Chapter: 1578
"Well then, so be it! I've been subdued by that woman for nearly two decades. If these younger women can muster the courage, why can't I?

Blast it! I won't fall short of the expectations set for me by those who have passed."

With these words, Canaan followed in Julie's and Isla's footsteps.

The Jenkins estate boasted a prominent avenue leading directly from its main entrance.

At the avenue's conclusion was a bustling square, where the crowd had congregated. A striking red carpet lay undisturbed, seemingly reserved for Barbara's impending arrival.

Doris said to the crowd, "May I have your attention, please? Barbara will arrive shortly. As her car halts, we shall all chant ‘Congratulations on passing your exam' followed by ‘The Jenkins family is graced by your achievement.' This directive comes from Mrs. Jenkins herself. Do you all hear?"

"ER?"

"Um... Okay."

"Understood"

Notably, the majority present were not merely servants but bona fide members of the Jenkins Lineage.

While offering Barbara congratulations was a straightforward affair, declaring the Jenkins family is graced by her achievement felt a bit off.

After all, Barbara wasn't really part of the Jenkins family.

This proclamation left many family members feeling uneasy. Yet, they felt cornered.

In the realm of martial arts, venerable households esteemed both familial loyalty and deference.

Within the Jenkins family, Mrs. Jenkins’ word was law, her position unparalleled in both respect and authority. Who would dare defy her?

Suddenly, a chopper's drone punctured the air. Drawing nearer, a helicopter made its approach, heading straight for the square within the Jenkins manor.

“Why is there a helicopter? Do they not realize this is the private domain of the Jenkins family? Where's our chief of security? Get to the bottom of this immediately!" Doris exclaimed angrily.

The security head, already in communication with the chopper's pilot, responded, "Rest assured. I've checked. It's dispatched by the Pill Alchemist Association. They claim to be sending the new member of the association back."

Doris wrinkled her brow in confusion.

“Wait, isn't my husband who brought Barbara home?"

Then she seemed to grasp the situation. Barbara had successfully passed the Pill Alchemist Association's exam. Perhaps this special helicopter transport was an added perk.

Such a gesture could be deemed quite prestigious.

As the helicopter's blades cut through the air, it made a graceful landing on the vibrant red carpet.

Doris, catching sight of Canaan, Julie, and Isla from the corner of her eye, gave them a purposeful sneer filled with contempt.
