When the firecrackers sounded.
Knox Ridge was truly startled.
She was pondering how to explain the situation to Mr. Radcliffe when unexpectedly, salutes began firing right in front of her.
Before she could collect her thoughts, a team of waiters dressed in festive red robes hastily approached.
"What's going on?"
Burl Radcliffe also sensed something amiss and quickly ran over with Quella Radcliffe.
"I have no idea! The firecrackers started going off just as I arrived."
Knox Ridge was completely at a loss.
"Excuse me, are you here looking for…" The waiter pulled out a card from his pocket: "Barrett Ridge, Mr. Radcliffe's?"
"That's right!"
Knox Ridge became even more surprised.
How did they know all about this?
"How do you know?"
She couldn't help but ask out loud.
Could it be…
This was Mr. Radcliffe's way of welcoming them?
But what on earth was this all about?
