Chapter 86 Hansel's Sheepish Look

They both knew what the other was like, and they knew it very well. So they need not put airs up with each other. “Is that so? If someone wasn't deliberately withholding information, then why couldn't I find any news about it!” Eileen Dawson asked. She had even asked the teachers from school. None of them knew her home address, even the men sent to follow her had lost her too... She believed that this was no coincidence. In fact, it was not a coincidence at all. When she sent someone to question the teacher, Hansel had accidentally overheard it. Then he took note of it. So after school every day, she would part ways with Hansel on purpose then lead them on a wild goose chase. Even though, Gretel's talents with the company are not as great as Hansel's. But her senses and sensitivity were extraordinary. It was not just her, even Mark Pattinson was stunned at Eileen Dawson's words. This was because he too did not believe that any of this was pure coincidence. Could it be someone protecting her from the shadows? He did not get to dwell too much on it. More importantly, Gretel was safe. Now that he thought back to it, he could feel lingering fear. It was a good thing that she did not find out. If anything were to happen to Gretel, he would never forgive Eileen Dawson or himself as long as he lived. “I said this before, she is my friend’s child. Her family background and her influence are strong. You’d better not meddle or offend, otherwise, it would do no good for the company’s growth.” Mark Pattinson warned. “Your good friend’s child? Who?” “I have so many friends. Do you know all of them that you’ll recognize them, even if I told you?” Mark Pattinson questioned back. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with her digging and questions. “You are not answering. Is it because you are guilty? Or are you lost for words?” Eileen Dawson asked. Mark Pattinson smirked, “Are you really that curious?” Eileen Dawson said nothing. Her eyes were fixed tight on him. Her answer was obvious. “Someone from the underworld. Why, do you want to meddle with them too?” Mark Pattinson asked. As expected, right after he said this Eileen Dawson was dumbfounded. Then she kept silent. She was not that ambitious. All she wanted to do was to ensure Logan Pattinson’s place in the company, and not to create too many problems on the way. Even though she did not know what was up with the underworld, in her mind, it was a ruthless world. No amount of logic or reasoning would matter there. Not to mention, even if she really was ambitious, she still could not escalate this even if she wanted to. She was already more than half a century old. The only other way besides using money to escalate her “career”, was to use more even money on it. When he saw that Eileen Dawson was silent, Mark Pattinson knew that she believed him. Even if she did not believe him, at least she feared him. This was precisely Mark Pattinson’s goal. “You’d better not lie to me. Otherwise, I will never let this go!” Eileen Dawson warned. Mark Pattinson only curled a corner of his lips into a smirk, saying nothing. Even if he lied to her, so what then. Currently, he was no longer the Mark Pattinson who was at her mercy when he was younger. Eileen Dawson glared at him viciously. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Mark Pattinson. “When are you going to arrange for Logan to enter the company?” Mark Pattinson knew that Eileen Dawson would not rest until she reached her goal. After some thought, he opened up. “Let’s discuss it further when he comes in tomorrow!” When she heard this answer, then only did Eileen Dawson’s expression lighten. With no further words, she turned and walked out. Just as she left, then only did Mark Pattinson let out a sigh of relief. He was never scared of anything. But now he started to worry and feel terrified. He was not scared of Eileen Dawson himself, but he was terrified that she might find out about Hansel and Gretel and do something to them. He was now lucky that she had not found out about Hansel yet. Otherwise, based on the look on her face, he knew what she would do even without asking. When he thought of Hansel and Gretel, the look on his face suddenly became gentle. When he thought of the two, he could not help but let a smile creep on his face. That smile was even more genuine than any other he had in the past few years. Just at that moment, his phone rang. Mark Pattinson composed his facial expression before he picked up the call. “Hello!” “Mr. Pattinson, we found it!” When he heard this, Mark Pattinson’s eyebrows furrowed together. “Who?” His face was gloomier and darker by the moment. After a few seconds, he opened up. “Alright, I understand!” After the call disconnected, he sat in his office. His exquisite features were getting gentler and softer. Then, a cruel grin played at the corner of his lips. ... Back in the hospital, Lyla woke up for a moment, only to fall back to sleep right after. This scared Hansel and Gretel to bits; they quickly called the doctor in. In the end, the doctor said that Lyla has lost too much blood, rendering her body too weak. That was why she passed back out, there were not many problems. When they heard this, then only did Hansel and Gretel feel reassured. If Lyla could not wake up, then she could not drink his soup. In the end, he gave it all to Lingo. With her legs crossed, she sat on a sofa at the side, enjoying herself thoroughly. “Sweetie, did you really make this?” Hansel nodded. “Yep!” “Your cooking is incredible. I have been to many places and tried my fair share of delicious food and drinks. But this taste is absolutely divine!” Lingo enjoyed and praised at the same time. Hansel was speechless at this. “That soup was made with love, okay!” “Then when will you boil a soup with love for me?” Lingo asked, her eyes sparkling. “Aren’t you drinking it now?” “You boiled this for your mummy. It’s not like you made this especially for me. So when will you make one specially just for me?” Lingo teased as she watched Hansel. Whenever her thoughts drifted to this little genius, she would get all worked up in her heart. “You aren't afraid of getting fat?” “Drinking soup won’t make you fat. Besides, I am born with grace and beauty, and gifted with a figure that will never grow fat no matter how much I eat. What is there to be afraid of?” Lingo cocked a brow as she mumbled lazily. If there were anything unfair about this, it would be that God has given her an alluring figure and had also blessed her with unparalleled beauty. Most importantly, she was the Hall Master of the Hell’s Angels Alliance’s Assassination Group. It was like all the good things had been saved just for her. She was truly worthy of being God’s favorite. As Hansel watched her, his clear eyes glanced around. The corner of his mouth twitched up into a grin. “If that's the case, then I’ll be glad to oblige whenever you feel like having a meal or a drink.” His attitude had switched a little too quickly. Lingo narrowed her eyes at him. “Is that so?” “Of course!” Hansel immediately sat closer to her. “I’ll make you whatever you want to eat!” He said as he flashed her a cute yet gentlemanly smile. There was something wrong here. Definitely, something was wrong here! Even though Lingo has not known him for long, she understood him to a certain extent. There must be a reason behind his flattery. Lingo smiled lightly. “Treating me so well?” “But of course!” “Why?” “Because you treat me well too!” Hansel answered matter-of-factly. Lingo admitted that she had treated him rather well, but that was only her feelings and recognition. In reality, she had done nothing. So when he said that, Lingo was even more certain that he was scheming something. “Any specific time and place?” “About that...'' Hansel thought. “In the future, you will definitely treat me very well!” Lingo rolled her eyes at him. “When did you pick up Blake’s tricks? If you have anything to say just spit it out!” “But I really want to treat you well~” Hansel continued to act coquettishly. Gretel could not help but shudder at him acting this way. When her brother acted coquettishly, he was eons cuter than she was. It was just that the scene was so pretty that she did not dare to watch it for too long. Lingo could not quite stand him either. “Alright. You don't need to say it anymore!” “Don’t” Hansel opened up just as Lingo finished. Lingo shot him a glance. “Didn’t you have nothing to say?” Hansel shamelessly answered with a giggle. “Now I do!” After she rolled her eyes at him, Lingo finished the soup in her hands before handing him the bowl. Hansel sprung right back into action as he lovingly took the bowl and refilled it with more soup. Soon, he carried it over. “Enjoy!” Hansel smiled sheepishly. Lingo glanced over at him as she took it. Then she enjoyed it slowly. “Alright, say it!” Lingo said, looking like she gave him permission to speak. Hansel smiled as he said, “I have something on tonight, and I would like to ask you for a favor to follow me!” Lingo raised her brows. “What is it?” “You’ll find out tonight!” Hansel smiled mysteriously. Even though Lingo was curious, she did not push him further. Instead, she raised her eyebrows lazily and continued to drink her soup. Anyway, She would know when the time came. ... What night time came, Hansel looked at Gretel and said, “You stay here and watch over Mummy. I’ll be going out with Lingo!” “Where are you guys going, Hansel?” Gretel asked. “Off to deal with something, we’ll be back soon. Before we come back, don't go anywhere and stay by Mummy’s side. You understand?” Hansel asked. Gretel thought for a moment before nodding. “Alright, I understand. Will do!” Only then did Hansel nod in relief. Then he took off with Lingo. Even though Hansel did not say anything, but Gretel already knew what he was about to do. Lingo was with him anyway, so she was a lot more relieved. As she watched the person in bed, Gretel spoke. “Mummy, you have to wake up soon...” ... In a sports car outside, Lingo was driving with only one hand, long hair cascading down her back. Her exceptional beauty was absolutely alluring. She frowned as she glanced towards Hansel, who was beside her. “You said you already know who was behind it?” Hansel sat in the front passenger’s seat as he nodded, his face grim. “Hm!” “How did you know?” Lingo ran her hand in her long luscious hair. Her actions were naturally graceful. “Those who attacked my mummy, said so when they were dying!” A grim look cast over Hansel’s face. There was an indescribable seriousness to him. It did not seem like he was joking. “Is it credible?” When she mentioned this, a cold smirk curled at the corner of Hansel’s lips. “I’d rather kill the wrong person than to let them go!” At first, he did not want to be bothered with them for long. But now that it has come to this, they were already thirsting for his mummy’s life. Then this matter would not be settled so easily. He said it before. He would never let anyone who ever bullied his mother go! Hearing Hansel’s words and the pressure it brought, Lingo was at a loss for words. Although she stepped into the Underworld rather early, it was when she was 12 years old. Whereas Hansel was not even 10 yet, yet he was already this mature and aggressive. She found this utterly unbelievable. But even so, she liked it! As Hansel sat there, he did not consider Lingo’s opinions towards him in the slightest. He was thinking, if she did not order for it, then they would not say her name before they died. So Hansel would definitely believe her! At the thought of this, a cruel grin crept onto his face. “What do you plan to do then?” Lingo asked. “We’ll give them a dose of their own medicine. In addition to that, we’ll throw in another 10 times more!” Hansel said smiling. It was just that the smile gave Lingo a rather bad feeling.
