Dusk.
Violette came home earlier than usual.
After Albina picked up Ian, she carried Rita into the room.
Ian watched his grandma take his sister away, knowing what was about to happen.
"Ian, give me your backpack," Violette reached out her hand to Ian.
Ian handed her the backpack with both hands.
She opened his backpack and took out his laptop.
Instead of opening his laptop, she said directly, "Your Uncle Mike told me everything. You've been using the skills he taught you to do some bad things. Ian, do you know that's illegal? If you get caught, do you know what you'll face?"
Ian didn't even blink: "I'm only four years old, can they really put me in jail?"
Even if Elijah had a lot of power in A Country, he probably couldn't get a four-year-old child into prison.
But that was not the point. The point was, Ian's values were starting to get twisted.
"You won't be four years old forever. You'll grow up," Violette lectured him, "I can't watch you make mistakes over and over again, so I'm confiscating your laptop for now."
Ian: "Uncle Mike will get me a new one."
Violette sighed with a headache, "Do you still plan to do bad things?!"
Ian shook his head, "I won't mess with Elijah anymore."
As long as he didn't mess with Elijah, no one else would be able to trace him.
"You're not allowed to eat dinner tonight," Violette's eyes were slightly red as she held his laptop and walked towards the bedroom.
Ian knew his mom wouldn't 'beat him up', but thinking of her angry face made him feel sad.
He just wanted to help his mom punish those who bullied her.
