Gavin Walker stared sternly at William Walker and demanded harshly.
William Walker chuckled and said, “Uncle, I haven’t been drinking. I just want everyone to know that in our Wang family, there are still people who don’t welcome this Boss Young.”
That was William Walker’s goal.
He wanted to use this method to stop Eugene Young from entering the Wang family openly and honorably. At the very least, he wanted to prevent Julia Walker from publicly announcing her close relationship with Eugene Young.
Maybe, there was still a chance to save the family from a major misfortune.
It’s true that Julia Walker is the old man’s daughter, but he is also the old man’s grandson. Why should all of the old man’s resources be exhausted on Julia Walker alone?
Now that William Walker was back, he was determined to stop this “tragedy” from happening.
However, it didn’t seem easy.
As a junior in the Wang family, he had no say at all. Even his father, Charles Walker, didn’t have much presence in this family. In comparison, William Walker’s presence was a bit stronger.
Gavin Walker shot him a fierce glare, then turned to Eugene Young, put on a big smile, and said politely, “President Young, kids don’t know any better and talk nonsense. Please don’t take it to heart… President Young, please come inside!”
Gavin Walker truly lived up to his reputation as a leader—his ability to handle troublesome situations far surpassed Julia Walker’s. He didn’t bother entangling with William Walker; with just a few words, he brushed him aside and directly welcomed Eugene Young.
He figured this kid wouldn’t dare cause any more trouble.
On this point, Gavin Walker was quite confident.
Sure enough, William Walker didn’t make any more noise, just watched Eugene Young with great interest.
Undoubtedly, this matter had already ignited Officer Walker’s fighting spirit.
Those who knew William Walker well understood that, although he usually seemed lazy and indifferent about everything, once something sparked his fighting spirit, he would become a completely different person. No matter how difficult or dangerous, he would see it through to the end.
Many major and complicated cases that seemed daunting to everyone else, William Walker dared to take on.
Why? It was all thanks to his tenacity!
Now that Eugene Young, this big troublemaker, had openly come to his house, if he didn’t fight it out, would he still be Ernest Walker?
Eugene Young ignored William Walker and exchanged a few polite words with Gavin Walker. Surrounded by the crowd, he walked proudly through the villa’s front door.
William Walker still wore that nonchalant smile, acting as if nothing had happened, and followed them inside.
Officer Walker had never been thin-skinned.
With twenty years as a veteran police officer, working at the grassroots level day and night, dealing with the darkest sides of society, shyness was long gone for him.
“Erzi…”
As soon as they entered, eldest aunt Lillian Walker called out to him, signaling with her eyes, and the two of them walked aside.
Actually, the house wasn’t that big, and people had already noticed them, but everyone was tactful enough not to interrupt.
William Walker’s unusual behavior today definitely needed an explanation.
Relatively speaking, eldest aunt Lillian Walker cared more about William Walker, and their relationship was closer.
“Erzi, what’s going on with you? Why are you picking a fight with President Young?”
Lillian Walker lowered her voice, her face full of worry.
William Walker just smiled, “Auntie, I’m not picking a fight with him. I just don’t like him… Hey, Auntie, I heard this guy is going to marry my younger aunt. Is that true? Does that mean I’ll have to call him uncle?”
Julia Walker had a failed marriage and got divorced a few years ago.
Lillian Walker looked a bit annoyed and scolded, “You’re just a kid, why are you meddling in so many things?”
“This isn’t meddling. She’s my aunt. If she marries the wrong person, of course I have to say something.”
William Walker said seriously.
“You…”
Lillian Walker shook her head repeatedly, seeming a bit angry as well.
“In any case, let me tell you, the old man hasn’t been in a good mood these days. You need to be careful not to upset him… Also, is it true that your parents’ factory isn’t doing well again?”
As she spoke, Lillian Walker secretly took two hundred yuan out of her pocket and slipped it into William Walker’s hand.
She knew her second brother and sister-in-law were struggling, supporting their child’s education with meager wages from the collective factory. Although William Walker’s police academy covered his food and lodging, it didn’t provide pocket money, so Lillian Walker would help her nephew out from time to time.
Among the four siblings, Lillian Walker had the softest heart and the gentlest personality. She could only help her second brother and sister-in-law in this way, not daring to try to reconcile the old man and her brother.
“Thank you, Auntie. My parents are doing fine…”
That was all William Walker could say.
His parents’ layoffs were something Charles Walker had warned him never to tell the family, no matter what.
Everything that followed went by the book.
William Walker didn’t cause any more trouble, and everyone seemed to have forgotten what had just happened—no one brought it up again. Only the occasional glances from Gavin Walker and Julia Walker were a bit gloomy.
As the birthday star, the old man was surrounded by everyone on the central sofa.
Howard Walker was tall and sturdy. Even in his seventies, he sat with a straight back and a booming voice, still displaying the bearing of a model soldier. Having spent his life in the “disciplinary forces,” these traits were deeply ingrained in his bones.
