"Wife, this is a gift from Mr Hines!" Billy kissed Harleen's forehead.
"He called me more than ten times for this matter. If I refuse again, he will think that I am deliberately keeping my distance from him, which is not appropriate. How about you accept it on behalf of me? Due to my special identity, I cannot hold shares in the company under my name. Can you help me hold them?"
"Humph! Don't try to treat me like a child!" Harleen rolled her eyes at him. "I know you too well. You are just trying to make it seem like it has nothing to do with you after I accept it!"
"Um..." Billy twitched his mouth. "Do I look like that kind of person?"
"You don't just look like one, you are one!" Harleen pouted.
"Well then, let's settle this matter." Billy smiled again. "Mr Hines will send the relevant documents in a few days and you can handle the procedures."
"But we can't..." Harleen spoke up again.
"Trust me wife, this is good for both Mr Hines and for us." Billy interrupted her with a smile. "Okay then, let's go watch Tasha set off fireworks!"
"Husband... thank you," Harleen looked at Billy affectionately with tears in her eyes.
How could she not know that this was a gift specially given by her husband? He was making up for his guilt towards her over these past five years. Otherwise, with his personality he would never have accepted such an expensive gift from Derek Hines; otherwise he would have taken over the entire World Group long ago.
"Harleen, Today is New Year's Eve, on such an important day please don't cry." Said Billy as he kissed her forehead once more.
"Otherwise if mom and dad find out they might think that I'm bullying their daughter!"
After speaking they walked towards Stout together holding hands
For the next two or three days, Billy stayed home accompanying his family. All year round there were very few opportunities where he could enjoy family time so naturally he cherished every moment of it. On the second day of Chinese New Year, Azure Dragon made a special trip to Ozin before he returned to the southern territory from the capital city while bringing Black Tortoise along as well.
The two carried large bags of gifts when they came over Fletcher Knight's house
Billy talked with them for almost two hours. The situation in the southern region was even more complicated than that of the eastern border. Billy was slightly uneasy and thus he gave many special instructions to his subordinates. In terms of manpower, aside from the four vice generals in Azure Dragon's command, Billy had transferred 200, 000 Bloodshadow guards from the western border to the southern region and also sent Groups Eight and Nine of Bloodshadow Forbidden Guard there.
On New Year's Day, Derek Hines came all the way from Enssea to Ozin with a purpose. On one hand it was for New Year greetings, on the other hand he brought relevant information about Sunpark Group. Since New Year's Eve when Billy finished talking with Harleen about it, Harleen didn't bring it up again. She took it as her husband's goodwill gesture.
Time passed quickly and before they knew it, it was already sixth day of Chinese New Year.
That morning while Billy and Harleen were playing with Tasha at a playground in their community park Judge and Stout walked over.
"Boss! Ms Knight!" The two greeted them as they approached.
"Hello Uncle Judge! Hello Uncle Stout!" Tasha shouted loudly towards them.
"Tasha is so good! So well-behaved!" Judge patted her head gently.
"What brings you here?" Billy asked curiously
