Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 235

Even though Ms. Scott came back with the Fredericks, unless Mr. Coleman gave the green light, neither she nor her car could set foot on the Anderson family's turf.

Frederick and Jeannie exchanged glances. They were both aware that something major had gone down between Stefan and Ms. Scott during their vacation.

Stefan had already made it clear: Ms. Scott was not allowed to go into the estate.

Whether Stefan was right or wrong, they had to back him up for now.

So they hopped out of the car, grabbing their luggage.

"Mr. Anderson, Ms. Coleman, why are you getting out? The estate's main house is still a ways off from the entrance. It'll take at least ten minutes on foot. I can drive you."

Ruby was caught off guard by the fact that Stefan would completely ban her from the estate. But she quickly realized that she had two options at this point: either she could chauffeur the Fredericks in, or she was stuck cooling her heels at the entrance.

"We're good. We've been sitting all day on a plane and then in the car. Our feet are about to swell up. A little walk sounds good right about now; it might help with that," replied Jeannie with a calm smile. Bag in hand and Frederick dragging their suitcases, they started walking into the estate.

Seeing this, the security on duty rushed over to help with the luggage.

Another guard dialed inside, and in no time, the butler had sent a car to pick them up.

"Ms. Coleman!" Ruby called out in a hurry.

She could clearly see the entrance to the estate through the wrought-iron gates and panicked when she saw the Fredericks about to enter.

"Ms. Coleman, I'm here for Grandma Savannah. If she doesn't see me, she might worry."

Jeannie had just gotten back and wasn't entirely up to speed, but one of the guards honestly said, "Grandma Savannah went down the hill. Patrick Anderson went with her. They're probably in the flower field. No one mentioned anything about Grandma Savannah needing Ms. Scott."

Besides, there were plenty of workers at the foot of the hill living with their parents. Grandma Savannah loved chatting with the elderly. There was no way she'd be bored. She didn't need a young person to keep her company.

Ruby shot the guard a glare.

The guard was taken aback. He hadn't said anything wrong. Why was Ms. Scott glaring at him?

Confident he'd done nothing wrong, the guard stared back at Ms. Scott.

He hadn't done anything wrong, so he wasn't afraid of a stare-down! If it was a competition to see who had bigger eyes, he wasn't convinced he'd lose!

Jeannie laughed. "Ruby, since you're here for Grandma Savannah, why don't you head down to the flower field where she is? We'll go in and drop our bags."

"Alright."

Ruby was speechless.

That was just how the Andersons rolled. They seemed polite to Ruby, but the minute she had a beef with Stefan, they'd unhesitatingly side with Stefan.

The young people in the Anderson family might even say, "If we're not backing Stefan, who are we backing? Who gives you the right as an outsider to ask for our support?"

About ten minutes later.

In the main house's living room, the Fredericks were sitting on the couch, sizing up Vincent Moore across from them.
