Chapter 357: A Cue For Love Chapter 360

A Cue for Love Chapter 360 Revenge For Mommy “That’s what you think. It doesn’t mean Lionel shares your sentiments.” Yara approached Lia’s bed and sneered, “He only sees you as his sister. And yet, you harbor desires for him! If outsiders find out that he was adopted from the orphanage by your parents, do you think your uncles would still accord him the same level of respect? Once his identity is exposed, you’ll remain the princess of the Johnson family, but Lionel will fall from grace and have his world turned upside down.”

Despite the pain she felt, that was the threshold she couldn’t cross.

And it was for that same reason she went along with Yara’s plan to frame Natalie.

“If you know what’s good for you, you should keep your mouth shut,” Yara warned. “If I have a need for you going forward, you had better do as I say. Or else, you will have to suffer the consequences.”

Lia clenched her fists upon hearing Yara’s words.

When Lionel returned with the flowers in a vase, he saw Yara staring at Lia with a smile. “Lia, remember to obey your brother and have a good rest. I’ll drop by again when I’m free.”

Instead of responding, Lia pursed her lips.

Nonetheless, Yara didn’t care as she waved at Lionel.

“Bye, Lionel.”

“When did you get to know her? She looks pretty and seems to be a wonderful person,” Lionel casually remarked after putting the vase beside Lia’s bed.

However, Lia snapped, “Lionel, how can you like her when you don’t know anything about her?”

“Lia, I-”

When she saw the shock on Lionel’s face, Lia quickly realized that she had overreacted just now.

“Lionel, I’m tired and want to rest.”

Lia pulled up her blanket and covered it over her head.

Although she didn’t want to be Yara’s puppet, she couldn’t allow the secret to be revealed.

She didn’t mind the gossips that would ensue but was cognizant that Lionel couldn’t afford to do so.

At the same time, the guilt she felt over what she had done to Natalie continued to torment her.

Meanwhile, in a café near Starlight Kindergarten, Xavian and Clayton ordered a glass of milk and a piece of cake each.

The two brothers alone had attracted the attention of many ladies around them.

Nevertheless, they were already used to it and could filter out the gossip naturally.

Xavian opened the laptop he brought and began to type furiously on the keyboard. Green code appeared on the screen and seemed to be changing at a rapid pace.

After drinking a mouthful of milk, Clayton shook his head brazenly. “Xavian, given that the Johnson family dared to frame Mommy, let’s hack them and cause them to lose a hundred million.”

“I know.” Xavian nodded. “I saw the marks on Mommy’s neck too. Even though Mommy is more focused on the true mastermind, we still have to teach the Johnson family a lesson. If not for them, Mommy wouldn’t have to suffer.”

Exchanging glances with a smile, the brothers came to an agreement.

Given that Xavian’s hacking skills had been improving by leaps and bounds, a run-of-the-mill security expert was no longer a match for him.

While enjoying his cake, he wrote code to infiltrate the Johnson family’s financial systems.

After less than twenty minutes, Xavian pressed the enter button. At that moment, the Johnson Group’s financial systems received an alert, halting all of their major transactions.

“Clayton, it’s done.”

“Okay.”

As the brothers clinked their glasses of milk jubilantly, a ruthless glint flashed in their eyes.

They would never forgive anyone who hurt their mommy no matter who it was.

After they finished their cake, Xavian and Clayton planned to scale the wall back to their kindergarten.

When they arrived at an alley on their way back, they suddenly noticed the figure of an old man. He was holding onto his chest and grimacing on the ground.

As there was no one else in the alley, Xavian and Clayton hurried over without hesitation.

Getting on his knees, Clayton nudged the old man and asked anxiously, “Mister, can you hear me?”

The old man who had fainted was Kenneth.

He had come to see Franklin and Sophia at school but didn’t expect to collapse from chest pain.

The pain was so excruciating that he felt as if someone was tearing his heart apart. Just when he thought someone had come to help, he was filled with despair to see two kids instead.

“Argh…”

When he attempted to speak, the pain caused him to swallow his words.

Clayton was extremely intelligent. Although he had not officially studied medicine with Natalie, he had learned a lot just by being exposed to her work. Therefore, he was competent enough to make a diagnosis.

“Mister, you will be fine.”

Furrowing his brows, Clayton instructed Xavian, “Xavian, do you see that electrical pole? Call the ambulance right now, and give them the location stated on the blue sign there.”
