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, call me Pearl. 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.
