Chapter 70 A Visit To The Mccloud Mansion

• Alex pulled up to the entrance of the McCloud mansion, his car rolling to a stop on the wide, cobblestone driveway. The first thing that struck him was the sheer size of the place—it was enormous, even more impressive in person than it had been in the photos Sofie had shown him.
• The mansion was a stunning blend of classic and modern architecture, with towering columns that framed the grand entrance, vast windows that gleamed in the afternoon sun, and meticulous landscaping that surrounded the property with lush greenery. It was the kind of house that exuded a sense of history and tradition, yet was clearly well-maintained, a testament to the generations of McClouds who had lived there.
• As Alex stepped out of the car, he couldn’t help but take a moment to appreciate the view. The mansion stood proudly atop a small hill, offering a sweeping vista of the surrounding countryside. Rolling hills dotted with trees stretched out as far as the eye could see, the landscape bathed in the golden light of a late summer afternoon.
