Chapter 1424


    Eunice leaned in toward the manager with a conspiratorial smile. "Bring out all the dishes my folks love,


    would you? And toss in a few extra, for good measure." She added a few of Arabe and Serena''s


    favorites into the mix without missing a beat.


    Serena shot Arabe a smug look that seemed to scream. She thought, "Aunt


    Eunice ordered four dishes for you and four for me. In her eyes, we''re equals”


    Meanwhile, Arabe was engrossed in her phone, thumbing through messages without so much as a


    nce in Serena''s direction.


    But Serena was basking in her moment of triumph. On the patio, she snapped a few selfies before


    calling out, "Grandma, Grandpa,e take a couple of photos with me, will you?"


    Darren and Belinda were deep in conversation, but at the beckon of their granddaughter, they paused


    their chat to brave the chill and pose for a few shots.


    Serena then turned her attention to her uncle and aunt. "Uncle Bard, Aunt


    Eunice, how about a few snaps with me as well?"


    Eunice, while pouring Belinda another cup of tea, feigned annoyance. "Calling everyone but your sister,


    someone might think you''re doing it on purpose.”


    Serena chuckled nervously, "Oh, no way! I was saving the best forst to take photos with her.


    Besides, Arabe wouldn''t overthink it, right?"


    She sought Arabe’s eyes, only to find her still busily tapping away on her phone, oblivious to the


    world around her.


    "Let''s just take photos inside where it''s warm,’ Eunice suggested, refilling Darren''s cup.


    "Absolutely, indoors is better’ Darren agreed, shifting his chair to Arabe''s left. "Be, let''s take a few


    pictures, shall we?"


    "Absolutely, I''ve had my turn with Serena, now it''s Be''s turn’ Belinda chimed in, scooting her chair to


    Arabe''s right.


    Arabe put her phone down and opened a financial report, only to have


    Darren and Belinda crane their necks to take a peek. They were astounded.


    "Be, you understand French? And these are financial reports? You''re working with Dawnstar?”


    Darren asked, incredulous.


    "Just a smallpany I''m involved with, Arabe replied casually.


    The moment the words left her lips, Eunice, who had been peering over, caught sight of the corporate


    seal on the financial report.


    "Be, what''s your role at Ar-Bl-Clear Group?" Eunice asked, genuinely surprised. Understanding


    financial reports suggested a role no less than that of a general manager.


    "I''m in charge,’ Arabe stated inly.


    "Did you found Ar-Bl-Clear Group?"


    "Yes!


    The revtion sent waves of surprise through everyone present.


    "Ar-Bl-Clear Group is a well-known skincare brand here in Dawnstar. I took notice of it a year ago but


    had no idea it was your venture.” Bard praised, amazed. "We knew you were fluent in French, but we


    had no clue you were an entrepreneur here.”


    "And to think May always raved about your skincare products. So you''re the brain behind Ar-Bl-Clear

    Group?” Belinda asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.


    "The primary line, yes."


    Ar-Bl-Clear Group''s gship products were known for their magical effects on troubled skin—e
