Just as Alexander spoke, Timothy suddenly received a phone call from his eldest son, Marvin. Timothy stepped aside to take the call.

On the other end of the call, Marvin's voice was dejected as he said, "Dad, the officials have also canceled their attendance."

Timothy's eyelid twitched violently. "What about the Petro family?" he asked urgently.
