Chapter 796 Finnley Returned Speak of the devil--there came Alfie.
While he walking towards the desk, Ivan stood up.
"Good day, Master Alfie," two men bowed at him respectfully, still looking tall.
"Good day," Alfie replied politely.
He passed a lunchbox to Ivan. "They are all yours, Daddy. Diana also sent a portion to Mommy." "Thank you, son." Ivan was delighted. He poked Alfie's nose tip, put down the lunchbox, and lifted the boy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOne subordinate reminded him, "We'll leave the USB disk to you, then. Please excuse us." Then he turned away.
The other men bowed at Ivan and followed suit.
Pressing his chin on Ivan's shoulder, Alfie watched them leave and asked, "What USB disk, Daddy?" Ivan felt slightly embarrassed, as he seemed too lame compared to his talented son.
"Well..." Ivan thought for a moment, put Alfie down, and picked up a USB disk from the desk. Then he continued, "There are essential data in this disk. Leslie Eastwood's criminal evidence. However, it's hard to tell how long it can be saved." Alfie looked at him with interest and glanced at other USB disks. "How about others?" "Those were the backups. The information disappears every five minutes somehow, so | can't pass the disk to the police.” Alfie got what he meant and remarked affirmatively, "That's high-tech. If you copied the information for certain times, the data in the original USB disk would vanish, too." "So, do you have any solutions?" Ivan stared at him, leaning against the desk while holding his arms across his chest.
Alfie frowned. "I can have a try, but it takes time. Can you give me all the USB disks?" "Can you do it in my office instead of taking them back home?" Ivan was concerned. If his son took such significant evidence away, he feared Alfie would become a target.
Alfie nodded his agreement. "No problem. Drink the soup. It'll get cold." He opened the lunchbox for his father.
The chicken broth's fragrance spread in the air.
Meanwhile, Finnley's car had left Arkpool City, arriving in Jacksonville soon.
He hadn't returned home for several years but had been watching his family. Claire Russell updated him about their family status weakly.
The Calder elders frequently visited the Russell family in the past few days. Also, they helped them organize the birthday banquet of Finnley's grandfather, aiming to unite the Russell family by marriage.
Claire also mentioned Eloise had returned to Jacksonville.
Therefore, Finnley decided to tell his parents that he wouldn't marry Eloise, no matter what.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile thinking, he heard his phone ringing. Finnley pulled out his phone and saw his father's number, which Claire had told him.
"Hello, Father?" Finnley swiped to answer calmly.
"Finnley, your grandfather's birthday banquet is held today. Will you come back home?" his father said gently and didn’t blame him.
"I'll arrive in Jacksonville soon. Probably in an hour." "OK." His father was delighted. "Be careful when driving." "Ehn." The call ended.
Finnley, however, felt solemn. He could foresee not everyone could be pleased with his grandfather's banquet later.
Although he had to offend the Calder family, he wanted to follow his own will.
In the big yard of Russell's Villa, all the servants and maids were busy decorating the banquet venue.
Like the Calder's, it was located in a quiet area in an expensive part of downtown. The villa was worth at least 200 million dollars.
The Russell family had hired a famous architect to draft and build according to their preferences.
The Russell family was wealthy and influential in Jacksonville.
