"Even Jillian doesn’t really listen to Joseph anymore. I heard from our parents that Joseph hasn’t been home recently; he’s been staying at the guard team base. Joseph told Jillian not to deal with the Chip Family, and although Jillian agreed verbally, she secretly gets swindled and gives money away easily to them."

James Carter said, "The three members of the Chip Family have money again, so they’re causing trouble, and Jillian’s helping to sort it out. If she keeps on like this, sooner or later she’ll suffer the consequences of her disobedience."

"Joseph told her that even if the Chip Family wanted to expose something, there’s no evidence, and nobody would believe what they say. But Jillian is insecure; she thinks if the Chip Family spills the beans, it’ll ruin her. So she always compromises on their excessive demands."

Joseph tried to persuade her, but couldn’t, and it made Jillian resent him instead.

The grandparents Carter had long since stopped caring about Jillian.

And in front of Father and Mother Carter, all Jillian does is complain, constantly bad-mouthing Jane Sampson. Father and Mother Carter, who have been disappointed by Jillian many times, don’t believe her anymore. They even suspect Jillian of hiding something again.

"It’s getting cold, you should head back." James Carter said, "I’ll be staying in the Capital Province for a few days, and then I’ll leave with you."

"Alright, help me book flight tickets for me, Coco, and Harry Little Money. I’ll send the information to you later." Jane Sampson acknowledged, urging James Carter to get in the car first before waving him off. She then started to move slowly, dragging her overly heavy stuff inside.

A young team member on duty saw Jane Sampson struggling and was about to help when he saw James Black walking over from a distance.

"Sister-in-law, the Chief is here, why don’t you wait and let him help you with that?" the young team member suggested, then added a reminder, "Sister-in-law, it’s chilly now, remember to wear a scarf when you go out, or you might catch a cold."

"Alright, I’ll remember next time!" Jane Sampson replied cheerfully with a smile.

"What were you talking about?" James Black came over and took the stuff out of Jane Sampson’s hand. Immediately recognizing the smell of seafood, he guessed, "Was James Carter just here?"

Only Jane Sampson’s birth parents would be so enthusiastic about bringing her seafood, knowing how much she liked it.

"It was Brother." Jane Sampson nodded, "We’re having an extra meal tonight! Invite Peter Gingery over."

Peter Gingery, who knew there would be large crab for dinner, was delighted all the way over. Seafood cooks quickly; once home, a quick clean-up and steaming maintain the original flavor of the seafood. Once done, it was ready to eat.

"I feel that since you found your biological parents, Jane, my happiness has increased several times over." Peter Gingery also loved seafood, but such delicacies were rare at the guard team base.

The seafood the Carter Family prepared for Jane Sampson was top quality, rarely seen in the market, and Peter Gingery ate it with great joy.

After the Carter Family met the Black Family, they sent seafood to the Black Family several times as well. When Peter Gingery went back to the Black Residence, he occasionally got to enjoy a meal or two.

The home Aunt’s culinary skills are excellent, giving Peter Gingery a meal that lingered in his memory for a long time.

"By the way, James Black, today I went to the Rice Family. Starting tomorrow, I will be shadowing Auntie Rice to get a feel for being a lawyer. From then on, I won’t be home for lunch after breakfast every day. After a week, I’ll be participating in the movie promotion." Jane Sampson remembered to tell James Black about this.
