Chapter 2010: Such A Grand Setup
Chapter 2010: Such a Grand Setup
The next day.
Luther, apanied by Joyce and the children, boarded South Ind. 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 Ind. Luther had discussed with himst night about the
communication surveince around South Ind, including intercepting signals to prevent any
outgoing signals from the ind.
Today, they arrived early to further enhance security, conducting thorough checks and precautions.
South Ind was a not-so-big ind, with picturesquendscapes, waves crashing against the
rocky shore, creating a rhythmic sound. The ind 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 waste 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 ind.
Firstly, the resort connected the golden beach and the sea, with a hugewn in between, where
winter wheat grew lushly. At the end of thewn, stood a grand banquet hall and a sprawling main
building, embracing the surroundings with open arms. This area served to wee VIP guests and
host luxurious banquets.
Behind the banquet hall were rows of vacation vis for the guests to stay in.

Joyce and Luther stayed in the closestrge vi to the banquet hall. Besides Aaron, there were
dozens of bodyguards and four nannies amodated in one ce.
As soon as they arrived on South Ind, 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 ind.
There were approximately 30 staff members inside, each diligently monitoring their assigned areas.
Anderson was amazed by the grand setup. Compared to what he had experienced before, this was
on a whole new level.
"Wow," Anderson eximed, "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 theworks 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 nced at Kane.
"Well, it''s just for the sake of formality. Your safetyes first. We will see each other anyway, no
need for unnecessary formalities," Kane said nonchntly, 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 yfully 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 themtely." Anderson began to
explore every corner of South Ind with the surveince 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? Imnted 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 ce." 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 nce, "Enough talk, let''s get to work."
"Heh, now you''re lecturing me?" Kane grumbled but joined Anderson in checking thework lines.
Inside the vacation vi.
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 Elsae?"
"Oh, your dad asked her to go back at thest minute. The family also needs someone to look after
them," Joyce replied, "With Jane, Mrs. 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.
At that moment, Iris said, "Mom, I''ve grown up too. I can help take care of the siblings with you. I''ve
learned to change diapers and feed the bottles. I can do it well."
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.
"Iris, Grandma will be here soon. You can y with her; okay? Mom still has lots to take care of,"
Joyce squatted down, hugging Iris.
Iris nodded vigorously, "Okay, Mom. I won''t cause you any trouble."
Joyce kissed Iris on the forehead.
