The lions at the entrance were carved from white jade, and the mahogany mansion gate had a fingerprint

lock installed.

Upon entering the gate, the courtyard gives the impression of a grand palace once occupied by kings and nobles. The courtyard has three tiers and three small gardens leading up to the main hall. Passing through the last door, several renowned trees were growing in the middle of the courtyard. These trees exude an ancient and elegant aura.

The interior had a combination of traditional Chinese architecture with a modern style. The main hall had impressive rosewood furniture.

There was a large painting in the hallway. It was created by a famous painter from ancient times and is the only one of its kind in the world.

There was a plaque on the painting with prominent characters written on it: Equality.

Two servants came over to serve tea and nodded respectfully.

Violeta asked, "Where are Mr. and Mrs. Frost?"

Hayden's mom, a painter, went out to get inspired today.

Mrs. Frost and Irene were good friends who shared a passion for the arts. Whenever they met for tea, they had plenty to talk about. Irene often gave Mrs. Frost free vouchers as a gesture of friendship. She handed the gift to the servants, who received it with both hands and left.

Even the carefree Zoren always restrained himself whenever he visited the Frost family.

Zoren sipped tea and asked Violeta, "Vio, how do you like this place?"

Although the White family's mansion is considered luxurious, there is a difference between businesspeople and politicians.

The Frost family is known for being reserved, and their home is always neat and clean. However, their home is not as extravagant as the White family's.

This place has a profound and formal atmosphere that makes it feel like one needs to wear proper attire to fit in.

Violeta grinned and playfully gazed at Hayden. "It seems like we should start calling him Young Master from now on." Hayden lowered his gaze and replied, "There's no need for that."

"Let's take a look around.

Hayden found that there wasn't much to do at their home, so he decided to get another place in Liberty
