Chapter 671: Chapter 671: You Are Really Skilled

However, she wasn’t worried that something could have happened to Morgan.

Adrian Zhekova was quite measured in his actions.

If Morgan was truly in trouble, Adrian Zhekova wouldn’t waste any time.

But since he brought it up now, it must be something quite important.

Apparently, it was important but not urgent.

Therefore, Cindy Clarke only felt surprised, not anxious.

As he took note of Cindy’s reaction, Adrian Zhekova nonchalantly said, “Your parents and Wendy Clarke have gone to the family mansion. Morgan just gave me a call to tell me about it.”

Upon hearing this, Cindy immediately became anxious, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? Let’s go over there, quickly!”

“No need to rush, they must be having their talks by now. Besides, with Old Madam and Old Master present, do you think your family trio could achieve anything?” Adrian Zhekova wasn’t in a hurry at all.

“I feel like I should be the one to handle the mess I’ve created, not leaving it to Old Madam and Old Master.” Cindy felt guilty for pushing her problems onto them.

“You’re part of the Zhekova Family now, so your issues are our entire family’s issues.” Adrian Zhekova held her hand.

“Our family is here to help you in these situations. You’re not alone.”, Adrian Zhekova comforted her, “You’ve been holding up alone for all these years, now just relax and enjoy knowing there is someone to solve your problems.”

His words made Cindy feel protected, surrounded by warmth and love, without any fear.

“I was actually hoping to have a full day date with you today. There’s still plenty of time left after watching the movie.” Adrian Zhekova said, “We could have had a wonderful day together.”

Who knew that the Clarke trio decided to go to the family mansion today of all days.

That spoiled their plans.

Adrian Zhekova suggested, “How about we just ignore them and enjoy our day?”

They could just go on with their date as planned.

After all, if Old Madam and Old Master are there, the Clarke trio wouldn’t be able to cause any significant mischief.

Adrian Zhekova heartlessly thought.

Fortunately, Old Madam and Old Master were far away at the family mansion and had no idea about what he was thinking.

Otherwise, Old Madam would surely brandish her long-retired feather duster and whip him for being an ungrateful grandson.

Of course, Cindy Clarke refuted Adrian’s suggestion.

To tell the truth, when Adrian suggested it, he didn’t even think Cindy would agree.

So, with a sense of regret, he accompanied Cindy back to the family mansion.

***

Back at the family mansion, the time has come back to when the Clarke trio had just entered the Main Hall.

Morgan swiftly ordered someone to place a walkie-talkie in the hall.

All the bodyguards in the family mansion were covert guards repositioned here.

They swore their loyalty to their employer, forming quite the lean yet valuable team from Lanarn Training Ground to the family mansion.

Hence, when Morgan requested, one of them enthusiastically recommended, “Walkie-talkies don’t have very clear sound, and they are quite noticeable because of their size.”

“Young Master, take a look at this.” The bodyguard pulled out a tiny CCTV.

“I’m going to place this inside, and you take this.” The bodyguard further pulled out a mobile-phone-sized screen.

“You can watch live feed in any room.” The bodyguard told him, “A clear view with clear sound.”

“You really know your stuff!” Morgan gave him a thumbs-up and then carried the small tablet to his own room in the mansion.

The signal reception was excellent, so it didn’t matter if the range between him and the device was too wide to hear clearly.

Moreover, his room was fairly close to the Main Hall.

When Aunt Evans was instructed by Old Madam and Old Master to prepare a room for Morgan, they made sure to select a room that was bright, sunny, had a great view, and was close to them so they could always keep an eye on him.

Aside from the Old Master and Old Madam’s room, his room had the best location in the entire mansion.

At first, Old Madam and Old Master were planning on giving their own room to the boy.

Of course, Cindy Clarke didn’t agree to it.

And the boy also said that he would find it rather desolate to live in such a big room all by himself.

Moreover, how could they trouble Old Madam and Old Master to go through all the trouble of moving rooms?

Although it was just one room, it came with an independent courtyard.

After all, the family mansion was a large house with five courtyards.

Very often, each room came with its own independent small courtyard.

Morgan’s room was no exception.

They even let Morgan decorate the courtyard according to his liking.

Since Morgan wasn’t mature enough to appreciate ancient elegance and sophistication, he took Old Master to the shopping mall and bought a few life-sized figures of Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, and others. These figures were placed in his courtyard as if they were statues safeguarding the home.

He also bought a Lego Disney Toy Train, which he arranged in a circle against the wall enclosing the courtyard.

The train tracks were additionally purchased by Morgan who had to convince Old Master to buy a lot more. The toy set in its original form didn’t have enough tracks.

Furthermore, he also purchased roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and more.

He spared no effort in turning his courtyard into a miniature amusement park.

Despite being such an ancient and sophisticated mansion, a drastic change in scenery awaited you as soon as you entered Morgan’s courtyard.

If Cindy hadn’t intervened, Old Master was even considering buying Morgan a life-sized Bumblebee model as per his request.

The moment Cindy heard of this, she imagined someone walking outside the mansion, observing its grandeur and antiquity, then suddenly lifting their head and witnessing a towering Bumblebee emerging from one of its courtyards, its head poking above the mansion’s tallest roof.

The sight of this envisioned image was enough to make Cindy’s mouth twitch.

A life-sized Bumblebee might have been smaller than the likes of Optimus Prime but it would still definitely be taller than the mansion walls.

So Cindy hurriedly interrupted them before it was too late.

Otherwise, the mansion would have turned into a peculiar sight in the neighborhood.

Cindy made Morgan promise to place anything he wanted in the courtyard, but the height should never exceed the wall of the yard.

This was the only way to maintain the mansion’s facade.

Although, Cindy also realized that when it came to Morgan, Old Master’s dictionary didn’t contain the word “no”.

As long as Morgan desired it, Old Master would delightfully buy anything for him.

He didn’t even think twice before making a purchase.

At the moment, Morgan sat on his room’s comfy chair, with a tray laid out beside him.

The tray had fruit juice, mixed nuts, and a fruit platter.

With the small tablet in his hands, he was enjoying his meal while watching the ongoings in the Main Hall, as if watching TV.

In the Main Hall sat the Clarke trio on a sofa.

Though Wendy Clarke looked alright, Joshua Clarke and Christy Xenos appeared to be a bit nervous.

They hadn’t expected Old Madam and Old Master to appear so young. Their upkeep was beyond excellent, not showing any signs of aging.

Despite looking their age, they were in fact a generation older.

But, appearing youthful couldn’t hide Old Madam and Old Master’s intimidating aura.

They sat quietly on the opposite side, leaving Joshua Clarke and Christy Xenos feeling uneasy and breathless.
