Chapter 246: Chapter 246

"After all, they are my relatives. Doing such a thing, Paige must also feel uncomfortable. Jared, can you call Paige and ask her to come home for a bit? I’ll cook for her and apologize..."

"No need. Beau won’t take this matter to heart."

"But I really can’t get over it, and Paige has not been home for a long time..."

Jared Sullivan was also missing his daughter, and thinking about it, he could use this excuse to bring her home.

So Jared called Paige Sterling, and Paige agreed to come home to the Sterling Family that night.

In the evening, Paige Sterling and Julian Hawthorne returned to the Sterling Family.

Jared Sullivan hadn’t returned yet, but there were several uninvited guests at the Sterling Family.

They were Yvette Hughes’s younger auntie and younger cousin, along with a few of the cousin’s kids.

Those kids were quite unruly, running around and breaking several antique vases in the Sterling Family home.

Yvette Hughes and Nanny Sutton chased them around trying to stop them but couldn’t keep up with the two children.

Meanwhile, the children’s grandmother and father sat calmly on the sofa, looking like their grandkids were impressive.

Paige Sterling remembered, these pieces were Jared Sullivan’s favorites.

She walked over, her manner intimidating, and Yvette Hughes jumped in first.

"Paige, they’re just children. I’ll reason with them, don’t lay a hand on them..."

Paige Sterling ignored this, directly and swiftly grabbing one of them, picking both children up.

"Kids, did your parents teach you that you should follow the rules when you’re in someone else’s house? If you break others’ belongings, you have to compensate."

The two children struggled but couldn’t break free from Paige Sterling’s grasp.

Her gaze was very cold, making the clueless children shiver in fear, and eventually cry out for their dad and grandma.

Yvette Hughes’s younger auntie and cousin immediately came over.

"I say, you’re really making a fuss over nothing. They were just playing. Why argue with the children? Let go of my grandson..."

"Playing around? The things your kids broke while playing are worth millions each. So, how do you plan to compensate?"

"You’re extorting us! Those broken vases aren’t worth that much money!"

And they even expect us to pay?

What are they thinking?

"Anyway, we have no money..."

"If you have no money, you should manage your kids well and keep them from causing trouble. Now that the items are broken, do you think you can leave without paying?"

Hearing Paige’s words that sounded like a threat to eliminate witnesses, Yvette Hughes’s younger auntie and cousin shivered.

Paige Sterling tossed the two kids aside.

One of the kids got up and directly tried to headbutt Paige Sterling.

Julian Hawthorne instinctively pulled Paige Sterling to the side and reached for an ashtray.

That kid headbutted the ashtray and began to wail. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Paige Sterling glanced at Julian Hawthorne, surprised that Mr. Hawthorne would take such action against a child.

Yvette Hughes’s younger auntie instinctively wanted to pick up the crying child to check for injuries, but Paige Sterling coldly threatened, "Cry one more time, and I’ll cut off your little peepee."

The little boy was shocked into silence.

"Grandma, grandma, this place is no fun. I want to go home, I want to go home..."

Yvette Hughes’s younger auntie tried to comfort the child while accusing Paige Sterling, "How can you scare the child ? Don’t you know this is my precious grandson? If you frighten him into something serious, can you afford it?"

Paige Sterling’s face was expressionless, "Take care of your precious grandson. If you don’t teach him well now, he won’t turn out to be any good when he grows up."

"How can you say that? He’s so young! You’re too cruel! Have you thought about how you would feel if others spoke that way about your child in the future?"

Paige Sterling straightforwardly said, "If my child grows up to be , he won’t have the chance to grow up."

Paige Sterling said, "I’d slap him to death."

Paige Sterling then continued, "But you don’t need to worry about my child. Our family is well-raised, and we won’t raise an ill-mannered kid."

Behind every unruly child, there’s often a group of equally unruly parents, confidently saying they’re just kids...

However, children always grow up. People might tolerate their behavior while they’re young, but who will tolerate it when they’re older? Then they’ll learn the harsh lessons of society.

The younger auntie was furious at Paige Sterling’s words, "You dare call our whole family uncivilized? Just for breaking a few lousy vases of yours, you’re so venomous!"

"Yvette Hughes, are you just going to stand by and watch your stepdaughter bully your aunt?"

Yvette Hughes, looking troubled, was more concerned about how Jared Sullivan would react once he saw the broken vases at home.

"Paige, why not let it go? After all, they’re just kids..."

"Kids can be said to be young, but what about the adults? When the kids broke the vases, I didn’t see the adults stopping them."

"Then what do you want? Do you really want us to pay? We’re relatives, how can you have the nerve? Also, you’re a married woman, does your father’s house allow you to have a say? Are you the one in charge?"

Yvette Hughes’s younger cousin also said, "Exactly, MY cousin Yvette is the mistress of the Sterling Family. If she didn’t ask us to pay, who are you to tell us to pay? A little girl married off should know her place, lest your husband stops wanting you..."

Before Yvette Hughes’s younger cousin could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his legs, then his knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground.

Julian Hawthorne’s expression remained calm, as if unaware of what he’d done.

He coldly said, "Do you not want your tongue or your legs?"

Yvette Hughes’s younger cousin tried to stand up, but found himself unable to rise.

Julian Hawthorne had kicked him in a way that left his legs numb and aching.

Paige Sterling chuckled, "Apologies should come with proper posture."

Julian Hawthorne’s expression was even colder than Paige Sterling’s, and Yvette Hughes’s younger auntie dared not meet Julian Hawthorne’s gaze, so she pointed at Paige Sterling.

"You’re really rebellious. No matter how you say it, he’s your cousin. How dare you lay a hand on him! You have no manners!"

"Believe me, I can make you kneel?"

"Don’t worry, kneeling won’t cost you. Today, your two grandsons broke two of my dad’s vases, worth thirty million, we have invoices, pay up."

Yvette Hughes’s younger auntie was immensely enraged.

Why does this damn girl only talk about money?

Does the Sterling Family lack money?

"If you won’t pay, I’ll call the police."

Yvette Hughes’s younger auntie stammered for a while, shut her eyes, and suddenly fainted.

Yvette Hughes’s younger cousin immediately shouted, "Oh no, cousin! My mom just passed out!"

Yvette Hughes surrounded her with a worried expression.
