Invincible Heir novel Chapter 147

Jerome didn’t dare stand in his way. He nodded hurriedly, making incoherent sounds.

Back then when Baron had slammed his face into the tea table, his nose had collapsed and he’d chipped several teeth.

His face was swollen too much to speak.

Only then did Baron walk off, stopping at the doorway. “I’ll give you one night to consider. I’ll be waiting at the Domom SPA tomorrow before ten!”

With that, Baron left.

Jerome’s body went slack, his back drenched with cold sweat.

By the time Baron made it back to the mansion, it was dark.

“Baron, you’re back!”

Seeing him, Yuri greeted him right away.

Baron looked her over. Her expression was normal and there was life in her eyes that didn’t seem faked. Which meant that what had happened today was well and truly over.

“Are you worried what happened in the afternoon will leave me traumatized?”

Yuri walked over and took his arm, giggling.

Baron took his arm back without a hint, smiling, “Well, looks like you’re fine!”

But the moment he extracted his arm, Yuri clung on to it again, beaming, “From this day on, Baron, I’m going to call you my brother!”

“Huh?”

Baron started. “What do you mean by that?”

“I’ve wanted a brother since I was young. I’ve lived for over twenty years, and you’re the only person who’s given me that brotherly feeling. So from today forward, I’m going to call you brother!”

Yuri swayed on Baron’s arm, giggling.

Seeing Yuri clinging to baron’s arm, Tracy grew a bit jealous and walked up, pulling her off. “All right. Let’s get your brother-in-law some dinner first before we talk about something else.”

“Sis, I already told you, he’s my brother now, not just some in-law!” Yuri rolled her eyes.

Exasperated, Tracy said, “Fine, okay, he’s your brother. Now if you’d just let your big brother have his dinner?”

“What are you blathering about?”

Sherry had jogged up out of nowhere, her face darkening as she heard the sisters’ conversation.

“I’m taking Baron as my big brother, what do you mean blathering?” Yuri said, displeased.

After Sherry had hurt her so thoroughly last time, Yuri still hadn’t forgiven her.

“Hmph!”

Sherry said coldly. “Didn’t Edward Lewis owe you one? Or else he wouldn’t have given you this mansion.”

She didn’t know that Baron had bought the mansion himself. After last time at the Starry Garden, when Edward had told her personally that Baron had helped out the Lewis family, she’d thought that this mansion had been given to Baron to pay back the favor.

“Mom, Baron bought this mansion. What’s that got to do with the Lewis family?” Tracy explained.

“Five years ago, he stole five hundred thousand from your dad. How would he be able to afford this luxurious mansion after five years of military service?” Sherry mocked.

“That’s enough out of you, Sherry!”

At that moment, a furious voice rang out from the doorway. Terry had come home from work.

“Five years ago, Baron did borrow five hundred thousand from me, but that was to save his mother. It was just a pity that his mother passed away before he could bring the money to the hospital.”

Terry’s face was cold. “Baron gave us the money back the following day. You know that. You even argued with me over lending that money to Baron. But the moment Baron gave us that money back, you lent it to your niece instead. It’s been five years, and I still haven’t seen your niece give us back that money!”

“Terry Perry, what is this nonsense?”

Sherry went on the defensive, denying everything.
