Arabella followed the housekeeper into the living room, where she caught sight of a stunning figure
standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows.
She was dressed in a chic silk robe, exuding elegance and sensuality, with her short, wavy chestnut
hair giving off a vibe of sophistication.
“Ma’am, Ms. Bella has arrived."
Eunice Griffith turned around, her striking features bold and vivacious. With her arms crossed over her
chest, she radiated a powerful presence, yet carried it with undeniable flair.
Contrary to the delicate and gentle image Arabella had envisioned, her aunt's beauty was aggressive
and provocative, like a thorny, mesmerizing rose, vibrant and dazzling.
“So, you're Arabella?" Eunice lifted the corners of her lips, her aura and poise perfectly balanced. She
smiled warmly at Arabella, “Come here, let me have a look at you."
Arabella stepped forward and greeted her aunt.
Eunice scrutinized her from head to toe, her alluring eyes filled with approval, "You do bear some
resemblance to Louisa, but you have a stronger presence, and you certainly catch the eye."
“Thank you for the compliment, Eunice.
Eunice's red lips curled into a smile, “I've heard from your uncle that, despite your young age, you're
not only a medical prodigy and a top scholar but also skilled in self-defense, and you even have a
retinue of loyal followers."
Suddenly, Gordon burst into the room, and the housekeeper, unable to stop him, apologized with a
bowed head, "I'm so Sorry, ma'am, I couldn't stop him."
"It's fine." Eunice's captivating eyes held a hint of nonchalance as she turned to Gordon, "What's the
matter?"
She seemed to always be in control, as if everything was within her grasp.
“Ma‘am, although the people you've brought back are fiercely loyal to you, they were once Alexander's
men. If there's a seed of vengeance in them."
"Gordon, you worry too much’ Eunice interjected confidently, "If I dared to bring them here, I trust them.
They wont do anything to hurt Bard or the Griffith family. I know you're devoted to this house. Rest
assured, they are on the same side as you, with aligned ambitions."
With Eunice's reassurance, Gordon immediately bowed, "My apologies for my concerns and for
interrupting your leisure, ma'am."
“You always have the Griffith family's best interests at heart, which is a joy for me and for the family.
Someone, instruct the staff to double Gordon's salary this month."
Gordon was stunned by the sudden doubling of his pay, completely flabbergasted.
Arabella's respect for her aunt soared. Eunice had expected to be on her own in “enemy territory,’ yet
here was she, having won over many of Alexander's followers, ensuring their loyalty.
It was clear Eunice was no ordinary woman.
Once Gordon had left, Eunice's gaze returned to Arabella, her tone softening again, "I came back in
such a hurry that I haven't had the chance to prepare a welcome gift for you. Let's go to the mall later
and pick something out."
Before Arabella could refuse, Eunice added, "No refusals. It's been a while since I had a day out
shopping.
Consider it keeping me company, a favor to me."
Arabella smiled, “Alright."
"There's my good girl.” Eunice affectionately tapped Arabella's nose, her eyes filled with indulgence, "I'll
go change my clothes then."
"Wait, Arabella called out to her.
