Chapter

Braint frowned

He turned his head in confusion. Daddys not the one behind this?” 

Last night, the butler had made sure that nobody was in the house except for Beau and Eliza. If Beau was not the culprit, then who was it? The butler harrumphed softly, “Braint, please come with me.Braint gave Beau a suspicious look before jumping off the desk. Then, he followed the butler to the control room with surveillance cameras

In the control room

The butler searched for the footage of the corridors of the house yesterday

In the picture, Eliza, who wa 

p ped in a bath towel, stumbled out of the bedroom

She was so drunk she couldnt even figure out where she was heading. So, she kept turning around randomly in different directions. When she turned left, she hit a huge vase. When she turned right, she hit a decorative piece of furniture from beside

Eliza grimaced in pain, but she still insisted on screaming at a flowerpot located in the corridor. Under the highdefinition camera, Braint could see Elizas arms and legs clearly. They were bruised when she hit the flowerpot. Not far away, Beau in his pajamas, was looking at her coldly with his arms crossed

When Eliza finally stopped moving, he got up and carried her back to her room

Braint stared at the video with astonishment

When he saw the injuries on Elizas body this morning, he thought that Beau had tortured her because he hated women

He didnt expect Eliza to hurt herself at all

He felt really disappointed in her

Braint, as you can see, Mr. Valentine has nothing to do with her injuries.” 

The butler sighed, She just got really drunk.” 

Braint pursed his lips and felt slightly embarrassed

However, he glanced sternly at Beau, who was standing at the door. You are also to blame in this matter.” 

Why were you just standing there when she was running around hurting herself?” 

Beau said indifferently, Have you noticed that some of my wine collections in the cabinet downstairs are missing?” 

Braints face turned pale

Beau didnt like socializing with the public and he felt uncomfortable around women. Besides his job, his hobby and his greatest pride laid in his wine collections at home

Each bottle of wine in the cabinet downstairs was not cheap

Braint bit his lips. Something struck his mind as he stormed out of the room. I have something to do. so Ill take my leave now.” 

Didnt you say that she is your person?” 

Beau squatted down and stopped Braint from leaving. You need to take responsibility for what she did.

Braint didnt know what to say

Daddys so rich. Why did he extort money from me?

Feeling reluctant, Braint took out his phone and transferred ten thousand dollars to Beau. Ill pay you back by installments.” 

After that, he brushed Beaus hand off his shoulders and ran away. The butler stared at Braints back in shock. Sir, it looks like you married the right woman.” 

Beau nodded. He seemed to be preoccupied with something as he watched Braint leave

Braint! Why did you transfer my allowance to daddy?” 

Anger was brewing in the childre 

room. Demarion put his hands on his waist and shouted

Grandpa told me I can use that money to buy a remotecontrolled toy car!” 

Braint crossed his legs elegantly as he said, Daddy said hell throw Eliza out of the house if I dont give him the money.After that, he looked at Demarion sadly. I dont really care about that. However, you wont be able to enjoy the food she cooks anymore.” 

Demarion hesitated when he heard that

All right then.The remotecontrolled car was not as important as having delicious food to eat every day

Daddys wine is just too expensive.” 

Braint sighed. Eliza finished millions worth of wine yesterday. We wont be able to pay off her debts, even if we combine our allowances.” 

Demarion frowned as he paced back and forth in the room anxiously

A few million, huh? Thats worth hundreds of remotecontrolled cars!he thought. Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind

Braint, why dont we start addressing Eliza as mommytomorrow? We can prompt daddy to date Eliza!” 

Braint smirked and an evil expression flashed across his face. He nodded confidently. That makes sense.When daddy is in love, I’m sure hell be infatuated with Eliza, and hell forget about all the money she owes him!”

Its settled then!” 

Demarion jumped up excitedly. Lets devise a plan for daddy to fall in love with Eliza! Oops... I mean mommy!” 

When he saw Demarion rushing to his desk, Braint said satisfactorily, Since you always have a lot of weird ideas, Ill leave the task to you. Right now, Ill go downstairs.” 

 The sound of water splashing echoed from the kitchen. Eliza was now cleaning up the dishes

Five years ago, when Eliza realized that she wasnt part of the Lawson family anymore, she started doing chores around the house out of guilt

At first. Presley and Riley still treated her with respect. As time went on, the Lawsons left all the household chores to Eliza. They didnt even bother to hire housemaids anymore

Gradually, she developed the habit of helping around the house every day

Come here.” 

Braint pulled Eliza out of the kitchen and said, You dont have to do anything. The housemaids will take care of the dishes.” 

After that, he pulled Eliza back to the sofa and made sure she sat down. You shouldnt drink anymore in the future.” 

Braint looked at Eliza grimly, Its not good for your health.” 

Deep down, he thought, Your drinking habits will drain both me and Demarions allowance.

Eliza pursed her lips and saia 

pishly, To be honest, I don‘t really like drinking.” 

She was just upset when she saw Jay and Madeleine on the news yesterday

Her mood changed for the worst at the thought of the loving couple

After a while, she pretended to be relaxed and smiled. Its all in the past anyway.” 

I wont embarrass myself like that ever again in the future.”
