Chapter 2008 We Need To Talk

It was three in the afternoon.

Lorraine was watering the plants in the garden in Madilyn's mansion when three black Mercedes-Benzes rolled to a stop at the entrance.

A few bodyguards hopped off their cars and opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz in the middle.

A well-dressed middle-aged man with a cane stepped out of the car followed by a woman of similar age, bedecked in expensive jewelry.

After emerging from the vehicle, she glanced at the mansion, disdain evident in her gaze.

“It looks like your daughter is doing well in Horington. She can even afford to buy a mansion!” the middle-aged woman said arrogantly in a thick Xandenian accent.

The man bore an icy and intimidating expression.

He was Norton Sheffield, the owner of Sheffield Group, which was the biggest company in Xendale. The woman standing beside him was his wife, Mildred Hinton.

His assistant came nearer to him and said politely, "Mr. Sheffield, this is the right address. Ms. Madilyn stays here.”
