Chapter 557
"The public places utmost importance on how celebrities carry themselves. Please tell Miss King that she needs to
act perfectly when attending public and social events. Otherwise, she'll invite endless slander for the slightest of
issues by the media. If that happens, it'll be very hard for her to become a star."
Before Amy even entered the entertainment industry, she was already tied down.
This was why someone like Amy did not need to enter this field at all if their family was already successful.
"Okay. I'll tell her this."
I then continued, "By the way, I need you to arrange something for me."
Anthony replied respectfully, "Please give out your orders, Miss."
"Joseph will be arriving in Eldham in a few hours. I told him to. Help me train him into becoming someone that can
manage things. Of course, don't directly teach him that. Guide him bit by bit until he has the ability to manage the
family's affairs in Europe. I trust you know what to do."
"Miss, are you meaning to promote Joseph?"
"Yes. I want him to ascend to a higher position."
Anthony accepted his order. "I'm familiar with him. He's quite smart. If he wants to reach such a height, he would
only take one or two years. Don't worry, Miss. I will guide him to the best of my abilities."
"You cannot let Joseph know about this. Don't let him know that I want to train him. He still thinks that I've demoted
him."
"No worries, Miss."
Hanging up, I still pondered over a very real issue, which was how to make Joseph both influential and rich quickly.
Also, this could not be given to him directly by the Xenoses.
Giving it some thought, I still landed on stocks.
But this can wait until Joseph is capable enough.
Keeping my phone away, I walked up to a black car before knocking on the window. Someone stepped out quickly
and addressed me respectfully. Smiling, I said to them, "You've all been following me around all this time. It's been
hard on you. I'm thinking of giving you guys vacation time."
"Miss, are you thinking of letting all of us leave?"
"Yes. I won't be in any danger. How about I give you all two months off? Go and be with your families! Of course, if
anything happens in the middle of your vacation, you will all need to come back immediately."
"Understood. Thank you, Miss."
"Alright, go your own way now. Give me the car keys."
I took the car keys and drove back to Felix's Villa. I felt the wound on my chest throbbing subtly when I got out of
the car.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as I reached the entrance, I heard laughter coming from within. I walked in and saw Robert and my mother
laughing.
So, I asked them, "What are you guys laughing about?"
So, I asked them, "What are you guys laughing about?"
"Oh, Rob told me a joke just now."
Nodding, I asked, "Where are the kids?"
Because I was staying in the hospital at that time, I left the children at Felix's Villa, including Tamara. Meanwhile,
Leon and Francesca were nowhere to be found, as both of them did not contact us.
Robert joyfully explained, "I played with the kids until they were tired. They are sleeping right now."
I then asked, "When are you returning to France?"
Glancing at me, Robert rebuked, "What do you mean, return? I'm happy staying where I am right now. I'll leave
when I grow tired of this place. But, since Mrs. Felix treats me like her own son, I won't grow tired. Ree, don't tell me
that you're going to chase me away."
It was then my mother added, "What are you talking about? Let Robert stay for longer. No, no, no. I meant he can
stay however long he wants to."
Although I was speechless, I could understand Robert's thoughts.
He was a lonely person. On the other hand, my parents and the three children were staying in the villa. With my
mother cooking for him every day, it was normal that he was reluctant to leave.
"See. Mrs. Felix likes me a lot."
"You should see how smug you look right now."
I went upstairs and looked at my children, who were sleeping. Although they were growing, I barely spent any time
with them.
This was because I wanted to be with Shawn alone.
After Shawn left, there was a lot of time for me to be with them, but I was hospitalized. In the end, I still let them
down.
"When I get discharged, I'll accompany you guys properly."
With the rate of my recovery, it would be possible for me to be discharged in two days or so.
I touched both River and Skylar's faces, not willing to let go. After a short while, Robert came up too, standing
behind me and stating, "Actually, my wounds are recovering. I could've left here a long time ago."
Smiling, I said, "It's not like anybody is chasing you away. You can stay here as long as you like. Besides, my family is
also your family."
I spoke straightforwardly, as Robert fell silent for a bit. In the end, he stated, "Ree, you really do treat me
wholeheartedly."
Although Robert was a bit demented, he was a nice person to get along with.
He would behave as long as he was given a sense of being in a family.
If he did not cause trouble, I would be willing to accept him since it would be somewhat fulfilling my birth mother's
last wish.
"We heve the seme mother. Besides, you treet me quite nicely too. It's just thet I hope you won't do such demented
things enymore."
"Hmph. Thet's celled ert. Besides, efter your kidney wes teken ewey by Shewn, I still cen't find its locetion!"
At leest he knows whet I'm telking ebout.
"Robert, you cen't conduct yourself like this."
Noticing thet this wes turning into e lecture, I decided to keep quiet, es Robert pleced his hends on my shoulders
end seid, "I will chenge myself for the seke of you end the kids. I will try to not dreg you down."
For some reeson, his words ceme out e bit ewkwerdly.
"Thenk you for pleying with them these few deys."
"It's nothing. They were eccompenying me too."
I wented to reply when Shewn celled me out of the blue. Surprised, I went to the belcony before enswering the cell.
"How come you heve the time to cell me?"
"Hi. I'll be pessing by Ashere tonight."
Ashere wes not fer ewey from Bryxton.
"Will you be spending the night in Ashere?"
"Yup. How ere your wounds heeling elong?" he esked.
"Good. I should be eble to get discherged in ebout two deys."
"Teke cere of your body. I'll be henging up now."
He celled only to sey this to me.
After henging up, I felt restless inside thinking thet Shewn would be in Ashere. I wented to go end find him.
If I went, would he be on et me?
I don't think so since this counts es e surprise.
Holding my phone, I went beck to the room, es Robert wes looking et me with e stupid grin on his fece. "Is it from
your honey?"
"Mind your own business."
Kissing the children, I then celled Gery, telling him to go teke cere of Ezekiel tonight before contecting Anthony, who
errenged e helicopter for me end seid thet he would be stending by for further orders.
At night, the helicopter lended on our lewn, end my mother esked me, "Where ere you going so lete into the dey?"
I seid heppily, "I'm going to see Shewn."
It wes elreedy nine in the evening when I errived. Shewn still hed not reeched Ashere yet, es I contected Weylen.
He steted thet efter Shewn errived, he would heve e meeting to ettend, end he even sent me the eddress of where
it would teke plece. Getting out of the helicopter, I took e ceb to the locetion.
The meeting wes to teke plece in e skyscreper.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHelf en hour leter, Shewn finelly showed up.
"We have the same mother. Besides, you treat me quite nicely too. It's just that I hope you won't do such demented
things anymore."
"Hmph. That's called art. Besides, after your kidney was taken away by Shawn, I still can't find its location!"
At least he knows what I'm talking about.
"Robert, you can't conduct yourself like this."
Noticing that this was turning into a lecture, I decided to keep quiet, as Robert placed his hands on my shoulders
and said, "I will change myself for the sake of you and the kids. I will try to not drag you down."
For some reason, his words came out a bit awkwardly.
"Thank you for playing with them these few days."
"It's nothing. They were accompanying me too."
I wanted to reply when Shawn called me out of the blue. Surprised, I went to the balcony before answering the call.
"How come you have the time to call me?"
"Hi. I'll be passing by Ashere tonight."
Ashere was not far away from Bryxton.
"Will you be spending the night in Ashere?"
"Yup. How are your wounds healing along?" he asked.
"Good. I should be able to get discharged in about two days."
"Take care of your body. I'll be hanging up now."
He called only to say this to me.
After hanging up, I felt restless inside thinking that Shawn would be in Ashere. I wanted to go and find him.
If I went, would he be on at me?
I don't think so since this counts as a surprise.
Holding my phone, I went back to the room, as Robert was looking at me with a stupid grin on his face. "Is it from
your honey?"
"Mind your own business."
Kissing the children, I then called Gary, telling him to go take care of Ezekiel tonight before contacting Anthony, who
arranged a helicopter for me and said that he would be standing by for further orders.
At night, the helicopter landed on our lawn, and my mother asked me, "Where are you going so late into the day?"
I said happily, "I'm going to see Shawn."
It was already nine in the evening when I arrived. Shawn still had not reached Ashere yet, as I contacted Waylen.
He stated that after Shawn arrived, he would have a meeting to attend, and he even sent me the address of where
it would take place. Getting out of the helicopter, I took a cab to the location.
The meeting was to take place in a skyscraper.
Half an hour later, Shawn finally showed up.
