Chapter 842
A pouty North expressed, "You're the only one who treats me like a kid. Mommy and Daddy tell me everything."
Brian replied, "A branch company that owns an amusement park under your dad's name had a bungee jumping
accident where the rope snapped, causing a deadly accident. It's the talk of the town now, and the higher-ups had
even caught wind of this. Your daddy has to deal with that personally."
Shocked, North asked, "How many died?"
His words surprised Brian. Is he really a child? How could he ask so calmly about the death count?
"One."
"Then, will anything happen to Daddy?"
"We'll have to see how they judge the case. If the blame falls on the amusement park, then he won't be able to
escape from the involvement. All the media suspected that it was because the fixtures were past their age and had
not been replaced. Still, we can't exclude the fact that someone might have sabotaged the equipment to mess with

North became worried. "You should go too. It'll be fine with me and Grandma at home."
Brian glanced at him before stating, "Nope. If I go, who's gonna send and pick you up from school? Do you know
how naggy your father is? He's always reminding me of every little thing every ten minutes. I thought my ears were
going to bleed from all his nagging."
Yet, North only retorted, "Daddy is only worried because you can be unreliable, isn't that right, Grandma?" He
remembered to include another ally in his camp while being bold.
A smiling Ellen responded, "That's right. My dear grandson is correct."
This made Brian speechless.
Seeing how he did not speak, North leaned forward against the front seat and said with a cutesy tone, "Uncle
Brian…"
"What?" Brian replied impatiently.
The response made Ellen slap the top of his head. "You speak properly to my grandson."
Feeling wronged, Brian could not help but lamented, "You two sure are united. Can't I even express my feelings for
a bit?"
She fiercely retorted, "What's there to express? I won't let you off the hook if you frighten my dear grandson."
"Mom, does he look like he's scared? I'm the one getting bullied here."
"Whatever. Just speak appropriately. Otherwise, I'll move out with North."
Brian laughed out of frustration. "Is that how you teach children? Teaching them to run away from home at such a
young age?"
At this point, North interjected, "I know what is right and wrong. Uncle Brian, could you go to my house first? I want
to get some of my stuff."
Brian replied, "Are you talking about fresh clothes? I've already brought some for you."
"What about my computer?"
"Don't worry. I took that for you too. You can go there and have a look first. If anything is missing, then we can go
back and grab it."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs such, they followed Brian back to his villa. When surrounded by a new environment, North naturally went around
for a tour.
"North, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you," Ellen asked while removing her coat.
He answered, "Grandma, could you please make spicy crayfish?"
"Alright. Sit tight and wait." While saying that, she strode to the kitchen happily.
As he was still scanning around, he touched various objects here and there, discovering that Brian's house had a lot
of exotic and strange decorations.
At that moment, Brian came over with a smile. "Do you like it?"
With hands behind his back, North replied proudly, "It's nothing special." Then, he took a dart from the table before
pitching it against the dartboard.
He assumed the dart would have firmly pierced the dartboard, yet it fell to the ground before reaching it.
Not wanting to accept this, he picked it up and threw it again. Alas, it did not reach.
Is it because of my strength? Or am I too far away?
Over and over again, he picked the dart up and threw it while simultaneously closing in with every shot. In the end,
he was barely six feet away from the dartboard, yet he still could not land a shot.
