Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 2098

Vireo was stunned. "Abigail, what did you say?"

"I said you are an illegitimate child! A poor ghost! You've had your eyes on our family's properties as soon as you're born! You are deliberately here to snatch away our family's properties!" Abigail roared at Vireo with incomparable viciousness.

"What...family properties?" Vireo asked.

In fact, Abigail also had not much clue. She had often heard her grandparents muttering about it, so she committed it to memory.

"Family properties? Family properties are all the delicious food and drinks in my house! Vireo, listen to me carefully. In the future, all the delicious food and drinks in the house are mine! I am the truly youngest one in the family. Grandpa and Grandma, and also Dad and Mom, had always taught the four of us that the older ones have to let the younger ones have their way. All the good food and drinks and also the fun things had to be given to the youngest child.

"However, you're not the youngest child. You're adopted so you're not counted. I am the youngest in the Payne family and I should be the most pampered one! From now on, you're not allowed to fight me for anything! If you dare to fight with me, I will let you suffer more than you had today.

"How was it, Vireo? It was very fun to be beaten up today, right? I'll tell you something. I had deliberately let myself be bullied by those small boys today. I deliberately wanted to lure you over to fight with them, and then let Dad beat you up again when you get home. Haha."

After Abigail had said that, she went into her room and went to bed. Vireo was left behind by himself to kneel in the living room for the whole night. The child, who had yet turned ten, had thought about many things that night. He felt very scared and also miserable.

The next morning, his face was still swollen from being beaten by his father. However, his eyes were also puffy from crying. When his parents got up in the morning and saw that Vireo was still kneeling in the living room, and his eyes were also puffy from crying, they more or less felt a little sorry for him. After all, they had adopted him as soon as he was born and the Payne family had raised him since birth. Other than the fact that he was not their biological child, he was n o different from their biological children.

Vireo's mother felt particularly sorry. When she saw her son being in that state, she instantly hugged her son and cried, feeling heartbroken. "Lucius Payne, you d*mned man! How can you be so heartless and beat your son up like that? If anything were to happen to him after you've beaten him up, would you still have a son? If you didn't have a son anymore, in this street, how many scornful looks from others do we have to endure and how many people would eye on you like a tiger eyeing its prey!"

What his wife had said was indeed what concerned Lucius. When he saw his son, who had half of his face swollen like a chipmunk, he also felt slightly heartbroken. His tone then became much more gentle, "It's no big deal for little boys to suffer a little. Boys had to be beaten. He had to suffer enough and gain responsibility, only then could he shoulder our family's business. I know very well what I've made him into with my beatings."

After saying that, Lucius said to Vireo in a coaxing yet deterring tone. "Vireo, I know I have hit you a little hard, but you are a boy. You're different from your sisters. You'll have to inherit the Payne family's properties in the future. Do you understand? Boys are not allowed to cry like a woman! No more crying! You have been punished this time, so your mom and I will take you to buy some cool clothes and give you a new bag, alright? Hurry up and stop crying!"

The method that his father had used was a combination of both showing grace and power. He was also using that as a disguise for apologizing to Vireo.

Lucius initially thought Vireo would immediately stop crying, and he also would still very sensibly tell his parents, 'Dad and Mom, don't worry. I am fine. I know you're just doing it for my own good. I will not get into trouble again in the future. I will study well.'
