“Can you believe it?” Ito Nanako eximed, “Charlie specifically asked me to bring you and Tanaka-san along!”


    “Then I’m not going either,” Ito Yuhiko responded angrily. “I haven’t left the house in ages. I don’t want to go out and feel embarrassed, especially not to the United States.”


    Ito Nanako replied with determination, “That’s what Charlie wants!”


    “You clearly prefer him over me! What does that even mean?” Ito Yuhiko shot back. “Just go on your own. I’ll stay here and won’t go anywhere!”


    Ito Nanako felt a wave of anger and spoke firmly, almost reprimanding him, “Odosan! Have you forgotten how kind Charlie has been to our family?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “I haven’t forgotten!” Ito Yuhiko snapped. “But don’t overlook the fact that Charlie also took money from me! Those billions weren’t just given away. Did I ever mention that? No!”


    Ito Nanako insisted earnestly, “Odosan, Charlie is eager for us to go to New York for a significant reason. We must go!”


    “If Charlie needs help, you can represent the Ito family. What can I do? I’m a cripple without legs!” Ito Yuhiko replied bitterly.


    “Odosan!” Ito Nanako pressed, “What if Charlie asks you toe, not because he needs help, but to assist you?”


    “Assist me?” Ito Yuhiko said seriously. “I only have two things I might need his help with right now. First, I’d like him to marry you soon because I can’t wait to see my daughter in a wedding dress. Secondly, if he has any magical powers to make my legs grow back, I’d dly serve him for the rest of my life!”


    At that moment, Ito Yuhiko found it hard to believe that Charlie could ever restore his legs.


    Hisment was merely a way to express his discontent about going to the United States and confronting the epidemic.


    While Ito Nanako didn’t harbor such extravagant hopes, she didn’t want her father to sulk about the situation. So, without thinking, she dered, “Odosan, I’m not epting your opinion today. You must join me in the United States. If you refuse, I’ll have someone carry you on the ne!”


    “You wouldn’t dare!” Ito Yuhiko retorted angrily. “Even though you’re now the head of the Ito family, I’m still your father!”


    Ito Nanako crossed her arms and stated seriously, “Odosan, I’m here to inform you that I am now the highest authority in the Ito family!”


    Just then, the sound of a helicopter whirring filled the air, growing louder as it approached.


    Arge helicopter was swiftly descending, preparing tond in the yard’s center.<fn1289> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find·novel</fn1289>


    Ito Nanako nced at her father, who was at a loss for words, and directed the servants, “You all need to carry Odosan onto the ne!”


    The servants exchanged uncertain nces. Though they served the Ito family and were expected to follow the patriarch’s orders, they had always taken direction from Ito Yuhiko, leaving them unsure of how to proceed.


    Ito Nanako’s voice turned icy, “If you hesitate any longer, I’ll fire you on the spot!”


    Upon hearing this, the servants quickly made up their minds, exchanging determined looks before lifting Ito Yuhiko.


    Despite his furious resistance, Ito Yuhiko was no match for the strong young men. As soon as the helicopter touched down, he was unceremoniously ced inside.


    Without wasting any more time, Ito Nanako had Koichi Tanaka carried aboard as well. The aunt, along with the housekeeper, organized a group of servants to load numerous lunch boxes into the helicopter. Then, Ito Nanako climbed aboard, and they all took off for Tokyo Airport…<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
