Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable

Chapter 608

By the time Raymond reached elementary school, his room overflowed with models: guns, fighter jets, tanks, and warships.

When Vee returned to Brimcrest with their parents, she had only just learned to walk. She had toddled into Raymond's room by herself, crawled and stumbled across the floor, seized a toy gun, and refused to let it go.

Before Vee was born, Raymond had been the most spoiled child in the family. Everyone had indulged him without restraint. At that time, his stubbornness had bordered on obsession, and he had flatly refused to give the toy to her.

He never expected it to be used this way.
