Chapter278

Ethan was absolutely furious.

He didn’t lower his voice, and Maureen heard it before reaching her room.

Knowing they couldn’t hide, Jacob and Ethan stepped out.

Ethan blurted out: “Mommy, how come you’re coming out of Uncle Geoffrey’s room?”

He emerged with a scowl: “We’re discussing important matters. Care to join?”

The two little ones wanted to ask what business happened at this hour.

Suddenly–CRASH!

A loud noise came from outside, like something falling from height.
