chapter 49
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âIâm sorry. Iâve been calling over ten times, but her phone is switched off. Iâm still trying to call her,â Ms.
Longman nervously uttered. âIâve just been transferred here, and Iâm not familiar with the students yet.
But Iâll give you my full cooperation.ââMr. Nacht, can you show me the video?â Lexie asked tentatively.
Ben then handed her the phone.
After looking at the video, Lexie remarked, âThis boy isnât Robbie; itâs Jamie. Although they look identical, they carry themselves differently.â
âJamie?â Ben was stunned. âAre they twins?â
âTheyâre triplets,â Lexie explained. âThe oldest is Robbie, and the middle child is Jamie. These two look the same. The youngest is a girl called Ellie.â
âEllie should be the kid who came up our car chasing after the parrot the last time.â Ben finally realized what was going on. âI was wondering why both kids have parrots. They come from the same family.â
âHurry up and bring Jamie here,â Ms. Longman instructed Lexie.
âJamieâs is in the field now. Iâll look for him right away.â Lexie hurried out.Ms. Longman then crouched down and patiently said to Robbie, âRobbie, trust me. Theyâre not bad guys. If you know where the chip is, just tell them, all right?â
Robbie was already hesitating by now. If the man in black really gave the chip to Jamie, that meant these people were not lying. If they were not lying, that meant they were not evil.
âKid,â Ben started. âThe blueprint for our companyâs new technology is in that chip, but the bad guy has stolen our chip. If we canât get it back, someone will use our blueprint. Not only will our company suffer a loss, but itâll also cause trouble in the public.â
âAll right.â In the end, Robbie chose to believe them. He raised his head and uttered seriously, âFifi ate that chip, but it hasnât pooped it out yet. When it poops it out, I can give it back to you.â
âWhat do you mean? Can you say that again?â Ben urged. âWho is Fifi?â
âYouâre dumb. Fifiâs our pet parrot.â
âYouâre dumb. Fifiâs our pet parrot.â
Those words were spoken at the same time, just in different places. Those were the words Jamie said to the man in black at a corner of the field.
âDo you mean your pet parrot ate the chip?â The manâs brows were knitted.
âThatâs right.â Jamie nodded.
Then, he continued in great detail. âIt lost its appetite after eating the chip, and itâs been depressed too.
Moreover, it keeps plucking its own feathers. Mommy, Mrs. Berry, Robbie, Ellie, and I brought it to the vet, and the vet said it has indigestion. So, he gave Fifi some medication and said itâll be all fine once it poops. Thatâs why Iâm watching it poop every day. I wonder if itâll poop that golden thingy out.â
âWell, has it poop it out?â the man questioned.
Jamie took out a box from his bag and handed it to him. âTake a look for yourself.â
The man then took it and opened the box. In it was a beautifully wrapped package.
Delighted, he promptly tore the packageâ¦
It was another layer beneath the first layer. Sweating buckets, he continued to tear through the layers until there were none left. When he pulled the last layer away, he found a pile of poop. What?
âThisâ¦â The man stared at the pile of feces as the corner of his mouth twitched.
âIâm scared itâll poop it out while Iâm not home, and Mrs. Berry will throw the poop and the golden thingy away, so Iâve been wrapping its poop every morning. Then, Iâll check the poop when Iâm in school.â
As he spoke, Jamie grabbed a stick from under the tree and crouched down. He then started checking the pile of feces.
âMove aside. Iâll do it.â
Looking at Jamieâs slow actions, the man snatched his twig and started stabbing the feces. In a few seconds, he broke the stick.
