As Dax was chatting with his two sons, Felix and Nadine rushed over. “Grandpa, I’ve got bad news. Infernal Group refuses to let me handle the project,” Felix said. Dax stood up and replied, “How is that possible? Jack called me this morning and invited me over. What happened?”
“We don’t know either. Jack straight up rejected us,” Nadine said. Dax was furious and called Jack immediately. As soon as the call was answered, Jack said, “Dax, I’m sure that your grandkids had told you everything. Let me make things clear, the Monsalt City Village demolition project can only be possessed by Ms. Harrison. If the Harrison family insists on taking over then I’m afraid I’ll have to revoke it on behalf of Infernal Group.”
Jack ended the call after finishing his words. Dax threw his phone on the ground furiously, shattering it to pieces. Everyone around him dared not to speak. After a while, Aaron asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?” Dax took a deep breath and told them everything.
“What did Freya do with the chairman? Why is she the only one that’s qualified to work on the project? Could it be that the chairman is her husband?” Roxanne asked. “That’s nonsense. Freya is with the abandoned son of the Gray family. Besides, do you think the chairman would want a disabled woman?” Aaron replied.
Roxanne was left speechless. “Dad, what do we do now?” Hugo asked. Everyone looked at Dax as if they expected him to have a plan. However, Dax was clenching his fists as his mind was a mess.
“Since Jack said that Freya is the only one that can work on the project, let’s invite her over. We’ll let her work on it to prevent it from getting taken by other groups. Once everything has settled down, we’ll kick Freya out and take over from there,” Eleanor said.
Everyone seemingly agreed with Eleanor’s idea. Dax nodded and gave a thumbs-up. “Which one of you will invite her over?” he asked. No one volunteered as it would be embarrassing. Dax pointed at Aaron and said, “Aaron, you’re the eldest. I’ll leave this to you and your son. Better get a move on.” Aaron had no other choice. He left with his son.
Lucian had prepared a table full of delicacies. Everyone was satisfied with it, Minnie indulged in the food despite not being fond of Lucian. He was feeding Freya attentively as her limbs were paralyzed. It used to be Annie or Minnie feeding her.
Freya blushed as she felt slightly awkward yet happy about it. Frank and Annie could tell that Lucian treats Freya wholeheartedly. They had been searching for a man that could protect Freya and Minnie.
Frank’s phone suddenly rang. He was hesitant to answer it as it was from Aaron. “Who is it?” Annie asked. “It’s Aaron. I’m not answering it since it won’t be good news,” Frank replied. Annie was infuriated upon hearing it. She could not contain her anger towards the Harrison family.
Lucian smiled as he knew that his plan was in motion. “Uncle Frank, you should answer it. Perhaps they want to apologize and let us have the project back,” he said.
Annie frowned and said, “Lucian, are you out of your mind? Aaron is an arrogant man. He would

never apologize. Besides, they went through all that effort to obtain the project. Why would they give back?”
“That’s right. He probably called to mock us,” Freya said frustratedly. “I’ll answer it. Let’s see how he’ll mock us,” Lucian said as he took the phone from Frank. Frank and Annie tried to stop him but he answered the call.
“Frank, where are you all living right now? I have important matters to discuss,” Aaron said anxiously. “Maple Garden, 666 Villa,” Lucian replied and ended the call. “Lucian, are you insane? Why did you tell them that we’re here? He’s going to come here and mock us all!” Annie uttered furiously.
Frank remained silent as he was angry as well. “Dad, Mom, please stop criticizing Lucian. They’re coming over regardless,” Freya said. Annie and Frank listened to Freya despite wanting to vent it on Lucian.
After half an hour, the doorbell rang. Frank took a deep breath and opened the door. Aaron and Felix were astonished as they entered the villa. They had never lived in such a spa cious villa. “Frank, did you win the lottery? How did you all manage to move into such a nic e place?” Aaron asked.
“Did you rob the bank? Perhaps a rare meteor fell from above? Don’t tell me that you’re involved in shady business. You shouldn’t flaunt your wealth obtained through underhanded means, you know,” Aaron continued. He sneered as he was envious.
Sofa
“Cut to the chase,” Annie uttered furiously. “Right. I almost forgot,” Aaron replied. He sat on the sofa and crossed his legs. He continued, “Although you all made my father unhappy in the past, he decided to put that aside and let you all return to the family. Freya will be given the chance to work on the project.
