Royal Garden… Who do they think they are? They really think they live in the imperial palace now just because they have a big company! Such peculiar people!

When Callum was informed, he put down the collaboration plan in his hand and said, “Since it’s my mother’s invitation, please come to the Royal Garden, Miss Edwards.”

She had no choice but to agree now that they had invited her. When she stood up to leave, she looked back at Michael and saw him motion for her to stay calm.

Following them out of the Exalos Hall, she went to meet Mrs. Anna Yard. No, she should be the empress dowager, or the empress herself. Callum and his brother are only princes now.

Why did Anna want to meet me?

She doesn’t even know me.

Unless the Cethosian lady at the restaurant yesterday was really Anna Yard?

Once they were out of the Exalos Hall, a limousine arrived before them. Callum let her in the car first then went in after her.

Michael, Quinton, and the interpreter went in a different car. Several cars began moving toward the Yard Family’s living quarters—the legendary Rear Palace.

 

The Ronney Group was enormous. They did not have skyscrapers like the Michel Group did—where there were elevators to take them to the dining hall. All the buildings here were no more than ten storeys high, and the functional departments were probably all separated.

They passed by several palace doors and drove for ten minutes from the office to the Yards’ living quarters before arriving at the Royal Garden; it was the Yard Family’s private garden that mimicked the ancient imperial family’s landscape design. Sophia also had a garden like that, but it was not as big.

 

Michael and Quinton were kept out of the garden while Sophia went in with Callum and an assistant. In the gazebo in the middle of the pond, several girls who looked like servants were waiting on a noble lady drinking tea.

The servants’ clothes still had the allure of the previous dynasty, but they had been modified to adapt to modern life. Unless there was an important imperial festival, the Yard Family still kept to modern-day clothes and lifestyles.

When Sophia entered the gazebo, she recognized the Cethosian lady she saw at the restaurant the day before.
