Chapter 1056



.

Not only did Nora save these people, but she also had Pete make an appeal to the public.

If anyone found themselves in a similar situation and wanted to go home, they could ask Karl’s security company for help, then they would pick them up and take them home.

Pete made things work very well.

After all, he’s very popular in international student circles.

And when Pete came back this time, he had no intention of going overseas again; he took over the Hunt Group directly.

On the day he officially became the man in charge of the Hunt Group, the family organized a handover ceremony for him, and to show their support, the whole Smith Family attended.

Ian, who could now walk without a wheelchair, picked up his cane and patted Pete on the shoulder. “You’re even better than Grandpa, back then I was twenty years old before I took over the company!”

Xanderse laughed beside him, “But I really envy you.”

Ian smiled, “Envious of what?”

“Envious that you have such fine grandchildren, and three of them!”

Ian: “……”

Pete: “……”

Even if this guy congratulated Pete, he even congratulated himself too, what a stinker and narcissist.

Pete looked at him and smiled, “You’re going to England tomorrow, aren’t you.”

“Hmm. What, you’ll miss me? We’re all brothers, crying is too girly!”

Xander opened his mouth in disdain.

The best stories are at gⱯlnσν𝒆𝓁s․𝒄𝗈𝗆 Pete: “…… I was thinking you’d bring someone with you when you got back.”

“Who?”

Xander was confused.

Pete smiled mysteriously, “It’s nothing.”

He couldn’t just reveal his mother’s thoughts.

Seeing him like this, Xander rolled his eyes, “Being secretive again is no fun.”

After saying that, he turned his head and saw Mia dozing on the couch next to him, he couldn’t help but nod his chin at Pete, then walked over and was about to tease Mia from behind when his outstretched hand was grabbed by Pete.

Xander: “What’s wrong?”

Pete: “She doesn’t get enough sleep from going over her problems every day, she couldn’t relax easily tonight, so don’t bother her.”

Xander: “I just want to tease her, why are you so upset?”

What’s it to you?

Pete suddenly coughed, “Don’t talk nonsense, isn’t she your cousin?”

Xander brushed his lips, “She’s a cousin, in contrast Lucy has been weak since she was little, she’s no fun at all, she’s not funny.”

Pete: “…… Lucy is not weak.”

That little princess, as a child, was as fit as a small fruit!

Xander smiled, “I know, so wait, I’ll start bullying her when I get to England.”

Pete: “?”

Xander raised his eyebrows, “I’ll bully her and make her cry, once she complains, won’t I get the Queen back?”

“……”

Pete directed a self-satisfied smirk at him.

Xander didn’t understand and turned to walk away.

As he left, Pete was about to walk away when he saw Mia’s eyelashes flutter and froze.

Since the last time they had returned, the two of them had been together during this period of time, but Mia had never come to him, and whenever the two families got together for dinner, they used the excuse of having to study to not show up.

It was the first time they had been alone together since his return.

He asked, “Wake up?”

Mia’s eyes widened, and she suddenly lowered her head, “Pete, am I useless?”

Pete instantly understood what she was thinking.

Within the last operation, she hadn’t done anything special, and had been compliant from start to finish, running for her life, which had caused Mia a serious sense of frustration.

She felt she was useless, worthless, and not worthy of Pete at all.

That’s why, for some time now, she hadn’t dared to see him.

Mia was really going to go crazy.

The more she tried to hold back her thoughts, the more she couldn’t help thinking about Pete.

Even at the moment she heard his name, her heart unconsciously beat faster ……

But when she saw him, she was terrified and afraid.

As she was thinking about it, Pete slowly squatted down in front of her, and suddenly opened his mouth, “Mia, do you know? Last time, it was actually you who was the main cause of the incident.”

Mia was stunned, “Why?”

Pete smiled, “Because I just felt calmer when I sent you the message. I knew you’d be harping on Mom and Dad to save me.

In this world, you’re the one who cares about me the most.”
