It was all good as long as she was alive.


No worries as long as she was okay.


But.


Who's this girl across from Eunice?


Reporting on business with an outsider present, was that really okay?


“No need to fuss, she's my niece, but it's no issue." Eunice's blend of elegance and authority was


undeniable, an effortless display of cool confidence.


Jimmy immediately averted his gaze.


Although he had no idea when Eunice had acquired a niece, if Eunice said it was fine, he believed her.


"Mrs. Griffith, during your absence, all nineteen of your companies have been running smoothly. Mr.


Griffith hasn't interfered. He said you trusted us, so he left us in full charge. The net profits have been


consistently deposited into your account each month, have you noticed?"


“I've seen it; Eunice said with an approving smile, “and it's up."


Each month was better than the last.


“All credit qoes to you, Mrs. Griffith! Your strategic foresight planned our future development. We're just


following the path you set out."


Indeed, Eunice's direction had been spot-on, and the nineteen companies were thriving, earning


respect from industry insiders.


“Weren't you afraid I wouldn't return?” Eunice asked with a raised eyebrow.


“Each of these companies, you led us to build from the ground up without relying on Mr. Griffith or


anyone else's influence! Just for that, even if you never returned, we'd continue to manage them for


you, ensuring the net profits hit your account every month until our dying day"


“Besides, we figured you were just tired and needed a vacation. Ever since you disappeared, not one


of us has left headquarters. We all waited for your comeback!"


Eunice knew her team was devoted. Her eyes sparkled with gratitude and emotion.


“You've all worked hard during this time. I'll have them give an extra year's salary as my thanks for your


dedication."


"You're too kind, Mrs. Griffith. We're just doing our jobs!" Jimmy finished, pulling a stack of reports from


his bag, "While you were out, I compiled the monthly data and progress of all nineteen companies. It's


too much for a phone call, so I'll leave it with you to review at home."


Eunice glanced at the pile of reports, aware of the hard work her team had put in during her absence.


The topmost financial statement alone was impressive.


"Let's discuss this after I've had a chance to go through it"


“Of course, I won't disturb your meal any longer. It's a joy to see you back safe and sound!"


Her smile grew, "You've mentioned that more than once."


Jimmy hadn't expected to become such a chatterbox and, with an embarrassed smile, excused


himself.


Arabella never imagined her aunt had built up nineteen companies without leaning on her uncle's


influence.


The loyalty shown by the company's employees during Eunice's absence was remarkable.


No wonder Eunice carried herself with such effortless grace and assertiveness. With such an empire


backing her, she exuded an aura of confidence and strength.


To have an aunt like this—intellectually independent, financially self-sufficient, full of ideas, and yet so


charismatic—was not only Arabella's good fortune but her uncle's as well.


It could only be said that her uncle was indeed fortunate to have a wife like Eunice.
