Chapter 486: Chapter 486 Jeffrey Foster’s Invitation Chapter 486: Chapter 486 Jeffrey Foster’s Invitation Several top-tier luxury cars slowly drove into Moon Lake Manor.
As they got out of the cars, the group of people looked at the vast estate. Contrary to the luxurious opulence they had imagined, the manor exuded a rustic charm. However, it was different from ordinary countryside; it was refined and elegant. Every plant had been ticulously designed and maintained.
From a distance, it seed like stepping into a dreamy fairyland.
“How beautiful!” More than a dozen people exclaid in unison.
Lena Locke’s eyes sparkled. “Uncle Piers, this place is so beautiful!”
On the way, Lena had heard the driver call Abigail Green’s uncle Housekeeper Piers, so she followed suit and called him Uncle Piers. The other students heard this and followed as well, each pondering in their minds.
Lena said this Uncle Piers was Abigail Green’s uncle, but the driver called him the housekeeper and his surna was Piers. Everyone couldn’t help but speculate more about Abigail’s identity.
Housekeeper Piers hadn’t seen Moon Lake Manor this lively in a long ti. Looking at the young faces, he felt particularly happy and invited everyone to board the electric cart.
Sally Hood followed behind Lena and Sophie Hope, chirping happily like a little bird. She was so excited that she even forgot about her boyfriend.
Davis Hudson, who had always considered himself well-off, knew the Hudson family had quite a na in Gills City. He could also be called Master Hudson. However, since entering Moon Lake Manor, he had been unusually quiet.
Unlike others who ca just for the fun, he had noticed the advanced security asures even before entering. If he was not mistaken, the mont they entered the manor, each of them got scanned.
But what shocked him the most was the size of the estate.
This was Swallow City, a place where every inch of land was precious. The Piers family had managed to secure thousands of acres to create such a paradise.
He felt fortunate that he hadn’t intervened when the Lily sisters bullied Abigail Green….
Wilson Jasper and Ralf didn’t have as many thoughts as Davis. As soon as they entered, they were like kids in a candy store, everything seed new and exciting. They also felt a bit nervous.
Especially when they realized they were in the family estate of Brandon Piers from Swallow City. It made them even more anxious.
The others felt the sa way.
Sitting on the electric cart, they traversed the manor. When they passed by the main house, everyone couldn’t help but marvel at how this beautiful house was situated in such a magnificent place. The joy of the rich was indeed beyond ordinary people’s imagination.
Only Jeffrey Foster looked at the aged, yet elegantly renovated house with faint recognition and fell into deep thought.
The electric carts successively reached the edge of Moon Lake. Everyone cheered at the sight of the three-ter-long beautiful dining table and various barbecue setups, but what excited them more was Moon Lake and the forest behind it.
Living in Swallow City for so long, even a small creek could make everyone excited for a long ti, let alone such a beautiful Moon Lake.
Abigail Green, who was busy, saw everyone coming and greeted them happily, but her eyes t Jeffrey Foster’s inquisitive gaze.
“Mr. Foster?” Abigail looked at him in surprise.
She didn’t rember inviting him.
“I’m sorry, but I ca along because I was worried about so many people. I hope you don’t mind, Abigail,” Jeffrey Foster smiled warmly, making it hard to refuse.
“It’s fine, Mr. Foster, please make yourself comfortable.” Abigail wondered if there was any use in refusing right now.
She might not mind, but soone certainly would.
She was also worried about how her grandfather would react to seeing Jeffrey Foster here.
And what about Brandon Piers? Would he get angry at her for Jeffrey’s presence?
Abigail glanced at Jeffrey, then thought about the two and felt her head ache!
Her wise and courteous senior didn’t notice her discomfort and casually sat at the dining table, appreciating the splendid scenery of Moon Lake.
Just when Abigail was worrying, Lena Locke charged at her like a little cannonball and hugged her tightly. “Abigail, you’re amazing! Your uncle is the housekeeper of Moon Lake Manor. That’s so impressive. Why didn’t you tell !”
Abigail had almost forgotten about this matter. She was stunned for a mont, then rembered who her uncle was and quickly changed the subject. “Is everyone here?”
“Almost. This place is fantastic. Can I catch fish down there?” Lena, who had grown up in Swallow City with little opportunity to visit places with lakes, streams, and forests, was thrilled and didn’t notice Abigail’s attempt to change the subject.
“Sure, I have prepared rain boots for you all. You can wear them to go fishing, but don’t go too deep,” Abigail almost let the secret slip.
Lena responded vaguely and rushed to the lake.
Abigail shook her head in amusent. Just then Sophie Hope, Sally Hood, and the others dragged Wilson closer as well. She quickly asked them to keep an eye on Lena to prevent her from falling into the lake.
Then more electric carts arrived one after another with familiar yet naless classmates for Abigail. She greeted them one by one and let them enjoy themselves.
At first, many were a bit reserved, but being young, they soon relaxed. Clear laughter echoed by Moon Lake from ti to ti.
While Housekeeper Piers had the servants watch over everyone’s safety, he also instructed the kitchen staff to prepare various grilled foods.
Jeffrey Foster did not join the activities. Instead, he looked at Abigail. “Are you interested in joining my research lab?”
Abigail had been curious about who signed her up last ti. Later, Sally made Davis Hudson find out that it was Duncan Symons who ssed with it.
But Abigail still had doubts about Jeffrey Foster’s competition reward proposal. She didn’t expect him to ask her directly.
Abigail was surprised and tried to glean sothing from Jeffrey’s eyes, but there was nothing unusual. His handso face was refined, and his eyes were calm and clear. One couldn’t tell this man researched illegal substances and aid to control national and international sports events, including underground fighting.
“I’m just an ordinary student. Isn’t Mr. Foster overestimating ?” Abigail replied with a smile.
“Your abilities are evident to anyone. You shouldn’t undervalue yourself.” Jeffrey wasn’t perturbed by her scrutiny, instead, he spoke sincerely.
“Did you propose the competition’s placent rewards for your personal research lab because of ?” Abigail asked directly, without any reservations.
“Yes.” Jeffrey did not deny it. Given Abigail Green’s background, suddenly inviting her in would stir up a great deal of controversy. But if it was frad as a reward for achieving a competition placent among classmates, it seed more reasonable.
“Are you researching artificial organs in your lab, Mr. Foster?” Since he didn’t hide it, Abigail also asked directly.
“Yes, you have great talent in surgery. I hope you can join us.” Jeffrey’s tone was sincere, without any flaws.
Abigail looked at him. “Dr. Smith joined before, didn’t she?”
“Yes, she was the most talented mber of the research lab.” A hint of gloom flashed in Jeffrey’s eyes ntioning his junior.
Abigail seized the chance to ask, “If Dr. Smith was so talented, why did she die suddenly?”
Jeffrey’s face turned white. He stared blankly at Abigail Green.
