“Confiscated?” Elaine got anxious upon hearing this, angrily saying, “How novel, confiscating my phone on a cruise. What do they think they are? Don’t they know the customer is God?”
Claire Wilson explained bit by bit, “Dad, Mum, we… this time we’re not on a cruise…”
“Not a cruise?” Jacob Wilson said puzzled, “Claire, you’ve got Dad all confused. Didn’t you say we’re taking a cruise to Tahiti? If not a cruise, then what is it?”
Claire Wilson said, “This time we’re on a cargo ship. The cargo ship is indeed taking us towards Tahiti, but we’re not going to Tahiti Island. It’s one of the islands in that archipelago.”
Elaine said somewhat impatiently, “We don’t care which island we’re going to. Confiscating our phones is still inappropriate, right? What kind of service provider is this?”
Claire Wilson pursed her lips looking at the two, one hand uneasily picking at the nails of the other hand, and said in a low voice, “Dad, Mum, this time we’re leaving, and we won’t go back.”
“Won’t go back?” The couple was even more puzzled.
Elaine sat up from the bed, anxiously asking, “Claire, what exactly is wrong with you? Why are you speaking in riddles and so confusingly today? If you weren’t my daughter, I’d think you were trafficking us.”
Claire Wilson made up her mind and said frankly, “Dad, Mum, this time we’re going to the South Pacific, and in the future, we won’t return to Aurous Hill, or even to China. You can’t have any contact with relatives and friends in China anymore. In other words, we have to evaporate from the human world in China, so that no one can find us.”
“Why?” Elaine got anxious, blurting out, “We haven’t committed any crime or broken any law. Why do we need to evaporate?”
After saying that, she suddenly widened her eyes. “Oh, Claire! Did Charlie wade get into trouble reading feng shui for others outside? Could it be… could it be that he offended some big shot?”
Claire Wilson’s expression suddenly became somewhat stunned. She hadn’t expected her mother to think in this direction.
And Jacob Wilson beside her also seemed influenced by Elaine, immediately saying, “Oh! I’ve said long ago that Charlie wade isn’t cut out for that. When he first married into our family, he couldn’t even make a decent meal. Suddenly one day he became a feng shui master. I asked him where he learned it, and he was vague, saying it was from TV or some book bought from a roadside stall. This… if he could really do it well, there must be ghosts! Isn’t it just relying on glib tongue to cheat money? Cheating a little might get away with it, but cheating a lot will eventually blow up!”
Elaine also sighed worriedly, “Yes! The key is he cheats money, but his appetite is extraordinarily big. That Wang family sent him a villa worth over a hundred million, and he really dared to accept it? Every time he reads feng shui for someone, it’s millions or tens of millions. If there’s no effect, that’s still a small matter. What if he makes it worse by accident, harming someone’s business or causing family ruin and death? Then they won’t spare him?”
Speaking of this, Elaine became even more excited, clapping her hands and sighing regretfully, “And that Hong Wu, he’s a figure in society, spending his life fighting and killing. What good can he be? Don’t look at him flattering Charlie wade every day. Isn’t it still because Charlie wade has some use value?”
“He always asks Charlie wade to read feng shui for his friends. In my opinion, that’s just taking a cut in the middle, treating Charlie wade like a beast of burden!”
“Just take the last time going to the west to read feng shui for that mine boss. Maybe Charlie wade goes once, Hong Wu asks for ten or twenty million from them, then gives a few million to dismiss Charlie wade. Although Charlie wade gets the smaller share, the responsibility is one hundred percent his. If something happens at the mine, they will definitely settle accounts with Charlie wade!”
Jacob Wilson
Elaine said, her emotions becoming more and more agitated. She said to Jacob Wilson, “Look at our daughter’s eyes, red and swollen. While we were sleeping, who knows how many times she cried. It must be as I said!”
With that, she looked at Claire Wilson, nervously asking, “Claire, tell Mum the truth. Has Charlie wade really blown up?”
Claire Wilson originally wanted to confess to her parents about Charlie wade’s identity, as well as the situation Charlie wade was currently facing.
But she was also worried in her heart. Her mother was obsessed with money, her father addicted to power. If they knew Charlie wade’s true identity, that he was the young master of the Wade family, and the grandson of the An family, how could they be willing to leave this golden son-in-law?
Even if she told them that Charlie wade was facing his parents’ killers, with their personalities, they probably wouldn’t care at all.
After all, the danger was only potential, while money and power were real.
What if her parents were unwilling to accept her decision to leave Charlie wade, and then tried every means to contact Charlie wade, racking their brains to make Charlie wade reconcile with her.
However, if she made them think that Charlie wade had really blown up?
In that case, with their personalities, they would probably avoid him like the plague.
Not to mention them secretly going to find Charlie wade, even if Charlie wade found them, they would probably keep their distance.
Thinking of this, she instantly changed her decision and said, “Mum, everything you guessed is right…”
