Chapter 896 He was still smashing things when he was mad even when he was already at such an old age. However, it was not a big deal.
I sneered and said no more. I merely stared calmly back at him.

After a few moments, the old man looked away first and said coldly to Mason, "Where did you find this unruly lass? Make her leave immediately. Is Lynch Residence a place for an uneducated person like her? How ignorant and unsophisticated! She must have a death wish to challenge me." I sneered. "And they say that the Lynches are a scholarly family. Just listen to yourself. Don't you even feel sorry for other scholars? If my son hadn't gone missing while he was here, do you think I would want to step foot into a vulgar family like the Lynches?" "What did you say?" The old man completely lost it. He grabbed his cane and swung it toward me.
"It's been a while, Mr. Bernard." A man's loud and mellow voice rang out behind me.
The old man frowned and looked over my shoulder.
Everyone turned to look at the comer. It was none other than Theo.
Theo's tall figure stood in front of me. He lifted his hand to press down the cane that the old man raised. He smiled tenderly and charmingly. He appeared polite yet noble at the stime. "Mr. Bernard, we're your guests. Even if the Lynches don't welcmy wife, there's no need to raise your cane, am I right?" Bernard snorted coldly and pointed at me, asking," This ignorant lady is your wife?" Theo nodded, a smile plastered across his face. "She was chosen specifically forby my grandmother. What do you think of her?" "Only your grandmother would pick a wife of such quality." Bernard said with a face full of disdain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe smile on Theo's face faded a little, but he did not say anything and merely looked at Mason. He asked," Where's my son?" Mason looked even more uncomfortable than before. He said in a deep voice, "Munchkin said he wanted to g o out for a walk with Snowy, so I asked Julia to follow along. It rained when they were coming back. When they were seeking shelter from the rain, Julia turned around and noticed that he was gone." Theo was furious but did not show it on his face. He continued to ask calmly, "What's the situation now?" "I've filed a police report. All the airports, high-speed railway stations, passenger depots, and train station entrances will be heavily guarded. We've also dispatched our guys to search in various places in the city." I pursed my lips, suppressing the unease in my heart. I looked at Mason, asking, "Did Munchkin go missing with Snowy?" He nodded. "Yes." Theo frowned. "A good-looking little boy and a Samoyed dog can be really eye-catching. If he disappeared when Julia merely turned around for a moment, then it's logical to say that it'll be easy to find him. Besides, Munchkin isn't the kind of kid who would run around. I've also found someone to train Snowy. He'd drag Munchkin back if he strays too far away from the adults, so I don't think he lost his way."
After a pause, he continued, "Try and think back to who has a grudge against the Lynches and find m someone to look into it. Check all the surveillance cameras near Lynch Residence as well and see if there was anyone suspicious around the mansion." Mason had probably cback to his senses as well. He quickly nodded. He pulled out his phone and went out.
The crowd in the living room was silent. Theo glanced atand held my hand. Then, he looked at Bernard and said, "Mr. Bernard my wife is worried about the kid so she's bound to sound harsh. We seek your understanding. It's probably not a convenient tfor the Lynches to receive us at a tlike this, so we'll cback sother day to pay a visit." Having said that, he took my hand and walked toward the door. Bernard was hoping to say something but we walked too fast so he did not manage to say it.
After leaving Lynch Residence, Theo and I were silent the whole way.
The car was parked at a hotel not far from Lynch Residence. Theo looked looked atwith a deep and dark gaze. "It's NO really late now. You should get a good rest. We'll find the child tomorrow, okay?" X
