After all the times he had driven Karen, this was the first time she had ever initiated a conversation
with him.
“Not tired at all,” he replied.
Karen continued. “Baber, did you think that youngdy we just dropped off was pretty?”
Baber, unsure of where Karen was headed with this, decided to stick with the truth. “Yes, she’s
pretty.”
Upon hearing this, Karen lit up her face with pride. “Of course! Sherman’s wife is bound to be
beautiful.”
Baber was speechless. So Karen had taken him on such a roundabout conversation just to brag
about how gorgeous Sherman’s wife would be?
Anthea returned home.
Nanson had already arrived and was sitting in the living room, chatting with Carole.
“Ann, you’re back just in time. ine’s birthday is tomorrow. Carole and I were discussing heading
over to her ce. You’ve been back for a while and haven’t met many of the rtives. It’s a good
chance to get to know everyone.”
“Aunt ine’s ce?” Anthea paused, then remembered that Carole had not only a younger
brother like Nanson but also two older sisters and an older brother.
Nanson was referring to Carole’s eldest sister, ine Yeager.
“Sure,” Anthea nodded, then added, “What time are we going tomorrow? I’ll head to bed early
tonight.”
Lately, Anthea had been swamped with developing her OS System, workingte into the night..
“No need to rush,” Carole added. “We’ll leave around nine in the morning.”
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
The next morning, Anthea was up early. After a jog, she joined Carole and Nanson on their way
to ine’s house.
After a two–hour journey on the bus, weaving through the city, they finally arrived.
Anthea hadn’t expected Aunt ine’s living conditions to be so grand.
A majestic vi stood before them,plete with a sprawling front garden and tworge fountains
to the left.
Standing in front of the opulent vi, Carole seemed a bit tense.
Anthea looped her arm through Carole’s, “Mom, one day I’ll buy you and Uncle Nanson twenty
vis like this each. One for you to live in and neen to rent out. You can just collect the rent, and
don’t even need to work.”
“Really?” Nanson said excitedly. Though it sounded like a boast, he believed that Anthea could
make it happen.
“Of course.”
Carole smiled, “It’s the thought that counts.” Clearly, she didn’t take Anthea’s words to heart.
In Cloudcrest, an average vi would cost at least seven million dors.
A vi like this one at least cost ten million.
A million dors was out of reach for them, let alone twenty.
Nanson stepped forward to ring the doorbell
The door was opened by a housekeeper.
The housekeeper, upon seeing Carole and Anthea, didn’t show much respect, but rather a hint
of scorn.
Shameless, poor rtivesing to mooch again!
The housekeeper didn’t invite them in right away but turned and called out, “Mrs. Lyons, there are
guests!”
Soon after, ine emerged, “Who is it?”
Out of all the Yeager family, ine had married the best.
ine’s husband was none other than Hancock Lyons, known in Cloudcrest as the best doctor. No
one could challenge Hancock’s medical expertise in Cloudcrest.
She and Hancock had two daughters, the eldest a renownedwyer and the youngest attending a
prestigious university.
It wasn’t an overstatement to call ine the most sessful of the Yeager family.
This gave Carole a sense of superiority in front of Nanson.
Though siblings, they were hardly from the same world.
“How do you do, ine?” Carole and Nanson greeted.
ine nodded, “Oh, it’s you! Come in. Delia, fetch some disposable slippers for our guests.”
As she spoke, ine seemed to notice Anthea for the first time. “Who might this be?”
“This is my daughter, Anthea. Ann, this is your Aunt ine.”
“Pleased to meet you,” Anthea said politely.
ine scrutinized Anthea, a flicker of barely detectable disdain in her eyes.
