Nigel Perry drove Ranulf Perry to the estate, with Surane Duffy following behind.
This family of three, their appearance here boded nothing good. Could it be they were preparing for a quarrel even on New Year's Eve?
Claudia Ross welcomed them into the house with poise. When she noticed Nigel Perry intently staring at her, she slightly curled her lips in acknowledgement.
"Wyatt and Mom have gone out and will be back soon. Please, take a seat," Claudia Ross said with the air of the lady of the house, instructing the servants to serve tea and fruit.
Surane Duffy scornfully glared at Claudia Ross, "After eloping with some wild man for so many years, I can't believe you have the shamelessness to return. Hmph, it's truly a stain on the Perrys, bringing utter disgrace to our family. I really don't understand what Wyatt is thinking. Accepting you back is one thing, but to even acknowledge that bastard child, it's just foolish."
