“I said, since she wants it, give it to her,” Justin repeated his words for Frankie.

“Burton Group’s plan to buy Hudson Pharmaceuticals will end here. Tomorrow morning, inform the team in charge and tell them that the team is dismissed.” “President Burton, do you want to think it through first?”

“There’s no need.” After Frankie heard that, his jaws dropped. Losing Hudson Pharmaceuticals was quite a big matter for the Burton Group as it had been planned for a few years. Besides that, the pharmaceutical products that were about to be launched by the Hudsons might play a big role in the future market.

Nonetheless, Justin actually handed everything over with one simple sentence. Hence, Frankie felt that he must be in a dream.

Three days later, it was Saturday. The Bilingual Elementary’s students embarked on their outdoor camping activity from Riverdale.

Early in the morning, Rachel brought the two children to meet up with the other parents at the school’s entrance. After getting onto the big bus, it took around 3 hours before they reached Astoria’s Cloudy Mountain Highland.

“Later on, we’ll be forming a tent for each family. There will be a teacher to guide you as you pitch your respective tents. If it’s any parent’s first time joining our camping activity, questions are always welcomed. Okay, we’ll dismiss and take a break.”

After the leading teacher announced the dismissal, all families that were standing in front of the bus spread out.

Rachel, who was with Samuel and Charlotte, was staring at the tent feeling flustered. Scratching the back of his head, Samuel said, “Mommy, the three of us can’t pitch a tent.”

Rachel said, “It’s alright, let me try.” After that, she pulled out the guide that was inside a bag that was filled with tent-pitching tools. The moment she saw the instructions, she already felt like giving up before she had even started. She then admitted, “It seems that it’s really quite hard.”

However, Charlotte asserted, “Mommy, the guide isn’t hard. The three of us just don’t have the strength to support the tent. The frame is very heavy, and both Samuel and I can’t move it.”

Rachel couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when Charlotte said that the guide wasn’t difficult. After all, both the children were talented smart kids. In some aspects, Rachel could only admit that she was not good enough. After scrutinizing the frame and its components, she was a little dispirited. “It’s pretty heavy indeed.”
