The following morning, Ariana meticulously planned her work schedule and left Melon in Sonia’s care.
As she prepared to visit the Fredrick estate, the thought of encountering Sadie and potentially stirring
up conflict crossed her mind. Though tempted to don a disguise, she wanted to remain inconspicuous.
Choosing a more subtle approach, she opted for a hat and face mask, providing just enough
anonymity.
Wearing the snug mask and hat was slightly suffocating, but Ariana took a deep breath, hoping she’d
evade any unplanned run-ins with Sadie, who was known for her dramatics. Making final adjustments
to her outfit, Ariana set off.
She took solace in the fact that she’d used an alias with the agency.
An unexpected revelation of her presence would surely agitate Sadie.
Navigating by the provided directions, Ariana made her way to the renowned mansion district of Half-
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthill Villa, a locale synonymous with opulence.
At the district’s entrance, she showed her credentials and journeyed through a lush, expansive park
before the grand estates came into view. Strategically placed, the villas began at the perimeter and
became increasingly grandiose as one moved inward, elevated by the ascending hillside.
Ariana had heard tales of Half-hill Villa. The outer-ring villas were within reach for the reasonably
affluent. However, venturing inward, the prices skyrocketed, and land was measured not in acres but
inches.
Beyond financial prowess, ownership within Half-hill Villa demanded an illustrious Lineage.
Surveying the lavish homes, even the well-traveled Ariana was momentarily taken aback. The area
emanated an undeniable air of prestige, making even the outskirts seem almost suffocating. It was a
challenging environment for nurturing young minds.
Presumably, the esteemed Fredrick family didn’t dwell on the periphery.
Guided by a sleek, black lead car, Ariana ventured further into the enclave. After a prolonged drive that
extended beyond her expectations, she grew restless. How much further could it be?
As the lead vehicle finally came to a halt, Ariana’s gaze shifted forward, and she was left momentarily
breathless.
She was aware of the Fredrick family’s affluence, but the reality surpassed her wildest imaginations.
An imposing iron gate stood before her, and through its grandeur, Ariana glimpsed the majestic manor.
It wasn’t merely a villa; it was an expansive estate resembling a castle. Positioned at the zenith of Half-
hill Villa, it offered a commanding view of the entire neighborhood and the cityscape of Eleymond.
Still processing the spectacle, Ariana handed her invitation to the gatekeeper. In response, several
vehicles approached to escort her up the extensive driveway. After a ten-minute journey, she reached
the entrance of the magnificent abode.
As she parked, a distinguished man in his fifties approached her.

“Hello,” Ariana replied, offering her hand and presenting her credentials alongside the invitation.
After a brief inspection, Devin beckoned her inside and promptly offered tea and refreshments.
“Mr. Fredrick is currently on a conference call upstairs. He will join us momentarily. In the meantime,
please make yourself comfortable.”
Ariana nodded, a rush of anticipation filling her. She had heard of Holden Fredrick, and with Melon’s
insistence that he bore a resemblance to Theodore, her curiosity was piqued.
Observing Ariana’s continued concealment, Devin remarked, “You’re quite safe here. If you’d like, you
can remove your hat and mask.”
While she understood that retaining her disguise indoors might appear uncouth, Ariana hesitated,
fearing an unwelcome reaction from Sadie.
The last thing she wanted was for any adult disagreements to compromise the child’s therapy session.
