Chapter 263
Chase’s sports car had just taken off when a black car rolled in, parking at the spot he just vacated.
Byran hurriedly got out of the back seat, ran up to the handsome man in the silver gray suit, and asked cautiously.
*Brother, how is it? Have you found grandpa?” The man had just coaxed old Mr. Howard into the car and sent him away, when he heard the panting voice of his disobedient brother at home, he turned his head to look at Byran, and asked him. “Where are you from?”
Byran’s rebellious streak didn’t dare show its face around his elder brother, Balfour Howard. He stood there, head bowed, looking like a mouse caught under a cat’s paw
“I came from Pearl Moon”
Balfour’s brow furrowed slightly ‘New semester’s around the comer and you’re off gallivanting? You planning to keep your title of ‘Most Popular Student at A High for the third year in a row since you’re still stuck there?”
Byran was mortified his brother’s words hit him like a punch in the gut….
The girls at his school went gaga over his good looks, crowning him the most popular student.
But he couldn’t pull his weight academically, forever stuck repeating years at A High. The title of ‘Most Popular Student‘, which should’ve been a compliment, was now a mockery….
“Balfour, I swear I’ll get my act together this time! Today was a special case, that’s why I was out…”
Balfour snorted, “When did you have no special case?”
Byran looked innocent as a lamb, “Balfour, today really IS special! Didn’t you hear? Sister is back! Theo set up a whole garden of pink tulips for her at Pearl Moon, it was so romantic, I went to see her happy moment!”
Patn’s back?
Balfour was taken aback, sensing something was off. He frowned, “Theo’s married now, isn’t he? What’s she doing back?”
Defending his sister, Byran dared to look his brother in the eye. “Balfour! Theo only got married to appease the old folks at home, he has no feelings for his new wifel Besides, you know Sister can’t live without Theo, remember how she tried to off herself because you guys were against them being together…”
Balfour was getting antsy, pinching the bridge of his nose.
Just then, one of his henchmen approached, “Mr. Howard, how do you want to deal with the internet celeb who disrespected your grandpa?”
“Internet celebrity?‘ Balfour took out the mobile phone that had just vibrated twice, looked down at the new–news on it, and ordered with a blank expression: “Let her disappear from the Internet forever, even her and the car blocking the blind road. Let them disappear together in Greenhaven.”
The henchman nodded, “Got it!”
Just as one of his subordinates left, another subordinate came again…The head henchman, holding a returned cheque, came to report, “Mr. Howard, the lady didn’t accept the cheque, she’s gone.”
Balfour was typing away on his phone, his long fingers paused for a moment at the news, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He chuckled, “She’s quite principled.” The head henchman, Quinton, shook his head awkwardly, “Not really, she seemed to think the money wasn’t enough?”
Balfour squinted at the untouched cheque in Quinton’s hand, thinking about the girl’s attitude.
If it was really about the money, she wouldn’t have walked away so easily.
There are still some girls in this world worth respecting.
Byran, standing by, was eyeing the cheque in Quinton’s hand curiously. ‘Who’s that? She thinks 5 million is too little? If she doesn’t want it, I’ll take it!”
As he said this, he tried to snatch the cheque…
It’s a pity that his elder brother Balfour’s hands were quicker, easily took away the check, and tore it up mercilessly, “Those who have not been admitted to college should not use the money at home! You, come home with me to do homework!”
“..Oh” Byran’s head dropped suddenly, disappointed
