The Stone residence wasn't far from where she and Tanner stayed, but Eliza still had the chauffeur detour the city center.
She didn't dare expose any telltale signs going back to her family this time, anxious. After calming down, she got out of the car and hailed a taxi to the Stone residence.
A bad feeling kept stirring within her as if something horrible would happen. Could it have anything to do with Gracelynn? Her text was indeed worrying.
Clenching her phone in her hands, Eliza felt very disturbed, both anxious about returning to her family and concerned about Gracelynn.
A smooth ride, and she reached the residency in no time.
It was around noon when Eliza entered the main door.
Marco didn't have Tanner's taste, displaying every valuable item he got. The interior design was even lavish, as if people would look down on him if he didn't do so.
There was a backyard with some flowers and grass, but it was used for welcoming guests and holding parties. The various high-end decor there gave the area a secular feel. Marco usually never allowed anyone to go there as well.
The servants were all busy. The place was massive, and they had a lot of cleaning to do; their daily workload was rather heavy.
No one paid any attention to Eliza the entire time.
The place sure hadn't changed even a bit, as aloof as ever.
Upstairs, Raelyn stood in front of the monitor, pleased with what she was watching.
What did it feel like to be back, my dear Eliza? Because of Tanner, she must be well respected in that mansion, but so what? She was still nothing here.
It didn't feel good falling from the heavens, did it, Eliza?
Raelyn left the monitoring room and locked the door.
Only she and her father held the keys to the control room. That pair of mother and daughter were, after all, outsiders no matter how; they could never compare to her before her father.
Ironic, though. It probably had to do with genetics that Eliza loved to steal other people's men like her wh*re of a mother. Who did they think they were to be a part of her family?!
For years she had borne the shame of calling that woman her mother. It wouldn't be outrageous to find a bit of pleasure in her beloved daughter's misery, would it?
After all, that woman valued her father more than her life. No matter what she did, her so-called mother would tolerate it.
But now, it was time to greet her sweet little sister.
Raelyn came down in a long dress, looking elegant and composed.
"Eliza."
Just then, Eliza was in the hall, slowly walking toward the stairs.
The Stones had a spiral staircase with a massive crystal chandelier hanging in the middle. Coupled with the surrounding treasures, Raelyn looked even more elegant and otherworldly.
"Raelyn."
