Chapter 2010: Such a Grand Setup
The next day.
Luther, accompanied by Joyce and the children, boarded South Island. The wedding was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
Guests would be arriving gradually over the next couple of days.
Kane followed Joyce to South Island. Luther had discussed with him last night about the communication surveillance around South Island, including intercepting signals to prevent any outgoing signals from the island.
Today, they arrived early to further enhance security, conducting thorough checks and precautions.
South Island was a not-so-big island, with picturesque landscapes, waves crashing against the rocky shore, creating a rhythmic sound. The island was divided by a meandering stream, the water flowing gently crystal clear and clean pebbles lining the bottom. Sunlight beamed through the leaves, creating a sparkling effect on the stream. It was late autumn, with the arrival of early winter, the small hills were covered with red maple leaves, interspersed with the golden hues of ginkgo trees, a sight to behold.
The wedding venue was the only resort on the island.
Firstly, the resort connected the golden beach and the sea, with a huge lawn in between, where winter wheat grew lushly. At the end of the lawn, stood a grand banquet hall and a sprawling main building, embracing the surroundings with open arms. This area served to welcome VIP guests and host luxurious banquets.
Behind the banquet hall were rows of vacation villas for the guests to stay in.
Joyce and Luther stayed in the closest large villa to the banquet hall. Besides Aaron, there were dozens of bodyguards and four nannies accommodated in one place.
As soon as they arrived on South Island, Anderson followed Kane to set up the security system at the banquet hall.
The control room was located on the top floor of the entire banquet hall, covering a vast space of about 500 square meters, housing dozens of mainframes connecting every corner of the island. There were approximately 30 staff members inside, each diligently monitoring their assigned areas. slalh thi Findlovel.let website on Gøøgll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Anderson was amazed by the grand setup. Compared to what he had experienced before, this was on a whole new level.
"Wow," Anderson exclaimed, "This is way too much, they even have machines to intercept satellite signals."
"Your dad is indeed exaggerated. Just leave the national defense tasks to him in the future," Kane replied with a wry smile. He had heard about Luther's thorough arrangements, but this surpassed his expectations. It seemed like not even a fly could get in undetected.
"So, what do we have to do?" Anderson frowned, "There are so many people, we seem pretty useless here."
"Who said that? Let's familiarize ourselves with all the networks first," Kane pointed at a mainframe, "We'll connect the signal to our devices. In case of any emergency, we can be informed immediately. You'll attend the wedding the day after tomorrow, and I'll stay backstage to watch over."
"But Uncle Kane, aren't you here to attend the wedding too?" Anderson glanced at Kane.
"Well, it's just for the sake of formality. Your safety comes first. We will see each other anyway, no need for unnecessary formalities," Kane said nonchalantly, though deep down, he did mind a bit. Who would willingly watch their goddess marry someone else? Knowing was one thing, witnessing it was another.
Anderson rolled his eyes, "Do you perhaps have a crush on my mom? I suggest you drop that idea. It's impossible."
Kane shook his head, then playfully tapped Anderson's forehead, "You little rascal, watch your words."
"Only speaking the truth," Anderson said as he sat in front of the mainframe, looking surprisingly mature, "Uncle Kane, I felt something was off at home recently. Dad and Mom were always discussing things without telling me. And Dad ramped up security at home, being more attentive to me and my little sister."
Kane was unaware of the situation and looked surprised, "Are you saying something's wrong at home?"
"I can't be sure, but it's definitely not peaceful. I suspect there might be an issue among the nannies taking care of my siblings, as Mom has been solely focused on them lately." Anderson began to explore every corner of South Island with the surveillance and security systems.
"Why didn't you mention this earlier?" Kane scolded, "Such an important matter, and you only bring it up now."
"What would you have done if I did? Implanted trackers on each of them? Can you even do that?" Anderson scoffed, "I think Dad chose to hold the wedding and the full-moon banquet here to catch them off guard."
"No wonder such a huge setup is in place." Kane sighed inwardly, realizing that all was not calm.
It was because Joyce came from a military background and was not like an ordinary person. Luther, as a businessman, was originally not supposed to be involved in national affairs. But now, he had no choice but to be entangled in
them.
"Having money and power means more troubles," Kane muttered, then teasingly poked Anderson's head, "You've been a worrier since you were little."
Anderson gave Kane a sideways glance, "Enough talk, let's get to work."
"Heh, now you're lecturing me?" Kane grumbled but joined Anderson in checking
the network lines.
Inside the vacation villa.
Joyce settled Jane, Mrs. Brown, and Mrs. Powell.
Wilson and Cullen's rooms were ready with all the baby essentials.
Iris helped Joyce pack and take care of her little brother.
Looking around, she curiously asked, "Mom, why didn't Elsa come?"

"Oh, your dad asked her to go back at
the last minute. The family also
needs someone to look after them,"
Joyce replied, "With "With Jane, Mrs m
Brown, and Mrs. Powell taking care of the siblings, it's enough." She had
discussed with Luther earlier that Jane would hold Wilson, Mrs. Powell would carry Cullen, and Mrs. Brown would assist. Once the ceremonies were over, they would immediately send the children back home. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!

Joyce's eyes softened as she reached out to pat Iris's hair, "Iris, you're really
good."
"Where did my big brother go? I saw him leave with Uncle Kane. I'm so bored without him here," Iris pouted, feeling a bit lonely.
Joyce checked the time on her watch; her mother, Cecelia, should be arriving
soon.
With Cecelia looking after the children, Joyce could focus on other matters.
