Chapter 6995
On the way back, Maglina kept her car deliberately under control.
She didn’t dare drop Claire off too quickly, fearing that if she returned too early, Charlie, who was in Eastcliff, wouldn’t have boarded the plane yet.
If one of Jacob and Elaine hadn’t been smart enough to send Charlie a message asking about something, everything would be ruined.
So, she figured, as long as Claire stayed with her until takeoff and didn’t communicate with the outside world,
She’d be able to eliminate any risk.
Furthermore, to avoid any mishaps, they even used their connections to remove and repair the Wi-Fi module on Charlie’s plane beforehand.
Many transoceanic flights now offer free or paid internet,
And first class generally has free access.
If the Wi-Fi on this plane wasn’t disabled,
Charlie would have been able to receive messages throughout the flight.
Once the Wi-Fi function is disabled, all passengers on board would be temporarily cut off from the outside world ten minutes after takeoff,
Until they are close to landing.
Charlie’s plane took off on time at 5:30 PM.
Ten minutes later, the plane climbed to an altitude of 3,500 meters.
By this time, all cell phone signals had been completely lost.
Maglina’s hairpin vibrated three times.
This was their internal communication method; three vibrations indicated that Charlie was no longer connected.
So, she sped up and took Claire to her home in Tomson.
Jacob had already arrived home and was watching TV in the living room with Elaine.
Seeing Claire walk in alone, they both looked over at them immediately.
Jacob said with a smile, “Oh, my girl, you’re back!”
“Did you have a good time in Eastcliff this time?”
Claire smiled slightly and said, “Very good.”
Elaine looked left and right but didn’t see any sign of Charlie behind her daughter.
She asked her in surprise, “My girl, isn’t Charlie back?”
“No.”
Claire adjusted her hair unnaturally and said,
“Charlie went to Australia. Mr. Hong asked him for help, saying that a friend needed his help with feng shui.”
“So I came back on my own.”
When Jacob heard Mr. Hong, he quickly asked him,
“Is it Master Orvel Hong?”
“Yes.”
Claire nodded. Jacob said with a smile,
“Oh, Master Orvel has a good relationship with Charlie.”
“Some clients always think of him.”
“Not bad.”
In Jacob’s opinion, whether he could become the executive vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association again in the future depended on whether Master Orvel was willing to help him.
He’d previously gotten himself into trouble and been demoted from the Painting and Calligraphy Association.
However, everyone in the industry knew the unspoken rules:
If you were demoted during a crisis, you’d be able to find an opportunity to be promoted back soon after the storm subsided.
It all depended on whether the higher-ups were willing to grant you that opportunity.
Jacob knew he had little foundation, but with Master Orvel’s help, this matter would be a sure thing.
Therefore, as long as Charlie and Orvel maintained a close working relationship,
He felt that his case still had a chance.
Claire could probably tell from her father’s expression what he was thinking about,
But she also knew that her parents were leaving Aurous Hill soon and might not return.
The Painting and Calligraphy Association is all just a pipe dream.
Then, she said to them, “By the way, Mom and Dad, our company’s been slow lately.”
“And we’ve had a lot of things to do since the Lunar New Year.”
“A friend recommended a cruise trip from the island city all the way to Tahiti.”
“They said the facilities are excellent and it’s a lot of fun.”
“Let’s go tonight!”
“Tonight?” Jacob said in surprise,
“So hasty?”
Elaine asked curiously, “Tahiti? Is it Tahiti that’s rich in pearls?”
Claire nodded and said to Elaine,
“Yes, Mom, it’s that Tahiti.”
“It’s said to be better than the Maldives.”
“But it’s not as hyped as the Maldives.”
After that, she said to Jacob,
“Dad, the cruise ship will leave the port tomorrow morning.”
“And we are far away.”
“If we want to catch up, we have to set off now.”
“Their company has allocated a business car, and it’s waiting at the door.”
“You go back to the room and pack some things, and we’ll set off directly.”
Elaine asked with concern,
“My daughter, it must cost a lot of money to take a cruise to such a far place, right?”
Claire knew that her mother loved to take advantage of others, so she agreed with her and said,
“It is said to be a super luxurious first-class cabin.”
“A ticket costs more than 200,000, and all meals and drinks are free.”
Elaine immediately became energetic and excited,
“Let’s go! We must go!”
Jacob was a little embarrassed and said:
“Oh, this is too hasty. We haven’t handed over many things in our association yet.”
“It’s not appropriate to leave like that!”\
Elaine blurted out: “What’s inappropriate?”
“You don’t have anything serious to do there.”
“It’s just a bunch of old men and women doing some nonsense all day long.”
“Besides, President Pei has such a good relationship with you.”
“If there is anything, just let him arrange it for you.”
“It will definitely not be a problem for him.”
Jacob smacked his lips and asked:
“Then let’s go on the cruise. It will take at least a month to go back and forth, right?”
“Do you want to say hello to Charlie?”
Claire lied: “This project is managed by Charlie’s friend.”
“He gave us this opportunity for free because of Charlie.”
“It will take a long time for Charlie to go to Australia this time.”
“He was afraid that we would be bored at home,”
“So he arranged for us to go out.”
“Is that so?” Jacob nodded slightly and said,
“Then I’ll say hello to President Pei and ask him to help arrange the work.”
