Rachel, forcing back her excitement, asked Rob tentatively, "Don't you think it's inappropriate for me to join a family dinner?""What's inappropriate about it?" Rob asked, smiling at her. "He suggested it. Just tag along if you have nothing on your plate."Rachel feigned hesitant silence, eventually saying nervously, "A-Alright… But you gotta warn me if there's anything I should worry about beforehand…"Rob found her nervous reaction all adorable, and couldn't resist caressing her cheek while grinning, "There's nothing to worry about. Sure, he's the heir apparent of the Rothschild family, but just pretend he's another uncle."Rachel nodded. "Oh, do you think I have time to change? I have to look a little solemn, at least."Rob smiled and nodded. "Sure. Let's get to the dorms."She nodded and they both headed to the girls' dorms.It was quite a luxurwy accommodation, with each unit being an apartment with two rooms and a common area.Boys were allowed in during daytime, but Rob

But since Julien had put it that way, Rob couldn't refuse even if he wanted to, and braced himself as he replied, "Yes, sir…"Julien chuckled heartily. "Good, then go get prepared now.""Okay…"Rob was confused even as he hung up, but he didn't wait to call his father.After all, Julien was virtually the second-in-command of the family. Whatever his intentions were, Rob had to tell his family first.His father was just as surprised when Rob told him, as his own father Damian had a terrible falling out with Julien before Julien was named heir apparent.Even though Damian now wanted to make peace, Julien wasn't having it. It was therefore confusing that Julien would, for some reason, invite Damian's grandson to dinner, but also an unexpectedly pleasant surprise. This was indeed a bit puzzling, but it was also an unexpected joy for the family. Considering how bad the feud with Damian was, the fact that Julien was now being chummy with Rob at least meant progress.That was why Ro

Before today, Rob wouldn't even dare dream that Julien would invite him to dinner.With how tense things were between Julien and Rob's grandfather, and Harrison eventually naming Julien as his heir, Rob's grandfather kept trying to make peace.But forget dinner—Julien wouldn't even answer his own brother's calls!That was why Rob was so mystified that a kid like him would be invited to dinner by someone this high up in the family. It was just bizarre no matter how one tried to frame it!And amongst his generation, Rob was the most self-aware even though he was not the most successful. There was just nothing about him that stood out, except the halo effect from the Rothschild name. That was why he knew too well that he just wasn't important enough for Julian to take an interest in him.But even if he couldn't guess the reason, Julien extended an invitation, and he definitely couldn't refuse.After all, Julien was the heir apparent—someone like Rob couldn't afford to miss the opp

However, Rob's girlfriend—Rachel Getty—was an outlier.Forget jumping him! The furthest they had gone this far was hugging and holding hands, as she refused to even kiss!Rob initially thought she was just playing hard to get, until he had a private investigator dig into her.The PI certainly went to great lengths too, investigating all of Rachel's records since kindergarten, along with her social circle history since grade school. To everyone's shock, she was simply that chaste and disciplined even as a child. Not only did she excel in all her academic studies, she was also athletic, earning numerous accolades on every stage of her education. On top of that, she never had any romantic connections in the past twenty years, with all her acquaintances insisting she never once held hands with any boy.And when the PI submitted his findings, Rob was utterly entrapped by Rachel's iron discipline and purity.In his mind, there was no way she would have kept up a facade this long even

Meanwhile, Rob was actually playing better thanks to his girlfriend's encouragement, and the practice match soon resumed at the coach's whistle.Smiling at Rob, his girlfriend said, "Run along, champ. Just remember to switch strategy and catch them off guard. I'll be watching and give you a sign when the time is right."Rob nodded emphatically, buoyed.He had long since learned that his girlfriend wasn't just an academic overachiever, but an insightful sports analyst especially in football. Her judgment and understanding could beat even college coaches, and her great advice was also another reason he was so in love with her.And as the second half began, Rob improved considerably.Even Charlie—who didn't know the rules—could see the clear advantage. Suddenly, Rob's team was far more agile along with his team, and they were bold enough to make plays.Through it all, Rob's girlfriend kept making sneaky hints with her hands.The hints helped, as Rob could now adjust his plays with

Charlie pressed, "Anything else?""Nothing much?" Julien said after some thought. "They are based in California, so I don't speak with them much.""And are there any specific requirements to marry a scion of your family's primary lineage?""Why, yes," Julien replied. "The main qualifications for marriage partners of Rothschilds from the main branch are naturally lineage, wealth, and influence. Moreover, their family history has to be flawless for a couple of centuries. But the further the Rothschild is from the line of succession; the requirements are somewhat relaxed."Charlie nodded. "So you and your immediate family members stand in the line of succession, but your brother Damian does not?""Of course!" Julien quickly replied. "I have yet to succeed my father, but when I do, Damian's lineage will be reduced to a collateral family despite still bearing the Rothschild name. It's like when my own heir succeeds me, while my other children are disenfranchised. Charlie then asked,

Just once I wish there was more than two chapters

Before your writing go's haywire, keep this in mind. Higher ups here do not go around slapping those under them. We have a police union that will take that "Chiefs" job if he puts hands on any officer. So please leave that slapping nonsense out of this chapter.
Why does everyone sound Oskian? I read this problem when Charlie went to Northern Europe. The correct dialect would make this book so much better.
The writer needs to understand, no one would be in the lobby celibateing or eating. Elaine asked for a lawyer and even Charlie told her not to say anything without her lawyer present. Once you ask for a lawyer, they would be jeopardizing their case if they took her statement without her lawyer there
sick of just 2 chapters daily
I’m in too much money to stop.
Linda, you're so right. yesterday's author is better anyway. What a waste again. Two chapters just to get the lawyer in the door. Nonsense!! I can't wait to be done with this crap! I honestly might just stop reading until next year summer time.
This author knows nothing about the American Justice system nor police procedure. No statement would be taken from someone who had asked for a lawyer until the lawyer arrived. There would be no celebration in the lobby; they have break rooms, and no professionals would celebrate anyway.
Charlie with 10,000 Army can find anyone they don't need the name as they certainly have several Alias, and they can use that..he knows what they look like..I bet they will move heaven and earth in search for a rejuvenation pill..haha.. I would! haha
