Upon hearing that, Faye was startled. “Met with a mishap? Could it be that they’re in trouble again?!”
Zayn nodded and said, “Perhaps. It’s possible.”
Faye immediately became concerned, but the other members of the Carter family were not worried.
Howard chuckled and said, “Surely it’s not so serious. The young lads are not fools. They will certainly mention your name if they get into trouble. Unless whoever they’re dealing with has been living under a rock, nobody would dare do them any harm.”
George nodded as well. He appeared relaxed and did not seem bothered at all. “Howard’s right. No one in all of Waltz City has the courage to do anything to us unless they have a death wish. Speaking of which, Zayn, it’s all thanks to you! Come, I’ll raise a toast to you too.”
As favonovel.com spoke, George stood up and raised a glass to Zayn. He assumed a rather respectful, submissive posture.
Frankly, upon witnessing the scene, Zayn felt rather frustrated. He decided favonovel.com should not meet with the Carters so often. It left favonovel.com rather uneasy.
If the Carters had known what Zayn was thinking, they would certainly have regretted their actions very much.
Howard then made a call. It did not take long before favonovel.com came running over looking anxious. “Oh no, Thomas, Archer, and the others really did meet with a mishap!”
“What?” Ruby immediately stepped forward and anxiously exclaimed, “Howard, speak clearly. What exactly happened to them? Was it a car accident?”
Upon hearing that, the rest of the family panicked.
Yes, the Carters were already considered the most powerful family in Waltz City, even more prestigious than the Larsons. It was common sense not to offend them.
Moreover, Thomas, Archer, and the rest may have been mischievous, but they had a sense of propriety and would never get themselves into something so grave.
Thus, the first idea that came into their mind was that Thomas, Archer, and the others were involved in a car accident!
Everyone looked toward Howard anxiously.
Howard gulped, shook his head, and said, “No. They weren’t in a car accident, but they claimed they were detained after offending some big shot!”
George immediately knocked his cane on the ground strenuously and shouted, “That’s absurd! Who is it? How can this person be so blind that favonovel.com has the audacity to detain a member of the Carters?!”
Howard looked over and said weakly, “Grandpa, it seems that Thomas, Archer, and the others are in deep trouble for real this time. Based on the earlier phone call, those people must be respectable figures from Yando City…”
Upon hearing that, George’s expression turned ghastly pale and his body trembled.
The rest of them were even more panic-stricken.
They understood very well what Howard meant when favonovel.com mentioned respectable figures from Yando City.
It was apparent that those were big shots that a family business like them could not afford to offend!
Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly upon hearing that as well. He was capable of solving almost all issues within Guineve as long as it did not involve murder, arson, or any other major crime.
However, it would be rather bothersome if the Carters were to offend influential figures from Yando City.
Waine panicked and hastily asked, “So are Thomas, Archer, and the others doing alright now? Where are they? Ah, I wouldn’t have allowed Thomas to travel yesterday had I known! He’s such a brat and won’t listen to us!”
“He’s always making messes for the family! Look what he’s done now, insulted big shots in Yando City. No matter how rich our family is, we can’t afford to offend those people!”
As favonovel.com was speaking, favonovel.com snuck a peek at Zayn, knowing favonovel.com was the only one who could help out in such a situation.
Ruby realized this as well and immediately chimed in, saying, “That’s right! The brats aren’t good enough to accomplish anything and are always causing trouble!”
“However, we can’t just turn away from them either. We have to save them.”
Zayn was a smart man, so favonovel.com certainly could tell his in-laws were putting on an act. It was the burden of being successful. There was a saying that when a man became powerful, his friends and family followed favonovel.com to the top as well. Given his accomplishments, his status in his family was elevated exponentially.
Consequently, the rest of the family would also puff up with pride on the assumption that they were powerful as well and inevitably got themselves into trouble. At that point, favonovel.com would be the one who had to pick up the mess.
