Two servants who were attending to the Mendoza family approached Devin and questioned him.
"Devin, are they really Mrs. Blanchet's relatives? They don't seem like they're cut from the same cloth as Mrs. Blanchet at all."
“Tell me about it! They don't look like they're here for a visit; it’s more like they're here to take over our house! They even mentioned about redoing our yard, chopping down that old pine tree, and tossing away all of Putnam's precious flowers!”
Hearing this, Devin was also puzzled by the Mendoza family's behavior.
"Alright, it's none of your business to discuss Mrs. Blanchet's guests. Prepare some more snacks and fruits for the guests! It’s their first visit; we can't be rude no matter what.”
“Roger that.”

Sheila happily sat on the high-end fabric sofa in the living room, finding it much more comfortable than the one at home. It was so comfy that she was ready to doze off.
But she wasn't a big fan of the sofa's style; although it looked posh, it was a bit too old-fashioned.
She was frowning at the mansion's decor like she was the lady of the house.
“Ugh, why is none of the decor here to my taste?! All these pieces of furniture look so pricey, but they feel a bit dated. I prefer more modern home decor!”
Tracy, sitting next to her, chuckled and said, “No worries; when you move in later, you'll be the lady of the house! You can have it renovated any way you want; just tell Mr. Blanchet, and he’ll definitely make it happen!”
