Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 1048

Peter turned serious.

He had always been similar in personality to Justin—after all, the latter had raised him single-handedly. Peter said seriously, "The lab is forcibly keeping its employees here."

His words made Nora raise her brows. "Forcibly?"

"Yes."

Peter explained, "They refuse to let the employees leave. Now that you guys are here, 1 reckon they'll also start monitoring you. They will never let me return to the States—after all, I'm one of the talents they specially picked. They gave me a lot of benefits and even promised me real estate. The salary is also high..."

But was he someone short of money?

Peter had never revealed his true identity to outsiders, that was all.

Nora said, "You didn't make us come all the way here just because of that, did you?" Not only was Peter a skilled martial artist himself, but he also had a few other guards by his side. He could easily escape anytime, so he didn't need to have them personally make a trip here if it was just about that.

A disapproving Justin also remarked, "You can't even get away by yourself when the surveillance is this lax? How useless!"

Peter:

The corners of his lips spasmed and he glanced at Mia.

Now that he had grown up, he didn't like being embarrassed in front of others. In particular, he was especially unaccustomed to being chastised by his parents in front of Mia.

He touched his nose—the boy had also picked up Justin's little habits—and answered, "I'm not talking about myself."

"My colleagues are affected too."

He looked up at Nora and said, "Mom, I have 23 colleagues from America who are also facing the same situation. All of them are Harvard and MIT graduates. After they left the country to pursue further studies, they didn't return to America even once. Because of this, they were even flamed by netizens on the Internet, but not all of them had stayed here of their own volition. It's because they ended up becoming exposed to high-end industries under their lecturer's guidance when they were still university students, resulting in them being forced to stay here and being forbidden from returning to America.

"They want to go back too..."

"There are many others like them."

There were already 23 such cases in Peter's school alone. Moreover, most of them had even gotten married and started a family there, so they wanted to return to their country with their wives, husbands, and children.

But there was only so much Peter could do.
