Chapter 974: Chapter 947 Who is causing trouble? Chapter 974: Chapter 947 Who is causing trouble? “The airplane won't be able to come until tomorrow night; it's currently flying overseas.”
Aka's eyes squinted into little beans once more; she found having a boss who spoke in half-truths absolutely infuriating!
“So I'm going to miss Mrs. Kiara's wedding?!”
The regret was immense!
Aka felt she couldn't bear it.
Mrs. Kiara was the first friend she had made since coming here! How could she not be there for her friend's wedding?
Yuzo Joel thought of the message he had received and a big, beaming smile spread across his face.
“Hehe~”
Aka shivered.
“Boss, my experience tells me that when you smile so creepily, nothing good happens!”
“Who says? This time I know something good, a huge piece of good news!”
“What is it?”
“Tomorrow's wedding, you can't make it.”
… She really wanted to hit him. How could he call this a good thing?
But the next thing Yuzo Joel said made Aka's jaw drop in surprise.
“Boss, are you saying… tomorrow's wedding?!”
“Right, the message I received says so. Isn't it a huge piece of good news?” Hehe, Yuzo Joel felt triumphant at the thought of the Green Military Dog Clan being chased and beaten by Kiara.
Kiara was unaware of what had happened with Yuzo Joel; after dealing with Jojo Father's stuff, she happily headed to the hotel.
She made sure the banquet went well with her family, though she hardly ate anything herself, just following her mother around and smiling goofily at the tables.
After the banquet was over and all the guests had been seen off, she laid, exhausted, on the sofa at home, unable to move, craving some noodles.
“Mom, do we have any food at home?”
Kiara's mother, knowing her daughter hadn't eaten, hurried into the kitchen to make noodles, but couldn't help scolding her out of habit.
“You're such a big girl, about to get married, someday to become a mother, and you can't even cook! If someday Edward gets tired of you, don't you come running back to your mother's house!”
“If I get divorced, then, Mom, you can support me!” Kiara teased back.
Kiara's mother stopped, turned around, and glared at her. “You'll be like water poured out! If he dares send you back, I'll dare to scratch him!”
There was an unmistakable undertone: I may complain about my daughter, but no one else gets to.
Kiara saw her phone ringing. She picked it up and, feeling smug, waved it at her mother.
“He's calling. Wanna scratch him?”
“Off with you–go be lovey-dovey somewhere else. I'm telling you, it's fine to talk on the phone, but absolutely do not sneak out to meet him, understand?”
“Got it, got it. Go make the noodles. And remember to add some large shrimp and scallops for me! That's how Camden used to make noodles for me, and I want a runny-centered pouched egg!”
“Spoiled rotten, with your bad habits! I'll just plunk an egg on top of some plain boiled noodles. Take it or leave it!”
Kiara pouted and answered the phone.
“Hello, husband~”
His light laughter came from the other end.
“Is the banquet over?”
“Yeah, everyone else was stuffing their faces while I just stood there smiling like an idiot. I had to go around toasting with my mom, got full on soft drinks, and came back home starving for some noodles. My mom is torturing me with plain boiled noodles.”
She really missed the lovingly prepared noodles Camden used to make for her.
“Don't ramble on about her! This girl has been spoiled by you; she doesn't even act like a person anymore! Edward, from tomorrow on, she'll be your responsibility, and if she makes any trouble at home, you tell me, and I'll scold her!” Kiara's mother popped her head out of the kitchen and shouted at the top of her lungs.
Kiara made a face at her, “My Camden would hate to criticize me.”
Over there, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Today, Kiara is in such a good mood that she's becoming cheeky.
“Don't make Mom angry, be good. Eat a bit, and I'll cook for you tomorrow,” he said.
She truly is his treasured darling; they haven't even let her cook since being together. Apart from doting on her, Camden also feels for his kitchen appliances, which were quite expensive–having them blown up would be such a waste…
“What are you doing at home?”
“This morning, our home's elder brother and I checked out the venue, finalized some wedding details. I'm heading out later to have drinks with Zeke Sean and the others.”
Before a wedding, there must always be such a drinking session. Mario Yuno's childhood friends are now in various industries, most of whom are doing quite well. It's not easy for them to reunite from all corners of the world. Successful people tend to marry late. At 28, Camden is actually one of the first in his circle of friends to tie the knot, so everyone wants to take this opportunity to gather around.
Kiara expressed satisfaction with such proactive disclosure of plans.
“That's enough drinking; don't let it affect the big day tomorrow. Don't drive home yourself; get someone else to do it,” she instructed.
“Yes, Mrs. Kiara, I will listen to my dear wife. Don't worry, I won't let anything delay tomorrow's wedding.”
“You better keep your promises, understand?” Kiara commanded imposingly.
Kiara's mother stuck her head out of the kitchen and saw her daughter sitting cross-legged, bossing her fiance around on the phone like a queen, and just shook her head.
Father Johnson entered the kitchen to get water, and Kiara's mother grabbed him.
“Mr. Roy!”
“What's up? Want me to peel some garlic or onions?”
“Not that! It's about Edward!”
“Oh no, can't handle that,” Father Johnson joked with a touch of humor.
“You think he would dare to fight back? After all, he is our soon-to-be son-in-law–no, I mean, look at that mischievous girl outside!”
Kiara's mother pointed at Kiara, who was still on the phone, acting like she was giving orders to a leader.
“What's wrong with that?” Father Johnson didn't see anything amiss; instead, he noticed the water in the pot had started to boil.
“Hurry up and cook the noodles; our girl's been hungry all day.”
“I worry about her… Who does Kiara take after with that temper of hers? She acts like the Empress Dowager, not gentle at all, just short of issuing decrees.”
Lately, Kiara's mother had been watching historical dramas about the Empress Dowager.
“How is that possible? Our Kiara, if born in ancient times, would be like Isabel Clarke. She would govern on her own. How could she just issue decrees?”
“I really worry that one day Edward can't stand her temper… Really, I wonder who she takes after…”
Kiara's mother threw the noodles into the pot, muttering to herself as she watched the steam rise.
In a confidential meeting room somewhere, an emergency meeting was underway.
Due to a significant case, representatives from various sectors had gathered, casting a grave atmosphere.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Yuzo Joel walked in with Aka.
A following leader took the stage to introduce him.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is our external support, the internationally renowned authority from the Psychiatry Department, the famous Psychological Expert, Mr. Yuzo Joel. We have invited him to perform a criminal psychology analysis for the investigation of this major inter-provincial serial case.”
If a criminal psychology expert is brought in, it's undoubtedly no small matter.
Yuzo Joel went onstage and nodded to everyone present.
“After our meticulous assessment, we've concluded the fugitive poses a high threat to society with his high IQ. Based on his psychological profile, I believe his likely hideout is Linville.”
