Chapter 854
Howard still could not shake off his worries and continued to advise, “If anything happens, just shout
for help. The people I’ve arranged to watch over the Nicholls residence will rush in to find you, and I’ll come over immediately.”
“Okay.”
As they chatted, the car quickly arrived at the Nicholls residence.
Romello had deliberately cleared his schedule and was already waiting at the entrance.
When they met, they managed to maintain a facade of pleasantry.
Howard and Romello almost simultaneously smiled at each other and nodded politely.
Romello escorted Phoebe inside.
Walking through the garden, Romello spoke in a serious tone, “Take some time to familiarize yourself. If everything goes well, I’ll arrange your return banquet soon and publicly announce your identity as one of the Nicholls family’s heiresses.”
“Okay,” Phoebe murmured, walking alongside him.
Romello continued, “There’s a business gala in a couple of days. I’ll take you along and introduce you to some influential business figures.”
Phoebe was puzzled. “I’m a celebrity, and I won’t be working with the Nicholls Group in the future. Why do I need to meet your business associates?”
Romello simply replied, “It’s always good to meet new people.
Π
Before she could question further, Romello changed the subject.
“Since you’re back, you’ll stay in the room I arranged for you last time. It’s cleaned regularly, so don’t worry. However, please don’t engage in any risky behavior like climbing out windows and scaling walls, like last time.”
Bringing up that incident, Romello’s expression turned cold, and he added, “I didn’t punish you last. time, but if you pull a stunt like that again, I won’t be so lenient. Not even Howard’s pleas will save you. Understand?”
Phoebe nodded meekly. “Understood.”
“Good. Unpack and rest. We’ll have lunch in the dining room later,” he said, hands in his military pants pockets, his expression unchanged.
Phoebe picked up her luggage and began to walk away.
After a couple of steps, she turned back and asked, “I haven’t seen Mom all this time. When can I see
her?”

Romello smiled. “You’ll meet her at lunch today.”
“Really?”
Howard had described Vanda as elegant and graceful, with an exquisite demeanor. Hence, Phoebe was genuinely curious.
Her excitement surged, and she briskly made her way into the mansion.
Romello stood on the gravel path leading into the garden, watching her slender figure disappear into the house, his expression dark and unreadable.
Farlem.
The rain was pouring heavily at night, and Noah endured hours of drenching before finding a barely adequate shelter to huddle in for another couple of hours of cold.
It was not until dawn that he managed to find someone to ask for directions to the Moore mansion.
Passersby were astonished to see him soaked through. Even so, his handsome features remained unaffected, exuding an alluring charm even in his drenched state.
Throughout his journey, Noah was like a celebrity, turning heads wherever he went.
In truth, he was extremely annoyed.
He had never imagined that his trip to Farlem would turn out to be such a disastrous experience. Frustrated, he finally arrived at the gates of the Moore mansion half an hour later.
The bodyguards were taken aback when they saw him.
“Sir, who are you?”
Noah raised his cold gaze and answered, “Noah Lawson from Svelton’s Lawson family. I need to see
Mr. Moore.”
“Mr. Noah?”
The bodyguards took a few more glances at him, struck by his disheveled yet dignified demeanor, and hurried to inform Kennedy.
Inside the mansion, the Moore family was having dinner.
Kennedy and Vanessa set down their utensils and went to greet Noah personally when they heard of his unexpected visit.
Meanwhile, Hannah, thinking it might be a scammer, paid no attention.
She had been pursuing Noah for over a year, but his heart was as cold as a stone, and she was tired of chasing after him.
