"From the looks of it, yes. And that's where my plan comes in. If anyone, whoever wrote this articles, is expecting a late response from you, mother anger, internal family crisis, things like that that can act as a ton of delay, giving them the opportunity to capitalize on it," She glanced between her parents as she added her last point. "So we're going to beat them to it."

How?" Cassandra asked.

But even if he wanted to object further, the look of determination in Leonica's eyes made it hard for him to utter another word.

He sighed. "Alright." He agreed. "And what's the final thing?"

Leonica stood up the window of her father's study, watching as Alan and a few other maids welcomed free into the mansion

There's no turning back no, she thought, stepping away from the window just as Meredith, another maid of the house came up to inform her of Irene's arrival.

"Thank you Meredith," She said with her usual kind smile, before proceeding to ask "Did you prepare the room 1 sloed for?"!

The maid nodded her head. "Yes madam."

"Thank you once again,Leonica gently patted her shoulder. "Please take care of tree while I'm not alound

"Madam," Meredith was moved by her words. Not everyone had the heart to accept the sudden appearance of an illegitimate child, but Leonica had done just that, with open arms will do pust that."

brenica smiled at her once again, before leaving the room and making her way downstairs, where Irene had been led to the living room.
