At ten o'clock the next morning, the Cobb family set off for the Hortons'. By about eleven, they arrived at the Horton residence.

The security guard had already been informed, so when they arrived, their car was allowed to drive straight in, heading for the parking lot.

Lewis and the others were already waiting for them by the lot.

Ryan Cobb and Ellie Cobb looked around, taking in the surroundings.

This estate was one Lewis had bought when he came to Clance, and though it had only been half a year, it was already well-maintained.

There were elegant pavilions, and the garden was picturesque, making the place feel as though it had a deep history.

Gavin couldn't help but comment, "The greenery here is really well done. Looks like they've had professionals take care of it."

Hearing this, Selena suddenly felt a bit of pride swell inside her. She smiled and said, "Yes, my dad loved this kind of thing. The person who tends the plants has been working with him for years. He's very particular about it."

Gavin was surprised. "You had someone specifically to take care of the plants?"

Though the Cobb family was wealthy, they kept a low profile. Their household staff was minimal, and they certainly didn't hire someone for a single task. Even their plants were tended by a service that came by periodically.

Ryan was well aware of how other wealthy families operated, but Gavin had less exposure, so he found it a bit shocking.
