“What does that have to do with me?” Kyle scoffed and got up to head back to his room.
John was surprised by his reaction. “Little Kyle, this is your family’s company. Of course, it has something to do with you-”
Bang!
Only the sound of the door being slammed shut answered John.
His temper is exactly the same as Mr. Seet’s! Like father like son!
John stood outside his door with a humiliated look on his face, at a loss of what to do.
When he spotted Blake, the family butler, his eyes lit up, and he immediately approached him. “Sir, what does Kyle usually like to do?”
Blake mused over the question for a while, then sighed.
“Kyle’s Lego collection and iPad have been confiscated by Mr. Seet. He usually likes to play with those.”
Lego and an iPad… That’s easy enough!
John rushed to a mall to buy the latest iPad version and ten Lego models. Then, he brought them back to Hillside Villa and knocked on Kyle’s bedroom door.
“Kyle, I bought for you your favorite Lego as well as an iPad. They’re all the latest and hottest models!”
After making his announcement, he waited outside, fully confident in himself.
Sure enough, the door opened after only a short while.
Kyle blinked at the pile of toys on the floor in surprise before transferring his gaze to John.
His eyes flashed with an array of emotions as he tried to figure out John’s intentions.
John chuckled awkwardly and explained, “I bought all of this for you. I’m happy as long as you like it. You don’t need to thank me.”
“Thank you?” Kyle curled his lips and feigned sympathy when he looked at him. “Don’t get me wrong. I’m actually worried for you.”
John’s brows creased in confusion.
“My dad confiscated my Lego and iPad, but here you are, bringing me ten different Lego models and a new iPad. Are you deliberately defying him?”
Huh?
John’s heart went cold. He didn’t mean it like this at all.
“My dad hates it the most when people go against him. Just think about the consequences.”
The consequences…
Evan’s cold and emotionless face appeared in John’s mind, making a chill run down his spine.
What was I thinking, coming to the president’s house and outright challenging his authority?
“Kyle, I better take these toys away first. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep my job if Mr. Seet gets angry!”
But Kyle didn’t answer him. He only took out his phone to snap photos of this pile of Lego models.
“My dad will know even if you take them away.”
With a calm look on his face, he showed the screen of his phone to John and waved the evidence in front of him.
“No…”
John was dumbstruck and could only suffer in silence because the retaliation would get him nowhere. “Kyle, I didn’t do anything to you. You can’t possibly do this to me.”
“Let’s make a deal. If you help me with something, then I’ll keep this a secret between us.”
“What is it?”
Kyle gestured for him to come closer. Following that, John leaned in and obediently put his ear next to the boy’s mouth.
Then, Kyle cupped a hand around his mouth and whispered something.
After he was done, John’s eyes widened in shock. “You want me to… No, no, no! Mr. Seet will kill me!”
Kyle wants me to find out where his mother is and dig up information about Mr. Seet’s woman. How can I do something like this?
