However, for the sake of their plan, Thea York went to make the soup after all.
After she finished making the pear soup, ’Christian’ demanded other things to eat and other games to play. Two hours later, Thea York and Mrs. York were both drenched in sweat.
Zachery, nestled on the sofa, thought, ’This trip wasn’t a waste. These two may have nasty mouths, but they work fast and get things done. It’s great!’
...
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Iris Sloan was frantic. "How could we let Christian go? Thea York might put on an act, but that mother of hers... What if Christian gets bullied?"
Mia and the real Christian exchanged a look. "’Christian’ won’t be bullied."
But Iris Sloan shook her head. "You don’t know Mrs. York. The original Mrs. York was literally driven to her death by that woman’s provocations. She coaxed Chairman York into kicking out his own legitimate daughter. A woman like that has a silver tongue. I’m just afraid..."
A silver tongue? ’Then there’s even less to worry about,’ Mia thought silently. ’Who could possibly have a sharper tongue than Zachery?’
...
「The York Family Villa.」
Thea York shot Mrs. York a look, and Mrs. York nodded sinisterly. ’This little brat actually dares to order us around. Time to teach him a lesson!’
Thea York asked, "Christian, did you have fun today?"
Zachery replied lazily, "Yeah, it was fun."
Mrs. York put on a superior air and let out a faint, deliberate laugh. "I’m glad you had fun. After all, you might not have this chance again."
Zachery blinked. ’These two don’t actually think I’m happy because they fed me and gave me things to drink, do they?’
His expression didn’t change a bit. "Oh? Why’s that?"
Thea York immediately put on a coy expression.
Mrs. York’s eyes darted around, and she covered her mouth as she chuckled. "Because Thea is about to become the new Mrs. Sloan, of course!"
"And when that happens, when Thea becomes the mistress of the Sloan Family and has her own child, you won’t be important anymore!"
As Mrs. York spoke, she watched ’Christian’s’ face with a grim gaze, eager to see the hurt and disappointment on it.
However, after a long wait, ’Christian’ just looked up blankly and asked, "What did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly."
Mrs. York felt a lump of frustration catch in her throat, and the atmosphere suddenly grew strange.
She repeated herself, her voice thick with humiliation and anger, "I said, Thea is about to become Mrs. Sloan! And when she’s Mrs. Sloan, you won’t be important anymore!"
Zachery scratched his head. "Why wouldn’t I be important?"
Mrs. York was exasperated. "Because Thea will have her own son!"
Zachery feigned surprise. "What does it have to do with me if Aunt York has her own son?"
Mrs. York wondered if there was something wrong with the child’s brain. "Because Thea is marrying into the Sloan Family!"
Zachery asked, "If she marries into the Sloan Family, why do I become unimportant?"
Mrs. York was about to explode. "Because Thea will give birth to the new heir of the Sloan Family!!"
After yelling, Mrs. York suddenly realized she’d been played by Christian Sloan again!
She was instantly overcome with uncontrollable rage and stood up, ready to slap Zachery across the face!
"Oh... I see now. Aunt York is going to marry into the Sloan Family and give birth to the Sloan Family heir," Zachery said faintly just then.
