Diamond ignored Ruby, who was complaining and looked at her parents, who also seemed to be interested in her reason for coming downstairs.
"Mom and Dad, I have something I need to tell you!"
With a single statement, all attention was on her.
"What is it? Could it be you also want to return early?" Belinda asked hesitatingly as she looked at her daughter.
It wouldn’t be surprising if Diamond dropped such a bomb from nowhere.
"Hehe, Mom, how can you think like that?" Diamond was just baffled as she looked at her mother, wondering what her head was filled with.
Upon hearing that, Belinda heaved a sigh of relief and calmed herself to listen to whatever her daughter wanted to say.
Richard didn’t say anything while Ruby was afraid of being bullied by her sister with words. She didn’t want to suffer another defeat, so she just waited for Diamond to spill the beans.
"The bodyguards I told you about previously are finally here. They will be here in an hour or so."
Upon hearing that, Belinda jumped from the couch and looked at Diamond accusatorially.
Diamond narrowed her eyes as she looked at her mother. What did she do for her to look at her like that?
"Why didn’t you say it sooner?" Belinda complained as she placed her hands on her waist.
When Diamond heard that, she somehow relaxed, seeing that the issue wasn’t that serious.
"They just called me now. How was I supposed to know that they would be dropping so early?" Diamond grumbled.
It wasn’t like it was her fault. Who knew that these people would come earlier than when she was expecting?
"You .... Anyway, let go and check everything again at the cottage!" Belinda urged everyone as she walked away.
’It’s going to be a long day!’ Diamond lamented as she followed her mother.
On the other side, inside a certain Uber, three individuals, two men and one woman wearing black were busy typing on their phones, rendering the driver speechless.
’Why can’t you just talk in person rather than type? Do you have that much airtime and data to waste?’ he just couldn’t understand the life of the rich at all.
[I hope that we won’t regret it!]
[Ha, regret? The pay is good and besides; I don’t think that we will be facing a lot of danger.]
[Yeah. Let’s consider this a vacation.]
[But guys, aren’t you curious about our boss?]
[Even if we are, it’s not like we can find anything useful about her.]
[I wonder what more talents are besides her to hide everything useful about her like that.]
As they chatted, the three of them, just like the other three in the other Uber, were curious as well.
After sitting for goodness how long inside the cars, the drivers finally stopped at the roadside, making the six to pay more attention to their surroundings.
’We have been careless!’ they all thought about this as soon as they saw how relaxed they had been to the extent of reaching the final destination without seeing how they even got there.
