The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2236

Eastcliff, the Dunn family.

Before Helen arrived home, her parents, as well as her siblings, knew about the scandal of the Schulz family and also Sheldon's illegitimate daughter.

Therefore, before she returned, Lord Dunn urged the other siblings to go home.

Lord Dunn and Lady Dunn knew Helen's temperament and character very well. They knew that as soon as Helen learned about this, she would definitely come home, so they didn't call her, nor did they let others call her, and they gathered at home to wait for her return. 4

When Helen's car drove into the Dunn residence, her parents and siblings came out to welcome her.

When Helen saw her whole family appearing in front of her, she was exceptionally moved.

Unlike other families who were into business and industrialization, the elders of the Dunn family held important positions in politics and academics, hence, money was never an issue in the family. 4

It was because they didn't care about money that there was not much of a rivalry between the Dunn family's siblings.

Among the offsprings, some had assumed political positions in Lord Dunn's department that promised excellent career prospects; some concentrated on their own profession in the top universities or research institutes; some became the rarely known Confucian entrepreneurs who seldom showed their enormous wealth. 4

As for Helen and her sisters, they had each built their own families.

Under Lady Dunn's upbringing, the women of the Dunn family were not too career-minded. On the contrary, they were all capable of running a family, and each one of them possessed extremely good virtues of the traditional Oskian women. 4

As soon as Helen got out of the car, Lady Dunn stepped forward and held her hand, saying softly, "Oh, Helen, welcome home. You've been through so much."

Helen smiled faintly and said, "Hi, Mom. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Lord Dunn, who stood by their side, said, "Helen, it's been a while since we've all gotten together. Come, I've asked the servants to burn the charcoal fire. Let's have a hot pot meal together later!" One of the most popular dishes among the older generation of Eastcliff citizens was a hot pot in a copper pot.

Unlike the hot pots that used induction or gas stoves, the old generation of Eastcliff citizens must use a copper pot with a hollow interior and charcoal flames for their hot pot. This method had been popularized since the imperial palace time. 3

The winter in Eastcliff was very cold, so eating hot pot was a wonderful treat this season.

For five generations, the Dunn family offsprings had been born and raised in Eastcliff, therefore, the hot pot was their most favorite meal.

It was just that over the years, all the children had started their own families, and the situation of each family was different. Although everyone often came home to visit their parents, it was not easy for all of them to get together.

Hence, Lord Dunn had immediately thought of having a happy and harmonious meal together as a family. It would be odd if they came over specifically to comfort Helen.

Sure enough, once they heard that they were going to eat hot pot, they were overwhelmed and grinned in glee even though it was almost midnight.

The youngest of them all, Harmony Dunn, was Helen's youngest sister. She came forward to hold Helen's arm excitedly and said with a wide grin, "Helen, I have a few days to spare, so I plan to stay here for a couple of days. Let's sleep together for a few nights, okay?" 4

Helen smiled and said, "Tonight is fine, but not tomorrow. I want to go to Aurous Hill tomorrow." "What?" Everyone looked at Helen in astonishment.

Helen's father, Lord Jefferson Dunn asked, "Helen, are you going to Aurous Hill because of Curtis Wade?"

Helen nodded and said frankly, "Yes, Father. I've always wanted to go, but I couldn't. Now, I can't be bothered anymore, so I want to go there as soon as possible to fulfill my wish."

Jefferson couldn't help feeling a bit despondent and sorrowful. "Oh, Curtis... It was one of my biggest regrets not being able to let Curtis be my son-in-law..."
