At ten in the morning, Nathan Moore had already arrived at Banyan City. He got into the car sent by the branch office and headed towards the city center.
The hotel had been booked in advance, located right across from the West Peak Hotel, with rooms facing the street. This made it easy to see the vehicles passing by on the street, yet it ensured that he would not be discovered by the Zane Family’s people.
Half an hour later, Felix Shaw and Evander Lancaster also arrived, accompanied by secretary Sophia Hamilton.
As soon as she entered the room, Sophia Hamilton couldn’t stop grumbling, "... What era is it that they still arrange marriages? We should call the police, arrest that old-fashioned fossil, and see how he dares to be arrogant!"
Evander Lancaster casually glanced over, "Then go ahead and call the police, and see whether the police are more powerful or those holding the guns have more clout."
"Psh, you just know how to argue with me!" Sophia Hamilton snorted disdainfully, nervously tightening her sweater’s collar that had several kiss marks sucked onto it by this creep, making her wear this high-neck sweater despite not being used to it.
Standing in front of Director Moore, Sophia Hamilton suggested, "Director Moore, how about I go scout out the hotel opposite first? Since they don’t recognize me anyway, I’ll keep in touch with you guys over the phone if there’s any news."
Just as Evander Lancaster was about to speak up to question why a woman was trying to prove herself, Nathan Moore cut in first, "Hmm, go ahead."
He hadn’t had much time to recuperate; his injuries hadn’t fully healed. After a two-hour flight followed by a car ride, his back wound was terribly painful, but as long as he could take back his woman, he was willing to endure.
Before leaving the room, Sophia Hamilton scrunched her nose at Evander Lancaster and made a slashing gesture. Evander Lancaster threw her a light glance and had no mood to engage.
Seeing Nathan Moore smoking in the living room, Evander Lancaster walked over, bent down, and snatched the cigarette from his fingers, "Bro, why don’t you rest on the bed for a while,"
With his fingers empty, Nathan Moore looked up, "It’s okay, I’m not tired."
Normally unserious, Felix Shaw was equally serious at this moment, "Bro, the youngest is right, you should go lie down and rest a bit to conserve your energy. The three of us brothers have quite a physical ordeal ahead."
The thought of crashing an engagement party was thrilling.
Giving his brothers a light glance, Nathan Moore still got up and walked toward the large bed inside. As he laid down sideways on the bed, his wound was pulled, and he grimaced in pain with a hiss.
Outside the suite, Felix Shaw and Evander Lancaster sat down on the sofa. Both holding their cigarettes, "Youngest, how can that old man be so stubborn? Our third brother and sister-in-law are already married, how dare he give his granddaughter away? That’s bigamy..."
Evander Lancaster coldly scoffed, "Stubborn old man’s world, how would we understand!"
Felix Shaw took another puff of his cigarette and exhaled halfway when he suddenly thought of something and turned back.
"Do you think that guy feels completely justified kidnapping someone else’s wife?"
Evander Lancaster glanced over, "How would I know." In this vast world, weirdos are everywhere.
"Hey, I just thought of an idea," Felix Shaw was about to take another puff when he suddenly paused, "Let elder brother give the media a heads-up, expose the old stubborn’s actions to the public, stir up the public opinion, and when it grows big enough, higher-ups will have to intervene. By then, the stubborn old man wouldn’t dare interfere anymore, and he might even be used as a negative example and stripped of his ’D’ registration, reported in newspapers and news."
Evander Lancaster looked disparagingly, "If this method worked, our second brother would have done it long ago."
"Why wouldn’t it work?" asked Felix Shaw confusedly, but was met with a disdaining look from Evander Lancaster.
"Our sister-in-law’s grandfather is in politics, causing a public uproar would implicate their entire Zane Family!"
