Chapter 559: The Alley Entrance Was Blocked by an Off-road Vehicle with a Scary License Plate
The national holiday was fast approaching, and Ignatius Leclair had planned a trip to Switzerland to visit the old master, so he arranged for Benjamin Leclair to stay at the Howard Family for a few days.
As soon as Ignatius left, Benjamin happily started bouncing around with joy.
Finally, on the sixth day of the holiday, the little girl packed her backpack early and followed her brother Yeats Howard out to play.
When Yeats dropped her off at the courtyard house, he almost choked on the dust. There weren’t any five-star hotels nearby; was he supposed to sleep in his car for the night?
In the entire Howard Family, besides the old lady, Yeats doted on Benjamin the most. Not playing by the rules was his normal, so he didn’t see any problem when Benjamin made the request.
When he was younger, he often thought about running away from home. Staying overnight at a friend’s house was no big deal, but he still carefully checked Delphine’s background.
She had just returned from France not long ago and was said to be studying at Wilbur Turner’s school. After confirming with Wilbur, Yeats felt assured to let Benjamin stay.
However, this courtyard house was too rundown. Demon King Hun from the Howard Family held Benjamin’s hand with a look of disdain as they entered, but he was instantly astonished when he saw Delphine waiting at the door with a handsome little boy. Somehow, this woman looked familiar, like he’d seen her somewhere before.
"Mummy Gu, brother Nicholas." With her small backpack, Benjamin darted into Delphine’s arms like a little dove, her eyes bending into a smile.
Delphine quickly picked her up and kissed her little face, then looked at the tall and handsome eldest grandson of the Howard Family.
"Though the courtyard house is a bit shabby, the beddings are all newly bought. Benjamin can manage for a night; thank you for bringing her here." Delphine smiled.
"No problem, Benjamin doesn’t have a playmate at home, so staying over at a friend’s house is pretty normal, it’s normal." The eldest grandson of the Howard Family flashed what he thought was his perfect smile, only to realize that the woman was already leading the two children inside!!
Yeats’ smile stiffened for a moment, weren’t they going to invite him in for a seat? A meal maybe? Did they take him for a driver?
The eldest grandson of the Howard Family whistled, embarrassingly slunk out of the courtyard house, and had people block the two exits at the mouth of the alley with military-style off-road vehicles, leaving only a passage for pedestrians, then stationed personnel before comfortably getting into one of the off-road vehicles.
By evening, Cassius Turner drove over and knocked on the window of the military off-road vehicle.
So that day, the residents of the area noticed the alley entrance was blocked by intimidating off-road vehicles, with two idiots sitting on the hood, drinking and looking young and handsome, but seemingly not very bright.
These days, you really see all kinds of strange things.
Ignatius Leclair returned a day earlier than planned, having bought lots of gifts for Benjamin, hoping to surprise the little girl. But upon arriving in the Imperial City at night and heading to the Howard Family, the old lady said Yeats took Benjamin out to play and directly sent her back to the villa to sleep.
The man reached the villa and saw it was completely dark, and his face immediately darkened.
"Call Yeats." Ignatius entered the villa, turned on the lights, and instructed Maximilian.
"No one is answering Yeats’ phone." Maximilian was sweating as he continued calling.
The handsomely poised face of Ignatius slightly tensed, he silently went to Benjamin’s room, finding her secret stash of lollipops and saved pocket money were all missing.
His deep almond eyes narrowed, oh Benjamin, you really got some nerve!
