My dear lawyer

Alan rarely got angry and always loved Angie, his only daughter, but now he got mad at Angie, which made her shrink back and kept her silent.

Alan saw that and snorted, "Since Mrs. Lucia said that she would cultivate you like her future daughter-in-law, then you should obey her and follow whatever she says. That will benefit you when you marry into the Lu family in the future. After you become the real Mrs. Lu, will you find it hard to retrieve your dignity?"

Angie opened and shut her mouth discontentedly. She wanted to talk, but stopped when she saw Alan's face.

Her eyes drew back slowly. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I see."

Alan felt sorry about this situation, thinking to himself that he had spoiled his child.

But now, it was what it was.

In addition, Alan was afraid of another thing deep inside his heart.

Although he had made so many speculations on William's identity before, it never occurred to Alan that not only was William from the Lu family, he was also a trueborn. It wouldn't be great if the Lu family knew that Angie had married before and also had a child. "Have you handled what happened in Melbourne properly? Are you sure there won't be any potential problems?" Alan said all of a sudden.

Angie was somewhat unwilling to mention that affair, but now she just answered indistinctly, "Dad, don't worry about it. There will be no problem."

That would be great. There were still opportunities!

Alan nodded.

Vanessa saw that the tension between the two had been eased, so she sighed with relief, "Well, you know very well about Angie's personality. She just complains in front of us, but actually, she is quite sensible, so don't worry about her. Angie, don't blame your dad. He was doing that for your own good. Do you understand?"

Angie nodded casually.

Alan remained silent.

When Angie went upstairs to have a rest, Vanessa followed her immediately, hoping that she would teach Angie some skills at pleasing her future mother-in-law.

Alan cast his gaze at the bodyguard Six-ears at the door. Alan had a bright glint in his sparkling eyes.

"Six!" Alan waved his hand.

Six-ears's eyes shone a bit, and he walked up to Alan with a flattering smile, "Director Alan."

Alan nodded, looked at Six-ears, and gave a warm smile, "Have a seat. Make yourself at home."

Six-ears looked at Alan with some imperceptible wariness in his eyes. He made an utmost effort to conceal his mood, and sat down carefully on the sofa.

He had been in the jail, so naturally he wouldn't be afraid to be thrown behind the bars. However, the last time when he had been taken to the police office by that guy William, he had suffered a lot on the way, which could be considered the toughest time during his whole life.

But the most important thing was that he was an outcast now. Although he had been rescued by someone, he had no idea who that person was.

The only thing he knew was that after he had been released, he was arranged to be around with Alan.

He had learned something about Alan.

He was quite discreet, shrewd and ruthless.

And just because of that, he didn't get it even more.

So he could only do everything with caution.

But he would not forget his enemy, William!

Six-ears had a wicked glint in his eyes at this thought.

It was all because of him!

Alan took in every detail of Six-ears' facial expressions. He was sniggering in his mind cunningly and said, "I know you used to be someone influential. You are a capable person, so I feel relieved to have you protect Angie. However, I need you to remember something. I don't care what happened to you before, but now that you're working for me, keep yourself from troubles. Get it?"

Six-ears was stunned.

Alan had him protect Angie, but he had no idea that there was a feud between him and William?

This fact gave his heart a sudden leap, but he nodded instantly, "That's so kind of you, director Alan. It was you who gave me this peaceful life I'm living now, so of course I won't be ungrateful. I will protect Miss Angie in the future, and I won't allow her to be in any kind of danger."

"Well, that's great. Angie's safety depends on you from now on!" Alan nodded, smiling.

How was it possible that Alan knew nothing about the relationship between Six-ears and William! However, just because of that, it offered a double safety for him!

Six-ears, as a pawn, was quite helpful. No wonder Daniel had chosen him.

However, it was a pity that a wise man like him was ruined by his own wisdom.

Vivian got a phone call at 5:30 pm and she tidied herself up a little. John appeared at her home at 6 pm sharp.

"You're so beautiful." When the door opened, John froze for a moment. His eyes revealed that he was totally amazed, so he praised Vivian in admiration.

Vivian was in a baby blue knee-high dress. She had her hair down, which made her look natural and graceful, with a hint of peace and tranquility.

Vivian blushed a bit and didn't dare to meet his gaze, so she moved her eyes away and coughed a little, "Are we leaving now?"

John finally settled back into his concentration, looked aside and nodded, "Yes, let's set off now. My mother just called me, saying that she and my father are at home waiting for us." This was too much!

Vivian was a little nervous, but now she was even tenser.

"Well..." When they stepped out of the door, Vivian couldn't help pulling John's hand.

John turned around confusedly and heard her asking uneasily, "Do I look OK in this?"

John felt funny about it and nodded hard, "Relax. You look great, really great. In fact, I feel quite flattered."

"Well, what does that mean?" Vivian was stunned.

John stood in front of her with a solemn face and said in a serious tone, "Vivian, I really adore the fact that you have dressed up for me. I'm satisfied with it!"

Vivian stared at him blankly. When she made sure that he was really happy and content, she felt sorry instead.

"I'm sorry, John."

John shook his head, as he knew what she meant.

"Vivi, didn't we reach an agreement on this? Don't ever say 'thank you' and 'sorry' to me. I'm more than happy to do this for you." John said to her seriously. Vivian nodded, feeling even more moved and sorry to John.

John stretched out his arm and held her, remaining silent.

Vivian allowed him and didn't resist it.

When they went downstairs, they headed to the He family manor. As the car was travelling, Vivian got more nervous.

Her fingers knotted above her dress. Her slightly made-up face showed a sign of tension.

This kind of tension reached its peak when the car went into the community the He family manor was in.

Suddenly, John reached out his hand and held hers tight.

Vivian turned around and looked at John. He said, "Don't be panic. Everything will be fine."

Vivian puckered her lips and nodded slowly under his serious gaze.

She believed him.
