Chapter 916 How Many Grandfathers Do I Have

Carla was helping Carrie guard the palace. "Callie, I'll make sure to find a position where you don't have to work in shifts. I'll arrange a meeting with your grandfather as soon as possible. I'm just waiting for the right time."

Carrie ushered Carla to a quiet corner, looked around to check if they were by themselves, and whispered in her ear.

"In Yu Sea City, there is no difference between maternal and paternal grandfathers. We just call them grandpa. Moreover, your mom's mother had three husbands. Your biological grandfather, Arthur, is her legal husband. So don't get confused, OK?"

Carla's eyes widened with shock as Carrie's words were a little hard for her to digest. She took deep breaths and tried to calm down. ''Err ... You mean I have three grandfathers?"

Carla was taken aback. She was not aware of having three grandfathers. Yu Sea City was indeed a strange place. Carrie knitted her eyebrows, trying to read Carla's expression.

"Oh, it's a little strange for you. Isn't it? Your grandmother is the chief of Yu Sea City. It's normal for her to have many husbands." she said, shrugging casually. "Your grandmother's other two husbands didn't have children with her. So you don't have to worry about them,"

Carrie said like it was the most common thing in the world, as if she did not have to explain to Carla about it.

Yu Sea City was no different from other parts of the world where wealthy men had several spouses.

Women were equal to men here and they had several husbands.

Carla was pretty shaken up and had to pull herself together. Perhaps it was her culture and education preaching monogamy that made it hard for her to accept. Although Carla was aware of the local customs in several places where people had several spouses, they were merely gossip and entertainment to her.

It was a hard pill to swallow.

No wonder that Terence was worried about Carla when she decided to come here.

He was perhaps worried that she would pick up the customs and traditions of this place.

"I get it, Auntie Carrie. Would it be possible for you to arrange my position near the banquet? I want to know more about the powerful people here,"

Carla said. She wanted to make the most of this opportunity to meet the people of Yu Sea City.

"That won't be a problem. But I don't think your grandmother will be joining us today. She is getting older, and she has never been fond of boisterous parties."

"What about my grandfather? Are you sure he will come?"

Carla asked worriedly.

"Of course. I have informed him that you are his granddaughter and that

is clearly annoyed. Mother would definitely be upset to see him like this."

Lori frowned as she glanced at Steven.

Lucia smiled, trying to swallow her embarrassment. She cleared her throat and whispered to Steven, "Steven, I have brought you here because I want you to meet my family. Please cut the attitude and show some respect, please."

Steven looked at her and unpacked his bag without saying a word.

Steven was in no mood to interact with the people and therefore, had brought his art supplies to kill time.

Lucia was annoyed that Steven was constantly ignoring her. "Don't forget, that woman is still in Yu Sea City," she grunted. "I will find her and throw her in the ocean for the sharks to eat."

She was seething with anger and couldn't understand why the man was completely uninterested in her.

Steven paused for a second, looked at Lucia, and continued to draw.

Steven was not afraid of Lucia's threats anymore. If she could find Carla, she would have ended her life a long time ago. But Lucia was merely threatening him to get things done.

It had been days since Carla had left and Steven was not that stupid to let Lucia have her way with everything.

Lori, who was sitting in the back seat, listening to their conversation, was controlling her laughter. It was funny to see her sister under the mercy of this man.

Lucia was a powerful woman who could have everything with just a snap of a finger. Lori couldn't stop laughing at her struggling to keep Steven under control.

Just then, a loud voice resonated through the crowd.

"Grandpa Arthur is here. Get up all of you!"

The younger children stood up politely, thumped their chest, and bowed down to pay their respects to Arthur.
