Chapter 172 Killing Two Birds With One Stone

The following day, a tense atmosphere hung over the sitting room at Sullivan Manor. Adrian and Gabriella, along with Dominic and Sheryl, sat upright on the couches, their postures formal and guarded. They had all rushed over early that morning because Nancy had summoned them. Gabriella exchanged a glance with Adrian. Both of them were trying to figure out what Nancy was really up to. Just yesterday, Nancy had been cold and unyielding, practically kicking them out of the manor. Today, she had called them over out of the blue. Had she finally come to her senses? Was this her way of backing down? From the staircase, a bare-faced Nancy appeared. She slowly made her way down in her simple, elegant dress. There was a rare softness in her expression, something they weren't used to seeing. She walked straight to the seat at the head of the table and sat down, her eyes sweeping across them. "Good morning, Uncle Adrian, Aunt Gabriella, Uncle Dominic, and Aunt Sheryl," Nancy greeted them.
