Chapter 439
“Oh boy, what are you doing?”
Mr. Brown stared blankly at the situation in front, his
eyes wide open.
“Shush!”
Harold immediately dragged Mr. Brown and squatted under the shade of the bushes.
“Papa Brown, please don’t tell dad, okay?”
Mr. Brown looked at the screwdriver in Harold’s hand before he glanced at the deflated tires. “Oh boy, do you know what you’re doing?” “Of course I do!” Harold nodded hard. “You were no different when you persuaded my mommy to drink, Papa Brown.”
Mr. Brown was speechless.
He had done it in secret. Why was he seen through by the young master so easily?
“Papa Brown, we share the same goals. Why don’t we work together?” Harold blinked before he took out another screwdriver and handed it over. “You also puncture Dad’s tires. That way, Mommy will be left with no cars to drive.”
Mr. Brown imagined himself being forced to stand in a corner as a punishment by Duke.
He was already old, so he really could not be humiliated like that.
Therefore , he returned the screwdriver . “Young Master Harold , I’ll leave the car to you. I have something more important to do.”
Mr. Brown stood up and walked toward the mansion. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Duke and Adina walking out, side by side, and this shocked him so much that he nearly had a heart attack.
“Mr. Brown, we heard your scream just now. What happened?” Adina asked.
“Oh, nothing. I was just startled by a stray cat.” Mr. Brown stroked his nose and said, “I still have other matters to tend to. I’ll go inside first.”
After Mr. Brown spoke, he speedily disappeared to the first floor.
Adina frowned. “Why do I find Mr. Brown a little weird?”
Duke frowned. He knew by instinct that Harold must have been up to no good. While he thought about it, he felt the woman in his arms struggling He immediately let go of her, and he said in a deep and low voice, “I’m sorry. I thought it was a stray cat.”
Adina took a step back, tidied her collar, and said, “I’m okay.”
She looked down. After she calmed herself down, she was about to go inside and call the two kids out, but she suddenly froze in shock. “My tires….”
Duke coldly glanced over, and he suddenly understood what it was about.
Adina also understood.
Other than Harold, nobody would carry out such a boring
act.
“I think Harold also wants you to stay for a night.” Duke’s voice was slowly heard. “He’s just a four-year-old boy. He doesn’t know right from wrong. I would like to apologize to you on behalf of him.”
Adina looked at him in surprise. “I was already expecting you to rush into the villa and teach Harold a lesson.”
