“Dad, what’s wrong?” Carmen asked nervously.

Ronald shot her a disapproving look. “Where are you going? I told everyone to stay home unless necessary.”

The family had planned a Christmas getaway to a hot spring island, but with the Rosepoly crisis, they needed to wrap up loose ends first.

After the Rosepoly Group incident, Alice, Daxton, and Trevor were all away from home, having been advised to stay out for a while longer to avoid being hounded by reporters upon their return.

At home, both Carmen and the household staff had been warned to be wary of reporters’ persistent questioning.

Ronald, too distracted to question it, waved a hand. “Take bodyguards. And come straight back. The last thing we need is more media trouble.”

Ronald snapped, “Don’t dawdle-just come straight back. If reporters spot you, it’ll only stir up more trouble.”
