“Hmm? Why’s Shane back inside?”
Before anyone could even react to that statement, a scream of shock echoed through the hall.
It wasn’t long after before everyone saw Shane and his subordinates retreating back into the living room, and for good reason too.
A powerful-looking woman made her appearance seconds later, and following behind her, was a group of extremely intimidating men who all appeared to be equally strong.
‘Who… Who could this possibly be…?’ Lady Yaleman thought to herself as the corners of her lips twitched.
Bea, on the other hand, was full of awe and astonishment as she looked at the young and beautiful woman. After all, she had witnessed with her very own eyes how Shane had retreated in fear within that woman’s presence.
“What an absolute coincidence, Shane! We meet again!” said the woman as she chewed on her gum while looking at the terrified man.
“I-It has, miss! It’s truly been forever!” stuttered Shane, his face dripping with cold sweat.
“President Crawford!” greeted Chairman Jagger and the others as they bowed respectfully toward her.
“P-President Crawford…?”
Seeing that all the big shots were bowing toward the young lady, Lady Yaleman bowed slightly herself. She wasn’t against doing so since the new woman truly felt extraordinarily powerful and imposing.
“Grandma!” shouted Bea as she began moving toward her. However, Gerald stuck an arm out, a sign for her to remain standing by his side.
“W-who is she, cousin?” asked Bea nervously as her adorable face blushed.
Smiling, he then patted her on the head before looking toward the woman and saying, “Sister, this here is our cousin! She goes by the name of Bea!”
“…Sister? …Huh? She’s my other cousin… Jessica?” said Bea as she covered her mouth in excitement. After all, she had never known what either of her cousins looked like for the longest time. Today, she was finally able to see what Jessica looked like as well!
“Well hello there, Bea! What a pretty little dear you are!” said Jessica as she walked toward Bea and held on to her hands.
