Chapter 392: Toxic family
Today was the third day Brian returned home feeling relaxed, calm, and happy. The servants knew he must have encountered something interesting because he had never been this content for a long while.
The young man entered the house and blessed all the workers with a smile. The servants were scared to get accustomed to their young master’s new behavior for fear that he might just be having mood swings.
Brian’s new behavior didn’t go unnoticed by his parents. Mr. Hwang was quite excited about his son’s happiness but not his wife, Nancy.
She felt that Brian had started communicating with Piper behind her back, and so she sent out people to monitor his every move... her belief wasn’t unfounded. Three days ago, she received a phone call from the communication department stating that someone had made a call out of the city with a burner phone that couldn’t be traced.
She had been keeping watch to know who that person was but failed, so now that her son was unnecessarily happy, it has to be connected, She thought.
Sitting at the dining table and eating breakfast, Mr. Hwang’s hardened gaze was on his wife after she made a statement that didn’t go down well with him.
"Ok," unlike before, Brian didn’t argue or refuse. His response not only shocked his mother but also left Mr. Hwang feeling uncomfortable.
"Are you sure about that?" he asked his son.
"I’m cool with it," Brian declared.
"Don’t do something you’ll regret, son." The father was skeptical. He knows his son and understands him well.
"I’d be ok, Dad, I got this," he smiled faintly at his dad and continued eating.
