“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
After ten seconds of absolute darkness, the stage lights would light up in an instant, and dozens of beams of light would be directed at the top of the stage. At that time, Quinn, who would be wearing sci-fi armor, would fall from the sky using her song called ‘From the Future’ to make an absolutely shocking and perfect opening for the concert.However, at this moment, when people saw a Star Wars video when the video had just started to play, everyone was a little confused.When Lord Acker saw that the concert was about to start, he hurriedly said to Merlin, “Merlin, don’t waste time with me here. Go back and accompany your wife and children!”After saying that, he looked at Christian and instructed, “Christian, ask the crew to prepare everything at the airport and tell the driver to take Merlin to the airport!”Christian nodded and said to Merlin, “Merlin, hurry up and go to accompany your family. Don’t go anywhere until the child is born.”“Okay!” Merlin knew that Lord Acker was
The moment Merlin fell to the ground, not one of the people in the elevator spared Merlin another glance.One of them saw Merlin’s dead face, and he blurted out through the intercom system in his helmet, “Boss, this man seems to be the detective from the New York Police Department, Merlin Lammy!”The man who was at the lead said contemptuously, “So what if he’s Merlin Lammy? In my opinion, he’s nothing great at all.”After saying that, he ordered, “Everyone, get into your battle formation. Remember our purpose and do not leave anyone alive!”The other twenty or so men could all hear the boss’s voice very clearly because they were all wearing active noise-canceling headphones. So, they held their guns up in their right hands and raised their index and middle finger to the side of their temples with their left hands.This gesture meant that they had received the order. Immediately after that, more than twenty people walked out of the four elevators immediately at the same time and
