“But Great-grandpa! Isn’t it wrong to ignore my uncle?” Silas cried out helplessly.

Despite his objections, there was nothing he could do. Earle had always been an imposing man, and no one dared to disobey him.

After receiving strict orders from Earle, none of the bodyguards even thought of answering Maurice’s calls.

“Leave that ungrateful bastard alone. I don’t want to hear his name for the rest of the night. Anyway, you kids must be starving by now. Let’s go and have dinner together.”

Heeding Earle’s words, the group headed towards the nearest restaurant.

However, Aileen refused to obey and remained where she stood.

She hugged the big toy bear and shook her head. “Mr. Moran, I’m afraid Adrian and I can’t have dinner with you.”

“Oh, and why is that?”

Earle raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Aileen pointed at the darkening sky and said in a serious tone, “We have been gone from school for too long. Our mommy must be worried sick about us by now. We have to go home immediately.”
