“Knowing is one thing,” Mandy replied. “But you two are her friends. Your advice is valuable to them. You have an outsider’s perspective, which often sees more clearly. Allies are cial; you have to hold on to them tightly.”

Mandy looked at Chase. “Especially when it comes to Waylon.”

“Waylon?”

“Yes.” Mandy nodded, her eyes still on the television. “Waylon doesn’t handle internal family affairs; he focuses on investigations. But no one has ever put restrictions on his work or dared to interfere. Isn’t that because of the Fred family’s strong position?”

Everything was interconnected.

“You should remind Waylon–even when it comes to solving cases, he needs to be careful of the people in his own house.”

“I understand.”

After midnight, Wendy and Chase each found a coin in their dumplings and went to bed in high spirits. They changed into their loungewear and curled up in bed. Chase kissed Wendy on the forehead several times.

“It’s been years since I got money as a gift,” Chase said.

Wendy gave a little huff. “Same here. We’ve been together for so many years… Have you ever seen Mom give us money as gift before? Don’t say money as allowances or whatnot; as a gift, it holds a different meaning.”

The Fred family’s Christmas celebration was a lot livelier than the Quinn family’s. There were just too many people; so many branches and relatives that it was hard to keep count. Even those staying at the old house numbered in the dozens.

Benny Fred was no longer around, but his wife still lived there.

Her name was Eleanor Gomez. Her personality was as strong as Mandy’s. She had stood beside Benny as they built the Fred family empire. Now that she was older and her legs weren’t what they used to be, her sharp eyes remained. She was still the guiding light of the Fred family.

No one dared act

in front of her.

On Christmas Day, Chase and Wendy visited the Fred family. The housekeeper opened the door and led them to see Waylon and Lemon first.

The two of them had stayed up all night gaming and were now relying on coffee to stay awake.

“You’re here early. Have you eaten?” Waylon got up.
