Dark Lord Seduction System: Taming Wives, Daughters, Aunts, and CEOs

Chapter 330: Update on the Mission

I watched the maternal takeover unfold with growing amusement—and yeah, maybe a little jealousy. "Uh, hello? I’m the one who just got back from saving the day. Where’s my parade of excessive maternal concern?"

Mom hit me with that patented ’you’re a moron’ look. "Peter, you’re almost seventeen, apparently worth millions, and you can charter private jets like they’re Ubers. These girls need taking care of. You? You need a reality check."

"Wow," I muttered. "Charlotte’s been part of the family for like—what, two weeks? —and you’re already treating her better than your actual son. I feel so seen right now."

"That’s because Charlotte doesn’t vanish to Miami and give me panic attacks," Mom said, laughing. "Besides, she bought me this gorgeous car. What have you done for me lately?"

"Funny you should ask," I said, unable to stop the grin crawling up my face. "Actually, Mom, I finished paying off that mansion today. It’s officially yours. Deed’s in Linda Carter’s name, completely paid off. No strings attached."

"Peter... what?"

I shrugged like it was no big deal, even though my heart was hammering. "The mansion. It’s yours. No mortgage. No conditions. You own it."

"You’re kidding, right?"

"No. The mansion. Your dream house. It’s yours. No mortgage, no conditions, no strings attached." I couldn’t keep the grin off my face. "So maybe now you can give me a little more love than these two freeloaders who’ve only been family for two weeks?"

Her hands were shaking so badly she had to pull over, throw the car in park, and turn to stare at me like I’d just confessed to murder.

"Peter Carter. What did you do?"

"I bought my mom a house. Is that a crime now?"
