Claire Sinclair left without waiting for her husband to return.
Before she left, she sent him a text saying she was going to see Third Miss Tanner.
A ten-minute drive later, Claire Sinclair arrived outside a lavish, sprawling, golden villa, staring in astonishment at the glittering, palace-style mansion before her.
'This is insane!!!'
The estate was so vast you couldn't see where it ended. It was surrounded by a golf course on one side and a massive outdoor swimming pool on the other.
'Even if this is The Cold Palace, it's way too big!'
As Claire Sinclair took it all in, she felt that Ivy Tanner was both pitiful and lucky.
Many women would kill to live in a mansion this big, so in a material sense, Ivy Tanner was lucky. Her misfortune was that she had to live in this huge house all by herself, and possibly for the rest of her life.
With a sigh, Claire Sinclair walked to the front gate and rang the doorbell.
