Chapter 125
This wine was personally brewed by Robb Brooke, just a sniff of it is enough to make her mouth water,
“So, how’s everything back home?”
“Pretty good, I just don’t get why you gave money to Sandra Irvine and her crew three years ago?
Didn’t you know they’re a bunch of greedy pigs?” Just the mention of Sandra made Astrid pissed.
Hearing this, Magee heaved a long sigh, “you think I didn’t know that Sandra is no saint?”
‘About three and a half years ago, I finally found the orphanage where you lived as a kid, only to
discover that there was a fire the day after they took you in. None of the kids survived. Meaning, if they
hadn’t taken you in, you probably would’ve died in that fire.”
“Even though they’re annoying as hell, they did save your life and raised you. They gave us the chance

was depressed.”
It was the first time Astrid saw her dad looking so gloomy. She put down her wine glass, walked over,
and hugged him, “Dad, I know you miss mom so much, but you need to take care of yourself…”
‘Star, don’t worry about me, I’m gonna live a long life. I’m still planning to take my great–grandkids
fishing, haha…” Mention fishing, and Magee’s eyes started to sparkle.
Astrid didn’t want to hear his long–winded stories about fishing, so she left the room with an annoyed
expression.
After a few days in the States, Astrid returned with Elio and the gang.
Once Astrid and Roman left, the house felt empty and cold again.
Magee sat by his artificial lake, fishing, feeling a bit hollow.
“I heard you kicked Mr. Lampard out a few days ago?” Dailey came over with a fishing rod, pulled up a
stool, and sat next to Magee.
Magee huffed unhappily, “That kid was eyeing my Star. He should count himself lucky I didn’t whack
him with a fishing rod.”
“Do you know Mr. C is in the States?” Dailey asked.
“Mr. C?” Magee furrowed his brows, “I didn’t receive any news. Why would he come here?”
Dailey shook his head, “That Mr. Lampard is actually Mr. C’s assistant, and he brought Mr. C’s token.
But you…you locked him out and gave him the cold shoulder. Jon Brooke told me about your attitude
towards him.”
“Who cares if he’s Mr. C’s assistant? Even if it was Mr. C himself, I wouldn’t treat him any differently.
Nobody’s taking my Star away!” Magee threatened.

The two old men chatted.
On the surface, Magee appeared calm, but inside he was somewhat anxious. After all, Mr. C was not
someone he could offend.
Long–haul flights are exhausting. By the time Astrid and Roman landed, they were beat.
It was three in the morning when Astrid got off the plane and texted her dad to let him know she was
safe, then she immediately went to sleep.
She was woken up early the next morning by her ringing phone.
She reached out and hung up without opening her eyes, but the phone rang again soon after.
The ringing gave her a headache. She squinted and answered the call.
As soon as she picked up, she heard Dale raging on the other end, “Astrid! How many times have you
hung up on me? Today’s the recording day for the variety show The Illusionist’s Realm. Look at the
time! Hurry up and get to the TV station for makeup!”
