Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

“I didn’t just blindly believe her, I saw it with my own eyes. She showed us what she was filming on the spot, and it was exactly the same as the videos she had posted,” Christy Xenos explained.

She thought she was not that stupid to be fooled so easily.

“Really?” Wendy Clarke pondered for a moment, “I can’t deal with her right now. Once I’ve sorted out the restaurant’s business, I’ll take a good look at her videos.”

Previously, she only had a chance to look at some of Cindy Clarke’s recent videos, which didn’t give her much information.

It was also a coincidence that Morgan Zhekova wasn’t featured in any of Cindy Clarke’s recent videos.

Cindy Clarke did not want Morgan Zhekova to appear too often.

Although her old fans knew about Morgan Zhekova.

But even in the past, she never let Morgan Zhekova show her face in the videos.

Just like her, only revealing parts of herself.

For example, a hand, or a mouth alone.

You couldn’t see much.

But even so, Cindy Clarke still tried to minimize Morgan Zhekova’s appearances.

Unless you look at every single video, it’s not easy to come across Morgan Zhekova.

Wendy Clarke has only looked at a few of the recent videos and just skimmed through them.

So, naturally, she was unfamiliar with Morgan Zhekova.

“Once I finish my work, I’ll go through her videos one by one,” Wendy Clarke said.

“Or you keep busy with your stuff, and I can also watch,” said Christy Xenos.

“Can you?” Wendy Clarke was not very confident.

“Rest assured, just let me find her videos, tell me how to operate, and I’ll watch them one by one.” Christy Xenos volunteered.

“I’m so busy here, and I can’t help with the restaurant. For other things, if there’s anything I can do, just let me take care of it.” Christy Xenos assured, patting her chest.

“Alright then.” Wendy Clarke nodded, “This time, you must pay close attention. You can’t just fast-forward or jump due to impatience.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Christy Xenos said, “Can I not do such a small thing well?”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you. But this time when we went to Belfard, I trusted you so much! It never crossed my mind that you would fail to bring back money. I was thinking about sorting out things here as soon as possible and hurry to Belfard to meet you.”

“Who would have thought, not only did you fail to get the money, you even got scared and came back.” Wendy Clarke was angry upon recalling the events, “You even let Dad know about the things from back then. How can I trust you now!”

“Isn’t this… wasn’t this an unexpected situation? Your Dad also doesn’t know what’s the matter with him, he was stunned by Cindy.”

“I was initially afraid that he would be swayed by Cindy, so I always tried to point out Cindy’s faults whenever possible. But this time, he was still persuaded by Cindy.”

“Your dad isn’t really certain this time. He’s always been indecisive. Cindy isn’t here, and with a few of our words, he leans toward our side again. But this time, he’s surprisingly resolute.”

“But you really can rest assured, the Belfard thing was unexpected, it’s because of the variables.” Christy Xenos said, “But watching videos is such a simple matter, there wouldn’t be any unexpected situations.”

Wendy Clarke thought about it, then said nothing more.

“But there’s one thing that your dad makes sense.” Christy Xenos continued.

“What’s the matter?” Wendy Clarke was curious.

Could Joshua Clarke really make valuable suggestions?

“It’s about finding a lawyer.” Christy Xenos told Wendy Clarke what Joshua Clarke had said.

“That’s indeed true.” Wendy Clarke nodded, “I didn’t expect that my dad could actually speak such reasonable words.”

“Yeah, who could have imagined that he actually uses his brain.” Christy Xenos said sarcastically.

“Honestly, I never thought about that aspect. I’ll contact a lawyer tomorrow.” Wendy Clarke stated.

I don’t know much about other places.

But she has managed to mingle with Nork City’s circle of wealthy people for a few years, she is very familiar with which lawyers in Nork City are adept.

Wendy Clarke and Christy Xenos were getting more and more engrossed in their conversation inside the room.

Outside the door, Joshua Clarke’s hand, which was ready to knock, dropped.

He sneered at himself.

So in the eyes of his wife and daughter, he was such an incompetent person.

Well, it’s also true, the family’s current financial status is thanks to the money we got from selling my younger daughter Cindy.

And the continuous income from the restaurant is thanks to my elder daughter, Wendy.

Before this, when he was the one providing for the family, all they had was enough food and clothing.

Anything beyond this isn’t possible.

With a sigh, Joshua Clarke walked away.

He initially intended to have a good chat with Wendy, wanting her to reconcile with Cindy.

As sisters from the same family, why should they be enemies?

And through observing Cindy over the past few days, he knew that Cindy was a smart woman.

Her intelligence might even be superior to Wendy’s.

If the two of them were willing to reconcile, and run the restaurant together, it would surely become more and more successful.

In any case, it would be much better than the current situation.

Moreover, it seems too tough for Cindy to struggle alone outside.

After all, the money originated from Cindy… in exchange.

Letting Cindy come back, allocating some shares of the restaurant similar to stock shares to Cindy, allowing Cindy to live a better life, sounds like a good idea.

Such peace and harmony are what defines a family.

Sisters couldn’t possibly become enemies.

Joshua Clarke came in with the intention to have a good talk with Wendy.

Who would have thought that he would overhear such a conversation between mother and daughter?

He’s incompetent, he admits it.

But his heart still dullly aches.

Which man can bear being called incompetent?

Especially when these words come from his wife and daughter.

All these years, because he was incapable of providing the life his wife and daughter desired, he had always felt somewhat guilty.

As a result, whenever Christy Xenos shouted at him or had a bad attitude towards him in their daily life,

he endured it.

Since he was indeed incompetent, he accepted it.

But carrying this for years on end, he certainly felt somewhat suffocated.

He didn’t know when a tipping point would come, fully unleashing his pent-up emotions.

Today in Belfard, after hearing Cindy’s words, he couldn’t help but hit Christy Xenos.

Apart from being furious about Cindy’s predicament,

probably it was also because of the anger and dissatisfaction accumulated over the years, and feelings of embarrassment that had nowhere to vent.

Today was a good opportunity, so he let it all out.

But the truth is he didn’t vent much today.

How could a few slaps release years of pent-up anger that had reached its tipping point?

He’ll just wait and see when he can’t suppress it any longer.

Joshua Clarke leaned against the wall, returned to his room without uttering a word.

After her chat with Wendy, Christy Xenos also returned to the bedroom.

Upon entering, she saw that Joshua Clarke had already laid down.

He glanced at her indifferently, then turned around and closed his eyes.

Christy Xenos didn’t dare to provoke him much today.
