Chapter 99: Chapter 99

On the drive back to Silverstream Bay, Sonny Chambers wouldn’t stop talking.

His sole purpose—to save face after being beaten like a dog today.

Paige Sterling listened to his boasts, feeling embarrassed for him, and changed the subject by asking, "What have you been learning in school lately?"

"I’ve been learning loads."

Paige replied with an "oh", "Can you do arithmetic now?"

The person who was boasting so much earlier instantly turned red, "Not really."

Paige asked again, "Then can you write a few big characters?"

Sonny Chambers’ face stayed red, "I can write my name now."

Paige let out a meaningful chuckle.

Sonny Chambers immediately felt overwhelmed by disdain, "Don’t look down on me. I’m going to be a scientist someday, and I can make robots too!"

Continuing to chuckle, the disdain was clear as day, "You think you’re still dreaming, huh? With that attitude of yours? You can’t even win a fight, and you have the nerve to say that?"

Sonny Chambers protested, yelling, "I’m still young now, but when I grow up, I’ll be awesome! Even more awesome than you!"

Paige, "I’m awesome because I’ve been awesome since I was young, not because I became awesome when I grew up. Kids like you who aren’t awesome when they’re young won’t be awesome when they grow up either."

"You’re talking nonsense! I can be awesome right now!"

Paige ignored him, showing her disdain through her actions.

Kids like him who have no sense and just want to run away from home need a bit of adult intervention. Fınd the newest release on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍

"Did you hear me? I’m going to be really awesome in the future!"

They’d reached the parking lot, and Paige stopped the car, looking over at Sonny Chambers.

"With such lofty ambitions, I’ll help you achieve them, kid."

Sonny Chambers had a bad feeling, "What are you planning to do?"

"You’re in the big class now and can’t even count numbers, so of course, I’m going to take the place of your parents and teachers to properly educate you. Under my guidance, you’ll soon learn to study diligently and make progress every day."

Sonny Chambers shivered under Paige’s smile, "What are you going to do to me?"

Paige, "I’ve laid out a full schedule for you. Wake up every day at five in the morning to run for half an hour, walk to school yourself by six, return home by yourself before five in the afternoon, and do two hours of homework after dinner, then..."

Sonny Chambers counted with his fingers.

There are only twenty-four hours in a day, and Paige had practically filled his daily schedule to the brim, leaving no room for play.

He’s just a kid, after all!

Sonny Chambers shouted, "I can’t do it!"

"That’s okay. If you can’t do it, we can imitate ancient practices, let you hang from the beam and pierce your thigh. If you still can’t do it, I have a stick to deal with you. In short, starting today you’ll receive a devilish blow from a genius, and soon you’ll become a self-disciplined and proactive child, a future pillar of society."

Sonny Chambers trembled; this was even scarier than his own home.

He wanted to go to the amusement park; he wanted to hang out with his buddies; he wanted to fall in love with little girls...

He grabbed Paige’s hand, "Paige, you’re joking, right? We’re close family, how can you treat me ?"

Tears swirled in his eyes and then spilled over, he looked so pitiful.

Paige asked, "Wasn’t it you who insisted on following me?"

"I regret it now; just take me home quickly!"

Paige coldly laughed, "You think everything goes the way you want?"

After speaking, she got out of the car and carried Sonny Chambers in.

Julian Hawthorne was waiting for Paige at home; hearing the door open, he looked over and saw Paige first toss a kid inside.

The kid lay motionless on the carpet, looking like he was dead.

Paige closed the door and walked over, giving Sonny Chambers a kick, "Get up, go take a bath, sleep, and start your new life tomorrow."

Sonny Chambers sobbed twice in a pretense, "You’re not human, how can you treat me ?"

Paige, too lazy to deal with him, looked over at Julian Hawthorne.

Julian Hawthorne didn’t look pleased, "You’re bringing someone else’s kid home?"

Paige, "Just don’t treat him like a kid. If he’s disobedient, feel free to hit him."

Seeing that Paige didn’t care about the kid, Julian Hawthorne was relieved.

Paige saw Sonny Chambers still lying there pretending to be dead, and tossed an orange over, "Get up, go take a bath and sleep."

Sonny Chambers shivered, "Paige, you weren’t before, why have you become so cruel and cold-hearted?"

"You keep pretending, and I’ll punish you, believe it?"

Sonny Chambers, "..."

He finally realized that his cousin was no longer the cousin who cared for him; she was a devil, wailing...

Sonny Chambers went to the bathroom in utter grievance, only to let out a loud scream not long after.

Paige stood up, intending to check, but Julian Hawthorne stopped her, "I’ll go."

Julian Hawthorne tried to walk tall and mighty in front of Paige.

Entering the bathroom, he closed the door directly.

Sonny Chambers had just been scalded by hot water, but it wasn’t serious, it only reddened the skin a bit.

He intentionally screamed loudly, thinking he could make Paige worry.

But Paige didn’t even come to see him, instead, Julian Hawthorne was sent in.

Don’t think he didn’t notice the way this guy looked at him as if he wanted to get rid of him since he’d entered the door.

He looked at Julian Hawthorne with vigilance.

"What are you going to do to me?"

Julian Hawthorne squatted down and tossed him into the bathtub, "Take your clothes off."

Sonny Chambers, "I, I’m not going to..."

Julian Hawthorne’s gaze was frightening, Sonny Chambers caved in, "Fine, I’ll take them off, you think I won’t dare?"

Missing his gentle, tender mother, sobbing...

Sonny Chambers pitifully took off his clothes, Julian Hawthorne held the showerhead over him, "Wash yourself."

Under Julian Hawthorne’s gaze, he meekly scrubbed himself.

Julian Hawthorne squatted down again, looking at him, said: "Kid, be sensible, don’t cause trouble for Beau, and don’t be a third wheel, got it?"

"What do you want?", Sonny Chambers gathered courage, full of defiance, "If you have the guts, kick me out."

"You don’t want to stay here, and I don’t like you staying here either, but you’d better obey your cousin. If you dare to make her angry, I’ll cut off your..."

Julian Hawthorne’s gaze shifted downward, "Little wee-wee."

Sonny Chambers clutched his underwear, like an angry bird, "You want to cut off my wee-wee, you, you, beast! You’re not human!"

Julian Hawthorne blasted his hair with the showerhead, "Did you understand what I said?"

Sonny Chambers, "I, I understand, I’ll obey, when you tell me to scram I’ll scram immediately!"

However, Julian Hawthorne didn’t let him scram.
