“Huh?”
Zoey was dumbfounded by his request.
Is it too late?
What is he talking about?
Zoey could not get her head around what was happening.
Dale denied her help back when she was going through the hardest time, but now, there was a total change in
attitude on his side.
Just when Zoey was about to agree to his request, the old man let out a sigh. “It’s okay. I know I don’t have what it
takes to be your godfather. I know you’re disappointed in me. It’s okay. I’m just here to see how you’re doing. I
should not covet anything else.”
It was true that Dale should not wish for more. He did not dare to.
If Zoey became his god-daughter, this would mean Levi had to address him as his god-father too.
He did not have the guts to do such a thing.
Dale lowered his head and turned to leave, leaving Zoey looking at him, confused.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat on earth is going on?
This was not the only thing that puzzled Zoey. She was aware that some of the most prestigious families in Oakland
City were here in North Hampton.
Even the Garrisons were here.
“Don’t tell me this is about Evie changing her family name. Meredith told them about it already?”
With that thought in mind, Zoey dashed home to see if everything was fine.
“I’m sure the Garrisons are here for Evie,” she told Levi when she saw him at home.
“So what? They can’t do anything to us.”
Levi was totally unfazed when he heard Zoey. He turned away and continued counting the number of airplanes in
the sky with Forlevia.
“Are you not worried at all?” Zoey questions anxiously, “It’s okay. I can still turn to God-father if something happens.
The Garrisons will at least listen to him.”
In hindsight, Zoey was grateful that Dale came to her and extended an olive branch.
She dismissed her worry and nodded hopefully.
Unlike her, Levi did not take this to heart at all.
To him, those people were nothing more than just a swarm of pests.
While traffic was bustling in North Hampton, people back at the Garrison family’s manor were beginning to get
restless too.
Joseph, Ben, and Winnie were all wondering about the sudden change in the city.
In the meantime, Bryan and Victoria, who had been commissioned to get to the bottom of this, were especially
vexed.
“This is so frustrating. I can’t seem to get any news about what’s going on.”
Just as the couple was trying to find means to get hold of more information, deafening blasts of honks resounded
outside the manor.
Everyone rushed out at the noise only to see a few dozens of cars parked outside the gate.
An old man came down from one of the vehicles, and a few other people quickly attended to him as he got off.
“It’s Elder Teneb from Oakland City!” Joseph blurted out in surprise.
Everyone else with him was stunned too.
It was true that the Garrison family was part of the Garrison clan, but for Teneb to come her himself was too out of
the blue for everyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoseph knelt down and greeted the old man as he approached.
“It’s a privilege to have you here, Elder Teneb. How can the Garrison family be of assistance?”
The elderly man nodded and went straight to the point. “I need you to prepare a capacious venue that can house a
huge crowd. Also, ask Levi and Forlevia to come over.”
“We’ll see to it right away,” Joseph replied servilely before turning toward Bryan. “Get going.”
Everyone in the Garrison family was fidgety with the unannounced arrival of key figures from the Garrison clan.
Teneb’s solemn expression said it all. Everyone thought the elder must be here to put Levi in his place, but they got
it all wrong.
Bryan and Victoria swiftly arranged for a spacious meeting room that could house thousands of people.
After that, they went to look for Levi.
They goaded him the moment they saw the crippled man.
“You’re in for it this time, Levi. Elder Teneb wants to see you.”
They were delighted because they thought the clan was here to put Levi down a peg or two.
The reckoning they had been coveting finally arrived.
