The car stopped at the roadside and three black luxury cars also came to a halt. There were seven or eight people getting out of the cars.
“What are they doing?” Tiana who stood behind Charles White looked at those people and asked.
Charles shook his head as he also had no idea who they were.
They carried some small and large boxes from the carriage and one of the boxes looked like the kind of metal lockbox that was used to load the valuable things.
Each of them carried one box towards the villa.
“Let’s follow them in.” Tiana said.
Charles also wanted to see what these people were doing, so he nodded and followed them into the front yard of the villa. The person at the front rang the doorbell.
Coral was the one who opened the door. Because of yesterday’s news, Dolores Flores probably knew what Matthew Nelson went to do in the past few days, but he still didn’t come back. She was worried about him, so she didn’t sleep much at night and woke up early in the morning. She thought that he should be back, but he didn’t return until noon. After she had eaten something, she felt sleepy and went upstairs to take a nap.
In the living room, Jayden Nelson and Andrew Nelson were playing chess while Theresa Gordon and Kevin were accompanying Amanda Nelson to play poker game.
The air conditioner was switched on and it made the house cool. Lucy was washing fruit in the kitchen as they would eat fruit half an hour after having lunch.
When the doorbell was rung, everyone unconsciously glanced at the door as they thought Matthew was back since he didn’t return for a few days.
Coral also thought so. However, the person standing outside the door wasn’t the one they expected when the door opened.
“Who are you?” Coral asked warily.
“We are from insurance company.” The man who wore a black suit stood straight and looked handsome, with white gloves on his hands, “We were entrusted by Mr. Nelson to deliver the things here.”
“Insurance company?” Even though Coral was doubtful, she was familiar with the words ‘Mr. Nelson’.
“We are LEO Corporation’s staff,” The other four people said.
Theresa reacted quickly as she immediately knew what these people were doing once she heard they were LEO Corporation’s staff. Dolores told she was going to hold a wedding with Matthew, so there must be a lot of wedding supplies to be purchased.
Was her wedding gown being customized in LEO Corporation?
She put down the poker cards in her hand and patted Amanda, “Go upstairs and call your mommy to come down.”
The little girl was obedient, she put down the playing cards and ran upstairs.
Theresa was afraid she would fall and instructed her to be slower.
There were a total of eight people and soon a dozen people came in, coupled with Charles and Tiana.
Luckily the place was big enough so it didn’t look crowded.
“When do you come over?” Charles asked when he saw Kevin.
“It’s Matthew wedding. How can I be absent?” he said.
Charles was suddenly enlightened and seemed to know what these people roughly did in an instant.
“How come you came over?” Kevin asked him.
Charles was out of his mind and he just recovered his wits when Tiana touched him with her hand. Then he tilted his head to look at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Kevin looked at him with doubts and curiosity, and said, “I’m asking you, how come you came over here.”
He said, “I accompany Tiana over here and we’re going back to White City. She is here to bade farewell to Lo …Ms. Flores.”
He was about to say ‘Lola’, but he promptly swallowed the word and changed it to ‘Ms. Flores’.
Andrew also stopped playing chess with Jayden, then ran over and wanted to see what was packed in the box.
As Dolores was pulled by her daughter to come downstairs, she just saw so many people in the living room.
Amanda didn’t notice Tiana before she went upstairs. When she came downstairs, she just saw her and shouted in surprise, “Tiana.”
Dolores looked over and saw Charles and Tiana.
She greeted calmly, “You guys have come over.”
Charles slightly tilted his head and watched her walking down stairs, holding her daughter’s hand and holding the handrail of the stairs. She looked careful and her protruding stomach could be clearly seen as she wore a skirt.
