CHAPTER 56:[Bonus chapter]
"If we let you take a step inside, all of us will lose our jobs."
Axel frowned, taking several steps back. He lifted his head, scanning the visible windows and balconies of the mansion.
"Where's Mom and Dad?" he asked without taking his eyes off of the mansion.
"They were having dinner."
"And the little ancestor?" Axel clicked his tongue in irritation.
"The Madam and the Chairman were still coaxing him." The butler heaved a deep exhale. "It seemed the young master heard about his parent's divorce. Thus, he was thinking of cloning himself."
"Clone — the heck?" Axel glared daggers at the butler, but like a beggar, he couldn't do anything. He was the second young master, but at this point, his authority in the family was far too insignificant. Not that he ever indulged in the idea of hierarchy in the family, but it was frustrating sometimes.
"His parents aren't divorcing." Axel ground his teeth, glaring at the butler. "How I wish they just separate, but nope. I don't know where that rumor came from, but it's a hoax."
Axel marched toward the head butler, pointing at his chest. "You better tell him that. If he doesn't believe me, then he should just go home to see it for himself."
He huffed as he stepped back. Axel maintained his eyes on the butler before lifting his gaze toward the mansion behind the servants.
"Dang..." he glanced at the butler one last time before turning his back on them. Without even stepping foot in the mansion's portico, Axel strutted back to his car and sped away without thinking twice.
As Axel jumped inside the car and drove away, the butler felt his knees wobble. If not for the maid near him, he would've fallen on his butt.
'Why...' the head butler huffed deeply. '... does this always happen?'
He slowly looked back at the mansion, eyes on a particular window. The window was dark, but the butler caught the slight movement of the curtain.
"Young master, see?" the butler sighed. "It was just a rumor. There's nothing to worry about it."
The rest of the servants could only stare at the head butler strangely. How could the young master hear him if he was outside while Sebastian Zhu was inside? Unbeknownst to them, the young genius of the Zhu family heard the butler loud and clear. To be precise, he heard everything, including Axel's remarks, clearly.
A small boy sitting on the edge of the bed took off the earpiece and tossed it into the bin. It went in smoothly, but there was not even a tiny satisfaction that appeared on his youthful yet emotionless countenance.
Knock Knock
The boy didn't move from his spot while the door creaked slightly. Lights from outside stretched into the dimness of the room.
"Pumpkin?" called a beautiful woman in her mid-fifties, searching the room with her eyes as she peeked her head in. She immediately caught the small figure sitting on the edge of the bed, sighing as she smiled. "Can I come in?"
"No."
The woman sighed once again. "Are you still upset with us?" the woman opened the door wider, but didn't take even a step inside the room.
The boy didn't answer.
"Your father and mother were fixing something important. But it's not what you think it is —"
