Chapter 229: Chapter 229
Given that Burt Chambers is underage, the police station asked him to call his parents to notify them to come and fetch him.
Burt Chambers hesitated and struggled for a while, but in the end, he still forced himself to call Paige Sterling.
The phone rang for quite a while before Paige answered, "What? Ran out of money?"
Hearing Paige’s voice, Burt Chambers felt a bit like crying, "No."
He said honestly, "I got robbed on the high-speed train."
Paige chuckled, and hearing her laugh made Burt even more nervous, "I’m at the police station over here in Keldor, can you... come pick me up?"
"What were you caught for this time?"
Burt Chambers felt embarrassed to say it, but knew Paige wouldn’t come if he didn’t, so he confessed, "They mistook me for a kidnapper."
Paige responded with an "oh," "I’ll call your dad and have him pick you up."
Burt was shocked, "No, no, no! Sis! Dear sis, can you come pick me up?"
"You think my time is for you to waste?"
Burt suddenly realized that Paige’s time was something he couldn’t afford to waste.
"But I’m your brother, the bond between us can’t be measured by time and money."
Paige just gave him two words: "Haha."
Burt was really afraid that Paige wouldn’t come, "Sis, I beg you, please come pick me up, I promise to listen to you from now on, I won’t mess around anymore."
Paige hung up the phone directly.
Burt, "...", was trembling with anxiety and unease.
It wasn’t until three days later that Paige came to the police station. During these two days, Burt was on edge inside, fearing that Paige wouldn’t come.
When Paige arrived, she ignored his hopeful eyes and went straight to negotiate with the police. After handing over the related materials, she was informed that she could take him away.
Paige walked in front, and Burt followed behind, crestfallen and cautious.
Paige hailed a cab by the roadside to go to the airport, and after getting in, she told the driver to drive straight away.
Burt hadn’t gotten in yet; when he tried to open the door, it wouldn’t budge.
With a face full of panic, he said, "Sis! Aren’t you taking me back?"
He never wanted to live again! He wanted to go back and be the second young master of the Chambers Family!
Paige glanced at him from inside the car, "Aren’t you experiencing life by running away from home? What would I take you back for? So you can go around causing trouble for underage girls every day?"
Burt clung desperately to the car window, "Sis, don’t treat me , please take me away, I promise to listen to you in the future, really..."
Paige raised an eyebrow, "Will you still skip classes, fight, and form cliques in the future?"
Burt shook his head honestly, "No."
Paige, "Will you still mess around with relationships?"
Paige, "Will you still be disrespectful, arrogant, and bossy?"
Paige handed him a document from inside the car, "Sign it."
Burt glanced at it briefly, didn’t think twice, and quickly signed it, then sycophantically handed it back to Paige.
Paige put the document in a bag, saying, "This document specifies your future responsibilities and obligations. If you breach it, I’ll send you to a coal mine under your brother-in-law’s company to dig coal."
Burt was stunned for a moment.
"Does brother-in-law’s company have a coal mine?"
Burt, "... I’ll definitely behave from now on."
Burt got into the car, left for the airport with Paige, and then flew back to Jarrow.
The moment he returned to Silverstream Bay, Burt finally felt like he was alive again.
No more sleeping on the streets, no more going hungry, boo hoo...
After this experience of running away from home, Burt became much more obedient, following the rules when with Paige and Julian Hawthorne, even when Paige wasn’t around, not daring to do anything over the top.
As for going out to find young girls... he’d rather die than dare to do it again.
At school, he presented himself as a diligent and hardworking student every day.
The students in the class were discussing privately.
"Look at Brother Burt, he went out once and came back sensible, actually starting to read books."
Even the teachers found it incredible. Previously, during lessons, Burt never treated the classroom as such, completely ignoring the teachers and often harassing female students. Calling him a little hoodlum wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
But now, he listens carefully in class and completes assignments earnestly, practically heading towards becoming a model student.
This kind of transformation, how could the teachers not like it?
Now the teachers also love paying special attention to Burt, occasionally calling him to stand up and answer questions, and Burt stays in a state of high energy every day. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Even during breaks, he works hard, and when a few boys nearby are discussing him, he gives them a cold glare.
"You all shut up! Be quiet, don’t you see we have only one year left until the college entrance exam? Don’t you see I’m doing practice problems? If you don’t work hard, what are you making noise for all day?"
It’s really hard to imagine that such words could come from Burt Chambers.
It seems that this runaway trip left a significant psychological impact on Brother Burt, though it’s unknown what happened.
They asked Burt, but he kept his lips sealed.
It can only be guessed that Brother Burt must have suffered some kind of blow.
However, even if Burt doesn’t fool around, people still come looking for him.
After all, he had a notorious reputation before, and now he suddenly disappeared, how can people not be curious?
This day during lunch break, Burt was at the milk tea shop by the school gate, both drinking milk tea and reading, when a scantily clad girl ran over and immediately grabbed Burt’s arm.
She expected Burt to be startled, then excitedly hug her and call her sweetheart.
But instead, Burt looked terrified, anxiously trying to shake off her arm.
She held on tightly and wouldn’t let go, "Brother Burt, you haven’t come to see me for a long time, I really miss you."
Burt seemed like a frightened, innocent little white rabbit, "Men and women shouldn’t touch each other! Let go, let go!"
"Brother Burt, what game are you playing with me now?"
The girl coquettishly said, "If we want to play games, let’s play in a hotel, okay? However you want to play, I’ll cooperate."
He’s now a diligently aspiring youth!
Burt kept trying to pull the girl’s hands away, but she was like an octopus.
Burt’s expression could no longer be described with just fear.
Damn, what if Paige sees this and misunderstands that he’s fooling around again?
"Hurry and let me go!"
"Brother Burt, why are you so afraid of me? I’m not a monster, you used to call me little sweetheart."
Sweetheart, my ass! Now Burt saw these troublesome girls and doubted whether he was crazy before? Why didn’t he work hard in his youth, instead of fooling around with these girls! Could the ocean of knowledge not satisfy his thirsty soul?
"I’m begging you, can you let me go? I really don’t want to play anymore, I don’t want to play in the future either, my sister is coming soon, hurry and let go."
After struggling for a long time, Burt finally freed himself from the girl’s grip.
He immediately ran to a safe distance, keeping away from the girl, "Don’t come near, I’m telling you, if you do, I’ll hit you."
The girl stomped her foot, "Brother Burt, what are you doing? I came from so far away to find you, and this is how you treat me?"
Promising to be a lifelong wanderer, and you suddenly stop being one?
