On the following day, North Hampton Airport received an overwhelming number of notifications about private jets flying in.
People were coming in from all around the country, especially from Oakland City.
Groups of influential figures flew in on their private planes, and the traffic was heavy at the airport.
Luxury limousines were parked at the pickup area awaiting the arrival of numerous prominent figures.
Lines of extravagant vehicles moved out of the airport to the highway after guests got on.
Never had anyone seen such a lively scene in North Hampton.
All routes were congested as people arrived and left the airport.
The public quickly noticed this unusual scene and started questioning what was happening.
“What’s going on in North Hampton?”
“What’s with all this traffic all of a sudden?”
Their curiosity was understandable.
Expensive cars streamed down the roads, and helicopters hovered over the city for the whole day.
Everyone marveled at this unprecedented sight.
“Look, Daddy! There’re so many planes in the sky!”
Even Forlevia was amazed.
Emma trailed the girl’s gaze and frowned, clearly befuddled by what she saw. “I wonder what is happening. It’s like everyone is coming to North Hampton all of a sudden.”
At the same time, Meredith and Harry had already received news about this unusual scene in North Hampton.
Servants started coming in with real-time reports of what they each saw. ”I heard Teneb of Garrison clan came all the way from Oakland City. The family’s council members are here too.”
“The patriarch and the council members of the Garcia family just arrived too,” yet another servant said.
“Mr. Lehman and his men just touched down.”
“The ancient, imperial, and royal families from Oakland City are all here as well.”
“I just got the news that prominent families from other places have come over.”
These were disconcerting news for Meredith and those around her.
It was the Lopez, Black, and Zachs families’ interest to combine forces to form an imperial family, but from how things were unfolding, the situation was not to their advantage.
“The Garrison family is obviously here to deal with Levi, but what about other families? Why are they here?” someone asked.
“I know, right? It’s weird how we receive no heads up about their coming.”
Everyone was befuddled by the news.
They were considered the most powerful families in the area, but they were not notified about anything.
“Go and see if you can find out more about this,” Meredith ordered one of the servants.
After the servant went out, she caught Harry’s scheming gaze, and they both smiled concurrently.
“This is our chance. The most distinguished people in the whole country are all here now. We have to seize the opportunity.”
Zoey was at the company when she got a call saying someone was waiting for her at the front desk.
She rushed downstairs and saw Dale.
“Mr. Lehman…” Zoey hesitated before greeting him. She was not sure if she should call him godfather.
“Zoey! It’s nice to see you again.”
His enthusiasm caught her by surprise.
Sensing her reluctance, Dale walked toward her and held her hand. “Zoey, I’m sorry for what I did to you. I should’ve helped you out back then. Trust me when I say I had no other choice. I had to think about the family.”
Dale recalled what Teneb told him, and a wave of regret washed over his heart once again.
“It’s okay, Mr. Lehman. You did nothing wrong,” Zoey quickly assured him.
Dale looked at her in the eyes before finally saying, “Do you mind me taking you as my god-daughter now? Is it too late?”
