Beatrice nervously swallowed her saliva. "Well... it wasn't Felix who instigated this. If you're so capable, why don't you go find someone else?"
Allan sneered. "Do you know what happened to the person who instigated it back then? The grass on his grave is as tall as you!"
When Beatrice heard Allan's words, she took a big step back in fear.
"Don't believe me? Do you want me to take you there right now? Let's see if the grass on his grave is as tall as you!" Allan said, and Beatrice kept retreating before turning and running outside.
After Beatrice left, Mitch looked at Allan. "Did Miah's kid die?"
Allan looked at Mitch. "You didn't know?"
Mitch shook his head. "Did you do it?"
"That has nothing to do with Allan. It was because the kid bullied a little girl in town, and she ended up in a coma. He was scared and fell off his bike while trying to escape," Allan explained.
Before Allan could continue, Lachlan's voice came from the phone.
Allan glanced at Mitch and muttered, "I'm hanging up now."
He ended the call and looked at Mitch. "Aren't you going inside?"
Mitch asked in a roundabout way, "When are you going back to Viteto?"
Allan looked at Mitch and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Just asking," Mitch replied.
Allan put away his phone. "When are you going back? I'll go with you. With Evan in Manchester City, things will be fine."
Mitch nodded and turned to go inside, but he suddenly stopped and looked back at Allan. "Aren't you going to get your injuries checked?"
"No need," Allan replied, lifting his foot and walking towards Mitch. "You don't need to tell anyone."
Mitch frowned. "Did you lock Lachlan's mouth?"
Upon hearing Mitch's words, Allan chuckled softly. "He probably won't be able to come over before I leave. His dad will keep him at home."
"You're causing trouble again. They won't let their son play with you anymore, yet you're still fooling around," Mitch said in a low voice.
Allan retorted, "Uncle Sameer didn't let you guys play with me back then, did he? And now..."
He stopped midway through his sentence when he met Mitch's gaze, then changed the subject. "I've learned my lesson now."
Mitch snorted coldly but didn't say anything more. He turned and entered the house.
Reed, seeing Mitch and Allan come in, stood up and served the food. "Let's eat."
Allan rushed forward and took Mitch's seat, sitting next to Reed. Mitch glanced at Allan but remained silent.
They all tacitly avoided mentioning the incident with Beatrice at the dinner table.
After finishing their meal, Yanis and Zane prepared to go for a walk outside.
Taylor and Payne went to find their previous playmates.
Natasha and Mia went back to their rooms to pack their belongings.
In the kitchen, only Allan, Reed, and Mitch remained.
Allan saw Reed packing and stood up to help. However, before his hand could reach, Reed slapped it away with a loud sound.
Mitch looked up when he heard the noise, showing a hint of surprise. After all, in Mitch's memory, Reed was someone who would never resort to violence.
