550 What Brings You Here in the Middle of the Night?
After asking his assistant to take Evan into the ambulance, Ryan walked to the three girls and asked, "Why are you still standing there?"
Natalie replied, "We've been working all night and haven't eaten anything yet. And we couldn't decide between barbecue and sushi."
Ryan rolled his eyes and asked, "You worked all night? | cleaned up this mess for you, remember? I'm also hungry!"
Then Tammy said, "Why don't you join us for dinner, uncle Ryan? It's on me."
Shaking his head, Ryan patted Tammy across the forehead. "Ouch! What are you doing?" Tammy exclaimed, covering her forehead
Ryan said, "I'll tell your mother if you do something like that again. So, where are you guys going to eat? I'll drive you there."
"Are you not coming with us?"
"No, | still have work to do. It's dangerous around here lately, so you'd better get straight home after dinner," Ryan answered
Awhile later, the three girls dined at a barbecue restaurant. Sitting at the table and browsing the menu, Tammy said, "That prick deserved it! I'm so glad that Uncle Ryan dealt with him for me so that | wouldn’t have to get my hands dirty!"
"Evan seems seriously injured. He won't get back to us later, will he?"Alicia said absentmindedly
At the same time, Natalie was roasting meat for them. She said, "Don't worry, Alicia. Tammy will protect you. | can't guarantee anything else, but | promise you that you will never be wronged. No one dares to

Tammy proudly raised her brows and said, "That's for sure! My father and brother are the best in the world! Everyone is envious of me because of that."
"Oh, please! Don't forget you have the grumpiest mother in the whole world!" Natalie sneered and said
Surprised, Alicia asked, "Is Mrs. Wright grumpy? | thought she was very gentle."
"That's not the case. She's only grumpy with me," With a sigh, Tammy answered
Chuckling, Natalie said to Tammy, "If | were your mom, | would've been grumpy towards you! You failed every test, so your mother was always upset with you! Tammy, you should learn more from your brother
He's indeed a genius."
"So, what? It's none of my business. I'm bad at studying, but I'm good at live streaming. That's all that matters," Pouting, Tammy retorted
Then Natalie laughed and said to Alicia, "In case you don't know, Tammy's brother is smart, mature, and impressive. Everyone else envies Anna for having such a son!"
With a nod, Alicia said, "My cousin is very good at studying, so my parents always told me to look up to him as a role model."
"Alicia, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm sure Isabella would have liked you too. Too bad she's not here."
"Isabella? Who is she?" Alicia asked
Tammy said, "Don't talk like she's already dead, Natalie. Maybe she's having more fun than us. She finally got the freedom she wanted, after all."

Natalie rolled her eyes. "What's the matter with you? Isabella has been missing for a long time, and even Uncle Jasper couldn't find her. I'm really worried about her."
"Don't worry. I'm sure she's all right now." Tammy replied calmly
Meanwhile, Anthony was enjoying a barbecue with his friends in Cliatin City
"Please allow me to toast Anthony." One of his friends said
"Why?"
"I'd like to congratulate Anthony on not having to go on blind dates after he returns home for the holidays."
Except for Anthony, who appeared embarrassed, everyone erupted in laughter
"Don't be ridiculous," Anthony stammered with a blush
"Why are you so nervous? Are you going to bring Chelsea home with you? Chelsea, are you going back home with him for Christmas?"
