The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret

Chapter 282 Entering the Gomez Mansion

"There's a New Year's Eve event soon. Let's all go together. We'll head to the beach to set off fireworks later. I'll make sure to light up a big golden flower for you to see," Peyton said.

Frey smiled faintly. She felt incredibly fortunate to have met someone as warm-hearted as Peyton.

Despite her difficult circumstances, Peyton had managed to thrive and share her kindness with others. Frey felt lucky to have such a person in her life.

With a smile, Frey replied, "Peyton, I have something else to do today, so I won't be able to join you. Let's plan to get together another time.”

Peyton, understanding and considerate, said softly, "Don't be sad, Frey. There's no obstacle in this world that you can't overcome. You'll get through it, just keep pushing forward."

Frey was driven by a desire to resolve the lingering grievances between the Gomez and Morgan families, which had been consuming her.

The streets were bustling with people celebrating New Year's Eve. To manage the crowds, the city government restricted traffic flow on several streets.

Frey intended to travel from her apartment to the Gomez Mansion near Newport Villa, passing through the city center and several fireworks spots along the way.

Given the traffic restrictions, self-driving cars were not an option, and only designated taxis were allowed on one-way lanes.

She took a taxi and got off at a spot not far from the Gomez Mansion.

Stepping out of the car, Frey pulled her thin cotton-padded jacket tighter around herself, feeling the chill of the night.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

She glanced over at Newport Villa, noticing that only the first-floor lights were on. The upper floors remained dark, with only a few wall lamps illuminating the stairwell.

Nathaniel, busy with his upcoming

marriage with Abigail, was not at the villa. Recent gossip revealed that the wedding of the century between the

Morgan and Hill families was

e

scheduled for January 8th onan

artificial island.

The behind-the-scenes footage had already been leaked, showcasing a spectacular and glamorous event.

On New Year's Eve, Nathaniel was likely preoccupied with Abigail.

Frey approached the Gomez Mansion's house and rang the doorbell, but there was no response.

It was unusually dark, both inside and outside the residence, and there was no sign of activity.

Realizing that Nathaniel's departure might have led to the neglect of the Gomez Mansion, Frey remembered that the house had been abandoned three years before.

The electronic door was locked, but the push-pull design allowed her to navigate through. She climbed over the metal bars and dropped down on the other side, feeling a sense of disorientation.

Once inside, Frey moved carefully through the entrance hall. The living room door was locked, but she remembered that the bathroom window on the basement floor was usually left slightly open to ventilate the space.

Following the granite steps down to the small garden outside the first floor, Frey was relieved to find the bathroom window slightly ajar. She quickly opened the window and slipped inside.

Her father had loved tea, and the ground floor had a large tea room, a gym, a swimming pool, and a home theater.

As she wandered through these spaces, her phone's flashlight illuminated the darkness, creating an eerie and surreal atmosphere.

Frey eventually found the storage

room for miscellaneous items. The door was locked, and her father had specifically instructed the

housekeeping staff not to clean this area. It was usually kept tidy by Kiflian himself.
