Chapter 47 The Largest Courtyard In Quinston

Violeta finished preparing herself and descended the stairs.

"Dad, Mom, good morning."

Irene was making sandwiches, and when she saw Violeta coming down, she said softly, "Vio, come here. I made sandwiches for you."

Anton inquired. "Vio, did you sleep well last night?"

Violeta nodded and approached with a light step. "I slept very well."

Niall emerged from the kitchen, holding a glass of soy milk. "Vio, milk or soy milk?"

"Soy milk, thank you, Niall.

Niall handed her the glass and then returned to the kitchen.

Lately, Irene and Anton had heard some news about Violeta at Toland University.

Irene asked. "Vio, is it true that the true heiress of the Arlowand's Blake family is also studying at your school?"

Violeta hesitated for a moment and replied, "Mom, you know?"

Irene inquired, "Is she bullying you at school?"

Violeta responded, "No, it's just some minor teasing."

Anton said. "Vio, if you encounter any problems at school, don't hesitate to tell me or your father. You can event talk to Niall about it. Don't keep it to yourself, understand?" Violeta smiled, took a bite of her sandwich, and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm fine. She can't do anything to me."

Irene said, "If you say so, then I can rest assured."

Violeta wanted to resolve everything with Zelena from her previous life, but she didn't want Irene and Anton to interfere.

Furthermore, the four years-of college, though long but fleeting, would have been dull without Zelena's antics to entertain her.

Of course, Zelena had to continue thriving so that she could witness Violeta's gradual path to success and

brilliance.

Everything that Zelena took from her, Violeta would reclaim.

So if Zelena were to be driven away, who would Violeta have to showcase her success to?

They hadn't even finished breakfast when the butler watering the garden noticed Hayden outside.

"Master Frost!"

Hayden had arrived?

Violeta's hand, holding the soy milk, paused slightly. "Dad, Mom, Hayden is outside."

Irene said, "Mr. Will

"Yes."

please let Hayden in."

Hayden was welcomed in by the butler. Today, he was dressed casually in light gray, exuding a carefree and relaxed aura that was immediately noticeable.

After entering, he greeted Irene and Anton, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. White. I'm here to wait for Vio."

At that moment, Niall approached with the soy milk and smiled upon seeing Hayden. "Oh, hello, Hade."

"Hello, Niall."

Violeta quickly explained. "Dad, Mom, Niall, we promised to visit Hayden's house today. I couldn't replace the way, so he came to pick me up, along with Zoren and the others." Hayden was the only child in his family in this generation.

The relationship between the Frost family and the White family was also strong. Despite one being in business and the other in politics, they maintained a close personal bond. Anton and Hayden's father had been good friends for nearly twenty years.

"I understand. Hade, have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet."

"Then come and have some."

Irene gestured for the butler to bring Hayden a set of cutlery.

The butler quickly went to the kitchen and returned with new utensils. The breakfast table was plentiful, and accommodating one more person wouldn't be an issue.

Hayden didn't refuse and approached, sitting next to Niall, directly across from Violeta.

"Hayden, why are you here so early? Didn't we agree on nine o'clock? It's only eight now."

"I woke up early."

Hayden had taken the time to groom himself yesterday and had the house tidied up by the servants.

He hadn't slept all night and left before dawn. By the time the butler noticed Hayden's absence, he had already arrived.

But Violeta had no doubt about his words.

Niall said, "Hayden, it seems like you're getting along well with Violeta. That puts my mind at ease. Initially, we were concerned that she wouldn't adapt."

Irene smiled and said, "That's right, Violeta has a good personality, which is why we were worried about her being bullied at school! Hayden, as her senior, you should take good care of her." Hayden said, "Of course, Mrs. White."

Anton said, "Since Violeta is going over for a visit, she should bring some gifts."

Violeta answered, "Sure thing."

Hayden said, "Uncle, it's just a casual visit, so there's no need for gifts."

Anton argued. "That won't do. We must bring gifts. It's a matter of courtesy. Mr. Willow, wrap up the statue I brought back last time. Violeta can take it with her later."

Reciprocity being the norm, Hayden had no reason to refuse Anton's request.

He would return the favor when Violeta returned in the evening.

Half an hour later, they finished breakfast.

The servant wiped Tuna's paws clean and put them in a bag, which Violeta carried with her.

But because Tuna had been eating well recently, it had gained some weight. The servant also gave thern a leash so that Violeta could walk Tuna.

Violeta went out with Tuna and the gift to meet Hayden.

Hayden's car was parked under the shade of a tree outside the White family estate. He opened the door for Violeta to get in.

Violeta put Tuna inside and then sat in the car, holding the gift.

"Hayden, is your house far away?"

"Not far."

Indeed, it was not

far, as it was within the second ring of Quinston.

Hayden went around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat.

"By the way, have you seen the school forum? Zelena designed several sets of uniforms specifically for the tennis club competition and let everyone choose."

*I haven't seen it. Did you say Zelena made them?"

Violeta took out her phone. "Yes, Zelena. Hey, wait, don't tell me you don't even know her name is Zelena?"

Hayden actually hadn't paid attention to Zelena's name and hadn't remembered it at all.

"I don't have that much time to care about irrelevant people."

Upon hearing this, Violeta raised an eyebrow. This statement did seem to fit Hayden's character.

When Hayden drove to his family's mansion, Jasper, Zoren, and Liam were already there.

pter 47 The Largest Courtyard In Quinston

After getting out of the car, Violeta saw the huge plaque, the stone lions at the entrance, and the double redwood doors.

She was stunned, never expecting such a large Eastern-style mansion to be Hayden's home!

It was truly deserving of being Quinston's largest courtyard.

So big!

The entire area inside the surrounding walls is well-maintained!

She

exclaimed, "Does a prince live here?"

Zoren and the others walked over. Violeta, you're right. This house used to be the residence of a prince! This is where Duke Frost used to live."

Violeta was speechless.

Hayden's ancestors were indeed princes, true members of the royal family.

"But we don't have royalty around anymore. The interior has been renovated. Violeta, you'll see when we go inside. We've all seen good things since we were young, but every time we go to Hayden's house, we always have our breath taken away."
