Five days later, Joyce arrived at the Ballard Group's villa as scheduled, according to her appointment with Christian. It was time to meet Christian face-to-face.
Since Luther left the Warner residence in the middle of the night, he hadn't returned in these past few days. He only sent a message through Aaron, saying that he had a sudden business trip and would be back in about a week.
Joyce knew it was most likely a lie, but she didn't expose him. After all, he didn't even want to call her back, indicating that he didn't want to deceive her with his own words.
But all of that was not important.
What was important was that she wanted to find out what kind of difficulties had led to the situation evolving to this point.
Darrin drove and brought Joyce to the front of the Ballard Group's villa.
The grand garden mansion required walking through a long green lawn to reach the entrance. The European-style castle-like house sat on the mountainside. It was dusk, and the castle was bathed in the blood-red rays of the setting sun, appearing particularly enchanting.
The castle gate was about three meters high, giving a solemn feeling that inspired awe.
Darrin sighed, "The Ballard Group is truly impressive. They're a first-rate family, extraordinary."
Joyce stood at the entrance. It was her first time coming to Christian's home, and she didn't expect it to be so stunning.
The butler, wearing white gloves, personally opened the door for them.
"Young Master, you've arrived. Please come in. Mr. Ballard is already waiting for you." The butler respectfully welcomed Joyce and led them to the guest lounge where Christian was.
The mansion was large, even more magnificent than it appeared from the outside. The floor was covered in marble, and the carpets in the corridors seemed to stretch endlessly. World-famous paintings hung on the walls, and the displayed decorations were all valuable antiques from the previous century, exuding an ancient charm.
Joyce and Darrin entered the guest lounge.
After the butler opened the door, they walked in one after another, and then the butler closed the door.
Christian was standing in front of a huge glass window. The arched glass was about two stories high, perfectly cut into diamond-shaped pieces, allowing each piece of glass to refract the sunlight beautifully. When the evening sun streamed in, it created several dazzling rainbow rays.
Christian turned slowly and his eyes lit up when he saw Joyce.
His excessively enchanting appearance was as captivating as ever.
