Chapter 659

“Hahaha! My girl! Hurry up, fetch our finest wine from the cellar, I need a good swig to celebrate!”

Bevis had witnessed a spectacular turn of events today, leaving him in high spirits. He burst through the door, laughter booming through the house, startling the parrot perched nearby into flapping its wings.

“Why hasn’t he died yet? Why hasn’t he died yet?”

The parrot squawked, mimicking Bevis‘ tone to perfection.

“Haha! Darling, has your beak been blessed? That old coot is truly on his last legs now, this time it’s for real, hahaha!” Bevis puckered his lips, teasing the bird with a big smile on his face.

“Dad, who hollers like that in the afternoon? You’ve woken me from my nap,” Dolores Ashbourne, with her long hair loose, descended the stairs yawning, her voice dripping with lethargy, “What’s got you in such high spirits?”

Bevis contently settled back on the couch, a sly grin curving his lips, “This afternoon, at the board meeting, Emeric had an episode right in front of everyone!”
