Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1000 - Family Reunion on Christmas Eve

Chapter 1000: Family Reunion on Christmas Eve

Claire didn’t tell anyone about these most secret changes to her body.

That was because the mysterious old man had told her, “A secret that two people know is no longer a secret.”

Claire agreed with that and chose to keep it to herself.

Also, she had officially debuted in the entertainment industry.

At Luke’s suggestion, she chose a kooky persona for her debut, to ensure that she wouldn’t be recognized on the streets in the future.

However, instead of the stage name “Sia” which Luke had given her, she insisted on using the stage name “P!nk.”

That was because she liked pink and wanted everyone to be amazed by her.

Luke felt a little regretful. His sister was already using a double-colored wig to cover her face, but she wasn’t using the stage name Sia. That cut down a lot on his mischief.

Anyway, Claire’s voice wasn’t like Sia’s in the first place. It was more like a young girl’s voice with a hint of magnetism. He couldn’t give Sia’s songs to her to sing.

Those were his favorite songs from his previous life, but Claire had no use for them.

In the end, he could give his sister the catchy song “Call Me Maybe” for her debut.

As for Claire’s current situation, he only had a rough understanding of it. It seemed she was getting a little famous, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.

He had done everything he could. If Claire still couldn’t take off, then... he would copy another song for her later.

In the memories of his previous life, it was the super bubblegum pop that was popular worldwide which people couldn’t forget even if they wanted to, the kind that was played all over the streets for a period of time.

If it wasn’t that, then it was the classical music which Luke especially liked and listened to over and over again, and which definitely had its merits. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to overcome the language barrier and leave a vivid impression on him.

What these two genres had in common was that he had heard them a thousand times, so he remembered most of the lyrics and songs.

If he couldn’t remember some of them, he would try to make up for it with his Basic Vocal Sound skill. When he tried singing them again, he would easily remember the original version.

With his support, Claire was doing pretty well among the newcomers.

Although the audience never saw her face because of her double-colored wig, they couldn’t resist being brainwashed by the catchy song, and were very curious about the masked singer.

Now, Claire could be considered... a C- or D-list singer.

For a rookie who had debuted less than three months ago, this was already a dazzling result.

Of course, Claire wasn’t too clear on this.

Luke had done far more for his sister than she knew, nor was he going to tell her about it.

Let her work hard and turn everything into something that truly belonged to her. That would be the best.

The siblings hadn’t called each other much during this period of time, and had only exchanged voice messages. This time, they chatted happily for almost two hours in the VIP lounge.

In the meantime, they ate a lot of bread and biscuits, as well as various flavors of ice cream, before their family’s flight arrived.

The family of five was reunited at the airport.

It was the first time Claire had been away from her family for so long, and she and little Joseph were so happy that they cried.

Luke stood on the side with a smile and took a photo of the siblings who were crying in each other’s arms. He showed the photo to Catherine, who hit him a few times in amusement, but didn’t stop him.

Her stinging eyes also eased with Luke’s cheeky behavior, and she didn’t cry along with her children.

A few minutes later, Robert and Luke, the two big, strong men, were in charge of towing the luggage along. They led the way, and the mother and children chatted as they walked.

In the parking lot, Luke got into the driver’s seat, Robert sat in the passenger seat, and the three of them sat in the spacious backseat.

Robert observed the car for a moment before he asked, “You modified it yourself?”

Luke nodded. “I drive every day, so it’s best to make it comfortable.”

Robert snorted. “First, it has to be safe. Second, it has to be practical. Comfort always comes last.”

Luke blinked. “That’s exactly what I did. That’s why it’s so big. It’s safe enough, and can take our entire family.”

Robert nodded in satisfaction.

He was a little worried that Luke’s head might be turned by all the money he now had.

Detectives weren’t rich. They couldn’t care less about the value of a car, and had to ensure their own safety first.

It was practically impossible for something like a sports car to be bulletproof.

Robert was a veteran who had fought his way through hundreds of battles. Naturally, he wasn’t interested in such trash.

After that, Luke acted like a tour guide and told them about interesting buildings and stories along the way as he drove.

This was all information he had memorized during this period of time. He mentioned whatever came to mind, and it didn’t affect his driving.

Robert was the only one in the family who was a little more familiar with New York. Even then, it was only a little.

Catherine had only stayed in New York for a few days on her last trip.

Claire and Joseph’s impression of New York was limited to film and TV.

Thus, everybody listened with great interest. Even though they were stuck in traffic for more than forty minutes, they didn’t feel bored.

After dropping his family off at the villa in New Jersey, Luke took Claire to his house in Clinton.

Claire went upstairs from the garage on the first floor and looked around the new house, and she was shocked. “Luke, is this your new place?”

In the kitchen, Luke put the snacks into a food box and replied casually, “Yes.”

Claire asked, “Then why aren’t we staying here?”

Luke said, “This place isn’t safe. It’s safe inside, but I can’t guarantee that it’ll be safe when you’re out. You’re here on vacation. You can’t be on edge all the time when you go out, right?”

Claire immediately thought of Joseph, who was only six, and accepted the explanation.

She was already very capable and wasn’t afraid of poor law and order, but it really wasn’t suitable for her weak little brother to live here.

Seeing her mumble, Luke threw a cookie at her.

Claire reacted quickly and caught it easily. She took a bite, and her eyes immediately lit up. She directly popped the entire cranberry cookie into her mouth. “Delicious. Did you make this?”

Luke said, “What, wait for you to cook? Look at you. I’m almost done packing, but you’re not moving anything into the car. Do you want them to starve?”

Claire chuckled and immediately stepped forward to help.

They soon set off again and returned to the villa on the other side of the river.

It soon got dark, and it was the night of Christmas Eve.

After enjoying an exceptional meal at home, everybody decided to go to Times Square to welcome the new year.

This was something that nobody had experienced before, so they were all excited.
