Chapter 109

"Miss, can I ask you another question?" Julian looked up at Edith. His pretty, dark pupils glistened under the sunlight. It looked like a pair of black, shiny gemstones. Edith's face sank. "Why does a brat like you have so many questions?"

"Ms. Price, he's not just any brat. He's Mr. Hughes' nephew. You have no idea how smart he is. I've only chatted with him for a while, but I already felt he's wise beyond his years. He asked me a while ago, 'After removing U, F, and O from the 26 letters of the alphabet, how many are there left?' I answered 23, and it turned out to be wrong. The answer is very surprising. Ms. Price, would you like to know the answer?" The receptionist asked excitedly.

She was trying to get Edith interested, but Edith's cold stare made it clear she was not interested.

The receptionist pursed her lips and stopped talking.

"Oh my goodness. Whose child is this? He's adorable."

"Isn't that right? He's just too cute. Why does that kid sitting over there look so much like Mr. Hughes?"

Employees who passed by the reception were all smitten with the children's good looks.

Some even noticed how Tristan looked very similar to Jasper.

Edith was feeling increasingly threatened. She could not let these two children stay here any longer. She needed to make them leave as soon as possible.

She replied in a seemingly calm manner, "What's your question? Go ahead."
