The capital of Country C, Aethelburg.
Caleb Lockwood was driving a deep space gray Koenigsegg up the winding mountain road.
The destination was the location Wendy Linton had sent him.
This was a piece of private land.
Just like in Country A, land in Country C can also be privately owned.
Caleb knew that the entirety of Mount Linton belonged to the Linton Family.
Along the way, he kept an eye out for that car he knew so well—
The imperial blue Bentley, which was now Serena Jennings’ car.
Caleb wondered if Serena would call him.
Because he was currently Serena’s assistant, as well as her driver, if what Wendy said was true and Serena was also coming to Country C for the birthday banquet, then it was very likely she would ask him to drive.
However, until the last moment, he didn’t receive a call from Serena.
He also didn’t proactively call Serena.
His intuition told him that Serena seemed to have an unspeakable relationship with the Linton Family.
When Caleb drove the car to the destination, he saw from afar the white BMW 3 Series parked in the parking lot.
Serena had really come.
But she hadn’t come in her previous car.
Caleb’s sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Unless attending events as the General Manager of the Lockwood Group, Serena wouldn’t drive her previous car.
Is it that she’s not only rejecting him, but even rejecting his car?
Caleb sighed and got out of the car, looking around for Serena’s figure.
The only building on Mount Linton was Wendy Linton’s grandfather’s private residence.
Jasper Linton—
An oil tycoon in Country C, who steadily infiltrated through oil monopoly, eventually becoming the biggest capital power behind Country C.
He was Aaron Linton’s father and also Wendy Linton’s grandfather.
Jasper Linton’s seventieth birthday, Caleb had thought the gates of this residence would be bustling, with personalities from various circles coming to congratulate.
However, to Caleb’s surprise, the residence was very quiet, and the entrance was deserted.
Caleb handed his invitation to the guard at the gate and walked in casually.
This place was purely designed in Chinese style, with a courtyard in traditional Chinese garden style, pavilions, towers, and carved beams and painted rafters. Although it wasn’t quite like an ancient costume drama set, every corner exuded a classic and elegant atmosphere.
Caleb noticed many objects meant to ward off evil spirits, like Peach Wood Swords and Eight Diagrams Mirrors.
The entire residence faced south, with a water feature in front, winding and twisting, symbolizing wealth flowing continuously.
The courtyard was planted with auspicious bodhi trees, ginkgo, and purple bamboo.
Judging from the decoration and design of the private residence, its owner Jasper Linton must be a very meticulous person.
"Mr. Lockwood..."
At this moment, a man walked toward him.
"I am the butler here, you may call me Old Wang. Mr. Lockwood, you’ve come a long way and must be weary from the journey. Old Mr. Lowell is already waiting for you in the living room, please come this way."
Inside the Chinese-style living room.
Serena Jennings stood in front of Jasper Linton.
Aaron Linton, Jade Shaw, and Wendy Linton sat on either side.
The atmosphere in the entire living room was oppressive, even eerie. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
The only person with a smile on their face was Wendy Linton.
Jasper Linton was Serena’s biological grandfather.
Yet facing Jasper, Serena’s face only showed coldness, as if the person before her was not her family but her enemy.
The two stared at each other for a while, then Serena stretched out her hand, palm facing Jasper.
Jasper didn’t move.
He just silently stared at Serena’s palm.
After a long time, he casually handed something to Serena—
It was a picture frame.
"Your destiny line has improved..."
The elderly voice had barely reached Serena’s ears before she turned around.
She had already achieved her purpose and had no need to stay any longer.
"Today is your grandfather’s seventieth birthday, won’t you even say a word of congratulations?!"
