âOh boy, what are you doing?â
Mr. Brown stared blankly at the situation in front, his eyes wide open.
âShush!â
Harold immediately dragged Mr. Brown and squatted under the shade of the bushes.
âPapa Brown, please donât tell dad, okay?â
Mr. Brown looked at the screwdriver in Haroldâs hand before he glanced at the deflated tires. âOh boy, do you know what youâre doing?â âOf course I do!â Harold nodded hard. âYou were no different when you persuaded my mommy to drink, Papa Brown.â
Mr. Brown was speechless.
He had done it in secret. Why was he seen through by the young master so easily?
âPapa Brown, we share the same goals. Why donât we work together?â Harold blinked before he took out another screwdriver and handed it over. âYou also puncture Dadâs tires. That way, Mommy will be left with no cars to drive.â
Mr. Brown imagined himself being forced to stand in a corner as a punishment by Duke.
He was already old, so he really could not be humiliated like that.
Therefore , he returned the screwdriver . âYoung Master Harold , Iâll leave the car to you. I have something more important to do.â
Mr. Brown stood up and walked toward the mansion. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Duke and Adina walking out, side by side, and this shocked him so much that he nearly had a heart attack.
âMr. Brown, we heard your scream just now. What happened?â Adina asked.
âOh, nothing. I was just startled by a stray cat.â Mr. Brown stroked his nose and said, âI still have other matters to tend to. Iâll go inside first.â
After Mr. Brown spoke, he speedily disappeared to the first floor.
Adina frowned. âWhy do I find Mr. Brown a little weird?â
âHe is already old, so it must have done a number on his heart.â Duke raised his head and said, âStray cats have many viruses. Iâll go out and see where the stray cat came from.â
Adina walked outside with him.
It would not be too late to bring Alden and Melody home after chasing the stray cat away.
She was slightly drunk, so she tottered a little. When she followed Duke, her steps were unsteady.
As soon as they went out, a black figure jumped out from the side of the car.
Duke thought a stray cat had rushed over, so he stretched out his hand to the back, grabbed Adina, and hid to the side by instinct.
After he saw clearly who rushed over, his expression darkened. âHarold, why were you hiding beside the car?â
âNo⦠nothing!â Harold put both hands behind him, and he was so scared that his face turned pale. âIt was too hot inside the house, so I came out to get some fresh air. Haha! I donât feel so warm anymore.
Iâll go inside now!â
He immediately ran into the house.
Duke frowned. He knew by instinct that Harold must have been up to no good. While he thought about it, he felt the woman in his arms struggling He immediately let go of her, and he said in a deep and low voice, âIâm sorry. I thought it was a stray cat.â
Adina took a step back, tidied her collar, and said, âIâm okay.â
She looked down. After she calmed herself down, she was about to go inside and call the two kids out, but she suddenly froze in shock. âMy tiresâ¦.â
Duke coldly glanced over, and he suddenly understood what it was about.
Adina also understood.
Other than Harold, nobody would carry out such a boring act.
âI think Harold also wants you to stay for a night.â Dukeâs voice was slowly heard. âHeâs just a four-year-
old boy. He doesnât know right from wrong. I would like to apologize to you on behalf of him.â
Adina looked at him in surprise. âI was already expecting you to rush into the villa and teach Harold a lesson.â
