A carriage came to a halt in front of the main gate of Smith family villa.
It was a luxurious carriage, with elegant carvings that sparkled in the morning sunlight like diamonds.
The guards at the gate became alert immediately. One glance at the carriage was enough to understand that someone important had arrived.
Among the two guards stationed there, one quickly ran inside to inform Rudeous, while the other stepped forward to help the coachman open the door and welcome the guest with proper respect.
From the balcony above, both Mirena and Darius had already noticed the arrival. Their eyes were locked on the carriage.
Rudeous and his younger brother Rion were already coming out of the villa toward the main gate.
Alice, too, heard the commotion outside and looked in that direction, coming out of her room.
