Chapter 483: Chapter 483
Charles knew what she was referring to.
The guns of the killers were still aimed at Joy’s head.
Charles also glanced at Joy and said calmly, "I understand. I’ll remind my father."
After that, Charles and the other three were silent. They just had their coffee slowly and ate some pastries.
When Charles received the Council of Elders’s reply half an hour later, he let out a long breath. "The Council of Elders asked me to tell you that Osceiton has an idiom that do business with a smile and you’ll make a pile. The Rose family appreciates this idiom and hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate with V Group in the future. We don’t seek to be enemies with V Group."
In other words, the Rose family chose peace.
Avery smiled. "Congratulations to the Rose family on making a very wise decision."
Otherwise, she would have to aim the gun at the Rose family.
After saying that, Avery put away her iPad and said sweetly to Alexander, "Shall we go?"
Alexander nodded. "Alright, let’s go."
The two of them stood up and walked out of the cafe in each other’s arms.
After walking out of the cafe, Alexander asked, "Do you think Joy will return to the Carter family?"
Although Avery had never expressed her stance on this issue, Alexander believed that she still hoped that Joy would return.
Avery shook her head. "I don’t know about the future, but for now, she won’t."
Alexander asked, "Why?"
Avery smiled. "You’ve thought of it too, right? She still has the Unity Circle."
Alexander also smiled. "She’s very much like you and me. She always keeps a backup plan."
Why did Joy want to establish the extremely mysterious Unity Circle that only highly intelligent people could join?
Why was the Unity Circle’s range of activity mainly in Osceiton?
After carefully thinking about the content of the Unity Circle’s activities, one could come to a conclusion, which was that Joy was using this method to select suitable talents.
Why did she choose these talents?
Of course, it was to prepare a way out for herself so that when anything unexpected happened, she could start her own company and completely get rid of the Rose family.
Now, this backup plan came in handy.
In the cafe, Charles looked at Joy. "Joy, shall we get married when we get back?"
Joy laughed softly and covered her face with her hand. Her expression was a little strange. "Charles, you’re a smart man. Don’t tell me you think the Rose family can still keep me."
Although the Rose family chose to reconcile with the Carter family, and Salvatore became an ordinary person, Joy still messed up the most important thing for the Rose family.
In addition, she did not have the Rose family’s genes in her and had deceived the Rose family for so many years. Even if they did not kill her, they would not let her have an easy time.
She would be stupid to return to the Rose family.
"Joy, you know how I feel about you." Charles held her hand and said seriously, "Even though I already know your true identity, I have no intention of calling off the engagement with you. Also, I’ll protect you."
"You’ll protect me?" Joy looked between her fingers with mockery. "I know what I’m facing. You can’t fight the entire Rose family for me. You don’t have enough power to do that."
Charles frowned and still tried to convince her. "Joy..."
Joy had already stood up. "I won’t return to Aeloria. From tonight onward, we’ll go our separate ways. We’ll have nothing to do with each other from now on."
She strode out of the cafe without looking back.
Once outside, she immediately made a call. "Pass down my orders. Tomorrow night, Unity Circle will convene a meeting of the official members. The venue will be..."
The Rose family’s heir game was over.
No matter what, it was all in the past.
Joy would only look forward.
She was a citizen of Osceiton. It did not matter if she did not return to Aeloria for the rest of her life. The Rose family couldn’t extend their power into Osceiton.
During her four years of study at Rosemont University, Joy was not only busy with her studies and the search for prehistoric civilization.
She had secretly organized and strengthened the Unity Circle. She had already selected a batch of suitable talents for her use.
Joy used the name of a trusted aide to set up her own research and development company, investment company, film company, and so on in the country.
From tonight onward, she would do her best to start her own business empire.
This was her new game.
As for Nellie, she had long received Joy’s reminder and decided to stay in Osceiton to accompany her in starting a business.
Joy muttered, "What will the outcome of this new game be?"
A smile appeared on her face. She was as excited as a child who had found a fun game.
In mid–September, the Aclorian Open Tennis Championships ended.
Alaric successfully defeated many famous generals with abundant physical fitness and super–strong mental fortitude. He
lost to the world’s number one contestant and won third place, as he was a contestant from Zolin, the honor of winning third place in the Grand Slam was enough to make him go down in the history books.
No one doubted that he would be the Grand Slam champion one day, and it wouldn’t be long before that day came.
Diane, who was with him, was the runner–up of the Aclorian Open Tennis Championships and broke her personal best record. The whole world believed that this talented tennis girl would be the Grand Slam champion sooner or later.
More importantly, Alaric and Diane were still very young. They had just entered the golden age of tennis players and had a promising future.
With this honor, the two of them boarded a plane back to Osceiton to attend the wedding of Avery and Alexander.
Originally, it would be best for Avery and Alexander to have a wedding during the National Day.
However, this wedding was too grand. Not only were there celebrities from all walks of life, but there were also superstars like Zayn and Luna. If Avery and Alexander chose to hold the wedding on a holiday, many fans and internet celebrities might run over to watch the commotion. Even the security guards might not be able to stop them.
For safety’s sake, the two of them decided to hold their wedding on an ordinary weekend.
After the wedding, Avery would continue to work in Rosemont City. Alexander could travel between the two places. However, considering that the Moran family was huge with many elderly people, Avery decided to hold a public wedding in Valemont City.
Prior to the wedding, Avery and Alexander had been registered for marriage in Rosemont City.
On the day of registration, the two held a traditional–style wedding at Carter’s Farmland with only the Carter family members and Alexander’s friends attending it. At the same time, they went to the cemetery to pay their respect to the Carter family’s heroic ancestors according to the traditions.
Then, there was tonight’s public wedding.
Thousands of people attended the wedding, mainly the Moran family’s guests.
The Carter family’s guests attending were mainly family members, in–laws, good friends, and so on. There weren’t many of them, but all of them were famous or big shots.
Someone said, "I heard that Brandon’s wife is from a military family. Many generals from the army are attending this- wedding. Even a few military big shots who rarely show their faces are here."
Someone else said, "Even some big shots from the military are here? That’s unbelievable,"
Someone said, "It makes sense. Didn’t you notice that some of the guests came in through another passageway? That passageway leads straight to the interior of the venue, where no communication devices, photographs, videos, etc. are allowed. They’re doing this just to protect the identity of the military bigwigs from leaking out."
Another one said, "I don’t know if there are any big shots from the military attending the wedding in the interior, but I’ve already recognized that many famous experts and academicians from the National Academy of Sciences are here. Even the scientific experts, who haven’t shown up in public for years, are here. I can’t get it. How did the couple invite them to this wedding?"
Someone said, "I suppose the Moran family isn’t powerful enough to invite these people here. I can only say that the Carter family’s power is too great..."
Someone else said, "I guess so. Otherwise, why would Zayn only invite Tina over when he knows so many people in the showbiz? There are also rumors that the two of them are already living together..."
Someone said, "The Carter family’s girls are Josie and Maria. I’ve heard that many young rich guys have come here for Maria."
The others laughed. "Those guys are so uninformed. Maria often goes shopping and watches movies with Alexander’s secretary. They don’t even hide when they’re seen or photographed. They’re obviously a couple, so others should drop the idea of wooing her."
Someone said, "Look, Maria and Louis are watching TV there. They’re watching ’Beauty and the Boss’. They look like two university students in a relationship. They’re very innocent."
Another one said, "Only Josie of the Carter family is single. If you want to marry into the Carter family, wait another 10 years."
Someone else said, "By the way, I heard that Josie will be singing here tonight. It’s really an honor to be able to hear her sing."
Someone said, "That’s right. I heard that the Carter family rarely lets Josie participate in shows to prevent the media and the outside world from paying too much attention to her. It’s not easy to hear her sing live now..."
Many people were talking about the Carter family, and many were talking about the Moran family.
Someone said, "Mr. Alexander Moran is getting married. Why it Mr. Nicolas Moran here? Is he so sick that he can’t even attend his son’s wedding?"
Someone else laughed. "I’m thinking if Nicolas Moran is seriously ill or is dead on the day of Mr. Alexander Moran’s wedding, should this wedding... go on?"
Someone else said, "You’re too wicked. Don’t say that on such a big day..."
