章節 89: Her Move.

The day before.

.

Emily parked her old Ford in front of the big house, where she had been only once before.

She looked at her watch - the time was getting closer to the noon. Granny's lawyer, although he was very surprised by the unexpected visit of the girl, and was even more surprised by her request, worked like a real professional.

Emily slammed the car door shut and clutched her bag to her chest as if it contained a secret message that would change the course of the war. By and large, this was not far from the truth.

She walked with a confident step to the front door, where the mistress of the house was already waiting for her.

"Hello dear!" Teresa Evans greeted the girl with a smile and hugged her, "You made me so happy when you said you wanted to come! I thought after that dinner I'd have to persuade you to visit us. My dad, he is like that, he always loves to lead people by a dance." The woman recalled the family dinner a week earlier.
