Chapter 1439: Chapter 1439: Meeting the Parker Family Patriarch

"Something up?" Aurelia asked.

"Yeah, a bit." Mason Nightshade replied, "I’ll be there in ten minutes."

Ten minutes later, Aurelia stepped out, wearing a white chiffon blouse with a bow and a black knee-length skirt.

Mason’s car was parked by the roadside at the corner.

As soon as she got in, Mason pulled her into his arms, his large hand sliding along the fabric of her clothes, frowning slightly, "Wearing such a short skirt."

"You can only wear it for me, understand?" Mason declared imperiously.

Domineering.

But Aurelia loved his possessiveness.

The car stopped at Mason’s place.

Aurelia followed Mason inside, puzzled, "Why are we here?"

Mason noticed her extreme caution and chuckled softly, "I’m taking you to meet someone."

Recently, he had indeed been a bit aggressive, so he couldn’t blame her for being as cautious as a cat.

Meet someone? Aurelia was only stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed who Mason wanted her to meet, but it was just speculation.

Mason sensed Aurelia’s hesitation, held her hand, "If you don’t want to meet, we don’t have to. He came to find me. When my people were investigating the Parker Family, they were discovered by them."

The Parker Family isn’t as simple a business family as they appear. Their power and background are still unclear to him.

If even he couldn’t understand it, it showed how deep the waters of the Parker Family are.

Aurelia remained silent for a moment, "I’ll meet them."

Meeting them doesn’t mean returning to the Parker Family.

Since they had already approached her, she couldn’t avoid meeting them.

Even if she refused, she believed the Parker Family would find other ways to meet her.

In that case, it was better to see them this time.

In the living room sat an old man, dressed in a green robe, lively and spirited. The eyes beneath thick eyebrows were cloudy yet sharp, not showing off, but Aurelia had seen him before, it was the old man she got lost with on set.

Hudson Parker saw Aurelia, his eyes becoming gentle, "Aurelia, we’ve met."

Aurelia’s expression was calm, "I know."

Hudson Parker was taken aback, his eyes deepening instantly. It was admiration. This granddaughter not only resembled his beloved Xia Xian, but was also as smart as her.

"The last time I didn’t acknowledge you was for a reason..." Hudson Parker wanted to explain; if he had hesitated before about recognizing this granddaughter, now his mind was made up. He wanted to bring her back to the Parker Family.

Aurelia raised her eyebrows, her red lips curled up, "Not just last time?"

Hudson Parker was stunned.

Mason also glanced at Aurelia.

Aurelia chuckled, "The time I was invited over and left standing in the yard for half a day, while you watched everything from behind the surveillance cameras, getting an eyeful."

Hudson Parker burst out laughing.

The last time he had hidden a camera and was caught by Aurelia, he wasn’t angry. Instead, since that time he admired this granddaughter, especially since she was his favorite daughter’s child.

Hudson Parker hadn’t expected she’d guess it was him that time too.

Aurelia’s face darkened.

Her mood wasn’t as good as Hudson Parker’s. That time after leaving the Parker Family, she was kidnapped by Ferryman’s men and injected with a toxin.

Although it had nothing to do with Hudson Parker, every time she thought of the Parker Family, this incident came to mind.

She even suspected whether the Parker Family was involved in her kidnapping by Ferryman.

The Parker Family was extremely cautious, surely surrounding her with a protective net, yet Ferryman’s people had quietly abducted her.

Moreover, after she took the old man home, the next day Parker Family’s people were already watching her.
