We’re ho! ???
May Sloane looked at the wide highway outside, beautifully landscaped on both sides, an eight-lane road.
She thought this was just the land of Banyria, but it turned out to be bought by the Ford family.
Then, in shock, May’s car continued driving for another ten minutes.
In these ten minutes, surrounded by mountains and water, this was still the bustling financial city of Banyria.
Oh my, it felt like there was gold everywhere.
The Ford family is incredibly wealthy, aren’t they?
Such a large land is almost like a realm, bought rely for driving, not for business...
Too rich...
Indeed, poverty limits her imagination.
Tiana Thorne also felt this spending was extravagant and turned back to ask him, "Brother, why did you buy this place?"
"This is the road to the old Ford Manor. Mother likes peace and quiet, so she bought it," Maxim Ford explained.
Tiana Thorne: "..."
Indeed, Ms. Jarvis is an extraordinary person, even in what she enjoys, it’s so distinctive.
Her spending is generous, no wonder she was the irreplaceable goddess in everyone’s hearts of the previous generation.
She suddenly rembered the last ti she sent her brother ho and curiously asked, "Brother, wasn’t the Ford family sowhere else last ti?"
"That was a villa in the city center, built by Dad specifically for Mom. She lives there occasionally, but spends most of her ti here."
Tiana nodded, "Dad must love Mom a lot, right?"
"Mm," Maxim nodded.
Tiana smiled, no wonder. A woman as excellent and talented as Mom is rare in the world, and Dad, having married her, would of course cherish her greatly.
"We’re here."
In the distance, they saw the two large gold characters of Ford Manor, stunningly luxurious, richly carved.
May glanced at them and imdiately froze, saying with near disbelief, "Those must be made of pure gold."
Tiana Thorne: "Really?"
May looked intently; it seed certain. But it felt improbable that anyone would use gold for a plaque—it was too extravagant.
"Yes, it’s pure gold, and the carvings on it are crafted by a goldsmith, probably hard gold, with high purity."
May once again felt overwheld by the absurdity of it all.
It’s truly gold, such a big plaque—if it fell, the person below would surely be crushed to death...
Oh heavens...
Indeed, she’s too poor to imagine that a plaque could be made of gold.
She’s unfit to be an agent...
This is too shocking—even the palace wouldn’t have a pure gold plaque.
Tiana explained to her, "In ancient tis, such plaques existed, but people would try to steal them, so they hired experts for protection. At that ti, they were private residences of high officials."
"But what’s the use of a golden plaque?"
If it serves no purpose, why go to such extravagant lengths?
Tiana raised her brow lightly and smiled, "Oh, it has two purposes."
May was already captivated, quickly asking, "What two purposes?"
"The first is to flaunt one’s wealthy status as a lord."
Inside the car: "..."
Felix Grant: "..."
Maxim Ford just smiled faintly.
May: "...Can you be more serious?"
Tiana licked her lips, her smile enticing, "I’m stating the facts. Besides, with a mother like mine, buying such a large piece of land just to leave it unused and hire workers to clean it proves she’s very rich, and doing such things isn’t strange at all. It shows she’s also a very refined and life-loving woman."
When she grows old, she might do the sa, granted she earns as much money.
May, after hearing this, seed to understand, lightly furrowed her brows, and asked, "And the second purpose you ntioned?"
"The second purpose is to use the plaque to ward off so evil spirits, preventing them from invading and disturbing the peace of the manor. The gold is like the light emitted by a Buddha, and with this plaque, the entire estate is protected, ensuring nothing unclean can get near."
Listening, May shuddered, "Tiana, are you trying to fool ? There’s nothing unclean in this world."
"Such things exist only if you believe; they vanish if you don’t. But as long as you have a clear conscience, believing or not, you needn’t worry," Tiana said with a smile.
"Oh... alright."
Subsequently, they all entered the estate.
Indeed, Tiana’s guessing was spot on. Now it’s clear that Rouge Jarvis must have used the plaque for both purposes.
The entire estate is enveloped in a grand and wealthy aura, without the flaunting of a nouveau riche.
A luxurious mansion, with many wings, all with golden plaques.
Appears to have a library, antique gallery, gym, stadium, and many other courtyards.
This is practically a small city, anything you want is inside, and everything is available.
Majestic, luxe, magnificent.
There’s also a faint fragrance. It’s probably near the perfu area, and the scent wafts out, bringing joy to one’s heart.
The Ford family is indeed the Ford family—the manor is built like a palace, and any visitor would surely fall in love with it.
The housekeeper arrived, a woman in her forties, everyone called her "Sister Farewell."
She ca to greet them, smiling kindly, her voice gentle, "The young master is back. It’s been a while since the young master returned."
"Sister Farewell."
Sister Farewell...
Tiana Thorne and May Sloane both paused, wondering why the na was like this?
Farewell...
It sounded quite sad.
Noticing them looking at her, she turned slightly, and her kind and friendly deanor instantly vanished, her gaze turning cold, "Who are these two?"
May found her intimidating, like a wicked old hag, yet monts earlier she was so warm while dealing with Maxim Ford.
Tiana was unafraid but wouldn’t smile at her either, just looking at her nonchalantly.
"This is my close friend, Tiana Thorne, Ms. Thorne," Maxim Ford introduced.
Then he added, "This is May Sloane, Ms. Thorne’s agent."
"Celebrity?" Sister Farewell looked at them cautiously.
"Don’t worry, Sister Farewell. Today, I’m bringing her to visit Mother. Where is she now?"
Sister Farewell had no further doubts, remaining aloof towards the two.
She smiled at Maxim Ford, "Madam is in the prayer room."
"Alright, I understand."
Sister Farewell then said, "Perhaps the second young master should take the guests to the drawing room while I invite Madam over."
Maxim Ford nodded graciously, "Alright."
After that, Sister Farewell left, and Maxim Ford took the two into the drawing room.
"Tiana, are you nervous?"
Tiana shook her head, "Why should I be nervous?"
Seeing her quite composed, Maxim Ford wasn’t worried.
Tiana lazily curved her lips; she wasn’t nervous at all. She had even started to like this mother.
After about ten minutes, she arrived.
