Chapter 69
Billionaire’s Reborn Baby novel Chapter 69
Elsie threw the painting into the trash can, “Mom, I think it’s better to ask Harold.”
“Alright.” Beverly looked into the mirror carefully and felt that there were still traces of bruise on her neck. Although Eliot had seized Elsie by the throat longer than he did to her, she never thought that Maury would choke her harder than Eliot did to Elsie. She could tell that he even wanted to strangle her. And there was still a little bit of bruise left on her neck.
Elsie’s hand was still wrapped in gauze, making it difficult to move. As it was her right hand that was injured, she had a hard time entering the password on her phone with her left hand. Then she raised her head and asked, “Mom, Dad has frozen all our cards. What should we do if we don’t have money in the future?”
Beverly paused and said, “There will be a way.”
Something suddenly occurred to Elsie and she whispered, “Mom, has that guy contacted you recently?”
Beverly’s expression darkened, “No.”
“Then how about …”
Before Elsie could finish her sentence, Beverly interrupted her, “We need to wait.”
Now, thinking about the task that guy assigned, Beverly always felt that he had other purposes. However, the price offered was so high that looking at the string of numbers, she couldn’t refuse at all.
However, the last task that guy assigned seemed to be targeting the Britt family. And Maury had already been suspicious the last time they renewed their contract. Next time … Beverly was not sure whether she would be able to accept the task.
That night.
Emily counted the paintings in the room that she drew for fun with her left hand and left foot. When she noticed that one painting was missing, she slightly curled up her lips and picked up a piece of white paper. She casually sprinkled some watercolor paint on it. Originally, she planned to just scribble several pieces, but when she saw that the paper now looked like the dark blue starry sky in the night after the paint spread, her fingers paused. Then she picked up the brush and began to draw seriously.
Downstairs, Harold was called into the kitchen to fix the faucet. Beverly asked, “Can you fix it?”
Harold nodded and tightened the bolt, “It’s done.”
Beverly went forward to check it. Then she nodded in satisfaction and asked casually, “Oh right, where did you take Miss Emily today?”
Harold answered immediately, “KFC.”
“What did you do?” Beverly continued, still casually.
Harold, “We had ice cream.”
Beverly didn’t believe him, “That’s all?”
“No.”
Beverly was a little anxious, “What else?”
Harold raised two fingers and said, “We also ate two chicken wings.”
“…”
“Anything else?” Beverly asked patiently.
Harold said slowly, “And one serve of French Fries and a spicy chicken leg.”
“…”
Beverly nearly lost control of her expression, and the corner of her mouth twitched fiercely. She tried her best to contain herself and asked, “Food aside, did she ask you to do anything? Or did she take you to any place other than KFC?”
