Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby novel Chapter 13

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." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

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."

She then picked up her phone and called Dominic Blanc, the head of Clan Blanc.

"Greetings, Grandpa Dominic. How is your health these days?" she said warmly as soon as he answered.

After exchanging pleasantries, she got straight to the point. "I have to say, I'm a little disappointed by today's incident. Though it's partly my fault for not informing you sooner. The Leroux family doesn't know I'm in the Kingdom yet. If they want to eliminate me to pressure my grandmother, your family is my first line of defense. Even if they're unaware of my combat skills, they will undoubtedly send their best assassins. If my security team isn't up to the task, it will be a problem."

Dominic assured her that reinforcements would be sent immediately, and they discussed further security measures before she ended the call.

Eleanor then turned to the staff present and declared firmly, "I want all my staff to be trained professionals. I've already survived multiple assassination attempts in the States. The Leroux family will strike again if they get the chance. I trust Clan Blanc, but if anyone feels unprepared for the responsibility of protecting me, let me know now. You will be replaced with someone more capable. If there are any vacant positions that Clan Blanc cannot fill, inform me as soon as possible, and I will make alternative arrangements."

After issuing her orders, she stood up. "My assistant, Teresa Li, will be bringing some vehicles later. Inform me when she arrives."

With that, she ascended the stairs, searching for Ethan and Freya. Following the sound of laughter, she found them immersed in a game.

She paused at the doorway, watching them. Ethan, usually composed and intimidating, now appeared completely at ease, his usual cold expression replaced by warmth as he played with their daughter.

Freya had missed her father terribly, especially after starting school. Despite Ethan's daily video calls, they had only met in person a handful of times. Seeing them like this, Eleanor decided to give them some time together.

"Freya, I'm going to take a bath. Freshen up after you're done playing," she said casually before heading to the master bedroom.
