With that, the entire room fell silent.
Amos and Heather were stunned.

Joel, I hesitated to formally adopt Joel under my own name.Now that I think about it, it would have
been better to adopt him.This way, at the very least, it would’ve shut your stupid mouths.Not just
anyone can mock my successor!”

Joel.

“Joel, would you like to be my son?”
Joel’s eyes turned red.
After so many years, he had gained a lot of knowledge from lan and learned how to manage the
company.It could be said that he was personally taught by lan.
When he was young, everyone told him that lan was only teasing him by bringing him along.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t he go through with the adoption? He had also asked Ian this question.

“You’re still calling me Uncle lan?”

on!”

“Yes, son”
lan responded and looked at the shocked Amos and Heather.
“I’ll get the lawyers to handle all the formalities.I hope that the two of you will maintain a distance
from Joel in the future! After all, you have to avoid arousing suspicion! Understand? If I ever find out
again that the two of you are doing something outside calling yourselves Joel’s parents, don’t blame

His tone was filled with dense killing intent.
Both Amos and Heather were frightened.

They stood up and said, “Okay.”
lan left another sentence.
“I’ll arrange for you guys to go overseas.Don’t come back again.”

already had! After this irksome couple left, Joel quickly restrained his emotions and looked at Nora.

informant.I’ve already found and asked his contact to come out.If nothing goes wrong, he can be
released the day after tomorrow.”

“What?”

believe?”
