653 Justice coming closer - Part 5

Friday, continued …

Looking directly at Snake, Alecia knew that she needed to stand her ground early as the night would end up being a disaster. She turned to James and signalled him to come over before responding "Uncle Snake, I am." When James arrived by her side, Alecia continued "This is my husband James. He is the source of my happiness and is Alecia's sister."

Snake turned and said, "So Empress we have you and the Toff to blame for our princess going away."

"Do not blame me. You think Yi and I moved quick. Alecia within less than 24 hours of meeting James, blackmailed her father into allowing her to marry my brother and he gave in. These two moved quicker than the rest of us."

"I do not know, if you and the twerp Lu Jinhu had not come here, our princess would still be our princess to spoil."

"Snake, would not have happened, she would have come here and married me, so it was inevitable that they would have met at some time."Find authorized novels in Webnovel?faster updates, better experience?

Before anyone could say anything else, there was a noise at the entrance of the room, and in walked King, Croc, Lizard and Tiger. King quickly said "Snake, you were meant to wait for us to arrive to start the interrogation."

"Uncle King, you promised me that you would not do anything nasty."

"Princess, he dared marry you without meeting us. We are entitled to interrogate him to determine if he is good enough for you." King looked at Alecia with a calm, almost unreadable look on his face.

"Uncle King, NO! I love him and he loves me. I am happy, and that should be what concerns you. As I told dad, if you cannot accept him, then you will not be in my life."

King looked at Alecia and realised that she was deadly serious. The look on her face reminded him of his late wife, when they married. Her parents, the rest of her family and friends hated him. They considered him a thug who had no prospects and would simply drag her down. She accepted his past and support him in pursuing the dreams he had with his friends for their future.

She supported him in changing his life, which ultimately led to the founding of Seven Shades, and the rapid expansion of their business. From simply flipping of units and houses, to small developments, to the large multi-billion-dollar developments that are now a feature of their business. The first time she ran into Alecia here when Tan had brought the triplets in for a rare meal, changed their lives.

He found a family that did not judge him, and like his wife believed in him and encouraged their development. The only thing he was constantly regretful about was that they never had their own children. His wife always told him they had time, and then to lose her before they could have a child. Now Alecia, Ton and Junior were the children that they would never have, as would the baby that Anna is having and any future children that she and Yi and Tan and Amanda have.

King sighed, and noticed at the door, Mama and Papa were leading in their staff to bring in their first course. Thank goodness Alecia had decided on here, as everyone knew what they would be getting as a meal. At least most people in higher society did not know about the food here, otherwise the place that they all knew would quickly disappear.

"Fine Princess, but we will be having some discussions, and we better like the answers?"

"Uncle King, you can ask questions, but do not take it too far," came a determined response from Alecia. It was obvious to everyone that Alecia would only allow things to go so far tonight.

Croc thought that King, if he was not careful would push Alecia out of everyone's life. None of them had children, some by choice some simply because it had not happened, and the triplets were as much their children as they were Tan's, given the hand they had in raising them when they were little. He decided that he needed to have a work, and quietly whispered "King be careful, you know Alecia is too much like her father. Push her too far and she will cut all of us out of her life. None of us want that."

King nodded his head and turned while everyone started to eat their first course. During the next ninety minutes while everyone was enjoying the meal, discussions were kept light and friendly, before King suggested that they head back to their private club.
