Chapter 547: Heating System


    "Grandma, why do we have to stay here while waiting? Can''t we go inside that mansion?" risse Sena grumbled. "These people are not that nice." She crossed her arms across her chest. "If she is not here for another hour then I will post a live video andin to my fans. I am sure they would curse her for treating me like this."


    ''risse, you are still acting like a child, despite already being a graduating student in college." The old woman who was wearing a red dress said. She gave her granddaughter a displeased gaze. "You should be careful with your words and actions. Don''t be so haughty in front of Gabrielle. I heard that she is very clever. I don''t want her to know that something is up."


    "Still, how could she act like this? We are her rtives. The least that she could do is allow us inside that mansion. Instead, she asked her servants to bring us to the back of that house. Isn''t this an insult? Just because we aren''t as wealthy as her doesn''t mean that we deserve this treatment."


    "Calm down. Just calm down or your cousin Alfons would get angry with you."


    "Hmph. If I had known that cousin Alfons was actually this rich, I would have immediately followed him here when he discovered us years ago. I just thought he was just some simple person who lived in the capital."


    Her grandmother didn''t say anything. Instead, the old woman started drinking her tea and just continue listening to her granddaughterin.


    Unbeknownst to them, Gabi was looking at them from the second floor of the mansion.


    "Young Miss, I didn''t know that your father had an aunt. She is not using thest name, Sutton. She imed that she was kicked out of the Sutton Family years before your father was born. From the information that she told me, her name is Mary Lan. She is seventy-two years old. She lives near the port of Oburn City. If you don''t know where Oburn City is, it is located in the southernmost part of this country. Her granddaughter is called risse Sena. Her parents are still alive. They have a small business near the port. And"


    "And what?"


    "Well she is currently working. Her job is called an ''influencer''. I honestly, never heard of this job before."


    "" Oh? Influencer. Interesting.


    "She is using the tform, SocialTak, and has three million followers from all over the world. Apparently, this is not really considered big but she earned a decent amount from sponsorships and views of her videos."


    "Ah." SocialTak is one of thepanies that will be big in the future. In fact, she already invested in thepany is already one of its big shareholders. People in SocialTak dance and sings and do random things because of this, many teenagers love this app.


    "I already asked our people to investigate the matter," Kasper said. He along with Spencer was standing behind Gabi, looking at the granddaughter and grandmother pair.


    Gabi nodded in response. She couldn''t help but think that Alfons already knew about this two even before they came here. But why hide it? "Let them wait for a few more minutes. And investigate everything about them. Including their bank ounts. Try to find any connection between Alfons and them."


    "Understood," Kasper said.


    "Spencer, give them more food and tell them I will arrive in a few minutes."


    "Understood."


    Gabi continued looking at the two. From where she was, it was clear that risse was already in a bad mood. She was frowning while talking to her grandmother. Meanwhile, the grandmother was calmly talking to her, as if she was trying to calm her down.


    After a few minutes, Spencer arrived with two maids and he served them a few more snacks and beverages. Just as Gabi expected, risse immediately changed her expression. The girl batted her eyelid and respectfully bowed Spencer when he left. With her tall and thin frame, risse looked graceful and gentle.


    It''s a pity. The expression on the woman''s face immediately switched to anger the moment Spencer left. Just from this small interaction, Gabi already knew that there is something wrong with these two people.


    Right now, she couldn''t help but overthink things. Why would a new rtive appear just when she and Alfons were fighting? The timing is already off!


    This could be one of Alfons'' schemes.


    But howe these people didn''t appear in her past life? Was it because Alfons could control her back then? Was it possible that Alfons asked this woman to get close to her, in this lifetime in an attempt to control her again? Ah, she was overthinking things again.


    But she honestly, couldn''t help it.


    "Miss, the old woman seemed calm but Miss risse is clearly irritated. Though, she tried to control it. It was still pretty obvious."


    "I understand," Gabi answered. "Anyway, let me change my clothes. I wille down in a few minutes." She went to her room and chose a long white dress that it made by thin fabrics. Then she left her room and walked towards the garden.


    When the two women saw her, they immediately smiled. She smiled in response.


    "I am Gabi Sutton. I would like to apologize for beingte. I have some important business that was already scheduled for today."


    "It''s not a problem. It is our fault for not calling ahead of time." The old woman struggled to stand.


    "Grandmother, please don''t force yourself. I am sure that Miss Gabi wouldn''t mind it." risse had a kind smile on her face. "My name is risse Sena and this is my grandmother Mary Lan. Nice to meet you, Miss Sutton."


    "Nice to meet you too. Let''s stop acting too formal. Please take your seat. Do you need anything? Perhaps more snacks and beverages?"


    "Ah? No it''s alright. The snacks are really delicious. However it is already falling. It''s really cold and I don''t know why Mr. Butler didn''t invite grandmother inside when she is already this old. She can''t stay outside for too long."


    risse said as she held her grandmother''s hand.


    "Oh, I would like to apologize for my servants'' actions. They didn''t know that the heating system inside this small outdoor seating facility is not enough to warm Miss Lan." Gabi smiled. "It is the most expensive heating system in this country and yet it wasn''t doing its job properly. Ah what a waste of money. I should buy something more expensive than this. Tsk... Mrs. C!?" Gabi called out one of the maids that stood a few meters away from them. "Please... increase the heat."


    risse hid the irritation in her eyes. Her words were clear! She wanted Gabi to invite them inside! Why was she talking about the heating system? She clenched her teeth while inwardlyining about Gabi''s actions.


    Since it was fall, risse and her grandmother were already wearing thick clothes. In fact, there was nothing wrong with the heating system. She just wanted Gabi to scold that butler and invite them. Who would have thought that she would increase the heat instead?


    She stared at Gabi''s thin dress and almost exploded from anger! Gabi must have anticipated that she wouldin about the heating system! So, she wore a thin dress instead!
