Watch Your Step

Normally, people would build a garden around the house to create a vigorous ambience.

However, the Peckers planted an evergreen camphor tree in the middle of the yard. After many years, the tree had been rooted dozens of meters underground. It looked magnificent and its canopy expanded. The leafy tree was taller than the main part of the house, even as tall as the attic. The tree rustled in the breeze in autumn.

When Emily was inside, she saw the word Pecker carved on the door's tablet, and then the tree. Subsequently, a group of servants rushed out and said respectfully, "Mr. Vincent, nice to meet you. Come in, please."

Although the servants were surprised when they saw Emily, they became even more respectful, "Hello, Miss. May I have your name?"

Emily nodded at them, "Hi."
