Regrettably, by the time he reached the gate, Autumn was no longer anywhere to be found.
Right then, a plane took off.
“D*mn it!”
Harold gritted his teeth.
Meanwhile, Christie was shrieking at her brother outside.
“Jose, have you lost your mind? He's a thief. Not only did you let him go, but you even hit me!”
“Shut it! There's no way someone like Mr. Campbell would steal your phone. If he wants a phone, he can buy an entire phone company instead. Hurry up and come with me to apologize to him, or else Dad's going to kill you when we get home,” Jose said gloomily.
Then he dragged her to where Harold was, intending to make her apologize.
Christie was the hope of their family. To speed up his sister's return to the country, Laszlo and Jose had had to trick Christie, who had been studying abroad, back to the country in haste.
Christie has crossed Mr. Campbell! God really wants to wipe out the Fields family!
Nevertheless, Jose's words only confused Christie even more.
The guy is merely wearing clothes akin to an ordinary office worker. Moreover, he was glancing around in the lounge earlier. It's obvious that he's a thief looking for his target. Maybe he even stole those clothes he's wearing right now. But Jose said that this guy can buy a phone company just to get a phone at any time. What was Jose trying to say?
By the time they returned to the lounge, Harold was already gone.
Jose, who could not find Harold anywhere, leaned against the wall with a grim look and muttered, “Oh, no. We're doomed this time...”
“Jose, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say that Dad's gravely ill? Where is he? Take me to him right away!”
Sensing her brother's sorrow, Christie began feeling down as well.
“Our dad's fine. We lied to you about his health, but the Fields family is definitely doomed.”
Jose then told his sister what had happened to their family.
“Jose, are you kidding me? That sneaky-looking guy is the big shot of Dellmoor? Are you delusional or something?” Christie thought that her brother was pulling her leg.
“I know you won't believe me. Let me take you home to see Dad first.”
As Jose spoke, he stood up and towed his sister out from the airport.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Fields residence.
“What? You bumped into Mr. Campbell in the airport, and Christie even ticked him off?” the expressionless Laszlo asked grimly.
Christie hung her head and stuck her tongue out at her father before replying, “Dad, I... I didn't know who he was. He kept pacing in the lounge, and the way he was looking around made him seem like a thief!”
It was then she finally believed that the man she had encountered in the airport was Dellmoor's most powerful figure.
She had even declared that she was going to kill that man.
“You... I shouldn't have named you Christie; I should have named you Ditzy! I can't believe you called an influential man like him a thief! Are you blind?” Laszlo roared, his anger bubbling even more.
“I...”
Christie nearly burst into tears at her father's remark about her being scatterbrained.
