The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Chapter 79: On the Eve of Leaving Hollis Manor

Thus, Zhou Yanhuan skillfully employed her acting skills, feigning a heartbroken and tearful appearance. And what about Grandma Vanessa? Seeing this, she stopped pressing for the child's biological father.

Moreover, this wise and dignified old lady explicitly forbade her eldest son and daughter-in-law from inquiring about the identity of the child's father from Zhou Yanhuan.

Even though everyone was filled with curiosity, since the old lady had spoken, they could only obediently comply and refrain from asking any more questions. After all, all they needed to know was that the child's biological mother was Zhou Yanhuan.

It must be said that Vanessa's actions truly solved a lot of troubles for Zhou Yanhuan.

Time flies like an arrow, and Zhou Yanhuan spends two seemingly ordinary yet incredibly warm days with Vanessa every day.

They might paint together, creating exquisite works of art; or dance gracefully to melodious tunes, enjoying a moment of tranquility and joy. Day after day, life may be simple, but the warmth and love it contains are profound and enduring.

However, for Zhou Yanhuan, who had been under a high degree of stress during this period, the two days felt like a pleasant and leisurely time.

As night fell, a unique sound filled the air, like the soft whispers of a gentle breeze and drifting clouds rubbing against each other.

This subtle sound did not break the stillness of the night; instead, it accentuated the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. The streetlights emitted a faint, soft white light, illuminating only a small area, while the distance was swallowed by endless, deep darkness. The moon was hidden behind a thick, fog-like layer of clouds, its glow ethereal and enigmatic.

Inside the Hollis estate, Zhou Yanhuan had just finished carefully wrapping the gifts given to her by her great-grandmother Vanessa, her great-grandfather, her great-grandmother, and all her uncles, elders, and brothers.

Zhou Yanhuan stared at the mountain of gifts before her, feeling a sense of helplessness. There were simply too many gifts to put anywhere. Some were for the children, some were for herself, and some were even intended for Jia Yue and her friends. Looking at this overflowing pile of gifts, Zhou Yanhuan felt both troubled and deeply moved.

After some thought, Zhou Yanhuan decisively dialed Karolide's number.

Time seemed to stand still, each second feeling incredibly long and unbearable. The minute hand moved slowly, and finally, ten minutes had passed. Just then, a figure quietly appeared before Zhou Yanhuan—it was Karolide.

Karolide approached with steady steps, her face filled with utmost respect, and asked softly, "Your Highness, it is late at night. Is there anything you wish to instruct me to do?"

Zhou Yanhuan frowned slightly, her gaze complex as she looked at the neatly arranged clothes, gifts, and exquisite gift boxes on the ground. A slightly helpless smile appeared on her lips. She raised her hand and gently waved, pointing to the items, saying, "Karolide, work overtime tonight. Immediately arrange for someone to move all these gifts and gift boxes to my private jet. Be quick, but also careful not to damage anything."

Upon hearing this, Karolide obediently looked in the direction Zhou Yanhuan pointed. His gaze swept over the dazzling array of gifts, but he felt no surprise or astonishment whatsoever. After all, he had long been accustomed to such scenes.

As a member of the Hollis, an ancient noble family with a history spanning centuries in the Jade Continent, he was well aware of the family's extravagance and pomp. Receiving countless precious gifts from all over the world every year was commonplace for them.

Even so, Karolide maintains a high level of focus and professionalism, treating each gift with the utmost care, as if it were a rare treasure.

Also the maternal family of Prince Carlos, speaking of this, we must mention that after Prince Carlos married into the royal family and found his mother, the entire Hollis family strongly opposed it and demanded that the newlyweds divorce.

Everyone watched as Her Majesty the Queen, then Crown Princess, and her new husband, Prince Carlos, were likely to part ways for this very reason.

At this very moment, Vanessa and Prince Carlos's brother expressed great support for the marriage.

Especially Vanessa, who dared to openly confront the entire family for the sake of her youngest son.

Finally, after many difficult negotiations, a compromise was proposed—the descendants of Prince Carlos could have multiple surnames at the same time, thus successfully avoiding the fate of the Crown Princess and Prince Carlos parting ways.

However, unexpectedly, Prince Carlos's descendants adopted a completely different surname—not Hollis, but "Zhou," another surname originating from China, which was inherited from Vanessa.

In fact, Vanessa's decision to let her youngest son inherit her Chinese surname had a hidden selfish motive.

This wise and loving mother wholeheartedly hoped that her youngest son could find true happiness and avoid being forced to separate from his beloved.

At the same time, she also did not want to see her youngest son bear the heavy so-called family responsibility because of his surname, lest he become a tool for the family to seek benefits in this marriage, thereby losing himself and his original intentions.

It was with this in mind that Vanessa resolutely decided to let all her sons inherit her Chinese surname.

Since then, every child in the Nore Lancaster royal family and the Hollis family has had two unique names.

These names shine like brilliant stars, witnessing the evolution of the two families' histories and the fusion of their cultures.

They carry the earnest expectations and best wishes of elders for the next generation, becoming a link between the past and the future, and passing on the family's glory and mission.

It is quite peculiar that these two families have many children, but very few girls.

Even more remarkably, by the third generation, only two girls had been born.

This is why the lovely and charming Queen Camilia Ristratton and the noble Princess Catherine became the apple of the eye of both families, who spared no effort to protect and cherish them.

In everyone's hearts, Princess Catherine is the most beloved princess.

Faced with the mountain of gifts and gift boxes in front of her, Karolide showed no surprise whatsoever, as if she had long been accustomed to it.

He replied respectfully to Zhou Yanhuan, "Yes, Your Highness. I will arrange for someone to handle this matter later, and all these gifts will be moved to the private jet tonight." His words revealed his composure and competence.

After hearing Karolide's words, Zhou Yanhuan smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly in agreement. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard light footsteps approaching. Then, a neatly dressed, dignified middle-aged woman of mixed race appeared in the doorway. This woman was Vanessa's personal maid.

She bowed slightly to Zhou Yanhuan and said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Highness. The old lady requests that Your Highness come to her room for a chat." Upon hearing that it was her great-grandmother who wanted to see her, Zhou Yanhuan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly replied, "Please get up quickly. Auntie, may I ask what Great-grandmother wants to see me about?"

The maid straightened up and slowly lowered her hands, which had been raised in greeting, but still dared not look Zhou Yanhuan in the eye. She maintained a respectful posture as she replied, "Your Highness, I really don't know the details. The old lady didn't mention anything specific, only instructing you to go see her."

Hearing this, Liu Yan sighed and said helplessly, "Since that's how it is, then so be it. It seems I have to go. Perhaps Great-Grandma really has something important to tell me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yanhuan ignored Karolide and turned to leave with the maid without hesitation.

She didn't feel much attachment to this study, after all, it wasn't her personal bedroom, and Karolide didn't seem very important or important in this room.

After Zhou Yanhuan left, Karolide quickly took out his phone and dialed a number to urgently contact people to come and move the exquisite gifts and elegant gift boxes. He secretly thought to himself that he must ensure that these precious items could be delivered to their destination safely and smoothly.

Time ticked by, and Karolide waited anxiously, pacing back and forth, her eyes fixed on the door, hoping her helpers would appear as soon as possible.

Finally, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and a look of joy appeared on Karolide's face. He knew that the person he had been waiting for had arrived...
