Chapter 13 - Relations

When the butler went outside to handle the situation, Eleanor picked up her phone and dialed Teresa, her childhood friend.

"I've arrived in the Kingdom. I'm sending you the address. Come as fast as you can. What about the ten Range Rovers I asked you to purchase?"

Teresa responded promptly, "I managed to buy six from the market. The other four will be delivered within a week."

"Alright. Bring all six with you. I have some things to take care of here, so we'll talk later."

She ended the call, asked a staff member for the villa's exact address, and quickly sent it to Teresa.

Teresa Li had been Eleanor's friend since primary school. Her family once owned a renowned Shaolin dojo, where Eleanor had visited multiple times as a child. Teresa had always been a skilled fighter, trying to teach Eleanor self-defense techniques, but Eleanor, a pampered heiress, had never been interested in such rigorous training.

However, after Teresa's father passed away, their dojo was forced to close due to pressure from competitors. Teresa and her mother then moved to San Francisco to live with her aunt, who owned a small business there.

Fate brought them back together two years ago when Eleanor went to acquire a promising AI startup, only to find Teresa as one of its co-founders. Instead of simply taking over the company, Eleanor offered her an even better opportunity... to work as her personal assistant and help build a new tech empire. Teresa accepted without hesitation, eager to prove herself in the business world.

After resolving the disturbance outside, the butler returned.

Eleanor looked at him and asked, "Did you report the situation to your clan head?"

The butler's face flashed in embarrassment, he hesitated before nodding. "Y-Yes, Ma'am."

She studied his nervous posture before offering a reassuring smile. "Don't worry. I trust Clan Blanc. Your family has served us for generations without fail. I won't hold you personally accountable for something like this."
