Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Want to ask for your help
"A person of ordinary background, how could they have the ability to investigate the Ross Family, and moreover, come asking for the child right when Mr. Ross is about to celebrate his birthday..." Charlotte pursed her lips, stopping mid-sentence, her implication clear without further words.
"Everyone can see there’s something amiss with the situation, but there’s nothing we can do."
Adam knew all too well that this was probably targeted at himself.
After harboring such a thought, Adam even cast his suspicions on certain members of the Ross Family.
After all, the internal strife within the Ross Family was fierce. Although Mr. Ross still held power, the family was already falling apart.
Almost everyone was eyeing the position of the family patriarch held by Mr. Ross.
And now, what Mr. Ross cared about the most were the two children, Jack and Chad.
Starting with these two children, it might be easy to pull the old man down from his position as family head.
"What is Mr. Ross’s current opinion?" Justin Battleson asked calmly.
Because of Jasmine, Justin had interacted with Mr. Ross for a while when he was younger.
Moreover, as Adam’s friend, Justin had a fair understanding of Mr. Ross’s temperament.
This woman with an unclear background.
Logically speaking, Mr. Ross should not let her off easily.
"This is what troubles me the most, but even though it’s peculiar, no one can touch her, and as for the children..."
Adam trailed off again, but the meaning behind his words was clear to both Justin and Charlotte.
"Moreover, this woman’s character is truly... sensitive."
It seemed some unpleasant memory made Adam’s expression suddenly turn ugly.
"You have no idea, she actually clung to me and cried for two whole hours yesterday."
Although Adam thought that women were made of water, he still found it somewhat difficult to cope with that woman, who cried like a floodgates had been opened.
Hearing Adam’s words, Justin pressed his fist against his lips and laughed softly.
"Big brother, we’re at this life-and-death critical point, and you can still mock me?" Adam looked at Justin with a pitiful gaze.
"Every bully meets a bigger bully," Justin said, utterly unsympathetic.
Adam was quite skilled at bothering others, and now that he was being tormented by someone else, as his good friend, Justin naturally took some pleasure in his misfortune.
"Today I came to Stardust Garden to seek refuge partly, but more importantly..."
Adam sighed, looked at Charlotte, and said, "There’s something I want to ask for your help with."
Charlotte pointed at herself.
Seeing Adam nod, the expression on Justin’s face darkened a bit.
"What do you want me to help you with?"
Combining the things Adam had mentioned earlier, Charlotte had a rather absurd answer in her mind.
Adam’s tongue lightly touched his upper palate, his hands crossed on the table, rubbing against each other uneasily.
Finally, he cleared his throat, seemingly wanting to make an important announcement, but his voice gradually lowered, "You both know that in two days, it will be our family patriarch’s ninetieth birthday..."
Charlotte listened intently, waiting for Adam to continue.
"Jack and Chad will definitely return for it."
"But if the two children go back now, doesn’t it mean that their identities will be directly and formally exposed?"
Charlotte directly asked the question, which caught Adam off guard, making him look stunned.
"Charlotte..." Adam looked somewhat embarrassedly at Charlotte.
"I remember your family promised me before that I can always take care of Jack and Chad, but... Adam, don’t you realize what revealing their identities would mean for these two children?"
