Chapter 147
“Lucas, I was wrong,” Brian said. “Don’t leave me with Paxton!”
Brian’s big eyes were filled with tears, looking extremely pitiful.
Among all the godfathers, Brian was most afraid of Paxton.
It wasn’t that Paxton treated Brian poorly. It could be said that Paxton was the kindest of all the godfathers. How
made a mistake, this godfather was also intimidating when it came to reprimanding.
Brian had been active since childhood and had been spoiled by everyone due to his health issues. Almost no one could bear to punish him, but Paxton was different. He would punish Brian if Brian did something wrong.
Therefore, in Brian’s mind, Paxton was deeply respected and feared.
Lucas was just trying to scare Brian. When he saw that Brian was genuinely scared, he said, “So, be good!”
Then, the two brothers went back to Brian’s room and chatted with their heads lowered.
Brian kept telling Lucas about the people he met after coming to Northville, the delicious food, and the fun things there. He also mentioned that he and Audrey found David, who was really nice.
But David was going to sit for his SAT soon. He usually reviewed in school Brian also mentioned that David was really cool when he boxed.
The two brothers chatted until late at night before falling asleep on the same bed in a daze.
Audrey came out of the lab and saw light coming through the gap at the bottom of Brian’s room door. She then opened the door and walked in.
On the big bed, the two little ones were sleeping soundly with their heads against each other.
Audrey took the blanket that the two brothers had kicked off the bed and gently covered them with it.
Lucas opened his eyes groggily. When he saw Audrey, he called out softly, “Mommy!”
Only at this moment would Lucas reveal such a soft and cuddly appearance.
Audrey lowered her head and kissed his forehead, saying, “Yeah. Mommy is here. Go back to sleep.”
“Did you just finish your experiment?” The little one squinted, smelling the scent of drugs on Audrey.
“Yeah” Audrey nodded, her cool expression softening for once, revealing a tender warmth.
“Can Brian be treated?”
“Yes, he can be treated. Don’t worry!” Audrey caressed Lucas’s head comfortingly and spoke gently. “It’s late. Go to sleep now.” Lucas replied obediently and softly, “Okay. Good night, Mommy!”
“Good night, sweetheart!” Audrey covered the two brothers with the blanket again before turning off the lights and leaving the
room
After returning to her room, Audrey rubbed her eyebrows wearily and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
All her experiments had failed. So far, only one method was feasible.
At the thought of this, Audrey’s eyes turned even colder.
After finishing her shower, she came out of the bathroom and saw a message from Dylan that had been sent a few hours earlier.
Audrey took a glance, turned off her phone, and went to bed.
The next morning, the two brothers woke up early.

Brian went with Lucas to the backyard to exercise for a while. It was not until Wendy called them to have breakfast that they entered the house.
After breakfast, Dylan arrived.
As soon as Brian heard that Dylan was here, he ran out quickly, completely forgetting Lucas’s warning the previous night.
“Dylan, why are you here?” Brian asked.
Dylan walked forward. his distinguished and handsome face softening like melting snow as he smiled gently and ru Brian’s hair.
“I’m here to see you all,” he said. “Where’s Mommy?”
Brian was just about to say that Audrey was sleeping when he heard a cold and childish voice behind him, immediately making him tremble.
“Brian, come here!” Lucas said.
Lucas had arrived at the doorway at some point. His dark, crystal–clear eyes stared coldly at Brian and Dylan.
Brian’s body trembled. Under the threat of Lucas’s gaze, he immediately ran over and let out two whimpers inwardly. ‘Dylan, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but Lucas is too scary, he thought, whimpering inwardly.
After Brian ran over, Lucas shot him a glance of frustration before looking at Dylan coldly.
Then, he said coldly, “Escort Mr. Clifford out. From now on, Mr. Clifford is not allowed to set foot in the Holland residence!” Dylan looked at his son’s cold face and chuckled. “The person you hired with 60 million dollars doesn’t seem to be all that. impressivel
Lucas instantly squinted. His youthful and cold little face frowned as he let out a snort
He showed no fear or panic after being exposed. Instead, he shouted arrogantly, “So what? I have a lot of money. I’m happy to spend it”
He thought, ‘If this man really dares to cause trouble, no big deal then. I’ll make a bomb and blow up Clifford Group. Hmph!” He’s young, but he has quite a temper, looking like a little adult, Dylan thought. He could not help but laugh in anger, but his face remained dignified and stern.
“I don’t really care,” Dylan replied indifferently. Then, he said. “I brought gifts for you and Brian. I’ll get someone to send them
over in a bit
“No need. Mr. Clifford, keep them for yourself!”
Lucas snorted coldly, thinking, Tm not interested in the stuff this man gives.
Knowing that his son was not easily fooled, Dylan sighed inwardly. However, he also knew that he probably would not be able to enter the Holland residence today.
He glanced up at a certain room, where the heavy curtains were drawn.
A short while later, Richard walked in carrying a big box of things.
He said politely to the two young children, Lucas and Brian, these are Mr. Clifford’s gifts to you all. This cloud computer is currently the highest–performing one in the world. Its boot speed is as high as 0.01 seconds, and it uses the most advanced technology in the world. This is Mr. Clifford’s gift to Brian.”
Brian’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard Richard explaining about the gift.
He didn’t expect that Dylan would give him the Cloud. As a hacker, he naturally knew how precious this computer was. There was only one such computer in the world.
“Hmph!” Lucas let out a snort.

“Lucas, this is a gift from Mr. Clifford. The Black Eagle 001 is three times more powerful than the Desert Eagle. It’s also the smallest pocket pistol in the world so far. It’s perfect for you to use. I believe you will like it!”
Lucas glanced at the exquisite silver pistol, and his eyes lit up.
It’s the Black Eagle 001 that I’ve always dreamed of!‘ he thought. “And it’s actually in Dylan’s hands!”
However, the gleam in his eyes disappeared in an instant. He let out a snort and said, “Take back the gifts. We don’t want that
man’s stuff.
With that said, he pulled the reluctant Brian into the house.
Richard carried the things back to the car. Dylan took a look. He then asked Richard to put the things away for now and wait for the right moment to present the gifts next time.
After that, he asked Richard to drive back to Clifford Mansion. He called the family doctor over to change the dressing. Just as the dressing was changed, Evan hurriedly walked in.
“Mr. Clifford, I’ve just received news that Nightshade Alliance has already sent people to Chritonia!” Evan said.
