Chapter 428: New Year’s Eve (2)

When Rose and Evan arrived in the living room, most of the family was in the room, chatting happily. Divided into two groups, men on the sofa near the fireplace and women in chairs near the television. Rose joined the women and sat down next to her mother.

She was in a good mood because Oliver had sent her a text message a few minutes ago to let her know he was on his way here with James and Danny. They’d probably arrive in five minutes.

"Mom, I invited my friends Oliver and the others to join us. Can you prepare dinner for them, too?" whispered Rose.

Molly was surprised. Her daughter invited her office friends, "Sure. How many?"

"Three. You know Danny and James. They’re my college friends. They are now the directors at the Wilson group...." When she saw her mother nod, she continued, "So they’ll be coming with Oliver."

"You did a good job inviting them to come. They must not have time to return to East City, right?"

"Yes, mom. They’ve been working hard since joining my company, and Wilson Group has made great progress this year. So, I was thinking of treating them when they are around. Tonight, they will come here straight from the office. I feel bad for them because I never had the chance to help them with their work when I was injured. I am grateful they continue to do their best when I’m not around. They helped me greatly to take my mind away from work and help expedite my recovery. So... yeah, I invited them to come..."

Rose smiled at her mother before continuing, "I hope you don’t mind me inviting them."

If it weren’t for Oliver and the others, the Wilson Group wouldn’t have grown so fast. Next year, they have made many plans to further the company’s development.

And if Evan announces their marriage, she doesn’t need to feel inferior to him anymore because her company can be considered a new company with huge potential.

She has something to be proud of for standing side by side with Evan Collins.

She deserves to be Evan Collins’ wife not because of her last name ’Spencer’ but because she is also a businesswoman and the founder of the Wilson Group.

While Rose and Molly were chatting, a few miles from Nicholas Spencer’s house, a black Mercedes SL Class pulled up at the checkpoint.

Oliver, who was driving the black Mercedes, smiled politely at the guard beside his car before he said, "Hello, I’m Oliver Hester, guest of Miss Rose Spencer..."

This is Oliver’s first visit to Rose’s father’s residence, and he is stunned to see the guard carrying a gun. It wasn’t just one guard that he saw, but more than four guards within the guardhouse.

This place is heavily guarded. Before arriving at this checkpoint, they had passed the guard post twice a few miles back before entering the North Hills area, known as the Spencer family’s residence. In this private area, only certain people could enter. Visitors who do not have a permit cannot enter this place.

"Mr. Hester, you may proceed. About a mile from here, you will see a three-story white house. You can park your car in the parking area. Someone will pick you up at the main gate." The tall guard said politely.

"Thank you, sir..." Oliver smiled. As the car pulled away, he heard James and Danny making a loud scene — before, the two guys had been silent when they arrived at the checkpoint.

James, who was sitting beside Oliver, shouted, "Shit! I did not expect to set foot in the North Hills." He was amazed to be able to enter this restricted area. He had heard this place was a beautiful private estate owned by the Spencer Family. They are the owner of the entire Northern Hills District—the forest area in the city.

Danny, in the back seat, chuckled, "Indeed. I want to see this area during the day. It will be stunning. Damn it!! Look to the right... the city looks amazing from up here." He saw the lights coming out of the tall buildings in the middle of the city that looked amazing from where they were.

Oliver glanced to his right, and he also agreed with Danny. The view is stunning. Unfortunately, this place is not a public place. Only residents have the privilege of enjoying the city view.

"Oliver, please focus on driving!" said James.

"Relax! The streets are empty. What are you afraid of?" He smirked.

"Man, I’m just saying!" James laughed but deep in his heart, he was afraid that a wild beast would appear in the middle of the road. "This road is empty. It’s a bit creepy. Since we entered North Hill street, not a single vehicle has passed...."

"Yes! This is a private place. I think they are all at their house for dinner, right? After all, it’s New Year’s Eve...." Oliver said, focusing on seeing the empty road ahead.

Danny suddenly thought of something, "Oliver, are you sure Rose invited us? It’s a family dinner, and it feels weird for us to suddenly show up at the Spencer family dinner." This afternoon he was surprised when Oliver told him that Rose had invited them to join New Year’s Eve dinner at her parents’ place.

"Danny, I don’t think so. Rose invited us to her parent’s house instead of Spencer’s main house. I’m sure Old Spencer and the others will not join them, right Oliver?" James said.

Oliver had no idea if the entire Spencer family, including Keira’s, would be at Rose’s house tonight. But, hearing James’ words, he felt nervous. Will he meet Keira?

"I don’t know either..." Oliver said calmly, but his heart rate increased.

"Man, we’ll see later..." Danny said excitedly. "I think it would be even more awesome if we could have dinner with the whole Spencer family."

Oliver listens in silence when James and Danny talk. His mind was busy imagining what he would do if he met Keira tonight.

He felt increasingly uneasy seeing Rose’s parents’ house getting closer. He’s imagining Keira’s request to break up with him a few days ago instantly made his chest feel heavy.

Now a big question arose in his mind; did he make the right choice in coming here?
