A car approached the Vale mansion. The gates opened automatically before the vehicle could even reach them. When the car finally moved through the long driveway and stopped beneath the covered entrance, the door opened and Relanie stepped out.
She was dressed in a soft long gown with a scarf wrapped around her neck.
She looked around the sprawling gardens and buildings, an unreadable look flashing through her eyes. Then she took a deep breath and walked toward the entrance of the main building.
Her footsteps slowly came to a stop when she reached the doorway. She didn't open the door immediately. She simply stood there quietly as faint voices drifted into her hearing through the door.
"I repeat. Your son has finally lost his mind."
It was Mr Vale's voice. And judging from the tone, it sounded like he was having one of his usual arguments with his wife again.
