NovelEnglishChapter 699 The surroundings were silent at night, with only the street lights glowing
outside. There were almost no cars or pedestrians.
It was a peaceful
country, but due to its close proximity to Hestia Border, its perimeter had become very unstable. Street
robberies always happened there.
When Adina stood on the balcony, she personally saw two adult men being stopped before their
bags were snatched.
The place was a real mess. No wonder the news always urged travelers not to travel there.
She stood in front of the window while she
contemplated. A long while later, the living room became completely quiet as she collected herself.
The four children must have gone to sleep, but she could not sleep.
She had insomnia all night, but she still had to pull herself together to hear the news the next day.
“Addy, my dad just sent me an invitation card.” Flint walked in excitedly. “This is an annual
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbusiness recruitment meeting in the neighboring country. Morton
Corporation has been approved to enter the venue.”
Adina turned around. “Congratulations . You can finally
help your dad do something.” “Addy, do you think my dad‘s business would make
me this happy?” Flint schooled his expression
and said, “I‘ve discovered that the Black Party will also send
some people to attend this business recruitment meeting. Their goal is to obtain the reconstruction
project involving the neighboring small town. The investment in this project is huge, so the
Black Party will definitely send their
executives over. We can take this chance to approach these executives.”
Adina‘s black eyes lit up.
She had been feeling depressed after failing to meet Terry North today, and she had also
been planning for the next opportunity.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity came to her so soon. The two of them kept their voices low as they discu
ssed the details they needed to pay attention to at the banquet tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the children were not asleep in the study. They sat on the carpet with several large
stacks of documents in front of them. Alden flipped through the documents as he said, “These are the
lists of all the local Astroysians. We have to look through them carefully. We
might be able to find clues.”
Harold pouted. “This area is so small. It‘s not even half
the size of Sea City. Why are there so many Astroysians entering and leaving in a month?”
“Because this place is full of sin. The most lucrative and profitable industries are here, so it‘s attracted c
ountless people from all over the world to take the risk
and make money,” George lowered his head and explained indifferently.
As time passed slowly, Melody flipped through one book after another, yet she could
not find that familiar name.

“Daddy doesn‘t know that we‘re here,” Harold simply said.
“Then we should go back to Sea City.” Melody sniffed and said, “Does Daddy not want us anymore? Is
that why he refuses to go back to Sea City?”
Alden frowned and looked George in the eyes.
Although their mom did not make it
clear, they had already guessed a possibility: Their dad might not be alive.
But their mom was so sure that their dad would return.
As such, they were also willing to believe that their dad was still alive.
But why had he not come to them over the past month?
Was he unable to do so, or was he restricted by others?
“The army,” George softly said. “Everyone in the army here has had
their personal freedom restricted. If Daddy‘s been forced to join the army, he might not be able to
escape.”
