She couldn’t help walking over to Alan, snuggling gently into his arms. Gazing up at the twinkling stars scattered across the sky, she said with a look of pure happiness, After the New Year, it’ll be our fourth year of marriage.Yeah. Alan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Four years already. Time really flies.Does it feel fast? Mia said earnestly. To me, time hasn’t passed quickly at all. So many things have happened in these four years, and you’ve changed more than anyone.Alan scratched the tip of his nose. Oh? Have I changed?Mia nodded. Of course you have! Your whole demeanor, aura, and bearing are completely different from when we first got married.She murmured softly, It’s strange though. When I think about it, the changes are huge… yet at the same time, it all feels so natural. It’s as if you were always meant to be this way.Alan let out a soft sigh and said to her, By the way, honey. The feng shui consultation trip to Neon City is all set. I’m leaving tomorrow morning.

Luckily, he had run into Juliet again at just the right time. If their reunion had waited until after Omba passed away from his severe illness, there would have been nothing he could do to save him.He then comforted her gently, Don’t worry too much about this. I’ll sort everything out for you once I arrive.Juliet said in a choked voice, Thank you, Brother Alan. Just having you come to see Dad will make him so happy!Not wanting to talk too much and risk Caroline beside him catching any important details from the conversation, Alan said, I’ll let you go for now. The plane is about to take off, and we need to turn off our phones.Juliet replied quickly, Alright, Brother Alan. I’ll wait for you in Neon City!After Alan hung up the call, Caroline beside him couldn’t help but smile and tease, You’re really something now, Alan. No wonder everyone calls you Master Alan. From the way you were talking just now, it sounds like someone’s waiting for you to rush over and save the day!Alan gave

Huh?The husband and wife were both stunned speechless the moment they heard this.Alan looked equally awkward and said earnestly, I’m so sorry, Uncle Omba, Aunt Nancy. I’ve let Juliet down, and I’ve failed the engagement arrangement made between your family and my parents all those years ago.Omba sighed, patted Alan on the shoulder, and said solemnly, Alan, I don’t know everything you’ve been through these years, but I can tell you’ve had an extremely tough time. You were only eight when you were forced to wander alone in the world. You must have had no say in many things. Let’s put the engagement aside for now. Tell me in detail how you survived all these years.That’s right, Nancy chimed in with a nod. We can take our time to talk about the engagement later. Let’s sit down and have lunch first, chat while we eat.Omba took Alan by the hand and seated him beside his own chair.As soon as they sat down, he warmly urged Alan, Alan, let’s eat first. See if the food here suits your tas

Davidson curled his lip, sized Nancy up and down, and said with undisguised contempt, Sister-in-law, of course I know you’re married to my eldest brother. But have you ever fulfilled the duties a wife ought to?Omba struggled to his feet and rebuked him sharply, Davidson, how dare you speak to your sister-in-law like that?Davidson let out a cold laugh. Eldest brother, don’t forget she’s always been an outsider in the Austin family. What’s more, as the wife of the Austin family’s eldest son, she failed to give the family a eldest grandson. When our parents passed away, they didn’t even have a grandson to send them off. She’s nothing short of a sinner to the Austin clan!At these words, Nancy’s face turned ghastly pale, filled with grievance and hurt.Beside her, Omba trembled all over with rage. He grabbed a bone china bowl and smashed it hard onto the floor. The bowl shattered into pieces right at Davidson’s feet.He then roared angrily, Davidson! Don’t make trouble out of this! Your

Alan could no longer contain his fury. He fixed his gaze on Davidson and asked in a cold voice, Are you saying that if Uncle Omba refuses to agree, you’ll harm the three of them?Davidson no longer bothered to keep up his pretense. He spoke with arrogance and malice. Boy, no matter who you are, you have no right to speak here. I have important business to settle today, so I’ll spare your life for now — but only for one day. If you’re still alive this time tomorrow, then all these years I’ve lived as Davidson have been for nothing!With that, he turned straight to Omba and said coldly, Eldest Brother, since we’ve laid everything on the table, I’ll no longer beat around the bush. I am getting eighty percent of the family assets today. Otherwise, don’t blame Third Brother and me for casting aside our brotherly bond!Orwell chimed in aggressively, Eldest Brother, you’re already a dying man. Why keep being so stubborn? You’ll be gone soon enough, but your wife and daughter still have long
