Chapter 289
At night.
In the Iverton center, there were still ancient buildings. They were single buildings with one or two floors.
At the Patton family, the lights in the villa were bright.
In the dining room, the old–fashioned Nastalian cuisine was boiling. It was steaming hot and fragrant. Four people sat around and ate.
The servant pushed the door open and entered. “Mr. Patton, Christian from Vaporleon City is here. He’s waiting outside to see you.”
Alex Patton paused. His fork stopped above the bowl as he looked at the people at the table.
The young man opposite him quickly put the mutton into his mouth and swallowed it. It was really hot.
He said, “Back in the war between our country and Crefan, you led an air force. Christian is one of the only two people who survived. Today’s Berry Airline is the original military aviation family business.”
As soon as he said that, Alex remembered.
“How do you know all this?” Alex asked
Norman Hess looked at Alex. It was true that he shouldn’t know it, but Alfred had taken a fancy to Christian’s granddaughter, Lea.
As the only friend of Alfred in Iverton, he knew everything about the Berry family.
However, Blake did not agree to this marriage. Alfred and Lea only wanted to fall in love in a low– key manner. But Milton interfered. He did not want this relationship to be exposed, so people in Iverton did not know. So Norman couldn’t say it directly.
I’m just knowledgeable Norman said.
Alex narrowed his eyes and examined Norman with a sharp gaze.
Alex was the one who raised him. With just one look. Alex knew what he was going to do. He was lying.
“Dylan, this mution is delicious. Where did you get it? Can you get more?” Norman asked.
“Dad”

Patton, who was beside him, asked, “Do you want to see him!”
There was a sudden silence at the table. Several juniors looked at Alex.
Lea’s incident was fully handled by the special organization. It was also the biggest operation in recent years, so the entire military and political circles were paying attention.
An existence like t
the gene drugs was earth–shattering.
This matter had already happened a month ago. The name Lea Berry was also remembered by everyone. Thus, everyone knew about it, including the four people present.
The other three looked at Alex, wondering what he would do.

o meet him” Jill didn’t want to make things difficult for Alex, so he dealt with this matter himself,
After all, the matter of Lea was already set in stone. No one could change it.
Jill was about to get up and go out. “No need.” Alex turned to the servant. “Invite him in.”
The few of them couldn’t help but look at Alex. As expected, he still valued friendship very much. That was true. Who wouldn’t cherish such a comrade?
After a while, Christian followed the servant. When he entered and saw the people at the dining table, he could not help but stop in place.
At the long dark brown dining table, the old man in the middle had gray hair. His face was very cleanly trimmed and he did not have a beard. He looked a little weak.
When he looked up, the light in his eyes inadvertently shane, as if he was an unconquerable powerhouse and he was still the general who dominated the battlefield in that era of war.
He was seventy–five years old, but he looked like he was only in his sixties. Moreover, he was a patient who had been suffering from cancer for ten years.
Beside Alex was Dylan Williams, his former secretary. He was in charge of all the matters around him. After he retired, he stayed by his side to work. He was almost 70 years old now,
The other two were his son, Jill Patton, and his grandson. Norman Hess.
The three of them looked very similar. They were tall and handsome.
It had been decades, but Alex could still recognize him. Time passed, and it was as if a lifetime had passed. In an instant, his eyes became moist.
“Christian, come and sit, Alex said.
To Christian, Alex didn’t have any might. He was as amiable as an old friend.
Everyone knew that only Christian could make Alex like this.
The servant added a chair and cutlery, and Christian, who was not a coy person, joined them for dinner.
The other three were silently eating, but their attention was on the two of them.
Alex looked at Christian. His eye sockets were swollen, and his eyes were squeezed until they were small, but the blood vessels in his eyes were very clear. It could be seen how tired he was from running around to save Lea.
Knowing the purpose of his visit and not wanting to embarrass him. Alex asked first. “What’s going on with your granddaughter. Lea?
He knew what had happened, of course, but he wanted to hear Christian’s side of the story.
Christian told him everything he knew. He choked for a while and said, “I owe this child. It was my disregard for her that caused her to become like this today. As long as she can live, I’m willing to give up everything”
Other than Norman, the other two could not help but put down their cutlery. They were in a sorrowful mood and found it difficult to swallow, How many parents and elders were willing to give up everything for their children and grandchildren!
However, once a tragedy happened, nothing could be exchanged for it, not even their lives.
Looking at Norman who was eating with relish, Jill kicked him under the table, as if saying, is it appropriate to eat under such circumstances? Norman, who had been kicked innocently, was speechless. He also wanted to look like he was too sad to eat, but he couldn’t
No matter how much evidence there was outside, no matter how Lea was tried, Norman believed that she was innocent. Alfred would not let anything happen to her at all. Otherwise, with his taste in women, he would only die alone
He rubbed his nose and sneaked his fork into the bowl when Jill wasn’t looking.
Jill was speechless. He wants to eat them all. Isn’t he afraid of stuffing him to death? h

thought.
Alex was silent for a moment. From Christian’s reaction, he knew nothing about Lea’s research on gene drugs. However, from his emotional reaction, this matter was true.
Alex thought for a moment and said, “Miss Berry is a scientific research talent. Perhaps we can find a way out for her from this aspect. The Andrews family has a certain level of leadership in these areas. If Blake is willing to arrange it, things will be easy
Christian nodded. Without even drinking any water, he left in a hurry and rushed to the Andrews family. After he left, they continued to eat.
The sound of the metal door opening came from outside. Alex asked, “Who is i

The dining table fell silent, and the atmosphere became more serious. Everyone was looking f

got out of the car and went straight to the lobby.
He pushed the door open and saw Norman sitting at the dining table. He was dressed in a black military uniform and looked quite aggressive. Lorenzo’s expression darkened and he turned around to leave. Soon, the sound of the car driving away could be heard outside.
He had been like this since he was three years old. In this family.

two of them never appeared together.
The dining room fell into silence. Even their breathing could not be heard. They had deliberately lowered their voices. Norman got up, took out a letter from the back pocket of his pants, and placed it in front of Jill.
This is my resignation letter, Norman said.
