Chapter 293: Enchanting

[Old Pierson Household]

"Renren, the carrots."

"Here, Grandma."

"Renren, peel that one more thinly."

"Okay, Grandma."

"Thinner!"

"Okay."

"Grab me that one."

"Here."

"You’re cutting it wrong! Tsk tsk! How are you going to feed your wife real food if you don’t know how to do this?"

"I’ll try again."

"Be careful! You’ll cut yourself!"

Every servant in the residence couldn’t help but exchange incredulous looks. No words were said, but the shock and confusion in their eyes were evident. They slowly turned their eyes to the scene in the kitchen, speechless at what was unfolding before them.

The Old Madam was in the kitchen, preparing dinner after many years! And to top it all off, Zoren was helping her. They had never seen Zoren help out in the kitchen — ever!

But look at them now!

If they hadn’t heard that Zoren’s wife was coming over, they would have thought the grandmother and grandson duo found out they were dying tomorrow! Not only that, but Old Mrs. Pierson seemed more energetic, as if a young person had possessed her.

She wasn’t even using her cane much!

"Butler Hubert..." one servant moved closer to the head butler’s side and quietly asked, "Is the young madam really coming over?"

Butler Hubert glanced at the servants, only to see the deep curiosity in their eyes.

Ever since Zoren confessed he had been married for the past five years, everyone was in disbelief. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say they didn’t really buy it, thinking he only said so to avoid worrying his grandmother. However, when Old Mrs. Pierson returned from the company, she was so invigorated and told everyone about the dinner plans.

"What is she like, Butler Hubert?" one of the servants asked quietly. "You went with the Old Madam today. Did you meet her earlier?"

Hushed inquiries from the servants bombarded Butler Hubert, as they were all curious about what kind of woman had tamed Zoren Pierson.

"Sadly, I had to run an errand as soon as I dropped off the Old Madam," Butler Hubert sighed apologetically. "But if the Old Madam is this energetic and excited, I bet she’s a good woman."

The servants looked at each other, conflicted, before shifting their eyes back to the head butler.

"For now, make sure there isn’t a speck of dust around the mansion," he said. "And prepare the Young Master’s bedroom... he and the young madam might be staying over."

He smiled helplessly and added, "The Old Madam said not to upset her, so make sure everything she sees here will impress her."

"What about Renny, Butler Hubert?" one of the servants asked worriedly.

"I’ll keep him in the greenhouse," said Butler Hubert, knowing no one in this household—except Zoren and Butler Hubert—could come close to Renny and leave unscathed. "Aside from that, the rest of you will prepare the house while others stay here to assist the Old Madam and the Young Master."

With that, the servants, who had gathered to watch the shocking scene in the kitchen, dispersed. Some left to ensure the entire house was spotless, while others stayed in the kitchen to assist the grandmother and grandson duo and the chefs.

Hours later...

Penny slowly drove into the country’s billionaire’s row: Skyline Plaza.

"Wow," she whispered. "Skyline Plaza is something else, huh? No wonder Slater keeps bragging about buying a place here."

Just a small lot in this area costs tens of millions, and for an entire lot for a small home, it would cost hundreds of millions. The thing was, houses in these places weren’t just a few hundred square meters.

"Good thing I bought a property here as well," she thought, recalling how she had been investing in real estate since she earned her capital for her first property. "Where are the Piersons’..."

Penny trailed off as she glanced at her mobile map, which indicated she had arrived. Deep lines appeared between her brows as she lowered her head to look through the windshield. All she could see were walls on the side that stretched farther than her headlights could illuminate.

"It’s like a fortress," she whispered, driving around slowly to find the gate. "Wow, the Piersons are incredibly rich."

This shouldn’t have surprised her because everyone knew the Piersons were the richest family in Anteca. However, now that she was following these fortified walls that stretched over acres of land, she was still in awe.

"Now I feel dirt poor," she scrunched up her nose, growing a little impatient to find the entrance to this seemingly modern castle.

Ding!

Miss Penny, where are you?]

She sighed and reached for her phone. "Outside," she replied.

[From: Mr. Vitt amin deficient

Outside? I was told they can’t see you, and the guards haven’t informed the servants of an approaching car. Did you follow the map I sent you? My boss is worried! I wasn’t there to pick you up!]

Did he think she didn’t know how to get from point A to point B with so many digital maps nowadays?

Penny shook her head and increased her speed, thinking that if she kept driving slowly, Old Mrs. Pierson might fall asleep. After another five minutes at that speed, Penny’s face couldn’t help but twist. No wonder they couldn’t see her; she had come from the back of the huge mansion.

When she finally arrived at her destination, she saw Old Mrs. Pierson and Zoren standing on the wide porch of the house. Old Mrs. Pierson was beaming while holding on to her grandson’s arm.

"Old Mrs. Pierson is such a precious person," she whispered and smiled subtly. Just like her dislike of Dean Pierson, Penny couldn’t explain why she liked Old Mrs. Pierson as soon as they exchanged words.

Meanwhile, as the car approached, all the servants who had come out to give Zoren’s wife a proper welcome waited with bated breath. Questions flew through their minds, and their curiosity was at an all-time high.

Was she as beautiful as the old madam had described?

Was she kind? Humble? Was she tall or short? What were the colors of her eyes? What did she look like that made Zoren Pierson fall for her?

Everyone’s breath hitched when the car stopped and the headlights switched off. Slowly, they craned their necks, their eyes wide with anticipation, their hearts thudding nervously for some unknown reason.

When the driver’s seat door opened with a faint click, they all froze and watched the person step out. As soon as Penny straightened her back and stood behind the opened door, everyone shared one thought:

A goddess... someone who descended to Earth and walked among mere mortals.

She is... enchanting.
