The racket in the courtyard could be heard loud and clear within the house.
Hansen was feeling down today because of the conversation about his daughter yesterday. The noise from the courtyard caught his attention, and he walked over to the window to check out the commotion. He saw two people chasing and messing around.
The butler standing beside him clarified, "Leo started it."
After watching for a while, Hansen remarked, "Mia is such a goofball."
"If she wasn't a goofball, how could she be a match for Mr. Andre?"
Hansen watched from the window for about ten minutes, until he saw his great-grandson being beaten by Mia, begging for mercy on the ground.
Naomi saw her son being beaten too, but she just took a quick glance and went on with her business.
After the beating, Leo took Mia to the garage to choose a car. "If you're going to choose, pick your husband's. Don't touch our cars."
Mia scoffed, choosing her husband's car. "That small black sedan, it looks cheap, bring it out for me."
Leo glanced at the car Mia pointed to, then back at her. "Do you know what car this is?"
Mia shook her head cluelessly. If you asked her about boxing moves, she could write a book, but if you asked her about car models... Mia said, "Two W's?"
Leo was speechless. He dragged Mia to the car logo and said, "Take a closer look."
Mia bent down to look at the logo. "Well, a 'v' on top and a 'w' below. What's the problem?"
Leo asked with an exasperated face, "You don't know what brand this is, do you?"
Mia nodded, "I see a lot of people driving cars with this logo on the streets. It can't be that expensive."
"Remember this, the car is called a Phaeton."
Mia nodded, "Is it more expensive than my husband's Ghost?"
"Well, not that much, but this car is still worth over a hundred grand."
Mia inspected the black sedan, "Leo, did your uncle get ripped off when he bought this car?"
Leo, "You're hopeless."
Leo glanced at the other cars in the garage and finally said, "You have good taste, at least you can crash this car without worrying about the price."
Handing over the car keys, Leo said, "Take this one, and drive as you please. By the time I get back, I bet the car will need to be towed to the junkyard."
In the evening, when Bruce came home from work, he noticed the flattened flowers by the pond. He asked the maid, "What happened to the flowers by the road?"
"Ms. Mia was learning to drive and ran them over."
Bruce didn't say a word. He noticed a fence around the courtyard fountain, "Why is there a fence?"
"Ms. Mia was learning to drive. Leo asked for it to be put up."
He asked again, "Where is everyone?"
"Ms. Mia was learning to drive, and everyone went to the backyard playground."
In no time, he went there too. What he saw was the family's usual leisure playground now filled with family members. Hansen, the butler, and his wife were all present. His son was sitting in the passenger seat of the car. There were also some maids standing around laughing.
