'You brat, if you wanted to avenge your wife, you didn't have to stab me in the back, did you?' he thought.
Albert patted her shoulder, saying, "You should just mind your own business. Don't be so nosy." His words set Mary's mind at rest. He and Minny had been treating each other as strangers and had not seen each other for a long time.
Without saying anything more, Mary walked out of his study with a smile.
Essie had been thinking about what gift she wanted to get for Holy for the past two days.
Looking at her distressed face, Zac smiled. "You can ask Goel. He's Holy's best friend. He'll know what Holy likes."
Why didn't she think of that?
Essie hit herself lightly on the head for not coming up with that idea earlier. Then, she hastily dialed Goel's number.
Now, her problem had finally been solved.
When Wednesday came, Essie decided to go alone, but it was impossible for Zac to rest assured and he thought he had to be there to protect her, so he went with her anyway.
Of course, Goel went to the party with them. Not only was he Holy's good friend, but he was also his spy.
Holy didn't live in his family's villa but in Alice's place. That way, Elizabeth wouldn't have a chance to hurt him.
It was not a big villa, but it was well decorated. The whole yard belonged to Holy for his birthday. There were swings, slides, and even a merry-go-round. It was like a mini children's park.
The villa was equipped with the most advanced security system and was patrolled by more than ten bodyguards around the clock.
Although Holy was only eight years old, he was already a great fighter, and ordinary adults were no match for him. As for Alice, who joined the female special force at the age of 15, she was proficient in both shooting and fighting. She could knock down seven or eight men on her own without even breaking a sweat.
If you wanted to survive danger, you had to make yourself stronger than your enemy.
Almost all of Holy's friends were there, and they were all playing in the yard.
As soon as Goel got off the car, he ran towards the yard at once. He knew his way around the villa as he spent a lot of time there.
Holy was very happy to see Essie and Zac. Essie handed him a gift that she had wrapped herself, and said, "This is a gift from me and Zac. Have a look and see if you like it."
When Holy opened the box and saw what was in it, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" and his beautiful eyes twinkled with excitement. "It's the whole set of garage kit for League of Legends. It's so awesome! How did you two know that I wanted this?" he asked happily.
"I asked Goel what you'd like and he said you were obsessed with League of Legends, so I thought you would love the newly released garage kit," she said with a smile.
"Thank you," Holy said as he nodded like a chicken pecking rice. "I was just about to ask my sister to buy this for me, but now I don't have to! Thank you, Sister Essie. Thank you, Brother Zac!"
"You're welcome." Essie caressed Holy's head lovingly. She really liked her younger brother.
After that, Alice led them to the villa. They talked for a while, and then it was time to cut the cake.
