“I said, since she wants it, give it to her,” Justin repeated his words for Frankie.
“Burton Group’s n to buy Hudson Pharmaceuticals will end here. Tomorrow morning, inform the
team in charge and tell them that the team is dismissed.” “President Burton, do you want to think it
through first?”
“There’s no need.” After Frankie heard that, his jaws dropped. Losing Hudson Pharmaceuticals was
quite a big matter for the Burton Group as it had been nned for a few years. Besides that, the
pharmaceutical products that were about to beunched by the Hudsons might y a big role in the
future market.
Nheless, Justin actually handed everything over with one simple sentence. Hence, Frankie felt that
he must be in a dream.
…
Three dayster, it was Saturday. The Bilingual Elementary’s students embarked on their outdoor
camping activity from Riverdale.
Early in the morning, Rachel brought the two children to meet up with the other parents at the school’s
entrance. After getting onto the big bus, it took around 3 hours before they reached Astoria’s Cloudy
Mountain Hignd.
“Later on, we’ll be forming a tent for each family. There will be a teacher to guide you as you pitch your
respective tents. If it’s any parent’s first time joining our camping activity, questions are always
weed. Okay, we’ll dismiss and take a break.”
After the leading teacher announced the dismissal, all families that were standing in front of the bus
spread out.
Rachel, who was with Samuel and Charlotte, was staring at the tent feeling flustered. Scratching the
back of his head, Samuel said, “Mommy, the three of us can’t pitch a tent.”
Rachel said, “It’s alright, let me try.” After that, she pulled out the guide that was inside a bag that was
filled with tent-pitching tools. The moment she saw the instructions, she already felt like giving up
before she had even started. She then admitted, “It seems that it’s really quite hard.”
However, Charlotte asserted, “Mommy, the guide isn’t hard. The three of us just don’t have the strength
to support the tent. The frame is very heavy, and both Samuel and I can’t move it.”
Rachel couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when Charlotte said that the guide wasn’t difficult. After all,
both the children were talented smart kids. In some aspects, Rachel could only admit that she was not
good enough. After scrutinizing the frame and itsponents, she was a little dispirited. “It’s pretty
heavy indeed.”
“Rachel!” A familiar voice could be hearding from behind. “Let me help you!”
Turning back, she could see Victor making his way toward them. She felt that she was seeing a savior
as she almost teared up. “Victor!”
Meanwhile, Victor’s appearance made Samuel and Charlotte give each other a look. Crap, we forgot
that Mr. Wade is also tagging along. This is going to affect our initial n.

Giving Charlotte a look, Samuel asked sotto voce, “What do we do now?”
Charlotte quickly started to brainstorm. “Don’t panic, I’ll figure something out.”
“It’s toote.” Samuel nced behind Rachel before saying, “He’s here.”
With a low growl, a ck jeep came to a stop by a river that was just a stone’s throw away from their
campsite.
At this moment, Rachel had yet to notice anything. Nheless, Victor, who was one of the leading
teachers, was rmed. At once, he put down the things in his hands before marching over.
“Victor, this isn’t done yet…”
Following the direction he was heading, she saw a familiar figure exiting the jeep before closing the
door. The string of actions was not done subtly, earning the attention of some parents. At once, she
quickly tossed the things in her hands and rushed up.
“You sc*m! Why are you here?” Victor clutched on Justin’s cor as he roared.
At that moment, the word ‘sc*m’ had earned the attention of all the parents and children at the
campsite.
Initially, Justin was going to brush Victor off, but he quickly raised his hand to exin when he saw
Racheling toward them. “I didn’t do anything. This time, you better see it clearly. He’s the one who
started it, and I didn’t even lift a finger.”
Not bothering to talk nonsense with him, she immediately held onto Victor and broke the two up.
“Victor!”
“Rachel, don’t stop me! This sc*mbag is always everywhere. Look! He’s even here now!”
“Many parents and kids are watching. Do you not want to be a teacher anymore?”
“I don’t care!”
“Nonsense!” She was so panicked that she was on the verge of pping Victor for his bad temper.
After finally turning over a new leaf, he managed to be a teacher. If they were to fight, he would
lose his job. It was just not worth it.
At this moment, a p was sent straight to the back of Victor’s head, causing him to cover it in pain.
“Rachel!”
Turning to look at Justin, she asked, “Care to exin? Didn’t you go on a business trip? Why are you
here?” Was his business trip so coincidentally happened to be in Cloudy Mountain Hignd?
Justin then exined, “The business trip ended sooner than expected. As Charlotte’s father, I have the
responsibility to join her school activity with her. Isn’t the goal of this activity to improve the rtionship
between the child and their parents?”
Hearing that, she couldn’t find any words to refute. Since he was Charlotte’s father, he had the right to
join the activity. However, if she knew earlier that he would be here, she wouldn’t have even considered
coming.
“Mr. Wade, don’t you think so?” Justin was even provoking him now.
With his brows furrowed, Victor was about to attack Justin again, but he was stopped by Rachel’s firm
grip. “Victor, the tent has not sessfully been pitched yet. Let’s go. Don’t fight with him. It’s not worth
putting your future at stake for this.” With that, she tugged on Victor before they left together.
Sending Justin a dead re, Victor didn’t forget to point at him as a sign to warn him to keep his
distance. After that, he unwillingly followed Rachel to retreat.
To be frank, it didn’t bother Justin one bit. After all, he didn’t care about anything said by anyone other
than Rachel.
Meanwhile, Rachel and Victor were squatting before the tent as they continued to pitch it.
“Daddy!”
At this moment, Charlotte ran into Justin’s arms before he picked her up. “Did you miss me?”
“I did.” As she said that, she gave his cheek a kiss.
On the other hand, Rachel and Victor were ignoring his presence while they continued to discuss and
set up the tent. Not only that, even Charlotte, who was in his arms, was also getting ignored.
After being in an embrace for a moment, Charlotte contemted for a moment before she whispered
something in his ear. Following that, Justin nodded in response before putting her back down.
At this moment, Charlotte gave Samuel a look as a cue before the two of them ran away from the
campsite. However, Rachel and Victor didn’t seem to have noticed that the kids were running off.
“This should be here.”
With a frame in her hands, Rachel pointed at the guide in Victor’s hand before she gestured something.
“It should be connected to here.”
“I think it’s here.”
The duo were both newbies to building a tent. As Victor had just started working at The Bilingual
Elementary not long ago, it was his first time joining this activity. Hence, he wasn’t much better at
pitching the tentpared to Rachel.
“It should be here. Join it together with this.” A voice of a man could be hearding from behind.
At the same time, the frame that she was holding was suddenly taken away as Justin fixed the frame
without much of a struggle in front of the two. It didn’t take long before a side of the tent was already
set. “Now, nail this piece to the ground.”
