The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 302

None of the bodyguards in the lounge dared to make a sound.

Lucia was the only one brave enough to run her mouth.

Speak of the devil. A guard stepped up. "Ms. Corbett, they've arrived."

She brushed the crumbs off her coat and stood up, heading toward the exit.

The airport tarmac was lit up like daytime. Dozens of luxury SUVs sat idling outside, coated in a thick layer of snow that masked their original colors.

Lucia directed her men to usher the guests into the vehicles before spotting Juno trailing at the back of the group.

A shiver ran down Lucia's spine just looking at her. During their last encounter, Juno hadn't said much, yet her silence had spoken volumes.

It left Lucia entirely unsure of how to act around her.

Juno crunched through the heavy snow, breezing right past Lucia without so much as a glance.

Lucia's polite smile froze on her face.

Whatever.

She was used to it.

The convoy snaked its way up the mountain. The road was a blinding sheet of white. After what felt like hours of driving, dawn finally broke over the horizon.

It had been a three-hour drive.

The vehicles officially crossed into the territory of the Obsidian Court.

The first thing the families saw was a colossal stone statue, though the poor visibility kept them from taking in the full details.

The convoy navigated a winding path for quite a while before finally coming to a halt.

Two men in sharp suits stood in front of each vehicle, holding large black umbrellas to shield the guests from the snow as they stepped out.

Babur Corrington was absolutely floored. The estate was massive. Was all of this really under his sister's control?!

And they hadn't even seen the half of it.

Lucia smoothly materialized in front of the group. "It's been a long trip. We've prepared accommodations for everyone. Please rest and settle in. Once you're fully recovered, we'll arrange a proper tour."

Her tone was strictly professional, devoid of any excess emotion.

Unfamiliar with the grounds, the families had no choice but to follow the staff.

But when they reached the residential quarter, they were hit with another wave of shock.
