The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 118

Riley couldn't even summon the energy to engage with them. She looked straight at Arthur. "I agreed to play this part for one month, but if they keep coming after me, I can't guarantee I'll keep acting. Also, I haven't mentioned the divorce once, yet they won't stop screaming about it. When the news leaks, don't blame me."

With that, she turned on her heel and walked into her bedroom.

Arthur stared thoughtfully at Riley's retreating back.

In the past, she had always been submissive and obedient. He hadn't expected the demand for a divorce to change her so drastically.

She was truly done. She completely stopped caring.

It was for the best that she finally knew her place. A woman of her lowly status never deserved to step foot into the Landon family to begin with.

"Grandpa..."

Serena tried to whine again, but Arthur cut her off with a vicious snap. "Can you shut up for five minutes? We are in the St. John estate! If you can't control your mouth, I will send you back to Riverport immediately!"

He then shot a heavy, warning glare at Beatrice before turning to Pierce. "Come. Accompany me to the main house to pay our respects to Lady Eleanor."

Pierce nodded and helped Arthur down the stairs.

Back in her room, Riley assessed the layout. There was only one bed, but a comfortable sofa sat by the window. She could sleep on the sofa tonight.

While unpacking, she checked the wardrobe but didn't find any spare blankets.

The estate was nestled deep in the mountains, meaning the temperature would plummet at night. Even though it was early summer, sleeping without a cover would guarantee a cold.

Just as she was thinking about it, the landline on the bedside table rang.

Riley picked it up. "Hello."

"Good morning, Mrs. Landon. Lady Eleanor has arranged for lunch to be served in the main house. A golf cart will arrive at your villa in ten minutes to pick you up. Please be ready."

"Understood. When the driver comes, could you ask him to bring an extra blanket?"

As they drove, the butler provided a brief tour. The estate spanned over a thousand acres and included a racetrack, a golf course, heated pools, a private dock, a private airstrip, a shooting range, and a state-of-the-art gym.

If they ever wished to use any of the amenities, they only needed to call, and a car would take them immediately.

Listening to the butler's description, Riley was silently floored. The sheer scale and opulence of a top-tier Statenbury family was unimaginable. Compared to this sprawling paradise, the Landon family's luxurious mansion was little more than a starter home.

As they drove past a dense, beautiful bamboo grove, Serena excitedly leaned forward. "Is this Willow Grove?"

The butler nodded from the driver's seat. "Yes, miss. This is Mr. St. John's private residence. Without his explicit permission, absolutely no one is allowed to enter."

Serena's eyes practically glued themselves to the bamboo. Even after the cart drove past, she twisted around in her seat, staring intensely, as if hoping to catch a glimpse of the luxury hidden within.

Soon, the cart pulled up to the entrance of the massive main house.

The butler stepped out and gestured respectfully. "Right this way, please. Lady Eleanor is expecting you inside."
