Chapter 647 Visit
Veronica rang the doorbell, and a pudgy, bearded foreigner approached her. He asked in Chinese, “Who are you? Are you looking for someone?”
She answered in fluent Chinese, “I’m Veronica, Yvonne’s friend. Mr. and Mrs. Spencer know I’m coming.” “Oh, it’s you. Come in.” The man cracked a smile right after she announced herself. He opened the golden gates and welcomed her. “Please get into the car, Miss Murphy. I’ll take you there.”
“Sure, thank you.” She got into the car, and the servant drove her through a few vineyards before finally arriving at the castle. “Weird. Where are the other servants?”
The Spencers had ten thousand acres of land, yet there was barely anyone around. It felt forlorn, even. Like the place was abandoned.
“The manor’s sold. The master and madam will be moving out soon, so they sent most servants on their way,” the servant in the car sighed.
Veronica was shocked, but she decided not to ask any further. She got out of the car and followed the servant into the great hall. The moment she entered, she saw a couple on the couch talking about something.
“Sir, Madam, Miss Yvonne’s friend is here,” the servant approached them and announced. The Spencers looked at her and stood up.
She went up to them politely. “Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, I’m Veronica. Yvonne’s my friend. I just landed in Castron, so I thought I would swing by for a visit.”
The Spencer couple was in foreign attire due to them living most of their lives here.
Mrs. Spencer’s short hair was tied up in a bun. She was wearing a black wool sweater and adorned a light grey shawl made of mink fur. She was nearly fifty years old, but the lady kept herself well, and a hint of beauty remained. Unlike the other ladies in the upper society, she didn’t bother with resplendence. Though she had light makeup on, it couldn’t hide the harried and sorrowful look in her eyes. She looked at her husband solemnly before approaching Veronica. “So, you’re Veronica?”
