As Charlie returned to the box, he noticed the captivating performance by Stefanie Sun continuing outside the expansive floor-to-ceiling window. Beside him, ire was peacefully asleep on the sofa.


    Rather than waking her abruptly, Charlie gently lifted ire, allowing her to lean against his shoulder. He settled onto the sofa, remaining still as he watched Stefanie Sun on stage, while also tuning into the atmosphere in the adjacent room through his aura perception.


    Meanwhile, the mood in the An family had plummeted to a somber low.


    Everyone was engulfed in sadness and frustration.


    The one most deeply affected was Charlie’s third uncle, Olin.<fn4026> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? Find1Novel</fn4026><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He struggled toprehend why his once-loving wife had be entangled with gangsters.


    This moment shattered his understanding of family and love.


    His daughter was still grappling with the grief of her mother’s passing, unable to find sce. Thankfully, Aunt Tablitaa was there, holding her close and providingfort.


    Hom, who shared the old man’s temperament, clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling with emotion.


    After a long silence, he spoke up: “Upon reflection, tonight marks the first time in the past ten or twenty years that our entire family has gathered sopletely outside of our home, except for Zidong who couldn’t make it. Almost everyone else is here…”


    The old man nodded slightly, letting out a sigh: “We even took two nes to get here, fearing something might happen to the whole family. This time, we were truly careless…”


    With tears in her eyes, the olddymented, “It’s all my fault… I suggested wee to support Stefanie Sun. After all, she has been so kind to our family…”


    Asher quickly reassured her: “Mom, you mustn’t me yourself! Stefanie Sun has indeed done a great deal for us, and it’s only natural for us to cheer her on. However, we’ve be overlyfortable in recent years, and our awareness of risks has significantly weakened. Now that we’ve narrowly escaped this situation, I vow to reassess our safety measures, ensuring that we will not face simr threats again.”


    The old man took the olddy’s hand, speaking earnestly, “Asher is correct. I don’t hold you responsible for this, but my three sons and I should have been more vignt.”


    At that moment, Hom interjected: “Dad, Mom, Big Brother, I don’t think you fully grasp the point I’m trying to convey…”


    Everyone turned their attention to Hom.


    He continued, “We were indeed negligent this time, but that’s only part of the issue. More importantly, this is not the first time our family has been caught off guard in thest twenty years, which indicates what? It suggests that our negligence wasn’t a coincidence; rather, it implies that the other party has been plotting how to eliminate us for the past two decades!”


    Upon hearing this, the expressions of the An family members froze in shock.


    They all understood the weight of Hom’s words.


    Hom spoke again, “Olin, please don’t take this personally, but I believe that Liqin’s marriage into our family is part of arger conspiracy! A conspiracy aimed at the entire An family—an borate, deeply-rooted, and lethal plot!”


    He paused briefly, his expression serious, before adding, “I can’t shake the feeling that this incident may be connected to what happened to my sister all those years ago!”
