Chapter 79 They are No Longer Calm

‘Damn it. ‘But that’s true. ‘Hansel is still a child if we look at his age!’ Blake found himself speechless. “Why do we keep doing illegal stuff?” Orpheus said, “…That’s not our business. He did all that voluntarily.” “Okay, but don't pretend that you are a virtuous person!” At this moment, Justin Pattinson could not help but speak up. Although they stopped discussing the topic, they still put the blame on Hansel. “If he wants to throw somebody under the bus, he can only blame himself. You are a liar!” Hansel said, “...Fine, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have lied to you guys!” “Good that you are admitting to it!” “What’s the use of an apology? You have already done us harm!” “Yes!” There was a lot of resentment among members of the floor. Hansel ignored their anger and said, “But we did that for your good!” “It’s for our good that you lied to us?” Orpheus asked. ‘Is there such a thing as saying that you did it for someone else’s sake by lying to them?’ "Of course, just think about it. Despite my young age now, I’m already on an equal footing with you. When I am a little older… how would I handle all of you? So, I didn’t say it because it’s for your own good. I don’t want to hurt your self-esteem!" Hansel said this clearly. He was being really earnest, sincere, and innocent! There was dead silence as soon as he finished his speech. “Damn it!” “Hansel, you bastard!” “How could you be so ruthless at such a young age? Do your parents know about this?” Upon hearing their words, Hansel gave an innocent smile. Everyone had now cussed him and made sarcastic quips at him. Finally, Justin Pattinson opened his mouth and said, “Come on, baby, let big brother take a look at you!” “Are you sure?” “Yes, bring your twin sister along. Come together!" Hansel said, “That doesn’t sound like a good idea.” “Enough with the nonsense. Start the video!” Upon saying that, Justin Pattinson started the video recording. Hansel did not refuse this time and accepted it. However, the child’s face that appeared stunned all of them. ‘What a chubby child!’ It was a chubby and fair face. “Are you Hansel or Gretel?” Orpheus stared at the camera and asked, as he only could see one person. Hansel spoke to the camera, “Of course it’s me, my sister said she wants to remain enigmatic!” Listening to his voice, they felt that their bones melting. ‘He’s really just a child!’ “Why are you still trying to be mysterious? Now that we know how you look like, we’ll be able to identify your sister, because she will definitely look similar to you.” “Justin, I’m not letting you see my face because I'm afraid that you may covet my beauty...” Gretel said from the other side. Justin Pattinson was speechless. The facts proved that one out of the sibling pair had a rotten nature, and the other was a narcissist. They really belonged to one family. “But Hansel, you are so chubby!” Orpheus said while touching his chin. “Please do not covet my beauty too!” Orpheus said, “...Damn, could you not be so shameless?" Hansel smiled. When they saw him smile, they always felt as if they were a century apart. After chatting for a while, Justin Pattinson said, “Hansel, we are doing just fine. But this is not the case for Lingo. You have to work hard because she threatened to withdraw from Hell’s Angels Alliance if you do not quit the alliance!” Hansel was speechless. He had never expected Lingo to react so strongly! “You broke her heart!” said Orpheus, delighting in his misery. Hansel felt resigned. He had been most innocent. But he nodded. "Okay, I get it, I’ll talk to her!" Hansel replied. His tone made him sound like he was very experienced in this field. They chatted for a while, but they never quite left the topic of Hansel being a child. This still bothered them for the time being. Even if they could accept it, it did not stop them from making sarcastic quips about it. Hansel could only accept their comments silently. At that moment, Hansel's cell phone rang. When he saw Piers Brion’s number, he frowned and answered the call. “What is it?” “Boss, what is your mother's name?” Piers Brion asked. Hansel frowned. “Why are you asking that?” “Tell me first!” “Lyla Lowe. What’s the matter?!” Piers Brion said, “…Boss, did your mother offend someone?” “Why do you say so?” “Someone asked me to murder your mother!” There was a sudden change in Hansel’s facial expression. “And what happened after that?” “After coming back from your house, I suddenly remembered about it when I saw a photo. I didn't take the job. They must be looking for someone else now!" Piers Brion said. Hansel held the phone with a very gloomy expression. Lyla Lowe and Mark Pattinson had a business meal together today, so now, she must be with his father! ‘If they are together, it is still okay. She should be safe with him. If not...’ Without saying anything else, he directly cut off the call with Piers Brion. He found Lyla Lowe’s number and called her. “Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable...” When he heard these words from the answering machine, Hansel uttered some cuss words... He almost smashed his cell phone into pieces! He looked at the time; it was already ten o'clock. He was not sure whether Mummy was alone or with Daddy! ‘That’s right, Daddy! ‘We still have Daddy!’ Thinking of this, he directly dialed Mark Pattinson’s number. “Sorry, the number you have dialed is engaged!” ‘Damn it!!!’ This was the first time Hansel hated not being able to connect a call so much! When he thought about how Lyla Lowe might be in trouble, he was overwhelmed by fear, to the point that his face was about to turn pale. At that moment, Gretel walked in with a drink and saw Hansel's gloomy facial expression. "Hansel, what's wrong?" she asked while drinking. “I just got news that someone wants to murder Mummy!” Hansel said. Once he said this, Gretel’s facial expression also changed instantly. “Who?” “I don't know yet. Now, the important thing is that I can’t get through Mummy's cell phone!” “Didn’t we give Mummy a bracelet? It could be used to locate her location!” Gretel said. “Yes!” Hansel recalled this as well, so he immediately sat in front of the computer and began to locate Lyla Lowe. In one minute, he found her. Hansel committed the address to memory and looked at Gretel. “You stay here. If there are any changes, inform me immediately!” “What about you?” “I’m heading there!” “I’ll go with you!” “No, it’s dangerous. What if we can't find Mummy at this address? You just stay at home!” Hansel said. That naturally imposing mannerism of his made Gretel silent. Even though she was worried, she still knew how to determine what was more important at this moment. Gretel nodded. Hansel took out his cell phone and called Piers Brion. “Let go of everything you’re doing now. Come and pick me up immediately!” “Alright!” After hanging up the call, Hansel was about to leave, but Gretel spoke, “Hansel...” Hansel turned around and saw Gretel looking really worried. “You must come back safely with Mummy...” Looking at her worried expression, Gretel nodded heavily. “I will, I promise!” Gretel nodded, and Hansel immediately walked out. Gazing at his back, a crease appeared between Gretel’s brows. She knew that no matter how clever Hansel was, he was just a child and was helpless in a fight against those people. She was afraid that something bad could happen. Although she was fearful, she still had to do what she was meant to do. She stared at the computer and kept an eye on Lyla’s position… Hansel just waited downstairs for a few minutes before Piers Brion drove up. Hansel did not say anything and got into the car. “Where are we going?” Piers Brion asked. “Wallace Street!” Piers Brion started the car engine and drove off. Hansel sat in the car with a gloomy face. ‘Mummy, you must stay safe! ‘Please don’t be in trouble!’ On the other side, after coming out of the restaurant and having a long chat with the top executives of Karin’s Corporations, the group had plans to bring Lyla to other places. But when Mark Pattinson saw Lyla's unwilling look, he said that he had other matters to attend to, and rejected the offer. All the executives of Karin’s Corporations left, and Mark Pattinson and Lyla Lowe were the only ones left. Both looked at each other, but they did not know what to say. Both drank some alcohol. Although Lyla did not drink much, her face was a little red. Mark Pattinson was standing opposite her with one hand in his pocket, making his figure look really amazing. He was gazing straight at her. Lyla looked down. “Mr. Pattinson, if there are no other important matters, I am going back home now!” “Lyla, how long are you going to keep avoiding me?” Mark Pattinson said that suddenly. Lyla was stunned for a moment and looked at him, puzzled, “What did you say, Mr. Pattinson? Why should I avoid you?” “Why?” Mark Pattinson stepped forward. His gaze was profound. “You should ask that yourself!” Lyla took a step back subconsciously. “Mr. Pattinson, you’re overthinking things. I don't even have to avoid you!” “Really?” “Yes!” Lyla answered him steadfastly. Mark Pattinson leaned over to look at her and kept staring at her face. ‘This woman is stubborn. Her mouth is stubborn too. I can’t expect her to say anything sweet.’ After that incident, he went abroad. Originally, he thought she would at least call to show concern to him or explain herself. But after a month, she did not even make a phone call or send him a text message. He was crossed at first, but he did not expect this woman to post updates on her Twitter account! She acted as nothing had ever happened! This made him super annoyed! “Don't you have anything you want to tell me?” He glanced at her and asked. After he drank alcohol, he gave off a lackadaisical air. On him was a presence that commanded the gaze of others upon him. Lyla opened her mouth and said, "Mr. Pattinson, what happened to Ms. Turner has nothing to do with me—” “That’s not what I want to hear!” Mark Pattinson interrupted her before she could finish speaking. He did not care about the matter because Mark Pattinson would not blame her, even if she did it. However, he knew that it was not her fault and did not care about the matter at all. Lyla frowned. “Then, what do you want to hear from me?” “Don't you have anything else you want to tell me except this?” he asked. Lyla raised her head to look at him. At that moment, he looked more enchanting. His exquisite and alluring face and his deep gaze both shone. They were like a huge vacuum that tried to suck her in completely. Lyla did not know what else to say. In front of Mark Pattinson, she had a strange feeling that she could not describe. But she did not like this kind of feeling. Her intuition told her that this kind of feeling was very dangerous. After that, she smiled and made herself look relaxed, “Oh, yes, I heard that Ms. Turner is pregnant. Congratulations, Mr. Pattinson, you will be a dad soon!”
