The weather was unbearably hot; every second under the scorching sun felt like torture.
Yet Xueli remained silent, her mood was sullen, and even Ruby, who least could endure hardships, dared not speak up and obediently followed, occasionally glancing back at George and the others.
When they walked out of the resort, a car was already waiting at the entrance.
It was all arranged by George over the phone just now.
Getting into the air-conditioned car, the cool breeze blew, and everyone felt extremely relieved.
During the entire trip, no one spoke much; the atmosphere was oppressive.
They finally arrived at the Underground Palace, and George tidied up a suite: "Mommy, you and Heather can stay here, and I'll stay with Ruby tonight. Is that okay?"
It was clear that Xueli didn't plan to stay with Shi Ying, at least not tonight.
Xueli nodded and then said: "I... have something to tell you all."
Ten minutes later.
