CHAPTER 242: CHAPTER 242: A STORM IS BREWING...

Benjamin Parker tapped his forehead, "Oh right, how could I forget Uncle Galan."

With that, Benjamin found Neal Galan’s number and dialed it.

The phone rang a few times before Neal answered, "Hey, kiddo."

Hearing Neal’s voice, Benjamin sighed in relief, "Uncle Galan, where’s my mom? Why isn’t she picking up her phone?"

At that time, Neal’s car had already reached the Galan Estate.

Hearing Benjamin’s question, he spoke in a low voice, "Kiddo, there’s been a situation. Melody was taken to Y Country by my father. But don’t worry, Uncle Galan is here in Y Country now and I’ll make sure to bring Melody back safely."

Upon hearing this, Benjamin panicked, "Uncle Galan, why did your father take Melody away?"

Neal’s eyes were cold, but his voice remained gentle, "He probably just wants to meet her."

After saying this, Neal gently but firmly assured him, "Kiddo, you don’t need to worry. With Uncle Galan here, nothing will happen to Melody."

Since Uncle Galan’s father only wanted to meet Melody, there shouldn’t be any issues.

Besides, over the years, Benjamin had become accustomed to trusting Neal.

But Benjamin already knew that Neal had a tyrant father.

And he knew a bit about the Galan Estate, Neal had no feelings for that family.

"Okay, Uncle Galan, I trust you." Benjamin finally felt reassured, but before hanging up, he remembered to say, "Uncle Galan, once you find Melody, have her call me back."

Neal agreed in a deep voice, "Don’t worry kiddo, I’ll make sure she calls you within an hour."

After hanging up, Neal strode into the Galan Estate.

Soon after, Barrett Carter located Melody Parker’s phone, which was surprisingly at a restaurant in Fland.

After hearing Barrett’s report, Benjamin thought of Neal’s words and didn’t mind about the phone.

As long as Neal was around, he believed his mom would be okay.

Many adult matters needed to be handled by them.

He then looked at Daniel, "Brother, mom was taken to Y Country by Uncle Galan’s father. But you don’t need to worry, Uncle Galan went too. And Uncle Galan just promised me she’d call back within an hour."

Daniel nodded, "Okay."

But thinking that his mom was taken by someone with the last name Galan, Daniel couldn’t help but worry more.

He worried whether this was a meet-the-parents situation for Melody, and what would happen to Dad?

Had mom really given up on Dad this time?

Thinking about it, Daniel took out his little phone and sent a WeChat message to Adrian.

{Dad, mom went to meet the parents with the Galan guy.}

At that time, Adrian was in a meeting at the Davies Group.

Seeing the message from Daniel, he opened it directly.

Seeing the content, his face immediately darkened, a storm was brewing.

The subordinate reporting the work was so frightened that he immediately fell silent, not daring to make a sound, thinking he must have said something wrong, causing the CEO to get angry.

Adrian stood up from his chair with a whoosh.

The force of him standing was so strong that the chair fell straight to the ground due to the backward force.

With a loud bang, it startled all the executives in the office, making their hearts jump, afraid to move.

However, Adrian didn’t even glance at them, just walked out with a murderous chill.

He coldly instructed Tyler Dormer, "End the meeting, prepare a helicopter, head to Fland immediately."

...

In the hotel in Y Country, Melody Parker was still stuck on the fact that Neal Galan was her only destiny, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Neal understood that it was normal for Melody to not accept it right away.

After all, this matter was too unbelievable.

But no matter how unbelievable, it was still a fact.

Melody would eventually have to accept it.

He looked at Melody, speaking pamperingly, "Melody, knowing you were brought to Y Country, I rushed here to find you and left your phone at the previous restaurant. Before finding you, Benjamin couldn’t reach you and called me, worried about your situation. I promised him you would call him back within an hour."

As he spoke, Neal handed his phone to Melody, "Now, call him back."

Melody didn’t take Neal’s phone but stood up from her seat, "I’ll just call him from the room phone."

Neal didn’t insist, "Alright, I’ll walk you to your room."

Melody nodded, "Mm."

Then, the two left the hotel restaurant and took the elevator to the reserved hotel room.

When Neal escorted Melody to her room door, he looked at her affectionately and gently said, "Melody, my room is right next to yours. If you need anything, you can come find me anytime. We’ll head back first thing in the morning."

"Okay." Melody replied, looking at Neal, "Neal, it’s late. You should rest early too."

After saying this, Melody turned, swiped her card to open the hotel room door, and went in.

Seeing Melody enter her room, Neal turned and went to the adjacent room, also swiping the card to enter.

But just as he entered, not having had time to sit down, the doorbell rang.

Neal went to open the door.

Standing outside was a female official, whom he recognized as Mrs. Amelia, a close aide of the Queen.

Seeing Neal, Mrs. Amelia respectfully bowed, "Mr. Alston, greetings. The Queen requests your presence."

Neal furrowed his brows slightly, "What does the Queen want with me?"

"The Queen heard you returned and sent me to invite you," Mrs. Amelia respectfully replied, adding, "Perhaps it’s been too long since she last saw you, Mr. Alston. The Queen may be missing you."

Though he wasn’t the son of the Queen’s daughter, the third princess of the royal family,

Over these years, the Queen treated him dearly, as if seeing him as a true grandson.

Neal nodded, glanced at Melody’s room once more, thought about it being a hotel under his name, and believed nothing bad would happen to Melody here.

"Let’s go."

With that, Neal followed Mrs. Amelia and left the hotel, heading to meet the Queen.

Meanwhile, in Melody’s room.

As soon as she returned, she sat there blankly.

Originally, because of Bella Sutton’s matter, she had considered leaving Adrian and living alone with her child.

But now hearing Neal was her one true destiny and the one destined to be entwined with her for life, why did it suddenly hurt so much inside?

She even hoped it was all a mistake, hoping Adrian was the true destined fate.
