Chapter 1712: A Question Mark

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Am I here at the wrong time?” An untimely voice came from the door.

Ye Feng only took a glance and quickly let go of Millie’s hand.

This was because the person who had come was none other than Harold Irene, who had just arranged for her subordinates to deal with Grady and the others.

Millie’s biological mother.

Next to Harold Irene was a middle-aged woman with a noble aura.

The woman was dressed in a formal suit and wore a badge on her chest.

On it was her name and title: Manager of Ross Suit Shop, Ma Ning.

Seeing this, Millie was a little embarrassed. She quickly ran over. “Mom, Auntie Ma Ning.”

“Did I come at an inappropriate time?” When Harold Irene said this, she glanced at Ye Feng with a playful look.

Millie’s cheeks turned even redder. She immediately shook Harold Irene’s arm gently and said coquettishly, “Oh, Mom, what are you talking about?”

“It’s not what you think.”

“There’s nothing between Uncle and me.”

“Nothing?” Harold Irene rolled her eyes at her. “You’re holding hands!”

“If it weren’t for your Auntie Ma Ning and me, you would probably be in his arms right now, right?”

“Aiya, Mom, it’s not what you think.” Millie’s face was so red that it was almost dripping blood. “Uncle and I…”

Harold Irene waved her hand and said before she could finish, “Alright, you don’t have to explain anymore.”

“Mom is not that old-fashioned.”

“Who you like is your own business. As long as you keep your eyes open and don’t fall for those bad boys, it’ll be fine.”

Then, she broke free of Millie’s grip and walked to Ye Feng. “Mr. Ye, right?”

This was the first time Ye Feng had interacted with a Western elder of the opposite sex. He was still not used to the cultural differences. He could not react in time, he could only nod his head stiffly. “Yes.”

“I heard from Millie about what happened on Queen’s Avenue.” Harold Irene had a kind smile on her face. “Thank you and the Prosperity Society so much.”

“If it weren’t for your persistence and decisiveness, Millie probably wouldn’t have come back alive that time.”

“You’re being too serious.” Ye Feng replied politely. “I just happened to discover the problem and did what I could.”

“You don’t have to be humble.” Harold Irene waved her hand and said with an iron-blooded temperament, “We did arrange for someone to verify what happened later.”

“It was indeed thanks to you that Millie and many passersby were saved.”

“I also heard that when the natural gas pipeline was discovered to be leaking, you even went to look for that d*mn construction team without a license, but their person-in-charge chased you away…”

“Later on, you had no choice but to contact the Prosperity Society and ask them to send someone to evacuate everyone in the surroundings…”

Ye Feng did not expect Harold Irene to be so clear on the situation, he immediately had a deeper understanding of this family’s power.

He smiled back. “Yes, the manager of the construction team did not listen to my suggestion.”

“If he had a little bit of responsibility, that big explosion might not have happened.”

“Even if it happened, it wouldn’t have been so big.”

Harold Irene nodded and replied, “Those guys deserve to die!”

“So after finding out the truth at that time, the Royal Secret Service of the Sun Never Sets Empire had already taken control of all of them!”

“What awaits them next will be the contempt of the people of the Empire and the severe punishment of the law!”

Ye Feng was not surprised when he heard that those people were captured.

However, Millie looked at him in shock. “So you did so many things before you contacted the Prosperity Society.”

“Aren’t you too amazing?”

Ye Feng did not reply.

Harold Irene glanced at her and said, “Your mother is still here.”

“Let’s talk about flirting later.”

“Let your mother finish talking to Mr. Ye.”

Millie immediately stuck out her tongue again and stopped talking.

Harold Irene looked at Ye Feng again. “I have said so much, but I have no other intentions. I just want to tell Mr. Ye that Millie’s father and I will remember this favor.”

“If there’s anything we can help with in the future, feel free to ask.”

“Although our family can only be considered a branch of the Harold family and can’t compare to those prominent duke families, we still have some power in the territory of the Empire. Usually, as long as it’s not a heaven-shattering matter, it’s very simple for us to help you resolve it.”

Ye Feng understood her meaning and thanked her immediately. “Understood.”

“Thank you and your husband for your kindness.”

“You’re welcome. It’s what we should do.” Harold Irene replied.

Then, she suddenly looked at Millie. “I came with her today just to meet her benefactor. Speaking of which, it’s time to end my visit.”

“But seeing how things are between you and her just now, I think there’s something I need to say.”

“?” Ye Feng slowly showed a questioning look.

Harold Irene looked at her daughter and said meaningfully, “Before this, Millie had never had a boyfriend. If you two were together, I hope you can treat her well.”

“At least don’t bully or lie to her.”

“Her father and I only have one daughter.”

“If she is bullied, even if you are her savior and have an extraordinary background, we will not let you off easily. Do you understand?”

“???” This time, Ye Feng was even more confused.

Harold Irene didn’t want to listen to his explanation. She looked at Ma Ning and said, “Alright, that’s all I have to say.”

“If I continue, Millie will probably be annoyed with me.”

“You guys have a good chat. I have a lot of things to do in Harold’s Department Store. I’ll be leaving.”

Then, she left.

Manager Ma Ning, who was nodded at by her, seemed to have misunderstood something as well. She sent Harold Irene off and after she left, she looked at Ye Feng and Millie with a motherly smile. “Little Millie, you have good taste.”

“I’ve heard from your mother about our suit shop. As the manager of the Ross Suit Store at Harold’s, I’ll give Mr. Ye the suit he’s wearing as a gift to express my apology.”

“Also, I’ll help him get a pair of leather shoes. I’ll give them to him as well.”
