Chapter 198 A chill of Disgust
Like the Trevino family’s old house, the Barton family’s old house was built by the older generation in the previous life. It had a long history, but because of its different regional cultures, the styles of the two old houses were somewhat different.
the Trevino family stood by the mountain, while a stream surrounded the Barton family’s house.
It was surrounded by fence walls of all kinds of flowers and plants. After getting inside, there were a lot of fruit trees. Judging from the trunks, they must be old.
When they went further in, they saw that the house was surrounded by a corridor bridge that was full of classical atmosphere, but there were all kinds of modern furniture and equipment inside.
In the past, Cierra had only seen the decoration of the house when she had video chats with Mrs. Chester. Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she only felt that those ancestors’ aesthetic tastes were really amazing.
But now was not the time to appreciate these things. The most important thing was to find her nephew.
After entering the old house, they didn’t stay idle. They went straight to find Will who were hiding.
As Cierra was unfamiliar with the route, she followed behind William.
But after a few steps, she found that William was not in the mood to look for Will at all.
In the end, Cierra stopped as well. “William, don’t tell me you want to leave? You promised to stay with me in Los Angeles for a few more days. You can’t go back on your word.”
When Cierra was chatting with Mrs. Chester, she felt that William did not look well. She was worried that he would think too much about it, which would worsen the gap between him and other
families.
William glanced at her and gave Cierra a flick. “What are you thinking about? Don’t you want to look your nephew, do you?”
Cierra rubbed her forehead knocked by William. “It’s obvious that you didn’t look for him carefully, and I don’t know the way. What if I get lost?”
It had to be said that the Barton family was really wealthy. Just the place where the fruit trees were
planted and the grape trellis were built, was three times bigger than the Boyle family’s villa, not to
mention the old house behind it.
If Cierra walked inside alone, she might really get lost.
Therefore, it was reasonable for Mrs. Taylor to worry about Will getting lost at home. It was such a
big piece of land, and she didn’t know where the child was hiding.
Seeing that William not moving, Cierra couldn’t help but push him, “William, did you do the same thing when you were a child? Are you thinking about where you were hiding at that time?”
As soon as Cierra finished speaking, William looked at her with an inexplicable expression.
Cierra was dumbfounded. “I really got you right?”
William pursed his lips and did not refute her words.
Although there were surveillance cameras outside the Barton family’s old mansion, it was easy for Will to hide himself somewhere, since it was close to the mountains and rivers, and there were a lot of trees and flowers planted in the yard.
William hadn’t been back for a few years, and these trees were a little different from what he remembered. If he was asked to find Will, he might get lost with his Cierra.
Thinking of this, he grabbed Cierra’s hand and pulled her back.
Cierra was confused.
She asked in surprise, “William, where are wegoing?”
“Looking for Will.”
With a casual tone, William took her to the main room.
Cierra wasn’t familiar with this place, so she could only follow William to go.
Before she could take a few steps, she heard a burst of crying, which made her heart tremble. She
almost subconsciously thought of Aleah.
She looked up and saw a well-dressed woman following behind Mrs. Taylor.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Taylor. I really don’t know where Will went. I just looked down at my phone and didn’t keep my eyes on him. When I looked up, he has gone somewhere. It’s all my fault. Don’t drive
me away.”
Mrs. Taylor was speechless, “It’s Madam who asked you to leave. It’s the first time that Cierra has come back today. We are very busy today. I’m very grateful that you came to take care of Will, but
you…
After all, Cherry was a guest, so Mrs. Taylor couldn’t say anything more and led her to the door.
“Please go back first. I’ll tell you if we find Will, but Madam is so angry today. In order not to annoy her, you’d better leave first today. Otherwise, you won’t have a chance to come again in the future.”
The woman looked aggrieved. Just as she was about to follow Mrs. Taylor, she glanced over from the corner of her eyes and suddenly widened her eyes.
Cierra, who met her gaze, was also a little stunned. She didn’t expect to bump into an old
acquaintance here, who she had known in New York.
Cherry, who always followed Aleah as a bestie, was her half-sister.
Rich and powerful families had a lot of grievances. Even a declining family like the Riley family had a lot of trouble.
It was said that the Riley family was originally united by marriage with a family with a powerful background. Later, Mr. Riley divorced because of his love affair. The ex-wife took her daughter directly back to her parents’ home, and Mr. Riley married another lady from a small family and had a new daughter.
As for the mistress who broke up the other’s family, she was sent away by money. In short, there was no trace of the woman in New York.
Cierra had seen Ms. Riley when she was young, who had probably relied on her mother’s arrogance and had a good time at school.
However, Cherry was a few years older than Cierra. Although she had heard of Cherry’s prestige, she had not been bullied by her.
At this moment, they met again here at Cierra’s home. Cherry’s mature face overlapped with the arrogant and domineering young lady in Cierra’s memories. It was inevitable that some subtle feelings would arise in her heart.
“Ms. Riley’s mysterious background… Could it be related to the Barton family?” thought Cierra.
Cierra didn’t think too much about it. Se silently retracted her gaze, intending to leave first with
William.
In fact, they didn’t know each other well. After all, they had met once.
“Stop right there!”
Just as Cierra was about to leave, Cherry stopped her.
Cierra wasn’t the only one who felt displeased when she heard this.
Even Ms. Taylor and William beside her frowned. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
However, Cherry couldn’t see anyone’s expression. She went straight to Cierra and looked her up and down with teary eyes.
“You’re the ex-wife of Mr. Trevino, whose new bride was a celebrity and just caused a scene at the wedding in New York. You’re her younger sister, right? What’s your name?”
Cierra lowered her
gaze.
She didn’t expect that she would still be attached to Draven even though she had divorced him.
However, there was nothing she could do about it. Although this relationship had ended, it could not be erased. And it was inevitable that she would be implicated with Draven more or less.
Cierra’s expression was calm as she nodded politely at Cherry.
“Cierra.”
“I know you. I’ve seen your photos on the Internet. You look prettier in person.”
Cherry didn’t hold back her praise. She glanced at William beside Cierra and smiled.
“You have a good taste. You don’t get along with Aleah, do you? I like you very much!”
Cierra was speechless.
“Does her misunderstand I’m William’s girlfriend?” thought Cierra.
Instead of explaining, she smiled and replied, “Thank you. You’re also very beautiful.”
Cherry snorted and did not look at Cierra. Instead, she turned to look at William next to Cierra and
said in a sweet voice,
“William, wow, you’ve brought your girlfriend back. Can you take me to go inside with you? I didn’t mean to fail to keep an eye on Will. I’ll apologize to Auntie and Jaquan later, okay? Please…”
Cierra felt a chill running down her spine and quietly took a step back.
