In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 387

It took about two hours by car to reach Jessica's house from Coronia University.

The road was bumpy along the way. During the journey, Callum briefed them on Jessica's background.

In short, she was the only child from a wealthy family. This became evident when they saw the large villa when they got to the Landon family's house.

The villa had an antique design, with a large garden in front featuring meticulously cared-for flowers and plants.

"This is the place," Callum said, stepping out of the car first.

"Let's go look," Xander said, reassuringly gripping Grace's hand.

Grace nodded and followed him out of the car.

Standing outside the villa, they started to examine it closely.

Callum was the first to speak. "Theoretically, the Landon family hasn't lived here for a long time, but the villa is so well-kempt. It doesn't look abandoned."

After saying this, he stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

Soon, a woman in her 50s or 60s emerged from the house and slowly approached the door, asking, "Who are you looking for?"

Grace stepped forward with a smile. "Hello, is this Landon Residence?"

The woman sized up Grace suspiciously and asked, "And you are?"

Before Grace could respond, Xander said, "We're Ms. Jessica's friends. She asked us to come get something for her."

Grace turned to look at him. Their eyes met, and Xander gave her a reassuring glance.

The woman still seemed suspicious of them. "You're Ms. Jessica's friends?"

"Yes."
