Chapter 138

“I… I…” He was truly at a loss for words!

Annelise finally saved him, coaxing the old woman in a low voice, “Grandma, he was introduced by the Pennington family. He’s been on our Criford TV station.”

“He’s been on TV!?”

The old woman’s attitude changed in an instant. She looked at Darion, “Then he’s an honored guest. We must treat

him well!”

Darion was now starting to feel grateful that he’d been on TV for the past two days straight.

“There’s no need to treat me, I…”

Annelise cut him off with a smile, “We do need to treat you. I’ll take him out to eat later.”

“Right, you have to take him out to eat.”

People of the old woman’s generation didn’t trust much, but they trusted what was said on TV. “Your Grandpa Pen- nington is still looking out for us.”

Darion: …Pennington?

What Pennington?

Who?

Annelise glanced at him. “The principal has always been like that, as you know. When I was live streaming, he even came to boost my popularity. That’s how Mr. Haney noticed us. He was originally going to invest in the Pennington family. He’s just stopping by our Silverleaf.”

Darion, who had come all the way from Brookford to Criford, immediately nodded. “Right! Just stopping by!”

The old woman was finally relieved and asked Annelise in a low voice, “Your Grandpa Pennington is also cooperat- ing with them?”

“He’ll be there when we sign the contract.”

Annelise’s voice was steady. “Mr. Haney is just here today to get familiar with the place.”

Darion nodded right on cue. “Right! I’m just getting familiar with the place!”

If word of his obedient demeanor got out in the business world, people would suspect he’d undergone a Spirit Posses-

Assistant Bell didn’t even dare to look too closely at his boss’s expression, afraid he’d have nightmares…

The old woman was still on guard. “If you’re really going out to eat, take Lenny with you.”

Darion was wondering who Lenny was.

Just then, a boy in an Apothecary’s Apprentice’s uniform, carrying a Jumbo Woven Carrier Bag on his shoulder, walked over. He lifted his eyes, looked at him, his charming fangs slightly showing.

Darion froze, not daring to breathe. “He… what is he doing here?”

“Him?” The old woman was sharp, her brow furrowed. “Mr. Haney, you know our Lenny ?”

Helping Lenny find his family had always been the old woman’s wish.

The old woman had already made up her mind. If Lenny was truly an abandoned child, she would take this secret to her grave and leave him a house.

If Lenny ‘s parents were also looking for him, she had to send him back quickly!

Seeing this, Annelise looked at Darion, her eyes bottomless and faintly misty.

Darion realized he had misspoken. “I have indeed met this little… this little boy once!”

He was getting bold, daring to call Lurk Cipher a “little boy”!

Darion was truly a businessman, reacting quickly. “He helped me out once. I’ve been looking for him for a long time and never expected to run into him here! Ma’am, it seems I’m truly fated to be with your Silverleaf!”

The old woman was clearly skeptical and asked Lenny, “Did you help him?”

Lenny thought for a moment, nodded, and made a gesture!

The old woman didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, poking his head. “You, you’re really obsessed with money. You helped him, so why are you still thinking about getting paid!”

Lenny looked up with his innocent yet fierce expression, glancing at Darion as if to say, “Shouldn’t I get paid?”
