Chapter 1173


    The Cao family''s affairs were finally over.


    After all, Neal needed some time to investigate and collect evidence on that.


    On the other hand, Sasha took action as soon as she received a call from Fade. She had


    immediately arranged for a boycott on the Cao family''s businesses, putting them in a crisis.


    At the moment, the Cao family''s businesses were in aplete mess, and even their medical


    center was affected too and had been closed temporarily.

    Hayden and Lamont were constantly going back and forth between the various family- owned


    companies, contacting the executives of eachpany to try and figure out what was going on?


    Caesar had been quite busy recently as well. He maintained close contact with his grandfather and


    Neal, providing all kinds of evidence to help Neal in investigating Lamont''s affairs.


    Meanwhile, life was peaceful and quiet for Fade who was staying in the vi provided by Boss Xu,


    with Lauren attending to him respectfully every day.


    Lauren had be a professional nanny from the training in the past few days.


    Another day passed. Fade looked at the sun and said to himself, "The Soo family''s annual banquet


    is happening tomorrow. Momo''s marriage will probably be mentioned by then. I must take action at


    that time."


    While Fade was thinking about it with his head held low, his cell phone rang.


    He looked at it and realized that it was from an unknown number. Fade paused for a while before he


    picked it up, "Hello."


    "Hello, is this Mr. Chen?" A gentle young woman''s voice came from the phone.


    Fade was a little surprised, he replied, "This is Fade Chen, may I know who you are..."


    The woman said softly, "Hello, Mr. Chen. My name is Natalie, I am Momo''s friend. Momo has


    something to discuss with you, but it is inconvenient for her to do so now, so she let me contact


    you."


    "You are Momo''s friend!" Fade was slightly surprised and said, "Miss Lan, is there anything I can


    help with?"


    Natalie replied, "Mr. Chen, can you meet me at the musical fountain in South Bay Garden? I will be


    waiting for you here."


    Fade made a rough estimation of the travel distance and immediately said, "Okay, I will be there in


    half an hour. Thank you, Miss Lan."


    "It''s okay, I''m Momo''s friend. It''s not a big deal," Natalie said softly and then hung up the phone.


    Then, Fade drove his car and hurried towards South Bay Garden.


    Twenty minutester, Fade arrived at the destination and saw a young girl with long hair in a sky


    blue dress by the water fountain in the garden.


    She seemed to be in her early twenties. At first nce, she appeared friendly with her round cheeks


    and warm smile. He couldn''t help but feel that she was an easy-going person.


    "Are you Mr. Chen?" The girl saw Fade approaching, and stepped forward with her right hand


    extended.


    Fade shook Natalie''s hand gently and nodded. "I am, and you must be Miss Lan, right?"


    Natalie nodded. Then she smiled and tucked her hair behind her ears as she said, "Mr. Chen,


    please follow me."


    Fade nodded and followed after her. Then the two of them walked around the park, and finally went


    through a narrow path in the forest and reached the back of the fence.


    A ck Mercedes-Benz SUV was parked behind


    the fence.


    Natalie pointed to the car and said to him, "Mr. Chen, please get in the car!"


    "This is..." Fade felt a little odd.


    Before Natalie could exin, the door of the car suddenly opened. Someone emerged from the car


    and plunged into Fade''s arms almost instantly. She cried, "Fade, you are finally here."


    Fade took a closer look and found that the person in his arms was Momo.


    He patted Momo''s back, andforted her softly, "It''s okay, don''t cry. I''m here, I''m here."


    Momo wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and said to Fade, pouting, "Hmph, I’m not


    crying!"


    Looking at her adorable face, Fade couldn''t help but chuckled and said, "Okay, you didn''t cry. The


    water stains on my shirt are definitely not your tears, it must be your sweat, right?"


    "It''s not sweat, it''s just..." Momo huffed.


    At this moment, Natalie came over and smiled gently as she said, "Momo, it''s gettingte, let''s get


    going."


    Only then did Momoe back to her senses. She quickly took Natalie''s arm and smiled while


    saying, "Natalie, I''m sorry! I was so excited for a while that I forgot about it. Let''s get in the car and


    head off now."


    Natalie smiled and said, "Young girl, I''ve seen you through. You''ve forgotten about me after seeing


    your sweetheart, haven''t you?"


    "Natalie, I haven''t forgotten about you! You will always be in my heart," Momo refuted, and then got


    into the back seat of the car with Fade.


    Natalie got into the driver seat and started the car.


    As the car engine started, Fade couldn''t help but ask Momo, "Momo, what is going on? Where are


    we heading now?"


    At that, Momo pursed her lips suddenly, and said angrily, "Fade, let me tell you what happened to


    me in my family in the past two days. My uncle and grandpa treated me like a criminal. Apart from


    sleeping and going to the toilet, they ordered someone to follow me at all times,pletely forcing


    me under house arrest."


    Upon hearing this, Fade couldn''t help but frown, revealing his disapproval.


    Fade knew that the Soo family had always opposed Momo''s rtionship with himself, but he didn''t


    expect Egbert and Somoset to put Momo under house arrest.


    Momo continued angrily, "I know what they are thinking, they are worried that I will escape from the


    marriage if I get out of the house. So, they locked me up until the annual banquet to affirm my


    marriage."


    "Then how did you manage toe out now?" Fade asked.


    Momo said, "I begged my dad for a long time, and with his help, I managed to get rid of those


    people on watch and get out of the house."


    "After I came out, I found Natalie. Natalie is my bestie. We have known each other for more than ten


    years. I asked Natalie to arrange things for me, then let youe here and meet me."


    "Arrange things for you? What things?" Fade asked.


    Momo kept it a secret and smiled mysteriously to Fade, "Don''t worry, just wait for a moment, we will


    be there soon."


    After that, Fade stopped asking about it, and sat with Momo while listening to herints all the


    way.


    Natalie who was in the driver''s seat was surprisingly a great listener. She barely interrupted their


    conversation along the way. She knew when to intercept their conversation asionally, which


    made her seem adequately involved in the conversation.
