"Get in," Gilbert said, tossing the file bag into the back seat.
Claire shot him a glare, her lips forming a small pout before she bent down and climbed into the car.
They were headed to the Taylor family estate.
Located in the heart of the city, the Taylor estate was a sprawling symbol of old money and prestige. The golden main building shimmered under the lights, flanked by a series of lavish annexes. With manicured gardens, elegant villas, and extravagant entertainment halls, it was one of the most exclusive residences in Heidelberg.
As Gilbert's Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled through the gates, Claire spotted Mike Taylor waiting by the entrance. He was clearly looking for her, eyes scanning eagerly until they landed on her stepping out of the car.
"Claire, my goddess," Mike called out, beaming. "You look absolutely stunning tonight. Truly, you're the only woman in the world for me."
