Chapter 26

Madeline Grant was in a daze. Did her son really just gift her a helicopter? She had to admit it was a rather sweet gesture on his part, but she could not help but wonder where he got the money from.

She thanked the pilot before returning to her room and contacting her son.

“You little punk, where did you get the money to buy a helicopter?!” she scolded Thomas through the phone.

“I see you’ve received your present, Mommy. What do you think? Are you impressed with your son yet?” Thomas said cheekily on the other line.

“I’ll decide whether or not I’m impressed once you tell me where the money came from,” Madeline said sternly.

“Oh, it was a gift from my dear Auntie Angie,” Thomas chuckled.

“Well, your dear Auntie Angie is about to realize that she’s been fooled very soon. You’d better watch out,” she warned her son whilst rubbing her temple. How was her young son such a genius conman?

“Well, Mommy, are you impressed now?”

Thomas asked once again.

“Yes, yes. Very impressed…,” Madeline trailed off as her cellphone indicated an incoming phone call from Albert. She wished her son a quick goodbye before she picking up Albert’s call.
