During hisst trip to Japan, he easily rescued Fitz and Zara. While he believed he had saved two allies, he was blindsided by the revtion that one of them was actually the enemy’s child. This unexpected twist left him feeling quite despondent.


    Now, it seemed that the two had returned to Orrin’s home once again.


    Could it be that the Banks Family was attempting to win over the Banks family?


    Charlie remained cautious in the video; after all, Orrin was unaware of his experiences in Japan.


    At that moment, Hank, the second son of the Banks family, spoke up: “Brother, do you think the younger generation of the Banks Family is here to present gifts? I’m not entirely sure, but I suspect it might rte to the Banks Family’s recent troubles in Japan. They have indeed faced significant losses, and perhaps they are looking to forge alliances with other families.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Orrin’s expression turned cold as he replied, “In Eastcliff, the one I have the least respect for is Zayne! He’s an absolute disgrace! The anti-Wade coalition against Bruce was a disaster he orchestrated, using underhanded tactics and secret attacks!”<fn5586> The rightful source is fι?dnοvel</fn5586>


    Angie, who was listening nearby, chimed in: “I don’t have much respect for him either, but we shouldn’t dismiss them outright. As the saying goes, you don’t strike a friendly face. Besides, Zayne’s children are here this time. We shouldn’t let past grievances affect the younger generation. If word gets out, it would only make us look foolish.”


    After considering her words, Orrin nodded and said, “Alright, let’s see what they’re really after.”


    Then he turned to Charlie and stated, “Charlie, the Banks Family is here to present gifts, and I will ept them.”


    Charlie nodded in agreement, saying, “Alright, Uncle Orrin, go ahead. I’m just here to wish you a Happy New Year in advance!”


    Orrin smiled back, responding, “Happy! Happy! I haven’t felt this joyful during the Chinese New Year in recent years!”


    He then sighed, adding, “Oh, it would be wonderful if you could spend the New Year in Eastcliff, Charlie! If our family of four could be together for the holiday, it would be better than anything else! I’d just close the door and enjoy our time together. Even if the heavenly kings came knocking, they wouldn’t be allowed in!”


    Charlie recognized that Orrin and his wife were hoping to see him as their son-inw, even wishing his parents were present in spirit. However, he had never considered divorcing ire, leaving him uncertain about how to respond to Orrin’s sentiments.


    At that moment, Angie stepped in to ease the tension, saying, “It’s okay, Charlie must have a n. Perhaps your wish wille true in a few years, so there’s no need to rush.”


    Orrin agreed, saying, “No need to hurry; good things take time. I’ve been waiting for years, so what’s another three?”


    He then addressed Charlie, “Charlie, I won’t keep you any longer. We’ll talk more another day. Wishing you a Happy New Year!”


    Charlie responded quickly, “Thank you, Uncle Orrin!”


    Just then, Stefanie spoke up, “Mom and Dad, you go ahead. I’ll stay and chat with Charlie for a bit.”


    Orrin replied, “You should join us. I have nothing much to discuss with the younger generation of the Banks Family. You know them well enough; just say a few words on my behalf and find a way to excuse yourself.”


    Stefanie sighed, “Alright then…”


    She turned back to Charlie and said, “Charlie, I’ll hang up now.”


    Charlie nodded with a smile, “Okay, take care.”


    Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Banks family courtyard, Fitz, a promising young man, satfortably on a red sandalwood sofa beside the elegant Zara.


    After the Banks’s servants served tea, they quietly excused themselves, leaving the two alone in the main hall for the moment.


    Noticing Fitz’s nervousness, Zara leaned in and whispered, “Brother, remember not to be too anxious when you meet your dream girl!”
