Chapter 1004


    “This must be the eldest son of the Hamertons, right?”


    Melvin suddenly turned his gaze toward Zuko at the dining table.


    Zuko paused and looked back at him.


    It was worth mentioning that Melvin also belonged to the category who aged well. Despite reaching


    middle age, he did not show any sign of that. On the contrary, he looked even more energetic than a


    young man.


    He also looked good. He bore a striking resemnce to Nichs, and anyone could tell at first nce


    that they were cousins from the same lineage.


    Zuko frowned and nced at the nearby Pam, feeling something was off.


    “Zuko, Uncle Melvin’s talking to you!” Cordelia reminded him in a low voice. “Since you call Nichs’


    Uncle Nichs’, just call him Uncle Melvin.”


    Zuko nodded slightly, politely acknowledging it.


    Melvin smiled and praised him. “The children of the Hamertons are all outstanding, truly exceptional!”


    “Mr. Melvin, you’re too kind.” Cordelia chuckled. “My eldest son is great in every way, except he doesn’t


    like talking much. Please don’t mind him.”


    “Don’t worry about it. They say silence is golden, and only lucky ones speak slowly, right?”


    Cordelia and Zephyr exchanged a nce and gently curled their lips. They had a feeling that Melvin


    was more shrewd than Nichs because thetter would never resort to such ttery.


    A few rounds of drinkster, Melvin put his hand on Nichs’ shoulder and began to reminisce about


    their chaotic childhood. However, he suddenly changed the topic and smiled with a squint. “Nichs, I


    remember you once said that if I found you your daughter, you’d use 1/3 of Sol Entertainment to thank


    me, right?”


    Nichs’ face was red from drinking, and he was intoxicated, almost agreeing to it without thinking.


    Zephyr anxiously watched this unfold and viciously kicked Nichs’ leg under the table while ring at


    him, yet the guy did not react at all.


    Zuko suddenly spoke, smirking. “Uncle Melvin, are you joking, or are you being serious?”


    Melvin looked over as he replied, “Zuko, this is an agreement between me and my cousin. It’s none of


    your business. Ha, have some more dishes!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated

    “Uncle Melvin, what you said isn’t right.” Zuko put down his cutlery and looked at Melvin directly. “Sol


    Entertainment and the Hamertons’ Imperial Media are evenly matched in show business in recent


    years. We don’t want to create apetitive rtionship. Working together for mutual benefit can let


    us go further.


    “So, Imperial Media injected a certain amount of capital into Sol Entertainment five years ago, acquiring


    a 10% stake. It’s not much, but there are shares of the Hamertons within Sol Entertainment.


    “I don’t care how you want to get this 1/3 share, Uncle Melvin, but before you do it, shouldn’t you


    separate the Hamertons’ money first?”


    At that point, Zuko sneered. “Besides, Sol Entertainment is Uncle Nichs’ empire he worked hand


    and foot for. You probably have no idea how many hardships he has been through. Why didn’t I see


    you stepping forward to help Uncle Nichs when he faced difficulties?”


    Melvin’s expression stiffened, and his eyes darted around.


    He reevaluated Zuko. It seemed that he had underestimated this young heir. He thought that being in


    his mid-20s and born with a silver spoon, Zuko was sheltered and ignorant of the world. Melvin never


    expected him to say such words in front of his elders!


    Zephyr watched his son with a pleased smile and smoothly brought the conversation to a close. “Mr.


    Melvin, please don’t take offense. It’s my ipetence as a father. This kid’s talking nonsense. Please


    don’t lower yourself to his level. I’ll educate him properly back home!”


    Melvin smiled superficially as he raised his wine ss and finished it in one gulp.

    ‘Hah, if you really think you’re ipetent as a father, where were you when Zuko was bbering


    earlier?’


    The couple had been listening to their son happily!


    Melvin winced and looked at Nichs. “Nichs, sigh… Look at the mess this has be! I was just


    joking earlier! I genuinely wanted to help you find your daughter and help the Thompsons! I really have


    no ulterior motives. I—”


    “Alright, alright, I know you’ve had too much to drink!” Nichs chuckled. “But my daughter’s back. It’s


    a joyous asion! I’ll definitely hold a grand celebration!”
