In the summer, the weather was rather impermanent. After a heavy rain, the gloomy air disappeared, with fresh air constantly flowing in through the window.
Sara sat in front of the study, breathing in the fresh air, and her depressed mood instantly lightened up.
The staged wedding that had happened in Richards Manor, as well as the fact that Hansen had personally clarified the rumor of him getting a second wife, improved Sara's mood.
Hansen was truly in love with Jenna. Through this incident, she was able to make out what was going on.
Although Sara disagreed with Hansen's method of 'marrying a second wife' to solve the problem. Nonetheless, after careful analysis, this kind of arrangement was also the best shortcut to solving the problem.
She took a deep breath and looked down from the French windows.
Even though she was on the 28th floor, she keenly noticed the disturbance of the neighbourhood below as she sat there everyday to enjoy the scenery outside the house.
Five black cars drove in from the Francist Community's main entrance.
Such cars were not driven by ordinary people.
After all, Sara was also an official's wife. She used to follow Javon and participate in various governmental administrative meetings. Hence, she knew that the cars' license plates were only available for government officials.
Moreover, they were not used by the common officials.
She sat quietly, but the expression on her face was indifferent and desolate.
Since Javon left, Sara's life had been quiet and bleak. Jenna was the only one who could bring her slight happiness when she returned. Other than that, Sara's life had turned monotonous.
This residential area was for the family members of government personnel. Thus, it was common for such a grand government vehicle to appear. Therefore, she didn't think too much about it. After all, those had nothing to do with her.
Life was like that. After Javon's death, the mother and daughter duo became an orphan and a widow. The people who usually surrounded them no longer appeared. Such vicissitudes of life were normal. Sara's heart was as calm as a millpond,
and she was indifferent and unperturbed.
Madam Lilian sat in the car and carefully observed the area's landscaped garden. She figured that they must have had a good life before Javon met with an accident. At the thought of that, she relaxed.
After the car was parked on the ground floor, Quina helped Madam Lilian get out of the car.
A few more military vehicles followed behind quietly. This was a detailed arrangement made by Quina. Considering the sudden incident in the hospital previously, she had to make ample preparation this time.
The elevator stopped on the 28th floor.
Quina carefully held Madam Lilian as they exited the elevator.
One of the bodyguards came forward and rang the doorbell.
After a long while, someone opened a small door from the inside.
Bailey looked out from the inside and noticed a dame with an extraordinary temperament and two bodyguards standing at the door. There was also a middle-aged woman with glasses on, who was rather classy, holding onto the lady.
Bailey was stunned and was sure that she did not know them.
That was strange. Who could those people be?
"Who are you looking for?" Her face was full of surprise as she asked with vigilance. In the past few days, Bailey had the feeling that someone was following her when she had gone out to shop for groceries. Furthermore, their building seemed to have more mysterious strangers than usual, making her feel very uneasy. Hence, she became more alarmed.
"Hello, may I ask if Madam Sara lives here?" Quina smiled and asked amicably.
"You are..." Bailey did not open the door even though they mentioned Sara's name. Instead, it was obvious from her tone that she felt even more suspicious about it, and she did not hide the doubts on her face.
"Oh, it's like this. Our Madam wants to visit Madam Sara. Is that okay?" Quina gave a polite smile.
Madam?
Bailey's eyes fell on the noble woman who was standing in the middle.
This woman's temperament was noble and elegant, and her outfit was different from the others. The imposing aura she exuded was something she had never seen in so many years.
Bailey looked at Madam Lilian's face again. Her delicate facial features made her look as if she was in her fifties. She looked polished and behaved in a very dignified manner, which made her look extremely approachable.
She stood there quietly with a kind smile on her face. However, the noble and formidable aura she emitted could not be ignored.
Bailey watched on. Suddenly, she felt as if the face, nose, and eyes in front of her were somewhat familiar, as if they had once met each other. However, she couldn't recall where she had seen her.
"Please rest assured. We have no ill intention. We just wish to visit Madam Sara. We heard that she is not in good health. So, we are here to see her. Please open the door and let us in." Quina was all smiles as she explained patiently.
Seeing that scene, Bailey understood that they wanted to pay Sara a visit. It was likely that they wouldn't leave if they couldn't meet her. She thought for a moment before politely replying, "Then, please wait for a moment. I'll go in and ask for Madam's opinion first."
As she spoke, Bailey turned around and went to Sara's study.
"Madam, there's a dame outside wanting to meet you. She even brings along a few people," she whispered to Sara, who was sitting there in a daze.
"Oh, who are they? Why do they want to see me?" Sara answered with an 'oh' indifferently. She didn't seem fazed by it, and her expression was calm.
