Caleb recognized the hood ornament instantly...
The iconic Flying B of a Bentley.
A car like that cost easily over half a million dollars!
Caleb and Lydia quickly stumbled backward, giving the massive vehicle plenty of space.
The heavy door swung open.
A tall, broad-shouldered man in a sharp black suit stepped out. "Excuse me."
He addressed them directly before gesturing toward the backseat with an open hand. "Please, get in."
Caleb and Lydia exchanged a panicked look, glancing nervously up and down the street.
They were completely alone.
Caleb swallowed hard, pointing a trembling finger at himself. "Are... are you talking to us?"
"Yes, Mr. Sommers, Ms. Brooks," the man smiled warmly. "Miss Serena sent me to bring you to her estate."
Miss Serena?
Caleb and Lydia stared at him in utter shock.
How did she know they were waiting at the campus gates?
And more importantly...
She sent a personal driver for them?
Wasn't Serena supposed to be a small-town girl who had nothing?
How could she casually dispatch a car that cost more than their lives to pick them up?
They huddled closer together, throwing suspicious glances at the man.
Was he...
Really sent by Serena?
After Serena’s chilling warning yesterday, they had been on edge.
Thinking about the sponsored students who had mysteriously vanished "abroad" and Serena’s strict order to stop taking the Doyle family's medication...
A terrifying thought crept into their minds.
What if this man was a cleaner for the Doyle family?
They had publicly humiliated Bianca Doyle yesterday. Knowing Bianca, she had definitely complained to her family.
If the Doyle family realized they could no longer be controlled...
Serena's breathtaking face filled the cracked screen.
She was clearly still in bed. Her dark hair spilled over her shoulders, her eyes heavy with sleep, radiating a lazy, effortless elegance.
Even as a straight woman.
Lydia felt her heart skip a beat, completely mesmerized by her beauty.
Caleb nudged her gently. "Serena, we are so sorry to wake you up this early..."
"Go with him," Serena mumbled, letting out a soft yawn. "It's about an hour's drive. Someone will meet you at the gates when you arrive."
Lydia nodded furiously. "O-okay, Serena."
"Yeah," Serena yawned again. "I'm going back to sleep. Wake me when you get here."
The screen went black.
Breathing a massive sigh of relief, Lydia and Caleb cautiously climbed into the back of the Bentley.
An hour later.
The two students found themselves standing in front of a towering set of wrought-iron gates.
The morning sun bathed the metal in a golden glow.
