Chapter 342

作者: Lord Leaf
Wendy knew that her future was very bleak.

Lady Wilson wiped the tears off her face before she said seriously, “Wendy, you used to be the princess in our house. I have always spoiled you, your parents spoiled you, and your brother also spoiled you a lot. You did not focus on your studies, and even after graduating, you refused to go to work, but that was still acceptable then. However, that was all in the past. Our family is not what it used to be, now. Wendy, you have to change. You have to learn how to be more mature so that you can share some responsibility on behalf of the Wilson family. Otherwise, our family will only suffer more and more.”

Wendy nodded before she said, “Grandma, I am sorry. I was too playful in the past and I did not learn anything at all. I am sorry that I could not do anything for our family…”

Lady Wilson squeezed Wendy’s hand before she said earnestly, “Wendy, everything is already in the past. You are, and you will always be, my precious granddaughter. How

Kenneth and Lady Wilson should not be expecting Wendy to be a pawn. She work for Kenneth, or for her grandmother, not just be used. That way, she can take care of herself, like her cousin, and brother do.

I apologize, everyone. I think I referred to Harold as Wendy's cousin, instead of her brother. Gotta keep the relationships straight.

Lady Wilson is right, and it's helpful that she is actually being kind, but still honest about Wendy's situation. There is no reason for Wendy not to work, nor for her grandmother to choose between kindness and honesty. It's possible to be both simultaneously.

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6858

    Arlo grunted noncommittally before hanging up.While Penny was left staring at the phone and biting her lip in silence, Charlie suddenly said, "Your governor is telling you to return and await further orders… That means he's not leaving his post anytime soon."Penny began tentatively, "Well, he's busy…""Busy, my ass," Charlie snorted in disdain. "He's just playing chaperone to the Three Elders in Nigeria."Penny exclaimed in surprise, "H-How did you know?!"Charlie shrugged nonchalantly. "I just know, and that it's Fleur's plan to have the Three Elders ambush me in Nigeria. Though I'm sure she never expected me to come here instead of going to Nigeria."Penny couldn't help thinking highly of Charlie's abilities.Even Penny herself didn't have the clearance to that information, and Arlo was breaking a rule telling her about it.Naturally, she was also aware that Arlo was giving her special treatment to get in her good graces. She had certainly been keen to return the favor so t

    It was a rule for any collateral branch individuals not to return to their families. In the end, the Qing Eliminating Society was basically ancient nobles—anyone not bearing the Griffin name would be made to serve, and they naturally had neither freedom nor holidays.And when they became a part of the family and learned even a single family secret, they wouldn't be allowed to leave.Still, giving Penny a vacation was as much a special treatment as a risk. If she caused any trouble while at home or affected the Qing Eliminating Society negatively, Arlo would be held responsible.Despite her outstanding talent, she was still just a young girl in her twenties. After being away from her family for two years, it was only natural that she might be homesick, but she wouldn't even dream of returning home.Indeed, Penny would have been overjoyed before, but she was now endlessly miserable and certainly not thrilled.She was never getting away from Charlie's clutches, and there was no tel

    The mining machinery was working in full capacity, while trucks loaded with hundreds of tons of raw phosphate were moving back and forth across the mines and the refinery, kicking up a cloud of white dust across the barren lands of the mines.Even Charlie couldn't help feeling a tinge of sadness watching the trucks that were as tall as three-floor buildings. If he had had them in Syria to help with construction and logistics at Ten Thousand Armies' base, they might have been twice as effective, even moving mountains.Still, he could only make a mental note to buy a few since each of those trucks was going to be torched, and he was not taking anything away.Beside him, Penny looked like she had lost all her will to live.She wasn't just afraid to flee from Charlie, just as she hated the idea of leaving with him.If the Qing Eliminating Society presumed that she had turned, that she had been abducted or murdered, her family would lose their greatest hope and wouldn't have another ch

    That was why Arlo had really taken good care of Penny over the last two years, appointing her as praetor and training her however he could, while also affording her family special treatment.In fact, Arlo had even decided to arrange a marriage between Penny's half-sister, who was three years younger than Penny herself, to his youngest son, further binding the Singers to the Griffins.Furthermore, he had made clear to his own branch family that they must all treat any Singer wife with respect and not take a mistress while being married—a privilege afforded to the Griffins until now. Before this, if a Griffin was dissatisfied with their wife, they could just take a mistress from the collateral families after three years while still having one wife. Higher-ranked Griffins may even take two mistresses, while Arlo, a governor, was afforded three mistresses at once. After all, if the number of Griffins increased without control, even the collateral families would have trouble keeping t

    Meanwhile, in Nigeria, thousands of miles away from Duca Mines, Arlo Griffin was standing on a tower without anyone in sight, aside from his consul Callum Biffle.At the moment, the Right Military Governor was grumbling, "How long do we have to wait? We don't even have the faintest clue when that prick is coming. What if they have sensed a trap? Doesn't that mean he will never show up?"Callum then told him under his breath, "Well, we can't exactly be half-hearted when the Three Elders are here in our jurisdiction. I mean, they're mostly staying in seclusion for cultivation and don't need us serving their beck and call, but top officials like us goofing off here? We definitely could achieve more elsewhere."The Transition is supposed to start in two days, but Kansair Mile's garrison is exempt, anyway. Talk about serving no purpose at all… if anything, we should be asking Her Lordship for permission to return to Naples."Arlo was silent for a beat, but he soon sighed. "Look, I'd lik

    Ten Thousand Armies were many, and half of them were Oskians, while the others were a mix of other nationalities.With such diversity, assimilating a few locals was really no trouble.Charlie then asked, "How are things over at the fishing port? Will it draw attention?""Nope," Merlin smiled, shaking his head. "Management is in tatters, what with thousands of fishing boats of various sizes coming in and out of the port every day. Most of the residents in the area are fishermen, and the cultures are diverse. There are cliques here and there, but there's no major organization, and since most are locals, we won't draw much attention."The coast guard here is also pretty lax. They only check for contraband, and we won't have any problems if we don't smuggle anything illegal. We could even buy some catch from Algeria and pretend it's ours, and no one will be any wiser.""Good," Charlie replied. "The shipping lanes down the Strait of Gibraltar are always busy, so even if they manage to
