Chapter 574
William slipped his allowance into his pocket with a sense of purpose.
"Don't sweat it, buddy. I'll have someone take you to the hospital. And hey, if anyone ever gives you a hard time, just hit me up. I'm like... the leader of the Anti-Bullying Brigade."
He made up the title on the spot.
The wide-eyed kid looked at him in awe. “Are you that awesome as a kid?"
"I'm a child prodigy, William said with a smug lift of an eyebrow.
Soon enough, the ambulance arrived, and William called a bodyguard to escort the kid to the hospital.
He felt good about helping someone in need.
Meanwhile, Aurelia and Leopold were at the ice cream parlor, waiting for them.
William came back and didn't say a word. He sat down and started shoveling ice cream into his mouth.
"Skyler, this lemon sorbet is amazing,’ William commented between bites.
"I'm a fan, too,’ Skyler added, licking his lips.
"What took you quys so long?" Aurelia asked nonchalantly.
The bodyguard chimed in, "We saw a kid getting picked on, and Mr. William and Mr. Skyler stepped in to break it up. Dylan took the kid to the hospital."
Aurelia’s eyes widened slightly, and she exchanged a glance with Leopold. "Was it bad?"
"Those bullies were brutal. The kid might have a concussion,’ the bodyquard said. “Juvenile delinquency is a tough issue to crack."
Aurelia shrugged. "The penalties are too soft, letting these little thugs run wild"
