Chapter 852: Chapter 314: News (Two-in-One Large Chapter)
In response to the beautiful lady’s teasing, Rein smiled but didn’t reply. Instead, he countered, “How much do you know about this Duke Delam, Jennifer?”
Upon hearing Rein’s question, the beautiful lady shook her head and said:
“I’ve just taken over the Munster Branch, so I’m not quite familiar with some things yet.”
“Moreover, although this Duke Delam is a major stockholder, he has been in the Imperial City for years and seems to have never appeared at the Munster Branch’s shareholder meetings. Here, he merely has a representative, a man named Sam, who is the head of the Sam Group.”
“I even met him today during a meeting; he seems to be a rather powerful Second Level Wizard.”
A wizard, huh?
Rein nodded.
“Have someone investigate this Sam Group over the next couple of days.”
“Hmm, should we take the initiative to communicate with them?” the beautiful lady thought for a moment and suggested.
Rein shook his head and said, “No need, I don’t have time to talk with them right now.”
“Besides, they should be the ones to come to me about this, not the other way around.”
…
In the evening, at Rein’s new residence, a grand dinner was held to welcome Anna’s return.
The beautiful lady, Jennifer, volunteered to sit on the other side of Anna, frequently introducing delicious food to her and constantly talking about Rein’s glorious achievements, with praise overflowing.
This left Jenny, sitting nearby, utterly dumbfounded!
She couldn’t understand her mother’s mysterious behavior at all!
Was she really pushing her own lover away?
Though having lovers among the nobles in Dragan Empire was quite common.
She had expected it; even if her mother was with Rein, it was normal for Rein to have a few lovers outside.
But the problem was, her mother’s stance seemed like… how to put it?
It seemed as if she was impatiently pushing Rein towards Anna.
This scene also left Agatha, sitting nearby, baffled. After a moment, she lightly nudged her best friend, saying:
“Hey, Jenny, did you have a fight with your mother? She’s not trying to matchmake her own daughter next to her, but is instead matching Lord Rein and this new girl?”
Jenny also looked bewildered, not knowing how to answer her friend’s question, shaking her head, she said:
“I don’t know either, but I haven’t fought with my mother.”
Additionally, she silently corrected her friend’s words in her heart, ‘This girl is not new; she knew Rein even before my mother…’
The great enthusiasm the beautiful lady showed towards Anna left Anna a bit at a loss.
She didn’t quite understand why this elegant and beautiful noblewoman was so… fond of her.
Meanwhile, Rein’s mother, Emma, couldn’t stop smiling!
Initially, with the natural sensitivity of a woman, she vaguely sensed that this enchanting Baroness Crowley had an unusual relationship with her son.
Because, sometimes, the way she looked at her son was so gentle that it was almost dripping…
As someone who had experienced it, Emma naturally knew what that meant.
Although this enchanting Baroness Crowley was capable and quite beautiful, the problem was, she was too old and was a widow.
Though a noble lady, a widow is a widow, isn’t it?
However, seeing today’s scenario where the beautiful lady was so eager to matchmake Rein and Anna, it completely dispelled Emma’s worries.
It seemed she was being overly sensitive before, and Baroness Crowley must have been merely admiring her son. That was quite normal….
After all, women are drawn to strength.
Actually, for the beautiful lady Jennifer, the reason for her actions wasn’t that complicated.
Last time, she wanted Rein to find a noble lady with extraordinary abilities, because, as a normal person, she truly couldn’t handle it anymore…
Though it wasn’t a noble lady that came her way, surprisingly, it was a rare Elf Girl.
But as long as she could share some ‘firepower’, that would be fine!
However, when she subtly asked about Rein’s thoughts, it turned out he was going with the flow, which naturally made her even more anxious than Rein. That’s why she was matchmaking variously at the welcome dinner, creating opportunities for Anna and Rein to be alone.
After dinner, thanks to Jennifer’s efforts.
Anna and Rein finally got some rare alone time.
“Wow! Has Qu Qi grown this big?”
You know, when Anna left, Qu Qi was still a little puppy, but now, it’s tall and mighty, with an exaggerated size comparable to a pony.
“Rein, what did you feed Qu Qi, uh, wait…. did Qu Qi become a ferocious beast?”
“How is that possible?” Bending down just now, Anna’s beautiful eyes widened, and after she stroked Qu Qi’s head, she immediately noticed something.
As a formal Druid, her perception of animals and plants far exceeded that of ordinary people.
“Woof! Woof!”
Feeling that the soft and warm little hand suddenly stopped stroking its head, Qu Qi barked twice in dissatisfaction, expressing ‘I want more’.
“This guy…” Rein couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.
Anna giggled and continued to rub Qu Qi’s head, which made Qu Qi so comfortable that its eyes squinted.
The scent of this female owner was well remembered, but… it seemed even lovelier now, giving it a sense of intimacy, which made Qu Qi rub against Anna’s pant legs to show affection.
