Chapter 282 Signing the Contract

• The initial piece presented revealed an aged photograph portraying the front façade of the mansion, once the abode of Meredith alongside her adoptive parents, nestled within the vast expanse of Stormborn Manor. Within the frame, a lineup of men clad in somber black uniforms and shades populated the yard, a few figures entering the grand abode, all marked by the embroidered Star Realm dragon insignia gracing their uniform sleeves.
• "Here's a picture I took with my phone from when those from Star Realm rummaged through your mansion," Donald interjected, tapping the picture, employing it as tangible evidence bolstering his earlier assertions. Meredith scrutinized the photograph, a whisper of skepticism weaving through her thoughts. Yet, she maintained her poise, her countenance an icy mask.

Though Donald refrained from commenting on this particular snapshot, Meredith discerned the implicit undertones threaded within.
