Chapter 0454

At this moment, Miranda was already on the bullet train back to Lumberville.

Her grandmother, Anna, was celebrating her 80th birthday. The three brothers of the Sutton family decided to

throw a big party for her to celebrate. Naturally, the younger members of the family, including Miranda, were

required to return has well.

The date had been set long ago. Given that it was a three-day affair, she had to take leave since it wasn’t a

holiday.

Christine was still abroad attending an academic conference, and would be away for stime. Miranda didn’t

call her due to the tdifference. Instead, she sent in a request for leave via email in advance.

Fortunately, Christine was quite accommodating. Not only did she grant Miranda leave, but she also asked

Miranda to convey her well wishes to her grandmother.

The bullet train pulled into the station at 2:00 pm. Mindy drove the car to pick her up.

“Where's Dad?” Miranda felt a little puzzled when she saw no one else in the car after getting in.

Mindy had a driver's license, but she didn’t like to drive. Usually, it was Lionel who was in charge of errands like

this. Why was it different today?

Mindy had a helpless look on her face. “Your dad is busy.”

“It’s Sunday, and he doesn’t have class,” Miranda replied. What could he possibly be busy with?

At this point, Mindy couldn’t stop herself from sighing. Miranda grew even more curious.

“It’s a long story...

had started arriving two days.

With over ten people, arranging accommodations beca problem.

George and Anna were currently living in the villa with their eldest son, Leonard, but the villa wasn’t very big.

There were only two floors above ground and one basement, so there were only four ensuite bedrooms in total.

In addition, Leonard occasionally hosted friends in their home. What would they think if all his relatives from the

countryside cto stay with him?

Anna insisted, “You all just figure it out. Anyway, Leonard can’t accommodate them here!”

She was used to being the dominant person during the family meeting. After saying that, she swept her gaze

over to Harold and Lionel.

Since Leonard's place was out of the question, it was clear that Harold and Lionel would have to pick up the

burden.

Cynthia was the first to speak. “Mom, | can take in two guests.”

“Why are you even chiming in? Your small two-bedroom apartment is all decked out like a cozy nest. Who knows

what kind of mess will those relatives make if they put up at your place for even one night? You

Ever since her divorce, Cynthia had adopted the lifestyle of a refined, independent woman. She paid great

attention to detail in her life, from her daily wardrobe to her posts on social media. She had decorated her home

to be stylish and chic, perfect for creating social media-worthy photos.

To be honest, she wasn’t particularly eager to have a bunch of relatives she barely knew from the countryside

staying over at her place. However, since Anna had spoken, she had to be the first to and show her willingness

to help as a good daughter.

After all, she knew that Anna wouldn't actually let her suffer the inconvenience. Sure enough, Anna let her off

the hook with just a single sentence.

Now, the pressure was fully shifted on Lionel and Harold.

At this, Anna’s expression darkened slightly.

Jenny quickly changed her tone, “But of course, | told them it was impossible! | know full well that you're relying

on Leonard and Rena right now, so you couldn't afford to help out anything more.”

Hearing her explanation, Anna’s expression softened.
