Ready...

Charlie's body trembled violently. He suddenly raised his head, his deep eyes meeting her amber ones, where he saw a heartfelt smile. His own eyes slowly filled with the same joy.

In fact, long ago, he could have consummated their marriage and become a real couple.

But he wanted someone who could love him wholeheartedly, someone who would stand by his side through thick and thin, not someone who would impulsively mention divorce after a single quarrel or disappointment.

Especially with Andrew in the picture.

Andrew was Nancy's father. Even if he wasn't her biological father, two decades of raising her weren't something that could be dismissed without feelings just because there was no blood relation. And Andrew was Quentin's real brother, which meant he would eventually stand against the Lesser family.

So, Charlie had always been hesitant, constantly weighing his relationship with the Lesser family.

For Nancy's sake, he made many concessions, but he would never let go of his hatred for Eva and Quentin.

And Quentin would not let him go either.

Therefore, he had been waiting, waiting for Nancy to sever ties with the Lesser family. Even if she couldn't, he hoped that no matter what happened, she would stand firmly by his side, even if it meant opposing Andrew, without blaming him.

Now, he believed Nancy was ready. She could do it!

"Good!"

Charlie grabbed Nancy's small hand and held it tightly in his palm. "Nancy, when we get back to Liverton, I'll give you a grand wedding. I want to tell the whole world that you are my wife!"

He had been planning this for a long time.

Nancy was overjoyed. Although she hadn't said it, this matter had always been important to her.

"Okay!"

She smiled so happily that even her amber eyes turned into crescent moons. "No matter what we find out about my mother, no matter the outcome, let's first start living our lives."

At this, she bit her lip, a shy expression on her face. "I want to be with you, forever together. And... I want the Firth Family to have an heir."

Her grandfather, aunts, and uncles' words had stayed with Nancy.

She might be young, but Charlie was nearly thirty, and the Firth Family needed his child.

Charlie was so excited that he wanted to fly back to Liverton right away!

He looked at Nancy, her shy face turning up to meet his gaze, and felt completely at ease!

"Alright, Nancy, we'll return to Liverton the day after tomorrow!"

Linda and Henry had come to City Nustin not just for a visit but to help Old Master Firth sort through his antiques.

Linda's family had a long history and a keen understanding of antiques and jade, which had been very helpful to Old Master Firth.

Two days later, the entire Firth Family arrived in Liverton.

Fifty Rolls Royces lined up neatly at the airport entrance, drawing a crowd of onlookers.

"Which family is this? Such grandeur?"

"Yeah, only the Lesser family used to make such a grand display. Which family is it today?"

Someone who followed financial news closely saw the convoy and boldly speculated, "Could it be the Firth Family? I heard the Firth Family moved from City Nustin to Liverton..."

"The Firth Family? The Glory Group's Firth Family?"

"Yes!"

"Looks like it. Haha, it seems the power dynamics in Liverton might change. I wonder if the Lesser family will still hold the title of the top family in a few years?"
