“What’s going on?” Carl shouted.

“Damn it! Our server was hacked!” Damian panicked.

But soon, Carl said ecstatically, “Oh yeah, since that woman appeared, Mr. Lambert seems to have forgotten about us. Now we can go home.”

Damian scratched his head and asked, “Then we don’t have to fix it, do we?”

Carl was about to slap Damian again.

“Why should we? That woman has arrived in Zerivia. What’s the use of the surveillance now?”

“Oh. Then we won’t fix it?” Damian said.

Seeing that Carl was about to slap him again, Damian hurriedly put the phone into Carl’s hand.

“Carl, it’s Mr. Lambert!”

The kids boarded a plane from Solustria to Zerivia.

Edward looked solemn. Ethan looked relaxed, and Elias was eating a lollipop with a wicked smile..

Edward took away the lollipop in Elias” mouth.

“Elias, what did you do just now?” Edward asked.

“Nothing!”

Elias smiled, stretched out his hand, and took the lollipop back. Then he began to enjoy it contentedly.

“Don’t think I haven’t seen it! You hacked some server again! Mommy told you not to stir up trouble,” Edward said sternly.

“Edward, I was not stir up trouble this time. It was weird in the lounge just now. Someone was peeking at us,” Elias whispered.

Hearing this, Ethan showed a boastful smile.

“What’s so weird about it? That person must be secretly appreciating my beauty. You two just look so similar to me!” Ethan said.

Elias retorted, “No, we don’t resemble each other that much. I have a mole under the corner of my eye, but you two don’t. Edward has a mole on his right toe thumb, and Ethan has one on his left toe thumb. I don’t have moles on my toes.

Edward could only shake his head and sigh. He knew that his brothers were on to their next round of the ‘who’s the cutest‘ debate.

At the same time, Melanie had gotten the news that the three little ones had sneaked out of the

island. She was upset, but she could only order Gary to clean up the house to welcome the kids.

Several days later, as soon as Melanie arrived at Rising Star, Angie brought coffee in.

“Melanie, your dear father has come three times. It seems that he’s not gonna leave this time,” said Angie.

“Well, he’s anxious…” Melanie said.

She smiled and took a sip of coffee..

“That’s right. How dare he go out after what happened last night?” Angie sneered and said.

Melanie took the tablet and looked through it for a while. Then she snorted and said, “Yeah…”

Last night, a scandal broke out at the engagement party between Vanessa, the daughter of a famous art dealer, and Ryan, the eldest son of the Smith family.

It was said that the studio was out of control.

On the big screen, which had been playing music, Vanessa was wearing a wedding dress and kissing William Smith, the third son of the Smith family.

What was even more shocking was that it wasn’t a snapshot, but a live broadcast.

At that time, the people at the party were in chaos, and the live streaming scene on the screen was even more shocking.

The engagement party ended before it even started.

The engagement between the Robertson family and the Smith family became the hottest news of the year in Zerivia.

Vanessa suddenly became a famous slut in Beloris, and everyone despised her.

Moreover, the news that Steve’s biological daughter had returned home and become the CEO of Rising Star was also very popular.

A lot of people made fun of Steve that he treated his stepdaughter better than his biological daughter.

Everyone was discussing the matter anyway.

“I wonder what he will do next,” said Melanie..

Then she closed the tablet and got up with a smile, saying, “Let’s invite my dear father in…”

It was the second time Melanie and Steve had met since she came back.

Melanie couldn’t figure out how Steve could act like nothing had happened.

His own daughter had disappeared for seven years, and he didn’t care about what had happened during that period.

Steve didn’t seem to care about the

past.

He said lightheartedly, “Mela, let’s forget about the past and live happily together.”

Steve tried his best to ease the past. Did he still perceive Melanie as the naive girl who was unaware of everything?

But this time, Melanie didn’t expect Steve’s intention of coming to her again.

“Mela, you’re back now. You’d better move back home. Your mother and sister miss you very much,” Steve said as soon as he entered Melanie’s office.

Did Steve think Tracy and Vanessa were Melanie’s mother and sister?

Hearing Steve’s words, Melanie felt disgusted.

“My mother’s name is Sherry. She has been dead for 17 years,” Melanie said coldly.

Hearing this, Steve looked gloomy.

But he soon squeezed out a smile.

“Fine, Tracy wants you to move back home!”

Melanie sneered in her heart and thought, ‘They want me to move back home? What are they planning again?”

“Tracy and Vanessa both want you to move back home!” Steve looked eager.

“Since they want me to go back, I will move home tonight.” Melanie suppressed the sneer in her heart.

Seeing that Melanie had agreed, Steve was excited.

“I’ll ask the chauffeur to pick you up tonight. Go home early for dinner,” said Steve.

“Okay.”

Melanie watched Steve drive away happily, but her heart grew colder and colder.

Was Steve a compassionate or callous father?

He was in such a hurry to let Melanie go home. Was it because he really wanted to mend the relationship between him and Melanie?

In the afternoon, the Robertson family’s car arrived downstairs at Rising Star. It seemed that Steve was afraid that Melanie would regret her promise of going home.
