The next morning dawned bright and early.
Kari was up with the sun, sharing a hearty breakfast of pancakes and bacon with Ronald before they set off for a visit to the Lynette family estate in Craneville.
The Lynette family was a household name worldwide, synonymous with wealth and prestige.
And Brittany was the chosen heiress.
Stepping into the Lynette estate, even someone as worldly as Kari couldn't help but be taken aback by the grandeur that greeted her.
It wasn't just the opulence that money could buy but a profound sense of heritage that seemed to permeate every corner.
The garden was a sea of roses, with the mansion standing majestically amidst them, its luxury almost tangible.
The butler greeted them promptly, "Ms. Malone?"
"Yes."
"This way, please—"
As Ronald followed Kari into the Lynette mansion, they were met by Brittany in the living room, which boasted an impressive ten-meter-high ceiling.
"Kari."
"Brittany—"
Kari rushed forward and embraced Brittany tightly, "How have you been? I heard you've been under the weather, so I came as soon as I could."
Brittany had lost some of her memories but still recognized Kari.
The concern Kari showed warmed Brittany's heart.
"Kari, thank you for coming."
After a long hug, Brittany stepped back, "How long do you plan to stay in Craneville?"
"About a week or so," Kari answered truthfully.
Brittany nodded, and the butler brought over some hot coffee.
