Instantly, the others got the meaning between the lines. They then had shock on their faces, especially Charles.
Did Richard summon his youngest son back at the request of Yvonne? Was he such a man who doted on children? His children didn’t know that till now.
“He can let his little boy come home, but he shouldn’t send me over,” Charles thought indignantly.
He had done nothing bad but followed his eldest brother to visit his father who had been away from home for a long time.
Now, he couldn’t help but suspect that he had been used by his eldest brother.
After he and his wife perceived the trap set up by his eldest brother, their expression became grim.
The internal fight of the Adler family didn’t distress Richard because he was clear that his children knew where to stop.
The Adler family would stick together whenever there were rivals or enemies.
Richard had nothing to worry about as long as his children remembered the family tradition.
“Well, you may leave now. I will live here. It is alright if you can’t visit me twice per month.”
The Adler brothers remained calm till they heard Richard’s last sentence. They felt that they were losing something.
In the past, the Adler brothers paid Richard two visits per month with their respective families.
It was an unwritten rule for the Adler family, but Richard broke it now. Richard stuck to his plan no matter how the others dissuaded him.
When he had time, he took Yvonne to Tiger Mountain or the orchard for a walk, took photos of the rare birds attracted by her, and showed off his granddaughter to his old friends.
Obviously, his life became richer than before. He didn’t give a damn about his troublesome children anymore.
“Let’s call it a day. Go. Leave me alone. Impatient, Richard waved his children away as if they were birds.
His children were dumbfounded. In a daze, they were driven out of the house. When they stood the door of the Holmes. their expression contained shock and confusion.
Was it an illusion? They felt that they already lost their father.
Thanks to the money from Richard, the orchard was soon built. It was destined to be a bad bargain, but Richard was generous and determined about this investment.
The orchard was great with professional and advanced equipment, and the outsiders mistook it for a research center. There were only three trees in the orchard. Perhaps Richard already found fun in spending money, so he hired five people for the orchard. What an easy job for five people to grow three trees!
Then, Richard had many surveillance cameras installed in and around the orchard. Yvonne saw more than 30 ones on the road outside the orchard.
It sounded absurd to the outsiders that Richard p
protected three trees with so many surveillance cameras.
The new employees were appalled by what they saw. They didn’t understand Richard, but they liked their jobs very much.

The trees were taken care of by the professional, so the new employees were in charge of cleaning the orchard.
More often than not, they slacked off at work. They led an easy life till one week later. That day, their superintendent arrived in a hurry.
For the first time, the new employees felt pressure from their jobs. The reason was the arrival of their big boss and his granddaughter.
It was difficult to find a good job like this, so the five people cherished theirs very much. That day, they were enthusiastic and hard–working to impress their generous boss,
They waited in the orchard. They didn’t see the man in the legend till ten o’clock.
Several cars drove into the orchard, and the limos gave the employees the illusion that they were at the auto show.
When
Richard got out of the car, his bodyguard intended to help him but was rejected. Now, he was in good health. Thanks to Yvonne and his good mood, his health improved a lot recently. He looked around and nodded in satisfaction after he got out of the car.
“Not bad. This is the right place for Yvonne’s trees, Richard thought. He would like to give his trees the best environment even if there were only three of them..
Jeremy came in the same car with Yvonne. He was astonished by the scale of the orchard after he got out of the car. The orchard was so large that he couldn’t help but wonder whether Richard intended to start a business about fruits. He soon realized his mistake because there were only two trees in the orchard.
The vine was in another corner of the orchard, so Jeremy failed to see it upon his arrival. He approached the banana tree, gazed at it, and was lost in thought.
There were bananas in the tree, but they were little and green. Jeremy knew that the little bananas were bitter without trying
them.
Then, Jeremy thought of the orange tree in the yard of the Holmes family. One orange was ripe last night, but the bird took it away at midnight before Jeremy did.
Those birds stood sentry 24 hours per day, so it was impossible for Jeremy to beat them. The sad memory brought regret to Jeremy.
Jeremy then whispered to Yvonne, “What do you think of this tree, Yvonne?” “Not bad.” Starry–eyed, Yvonne nodded with
excitement.
The tree had so many bananas that Yvonne felt proud of it. She liked it very much, Hearing her comment, Richard continued his visit.
He waved his hand to his subordinates and said, “Let’s go. Take me to the vine.”
Jeremy pit Yvonne on the ground when they were alone. He walked around while Yvonne put her hand on the banana tree. Jeremy looked at the sky and began to think about life. He wanted to grow some other trees there since the orchard was
large
However, the Adler family didn’t live on Yvonne’s ability, so they didn’t need so many fruit trees.
Even the innocent Jeremy knew that the fruits produced by Yvonne would make a hit even if their prices were high.
For the sake of Yvonne, the Adler family had better keep a low profile. “I don’t want others to take Yvonne away. Jeremy

thought. He tricked Yvonne sometimes, but he loved her very much.

When Jeremy was absorbed in thought, Yvonne did what she should to the banana tree. Then, she ran to the orange tree.
The oranges in the orchard were much larger than those at home, so Yvonne wanted to eat one. She failed to pick one orange because the tree was taller than her.
Jeremy walked up to Yvonne and felt that the air around the two trees became fragrant within a short time. He bent down. looked at Yvonne’s face, found it ruddy, and felt relieved.
“Done?” he asked. “Yes,” Yvonne responded. Jeremy carried Yvonne in his arms and left the two trees.
Their task for that day would be completed after Yvonne checked on the vine. Jeremy saw some birds flying toward the orchard when he left.
These little creatures seemed sensitive to Yvonne’s vigor and were greatly attracted by it. The birds reminded Jeremy of the orange tree that was in his backyard.
The servants of the Holmes family were frantically driving those birds away. More and more birds gathered around the Holmes as the oranges grew ripe.
The trees around the Holmes‘ were full of birds. The chirping of one or two birds was pleasant, but that of a flock of birds was a disaster.
