Chapter 292 Chapter 292 The maid hurried inside to notify Karen and Adah that Anthea had arrived.

As the door swung open, the maid accompanied Anthea into the grand foyer of the estate. With an air of formality, she announced, "Good day, Dr. Yeager. I'm the Christensen family's butler. Please, callPearl. The madam has been up since dawn eagerly awaiting your visit. She'll be over the moon to see you!" Pearl had followed the family from the bustling metropolis of Capital City.

Her own husband served as the butler in the Christensen's city residence.

Karen, who considered Pearl family, confided in her freely, sharing all sorts of news and secrets.

Pearl was well aware that Karen had her heart set on Anthea becoming part of the family as her future granddaughter-in-law.

Thus, Pearl treated Anthea with utmost respect, not out of obligation, but genuine reverence.

Before meeting Anthea, Pearl had harbored doubts, wondering if Karen had been fooled.

But all skepticism vanished upon seeing Anthea, replaced with sheer wonder.

She was a rarity, a beauty with such grace that even the sophisticated ladies of Capital City paled in comparison. Pearl had once puzzled over Karen's fondness for Anthea, but now that she met her, she too was smitten.

In the living room, Karen sprang from her sofa in surprise upon hearing that Dr. Yeager had arrived. "Where is she? Where is she?" she exclaimed. Startled by Karen's abrupt movement, the cat in her lap leapt to the floor, meowing pitifully.

Ignoring Adah's beloved pet, Karen bustled toward the entrance.

Adah descended from upstairs to find her cherished cat in distress and scooped it up, cooing, "What's wrong, sweetheart? Who upset you?" Hearing the maid's report that Dr. Yeager had arrived and Karen had gone out to greet her, Adah was taken aback.

She carelessly set the cat aside and hurried outside herself, leaving the cat to lament its lot.

Along the estate's cherry blossom-lined path, trees bloomed in vibrant shades of pink.

A gentle spring breeze sent petals dancing through the air, a scene so enchanting it could be mistaken for paradise.

Karen had barely stepped into the garden when she spotted Anthea approaching.

Her figure was lithe, adorned in a wine-colored overcoat that caught the eye with every graceful step.

Ordinary folk would be overshadowed by the cherry blossoms' splendor, but not Anthea. Her porcelain features seemed to draw the very brilliance from the flowers, a living testament to the saying that true beauty eclipses even nature's finest.

Through the veil of blossoms, Karen blinked in awe before rushing toward Anthea.

"Ann!" "Mrs. Christensen." "Ann!" Karen reached for Anthea's hand, slightly out of breath. "Why didn't you call ahead? I would have cto wait for you at the gate!" Anthea offered a slight smile. "Don't worry, I'm capable of finding the way myself, Karen." Karen, puzzled, asked, "But how did you get in? Sunnybrook Estate has strict security. Normally, visitors can't just walk in without verification." Not only was Karen curious, but Pearl, following behind, also wondered.

Anthea seemed surprised herself, "Is it usually difficult to enter?"

Pearl chuckled and said, "Madam, I reckon the guards saw Ms. Yeager's extraordinary aura and knew fight away she was no ordinary visitor, so they let her in." "That's exactly it! You're spot on, Pearl!" Karen beamed with pride.

Her granddaughter-in-law-to-be was exceptional - admitted with just a ve glance! As they exited the cherry blossom path, Adah approached rapidly.

Upon seeing Anthea beside Karen, Adah was flabbergasted.

Is this Anthea? Am I hallucinating? Anthea, equally surprised, greeted, "Adah? Is that you?"

It was only when Anthea spoke that m Adah realized it was no illusion. M Anthea ha truly ́arrived. X
