After breakfast, Elliana picked up her bag and headed out the door. Adah and the Four Guardians followed close behind.

Waiting in the driveway was a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Not just any Phantom—a rare, limited-edition model. Only two existed in the world. Cole owned one. And now, so did she.

Since Elliana was going to act the part of a tycoon’s daughter, she needed to look the part. The days of pretending to be poor were behind her. From now on, she’d move in style.

Adah, always quick to play along, rushed forward and opened the car door with a slight bow. “Miss Briggs, if you please.”

Elliana slid into the seat gracefully, adjusting her tinted sunglasses like a pampered heiress.

Adah joined her and closed the door with a soft thud.

In the back, Clifton and Kieran took their positions as bodyguards. Up front, Damian settled into the driver’s seat, ready to play chauffeur. Heather sat beside him, the perfect picture of a professional maid.

It was a mirror image of Cole’s usual setup. A driver and an aide in the front, two guards behind, and a trusted attendant at her side.

Once everyone was in place, Adah snapped her fingers. “Alright, team! Let’s get Miss Briggs to school!”

Damian gave a playful whistle. “Hold on tight, Miss Briggs!” The Phantom surged forward like a bullet from a gun.

The sudden acceleration was thrilling.

“Ha-ha!” Laughter broke out in the car, with Adah and the Four Guardians full of energy and excitement.

Elliana’s lips twitched. “Do you mind toning it down a little? You’re supposed to be escorting a tycoon’s daughter to school, not staging a high-speed extraction. Act like professionals, not a band of bodyguards fresh off a movie set.” Her words cut through the laughter like a blade. The car went quiet. The group straightened at once, transforming into a picture of elegance and restraint. The Phantom slowed to a smooth, stately pace. Read full story at FιndＮovel.net

Elliana let out a long sigh. The silence was better—but only just. Now, the air felt stiff and awkward. Adah and the others sat like statues, their movements stiff and unnatural, like they were trapped in invisible corsets.

The peace didn’t last. One unexpected pothole sent a jolt through the car. And just like that, the calm cracked. “Ha-ha!” Laughter filled the air again.

When Elliana saw her team laughing so freely, she could only rub her forehead in exasperation. They had grown used to acting without restraint and solving problems by force. Expecting them to act differently was no easy task. Yet, regardless of how difficult it was, they had to look the part. If they did not, nobody would believe she came from a loaded and prestigious clan abroad. People would probably see her as the daughter of some upstart family.

With that in mind, Elliana knocked on the car window and said, “Alright, that’s enough. Quiet down, all of you.”

Adah and the Four Guardians tried to suppress their laughter again, though it was obvious they still wanted to let loose. Each one struggled to stifle a fresh round of giggles.

Elliana relented just a little. “I get that it’s tough to bottle up that free-spirited energy, so I won’t be too harsh. Here’s the arrangement. If there aren’t any outsiders around, do as you please. But once we have company, you have to keep it together.”
