Chapter 839
Harry took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over to Miles with a solemn face. "Here's a gift for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Harry. Uncle is wise and invincible.’ Miles was elated.
The envelope was thin, seeming that there was not a lot of cash in it.
Miles stuffed the envelope into his pocket, turned his head, and winked at Catelyn.
Kelly teased Miles a little. "Young Master Miles, didn't you just say that Mister Atherton was more handsome?"
"That's because Uncle Harry paid me." Miles raised his lips to act cool.
Harry laughed and asked, "You're not even four years old, but you already like money this much?"
"A gentleman loves money, and I'm no exception." Miles pulled his collar handsomely and coolly said, "Because you gave me money. When I grow up and make a lot of money in the future, you can come and borrow some from me if you become poor."
Everyone was amused except Catelyn, who covered her face out of embarrassment.
However, no one noticed that Harry's smile was perfunctory.
When he saw Catelyn and Miles, a flash of anger showed in his eyes.
In Sylvie's will, one-third of her estate was left to Summer, even though no one knew if she was still alive or not.
'She never knew how poor I am!'
The Atherton Manor covered a vast area. Catelyn and Miles were not familiar with the manor. Hence, after having breakfast, they took a tour around the manor in a sightseeing car.
They were amazed by the palace-like design of the manor.
Near noon, Sylvie received a call from a doorman saying that Draco and Cedrick had arrived at the manor's main gate.
She looked through the glass windows into the depths of the distant manor. Catelyn had taken Miles to the garden. Therefore, she refused coldly without thinking, "Let them leave."
The doorman told the two exactly what Sylvie had said. Then Draco said something to him, and then he dialed back again, "Old Madam Atherton, Elder Mason said that he came to apologize in person to you. He said that you asked them to apologize yesterday."
Sylvie sneered, "If it's an apology, they should be more sincere. I don't want to see them now, so tell them to leave."
Cedrick could hear what Sylvie said, standing beside the doorman, and snatched the phone's receiver.
"Old Madam Atherton, I know you don't want to see US, but we're here today with a gift for Catelyn. Are you sure you want to reject our gift on her behalf?" Cedrick's voice came from the receiver.
Sylvie stood in front of a pot of fresh flowers, holding scissors in one hand to trim the branches and holding the phone in the other hand. Her face sank immediately when she heard such a disrespectful question from Cedrick.
"Then tell me, what gift did you bring?"
