Maisy’s eyes lit up. It was feasible to hide that person in the White City since Charles was not a citizen
of City B. Then this problem would be solved, right?
Declan wanted to hide that person in Maisy’s home because he thought her home was safe. But hiding
him in the White City was safer than in her home.
Maisy thought Charles had done a great favour to her, “Charles…”
When Maisy prepared to say something to Charles, Alan interrupted his wife in a deep voice, “Are you
muddled-headed?”
He was not angry about Maisy telling Charles about Declan’s matter; instead, he was angry that she
didn't consider the consequences. He looked at his wife seriously, “You’re clear of your brother’s
characteristics. Haven’t you seen the news? Apparently that person is not a good man. But you try to
leave it to Charles. Do you want Charles to get involved in these dirty things?”
Maisy didn't think too much of it just now as she just wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible.
But when hearing her husband’s reminder, she thought of it carefully. It was true that she couldn't leave
that person to Charles because the thing that person did in the temple had caused great attention.
Even Declan couldn't hide him. This matter was definitely not that simple.
She only had a daughter, so she could by no means bring trouble to her daughter and daughter-in-law.
Since Charles only came to City B not long ago, he didn't know what had happened and asked, “I’m not
an outsider. Tell me if you have any problem so that I can give you some advice.”
Alan heaved a long sigh and said to Charles sincerely and earnestly, “You came to City B not long ago,
so you may not know about the situation in the city. This is not the White City. There are many big wits
here and it's very complicated. I don't want to tell you because I don't want you to get involved in those
unnecessary troubles.”
Charles knew that Alan’s words were for the sake of him, but he sincerely wanted to help them.
“Now that I’ve been your daughter-in-law, I will regard myself as a member of the Meyer family. Now,
dad and mom have encountered a problem that bothers you, as Tiana’s husband, how can I just stand
aside? Even if I can't help, dad, mom, please tell me what’s going on. Don't take me as an outsider or a
weak person.”
Alan heaved a long sigh, “Why are you so stubborn?”
Since Charles had said these words, it seemed to be inappropriate if he continued to keep it a secret.
So Alan asked him to read the news.
Charles took out his phone and searched the news according to Alan’s words. Then he quickly found
numerous pieces of news about the temple. A naked man actually appeared in the temple, a place
where enshrined Buddha and required quietness. And that man had many injures. There must be some
inside stories.
“Your fucking brother Declan just wants to put such a dirty thing into our home. How can he think of
such a wicked idea? Alan said in a cold voice.
Charles was still reading the news with his head lowered, but he accidently saw a piece of news about
Matthew and Dolores going shopping in the mall together.
He hesitated for a while and swiped past it. He then continued to read the news about the temple.
“He creates troubles every day. This time he even offended Matthew. Otherwise, he wouldn't have
thought of hiding that person in our home because he can't hide him outside.” Alan didn't want to get
involved in Declan’s matters. But that matter about Declan had caused great attention within the city.
Even though he didn't want to know about his information, he had heard of it.
Charles looked up at Alan and asked, “What's its relationship with Matthew?”
“I’m not clear of the detail either. I just heard some rumours about this matter. It seemed like Declan
caught Matthew’s man and locked the person in the temple. Then the scene you saw on the reports
just now happened. Humph, doesn't want to hand over his friend, nor can he hide him outside.
Therefore, he wants to hide him at our home. He’s so evil! Even though his father had a son at an old
age, he can't pamper him light this. Pampering your son is like killing him. Declan is so unruly and he
will have some big troubles sooner and later.”
Charles was lost in his thought after hearing Alan’s words. Declan caught Matthew’s man. Who had he
caught? Was it Dolores?
A naked man in the temple… Apparently he must be doing something evil. When thinking that the
person he caught was probably Dolores, his eyes turned gloomy. “Dad, after all, Declan is mom’s
brother. If we refuse his request, we will definitely offend him.”
Alan didn't take it seriously, “For such kind of person, we have to offend him sooner or later. It’s good
for us to offend him earlier so that he won't pester us again.”
Maisy was clear of her husband’s quality. If he insisted on leaving Declan alone, it was useless no
matter what she said. She subconsciously heaved a long sigh. The person who would accompany her
for the rest of her life was her husband and she and her brother were just tied by blood. In terms of
deep feelings, of course, she had a deeper feeling towards her husband.
“Charles, it's late now, go to bed early. Listen to your dad’s words and leave this matter alone. It doesn't
matter even though Declan will bear grudges towards me because of this matter later. After all, we
seldom contacted each other over the years and he never showed any respect to me, his sister.”
Charles still wanted to try it. It was not for Matthew, but Dolores.
“Dad, mom, I know you all don't want to have any entanglement with Declan. But after all, he’s your
relative. If I stand aside, people will gossip about it. Anyway, I and Tiana will come back to the White
City soon. Ask Declan to give the person to me and I will bring him to the White City and then randomly
arrange him at a place. No one will find it and it will stop Declan from complaining about anything.”
Alan didn't reply. He still didn't want Charles to get involved in this matter. But apparently, Charles
wanted to help them, which made him feel comforted.
At the moment, Maisy became sorrier for no showing trust to Charles before. Now when they were in
difficulty, he showed great concern for them. His sincerity was really rare.
If Maisy knew about Charles’ real thoughts, would she regret letting her daughter marry him?
“Alan, let’s accept Declan’s request just like what Charles said just now. We can hide him in the White
City but not at our home. In this way, we will not offend Declan. He’s my brother after all. No matter
what, shall we help him this time?” Maisy looked towards her husband gingerly.
If Alan didn't agree, she would have no choice.
Alan still didn't want to accept this. He said, “Charles, do you know what evil things Declan is doing? I
don't want to implicate you. As you said just now, I regard you as a member of my family and you will
accompany Tiana for the rest of her life. I don't want you to have any relationship with Declan. Do you
understand?”
“I know, we’re a family.” Charles also expressed his sincerity.
Seeing that Charles was so sincere, Alan was silent for two seconds. Then he asked, “Are you sure
that you won't get yourself implicated?”
Charles replied confidently, “Of course I’m sure of it.”
Alan didn't like to get involved in these matters. He took a glance at his wife and said, “Call Declan.
Moreover, this is the last time for us to help him. You should take this opportunity and make it clear to
him. Ask him not to contact us again. I feel bothered whenever seeing him. Your dad never restricts
him and even helps him with the wicked deeds. Is this the way to love him? It’s harmful to him!”
“I know.” Maisy patted her husband’s back and said, “You can go to the bed first. I will call him.”
Watching Alan coming back to the bedroom, Maisy took out her phone and then looked towards
Charles, “You can go to have a rest too. I will tell you about the progress tomorrow.”
“I’m not sleepy. I will wait until you finish the call.” Charles said.
Maisy could only dial Declan first. Soon, Declan’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “How’s
the progress? Dear sister, have you told Alan about this.”
“I can't let you hide him at my home, but I can provide you with a place to hide him. Others won't be
able to find him.”
Declan asked hesitantly, “Which place?”
Was there such another safe place in City B that others wouldn't find him?
