Chapter 289 Chapter 289 "Don't worry, I promise I'll be there." Karen flashed a smile. "I'm over at 2 Sunnybrook Estate. Annie, don't forget to swing by early tomorrow, okay? Givea ring when you're close! Never mind, I'll just call you!" Annie was well-aware of Sunnybrook Estate, the ritzy neighborhood of Cloudcrest.

To say that the real estate there was worth its weight in gold would be an understatement.

Karen must be rolling in dough to live in a place like that! After spending an afternoon at the Yeagers', and triple-checking that Annie would show up as promised, Karen reluctantly left their home.

Annie walked her to the entrance of the complex.

The Christensen family's car was already parked curbside, with Baber, the driver, at the wheel.

As Karen settled into the car, her grin didn't fade. Leaning back, she asked, "Baber, you been working your tail off driving lately?" Baber blinked, a strange sense of déjà vu washing over him.

Karen had only struck up a conversation with him twice before.

The first twas to boast about her beautiful granddaughter-in-law. The second was to brag about being the coolest granny in Luxphinia.

He wondered what she was going to show off about this time.

Poor guy couldn't catch a break! "Thanks for asking, ma'am, but I'm managing just fine." Karen went on, "So... have you gotten yourself a girlfriend yet?" "Nope." Baber shook his head.

Karen frowned. "Last year, you were flying solo, and here we are, another year gone and you're still a lone wolf?" Baber was speechless. That stung! It took him a moment, but he finally mustered, "Ma'am, you sure are hip, knowing all about 'lone wolves' and all." Karen was closing in on 90.

For a nonagenarian to be slinging around inteslang like 'lone wolf' was quite something.

Karen said with a hint of smugness, "Of course, my grandson was like you, but thanks to me-Luxphinia's coolest granny-he doesn't need to anymore! What can I say, the kid's lucky to have me! If not for my help, he'd probably be in the sboat as you." Baber could only sigh in silence. Today was all about Karen flexing her granny muscles.

She continued, "Baber, what do you think of my eye for people?" Finally, the conversation took a turn away from his bachelorhood.

Baber exhaled in relief and nodded. "Pretty sharp." Despite her age, Karen's sense of style was impeccable, even by Baber's youthful standards.

Karen beamed, "Exactly! If I didn't have a keen eye, how could I have snagged such a beautiful bride for my grandson?" Baber internally groaned. Here she comes, the granddaughter-in-low talk again.

Meanwhile, at the Christensen Group headquarters...

In the penthouse office, a man dressed in a simple, elegant suit held a pen in one hand and sifted through documents with the other.

His movements were understated, yet they exuded an innate aura of command that was hard to ignore.

Just then, the rhythm of a knock broke the silence.

The man looked up, revealing deep, dark eyes. "Cin." It was none other than Daniel Robinson, holding a stack of documents.

"Sherman, these all need your signature." "Just put them here." Daniel added, "By the way, Sherman, have you heard of AY Tech Co., Ltd?" "Nope." Sherman twirled his pen, his expression indifferent.

Daniel's face lit up with surprise. "No way! You don't know AY? Lettell you, this company is on fire! They've cout with climate controlled clothing! Imagine that-apparel with adjustable temperatures! AY Tech, just a few months after their launch, is already gearing up to go public. Even the markets in Europe and America are wary of them!"

AY Tech, though a newcomer, had an unexpectedly fierce momentumm Every tthey dropped a new product, no matter the price, it sold out in an instant. The waitlist for an appointment with their star designer was pushed back to the following year.

Given the current trend, it wouldn't be long before AY Teck rose to becTeckyrose.
