When Fate Plays Its Hand (Miranda and Hansel) novel Chapter 456

Chapter 0456 

Jenny continued with a smile. “Doesn’t Lionel and Mindy live in a big villa? We could arrange for all the relatives from the countryside to stay at their place! 

“It has multiple floors, luxurious decor, and all the amenities like central heating and air ventilation available. No one would complain even if they had to sleep on the floor mats! There’s plenty of space to accommodate more people, let alone just a dozen of them. 

“Plus, their backdoor at Lakeview Villa is so close to the hotel where we’re having the banquet. There’s no need to arrange for transport since it’s just a stone’s throw away!” 

As Jenny spoke, she nodded vigorously, feeling increasingly convinced of her suggestion. She conveniently forgot that her own house was also in that neighborhood and was equally suitable. 

At this point, Lionel finally found the chance to speak. He had wanted to speak up several times, but either he couldn’t get a word in, or he was interrupted just as he was about to speak. 

“I was actually thinking the same thing,” he said. “Since it’s inconvenient for Leonard and Harold, Mindy and I have discussed it and decided that we can have the relatives stay with us.” 

After all, it was only for three days. 

Now that Anna had made her stance clear, Mindy had no choice but to agree–even if she felt reluctant- given Jenny’s devious tactics. 

It wasn’t that she looked down on the relatives from the countryside, but she had recently been working on her new book. Mindy had already discussed the outline with Warren, and she was still in the revision phase. 

She was used to working in a quiet environment, so having so many guests around would definitely be an inconvenience. Still, it wasn’t too unbearable. 

Mindy reassured them, “Mom, don’t worry. We’ll take good care of our guests.” 

As Mindy drove, she explained, “So, our relatives from the countryside are already staying at our place. Your dad is busy hosting them, so he couldn’t come along to pick you up. That’s why I came instead.” Miranda nodded. “Mom, I don’t usually see you driving, but you’re pretty good at it.” 

At this point, she still hadn’t realized how serious the situation was. Mindy raised her chin proudly. “Of course! I pick things up quickly!” 

At the Lakeview Villa. 

“Lionel, is this place yours? My goodness, it’s so grand! Penelope Grayson, the elderly woman speaking. had a face full of wrinkles and snow–white hair. She looked about the same age as Anna. However, Penelope was considered Lionel’s great–aunt in terms of seniority in the family, 

She continued, “Oh, is this a lamp? Why does it have a circle of feathers around it? Did you pluck them from a goose? I must say, it looks quite novel! Where’s the switch? Let me turn it on and have a look…

Huh? It’s just an ordinary lamp! I thought that it’s shine even brighter with the feathers!” 

Lionel had already started sweating. “No… the feathers are just for decoration. They don’t serve any real purpose… 

“Then why stick a circle of feathers on it if it’s not useful?” 

Lionel didn’t know what to reply..
