Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 847: Chapter 847: How Do You Know So Clearly If You’ve Never Been There_1

However, one has to admit, the little guy does have a point.

If it’s about being a bad role model in other respects, Adrian Zhekova doesn’t mind enlightening the little one.

For him to take as a warning.

But on the subject of Adrian Zhekova’s personal relationship matters, even if he’s progressive in his outlook on education, he can’t discuss it with his son who’s not even five years old yet.

“There are things I can tell you, others I can’t. I’ll wait until you’re older to discuss certain topics,” Adrian Zhekova said.

The little guy is full of zest and curiosity. If spoken to about these subjects now, he might actually comprehend them.

He pouted and continued eating his lunch.

Children, they are so underappreciated.

No one ever tells him anything.

A single phrase ‘you’re too young’ was enough to dismiss him.

Adrian Zhekova saw that the little one was sulking but didn’t throw a tantrum.

He didn’t insist on knowing what was being kept from him by wailing and causing a scene.

Adrian Zhekova then smiled faintly. His son is indeed well-behaved.@@novelbin@@

And so, the three of them finished their lunch together.

Adrian Zhekova then urged the little one to change into his outdoor clothes.

He and Cindy Clarke also returned to their bedroom to change.

And took this opportunity, Adrian Zhekova revealed to Cindy Clarke what he had held back from discussing in front of their son.

“Ethan Zhekova usually is a bit…” Adrian Zhekova pondered his wording for a moment, then continued, “carefree in his choices.”

“Given his usual indulgences, he wouldn’t ordinarily be found at a basic pub,” Adrian Zhekova stated.

“Ethan Zhekova has spots he frequents.” Adrian Zhekova said, “These places are not open to the general public, and it’s hard for your average person even to know about them.”

“Entry is often granted through a connection or a friend’s referral. Of course, the requirements are high. There are membership fees, which can range from several millions per year.”

“Naturally, the more expensive the place, the more unimaginable the activities.”

“Inside these places, there’s nothing they don’t cater to, making it a true gold-sink,” Adrian Zhekova explained.

“What exactly can be found there?” Hearing Adrian Zhekova describe it, Cindy Clarke became even more surprised.

“Let’s start with the basics, the ordinary food and drink, a single dish can cost several thousand. And it isn’t even necessarily that good. It’s more about aligning with the Clubhouse’s high-end image.”

“And of course, the customers who frequent such places are hardly strapped for cash. They aren’t going there for the food either. However, some people do conduct business there.”

“Because things are expensive, it appears more high-end,” Adrian Zhekova explained.

“The Clubhouse’s exclusive and secretive nature also makes it a suitable place for discussing important issues.”

“Besides these basic offerings, they also hold secretive auctions,” Adrian Zhekova added.

“Gambling isn’t involved?” Cindy Clarke asked.

“Gambling and drugs, these two are high risk, and the Clubhouses tend not to dip into these areas. Especially considering the fact that those who can afford to spend there are usually well-known or high-ranking individuals in society. Any scandal could lead to serious repercussions.”

“As opposed to drugs, they allow gambling within certain limits. It is done discretely, more like a game. While ordinary people may wager a little bit of money in games, if those individuals get involved, the stakes are much higher.”

“But the biggest money circulation is from auctions,” Adrian Zhekova explained, “Take for example items that are not so legally obtained. Goods stolen by grave robbers and sold on the black market. The more valuable items are auctioned at such places. It acts like a high-end black market.”

“Antiques that were smuggled overseas are sometimes resold by foreign buyers, due to various reasons, most often through such venues.”

Cindy Clarke sighed.

No wonder, Adrian Zhekova said the real money circulates there.

He referred to it as a gold sink.

The life of the rich is truly unimaginable.

“Besides these, of course, there are activities related to men and women,” Adrian Zhekova added.

“Multi-faceted activities, due to the Clubhouse’s secretive location and lack of restraint,” Adrian Zhekova said, “There are not many girls within the circle who are aware of these places, because the men wouldn’t tell them.”

“Financially independent women wouldn’t go there. Those without the means naturally wouldn’t have a way in.”

“Those who do go are usually from the fringe, like young models, who willingly participate in such activities for the money.”

“Thus, they are brought in and presented to clients for selection,” explained Adrian Zhekova.

“Isn’t that like a more expensive…” Cindy Clarke shyly left her sentence hanging.

Adrian Zhekova nodded: “Exactly.”

“They offer one-on-one, multi-on-one, and group engagements,” Adrian Zhekova elaborated.

“Remember the news exposé about a party on South Sea Island?” Adrian Zhekova asked. “The one where the outrageous happenings were leaked?”

Cindy Clarke nodded, she’d seen that exposé.

It caused quite a stir online.

Wave after wave of shocking revelations. It was a blatant challenge to societal norms.

“The activities at those Clubhouses would only be more excessive, more challenging to people’s sense of morality than what was leaked,” Adrian Zhekova said, “It just hasn’t been exposed yet.”

Bertrand York also owns a Clubhouse, named Red Roof.

But it’s nothing like the Clubhouse mentioned by Adrian Zhekova.

Bertrand York’s Clubhouse is simply a place for food and business discussions.

While the pricing is steep, the reasons are the excellent environment, good services, rarely found ingredients and unique dishes.

Also accounting for some margins.

However, it does not indulge in any underhanded activities.

Many people hear ‘Clubhouse’ and assume it’s a seedy place.

It’s tainted by the places that Ethan Zhekova and his circle frequent.

Without waiting for Cindy Clarke to ask, Adrian Zhekova quickly defended his innocence: “I have never been to the kind of place that Ethan Zhekova frequents!”

Cindy Clarke was startled.

She hadn’t even considered this issue yet.

But Adrian Zhekova brought it up himself.

Which made her think.

“You’ve never been, so how come you know so much about it?” Cindy Clarke asked.

She definitely trusts Adrian Zhekova.

This man, he’s the picture of rectitude.

It’s not only Adrian Zhekova asserting his innocence.

Even if someone tried to spread rumors that Adrian Zhekova had been or wanted to go to such places to Cindy Clarke,

She wouldn’t believe them.

After all, Adrian Zhekova gives her such a strong sense of security, it’s hard not to trust him.

The sort which doesn’t allow even a brief period of doubt to arise.

So even though Adrian Zhekova described it in detail, not a single doubt crossed Cindy Clarke’s mind.

The question Cindy Clarke asked is not because she has doubts about him.
