Chapter 125
“Everyone worked hard for Andie’s gallery, it’s just a little something, hope you all like it.”
When he was speaking, his gaze casually swept over Caspar’s tense profile, and the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened a bit.
This carefully prepared “feast” was not only a support for Andrea’s career, but also a subtle “declaration of sovereignty.”
As soon as the words fell, Andrea came out of the office, looking a bit tired in her eyes.
Quinn turned around and naturally put his arm around her waist.
“Is it time to get off work, Andie?”
Andrea awkwardly shrugged her shoulders.
“Anything is fine, what’s up?”
“Grandma said she wants to see you, so let me take you back to the Shillingford’s manor for a meal.”
Andrea’s eyelashes fluttered.
At the engagement party, the faces of the Shillingford family’s dignified yet loving elders flashed through my mind.
Although the elders were very kind to her, most of them were male elders at that time. She had never met many female elders and peers, so she couldn’t help feeling nervous.
“Do I really not need to prepare a gift?”

In the car, Andrea sat in the passenger seat, nervously biting her lower
lip.
“The first time I went to visit officially, I was afraid…”
“Don’t worry.”
Quinn spoke softly to comfort.
“You leaving is fine, bringing things just makes it awkward.”
The black Bentley parked outside the quaint mansion, Andrea got out of the car with Quinn, and the heavy red lacquer door slowly opened before them.
Walking through the drooping flower gate, what came into sight was a huge traditional courtyard.
The winding corridor, the secluded path, everywhere my eyes could see exuded tranquility and elegance. With each step I took, even someone like Andrea, who was used to the grandeur of the mansion, couldn’t help but be impressed, and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
No wonder it’s a century–old family…
The tension that was finally relieved is now building up again.
As Andrea passed through a carved moon gate, the green vines hanging from the eaves brushed against her shoulders.
The dress lady walking towards Andrea smiled respectfully.
“Mr. Quinn and Ms. Rehbein, Madam Shillingford were in Palm Hall.”
She led the way, occasionally turning her head to chat with Quinn.

“Mr. Quinn, Madam Shillingford has been mentioning you for days, not even in the mood to appreciate the new agarwood.”
Quinn lowered his gaze and chuckled.
“Sophie went to great lengths and had someone bring back top–quality incense from overseas, should be able to please grandma.”
The woman called Sophie Goodwin had a slight twinkle in her eye.
“Madam Shillingford would be delighted if you could come back.”
Andrea couldn’t get a word in, just listened quietly.
Quinn said he had a lot of brothers and sisters, plus Sophie just called him Mr. Quinn, so he must be the oldest in this generation.
Listening to their conversation, it’s clear that Kaylen Shillingford really likes this grandson.
I don’t think she would be in a difficult situation, right? After all, love me, love my dog.
I walked around the screen, and the sound of flute and pipes became clearer and clearer.
Glancing around, there were already about ten people sitting in Palm Hall. As they entered the hall, all eyes were immediately focused on Andrea.
The scrutinizing looks from all directions made her feel like she was a piece of art about to be auctioned off, on edge.
This feeling was really uncomfortable.
Andrea’s gaze fell on Alissa, who was wearing a pearl white dress and sitting at the stone table diagonally across from her. She spoke softly.
