The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 528 She Is the Mastermind

Hector, ignoring Charlene's comments, calmly advised, "Charlene, focus on the road. If we miss the turn, we'll have to take a long detour, and I don't want to waste time."

Sensing Hector's genuine frustration, Charlene chose to remain silent. After a while, she instructed, "Turn left at the next traffic light."

"Got it," Hector replied.

Following Charlene's guidance, he navigated through the heart of Dithoria, winding through the area until they arrived at a place that seemed unfamiliar. When Charlene noticed a tall plane tree ahead, she instructed him to stop. "Pull over, we've arrived."

Hector surveyed the surroundings and parked along the roadside. "I'm going to buy some gifts," he said, realizing he had left in such a rush that he forgot to bring any.

It was his first visit, and since they were visiting an elder, he knew he couldn't skip the proper etiquette.

Charlene remained silent and waited by the sidewalk. Before long, Hector was back with gifts and fruit. He stood in front of her and said, "Let's go!"

"Okay."

She led the way, navigating Hector past the towering plane tree and into a slender alleyway. She opened the gate to the last house at the end of the alley. Once inside, it felt unexpectedly roomy, as though it was detached from the alley, creating two distinctly separate worlds.

"Grandma, I've brought Mr. Hector back with me," Charlene announced as they stepped in.

Hector took in the view of the spacious front yard. In the far right corner, he noticed a large plane tree with a swing hanging from it. Across from the swing sat a stone table accompanied by four stone stools.

The front yard was spotless, with just a few scattered leaves on the ground. The door to the house opened with a creak, revealing an elderly woman with white hair and a face full of wrinkles. She moved slowly and with some difficulty.

"Grandma." Charlene hurried over, gently taking her arm.
