Angus was shocked, not expecting these words from Janus. “Janus… W-Why are you returning to Hong Kong? That Shawn guy will kill you!”Janus smiled. “Back then, I extended my stay in the United States through illegal means. I’m an illegal immigrant. Now that the police have found me, it won’t be long before they deport me. Even if I don’t want to leave, I don’t have control over my circumstances.” Angus blurted out, “Even so, you can’t just sit here and wait until you’re deported! Why don’t you leave New York and hide somewhere else?”“No need.” Janus shook his hand, indifferent. “I’ve been hiding for two decades. If I continue, I’ll just hate myself more.”After that, he looked at Angus and said seriously, “I’ve always wanted to go back, but I never had the courage. I’ll take this opportunity to return. Consider this something that helped me make a decision.”Angus was nervous. “You can still live if you hide. What if that Shawn guy doesn’t want to let you go? If you go back, you
Afternoon soon came. In order to avoid arriving at the concert at the same time as Keith’s family, Charlie brought Claire to the concert hall ahead of schedule.Many fans had gathered inside and outside the concert venue, waiting anxiously for the concert to begin. It was not admission time yet, so these fans caused a traffic jam at the venue.Fortunately, the venue had a VIP lane with special security personnel in charge of maintaining order outside. Therefore, this place was free from fan disturbance.Charlie informed Quinn’s agent Dorothy about his and Claire’s arrival in advance. As his car arrived at the entrance of the VIP lane, the security allowed them to pass after checking the license plate.The VIP was a tunnel road going downwards. As the car entered the straight road, it would then drive to the stadium’s underground parking. From the entrance, one could see the light on the opposite side. The entrance of the VIP area was in the middle of this passage.The VIP lane wa
“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it,” Dorothy said. “Master Wade has helped us so much. We’re the ones who troubled him.”Then, Dorothy deliberately added, “We must’ve caused a lot of trouble for making Master Wade drop by New York frequently to help with our Feng Shui issues. We’re so sorry to disturb your time together. I hope you don’t mind, Mrs. Wade.”Claire, however, didn’t understand the implication behind Dorothy’s words. “It’s alright, Miss Chan. This is my husband’s job. It’s all within his responsibility.” Dorothy smiled and nodded softly. She had a lot of meaningful things she wished to tell Claire, but she knew she shouldn’t go overboard in Charlie’s presence. Therefore, she stopped before she spoke too much.She said with a smile, “Master Wade, Mrs. Wade. Please come with me. I’ll take you to the VIP room.” Charlie noticed what Dorothy was trying to do, but as she knew when to stop, he let her behavior slide. He only said indifferently, “Thank you, Miss Chan.”“You’r
Charlie knew that Dorothy was implicitly reminding Claire not to go out if possible. As for Charlie, he wouldn’t go out unless necessary in order to avoid meeting the Ackers.Despite that, how could Claire understand Dorothy’s subtle hint? She said almost immediately, “Don’t worry, Miss Chan. We won’t go anywhere.” Dorothy smiled and checked the time. Finally, she said, “Other VIP guests are arriving soon. They’ll be in the room next door. They’ll arrive in ten minutes, and I’ll be attending to them soon. I’ll excuse myself first so I won’t interrupt you two.”Claire nodded. “Sure. Go ahead, Miss Chan. Don’t worry about us.”“Alright.” Dorothy nodded. Before she left, she said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, I’ll be leaving.” After Dorothy left, Charlie sat absentmindedly on the sofa in the living area. The thought of his grandparents arriving in ten minutes made him restless. Claire noticed that something was wrong with him. Charlie was acting strange. She sat beside him and asked wit
At this time, Charlie’s attention was almost entirely focused on his grandparents, who were just separated from him by a wall.He heard Dorothy saying respectfully to his grandmother, “Lady Acker, you don’t have to be so polite with me. You are Quinn’s grandmother, and it is our honor to have you and Lord Acker come to attend Quinn’s concert!”Lady Acker smiled and said, “Nana is now the most famous Oskian celebrity in the world. It is an honor for us to be able to come to her concert.”Lord Acker, who was aside, could not help but sigh as he said, “Miss Golding is indeed the light of the Oskians seeing as she could have such a strong appeal and can even bring her concert to the United States.”Lady Acker chided gently, “Why are you calling her Miss Golding?! She is your future granddaughter-in-law. Don’t refer to her in such a formal manner. Her name is Nana.”Lord Acker laughed heartily and said, “Yes, yes, Honey. You are right to criticize me.”Dorothy could not help but sigh
This also made Charlie a little more cautious. He didn't have to step out of this door as long as the performance was not over.Meanwhile, inside the private room next door.Lord Acker and Lady Acker were sitting on the sofa. Christian and his wife were next to the elderly couple, and Kaeden, Jaxson and his wife, as well as Charlie’s youngest aunt, Lulu, were all sitting opposite them.As for Merlin, he headed straight to the bar and poured himself a glass of whisky. After that, he sat on the long footstool at the bar as he drank by himself.In addition to the four Acker siblings and Charlie’s three uncles and aunts, both of Kaeden’s sons, Jaxson’s eldest daughter, and Lulu’s twelve-year-old daughter had also come together with them tonight.These juniors were all Charlie’s cousins, and they were also Quinn’s fans. Hence, they had followed their family all the way here from Los Angeles. Both of Christian’s daughters liked Quinn very much. However, it was just that his eldest dau
When Christian heard the news, he too became instantly happy, and he smiled brightly as he said, “No wonder you’re f*cking grinning from ear to ear. So, it turns out that you’re going to be a grandfather!”“That’s right!” Merlin said excitedly, “The old ancestors say that family is the closest thing to our heart, and it turns out to be really true! The moment my daughter said that she was pregnant, I do not want to stay in New York for another f*cking minute. I want to fly over tonight and give them a surprise!”Christian laughed and said, “Oh, so you know how to surprise your wife and kid? Not bad, there’s progress!”After saying that, Christian then said, “Alright, don’t waste your time here anymore. I’ll ask the crew to get ready, and you can go to the airport now!”Merlin hurriedly said, “No, no, no. I’ve already agreed to accompany Lord Acker and Lady Acker to watch the concert. I cannot leave as soon as I’ve arrived. I am not in such a hurry to leave, and it will not be too l
He understood the meaning of the old man’s words, and he also agreed with the old man’s concept in his heart.The older generation of Oskians who went abroad to work also wanted to have prosperous families and children. This naturally included Merlin’s father.Although Merlin had five sisters, he was the only male in the family. His wife had been willing to give birth to more children for him, but unfortunately, God had other plans. His wife had encountered a very serious hemorrhage during the birth of his daughter, and the doctor had removed her uterus to save her life.Therefore, Merlin only had one daughter.At this moment, when Lady Acker saw that Merlin, who was a big man, was actually shedding tears, she hurriedly said to Lord Acker, “Sigh! You old-fashioned man! What era is it now? You’re still emphasizing sons over daughters!”After saying that, she hurriedly said to Merlin, “Merlin, don’t listen to your Uncle Acker talk nonsense. This old feudal consciousness should hav
