Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 194 My Dad's Illegitimate Child? Bonnie left after the conversation concluded.

Not long after they left, a booming laugh from Philip echoed from outside. It was powerful and deafening.

"Hahaha, this is fantastic! You should have seen Doug's face; his hair practically stood on end from anger. Jim, on the other hand, appeared as if he was about to lose his mind! Humph! Serves them right for mockingbefore. "This is just karma at work. They got what they deserved! "Tomorrow, let's head to the military district and challenge the other old fools and their sons. Let them see what we're made of, hahaha!" Everyone was speechless and boastful.

Immediately after, Philip strolled in with his hands behind his back, not even needing his cane. The old man looked energised. Trailing behind him were two children.

One of them was bouncing around excitedly and chatting animatedly with Philip.

The other one, however, seemed uninterested, following behind with a sullen expression. His furrowed brows clearly displayed his irritation. His whole demeanour screamed 'Stay away' and the faint glint of anger in his red- tinged eyes was enough to send chills down anyone's spine.

As soon as that boy stepped into the living room, something caught his eye. Instantly, his hostile aura vanished. In the next second, he ran over to Milly and circled her excitedly with bright, adoring eyes. "Awool Awoo!" Milly couldn't understand what he was saying, but she could guess from his beaming eyes. She reached out and gently patted his head as she usually does and praised, "Good boy, Apollo." Apollo appeared to be a dog receiving affection. He happily closed his eyes and said, "Awoo! Awoo!" Apollo was entirely fixated on Milly, circling her as if no one else existed. Whenever she appeared, his eyes saw no one else. However, the sudden presence of this unfamiliar boy left everyone else in collective shock. Jonathan, in particular, leaped up and gestured accusingly.

"Who is he?!" Milly hesitated to answer. "Hmm She was momentarily at a loss for how to explain.

If she said he was a foundling, Jordan would definitely investigate. If he discovered Apollo was a test subject, he would never allow him to stay with the Burnetts.

Philip believed it mostly because he trusted George implicitly. Anything George said, Philip would believe.

But Jordan wasn't so easily swayed! Chapter 194 My Dad's Illegitimate Child? Jordan was rational, calm, and highly intelligent. He would know if she was lying, so he could easily deduce the truth.

She wouldn't be able to prove that Apollo cfrom an orphanage. The adoption process was complex, as the Burnetts would know, No plausible explanations cto mind.

She couldn't say he fell from the sky.

Milly had considered everything, but she forgot about how smart Jordan was.

George could have arranged for Apollo to assa false identity.

While she debated whether to cclean, Philip interjected, "He is your brother from now. The youngest heir of the Burnetts." "What?! Brother?” Jonathan felt completely shocked, as if struck by lightning.

Only a day had passed since his departure, and now a new brother had arrived.

Could it be...

"Is he my dad's illegitimate child?!" No sooner had he spoken than a solid wooden cane cflying at his leg, hitting hard. "Ouch!" Jonathan hopped around on one leg, clutching his injured limb, wincing, and protesting.

"Grandpa, why did you hit me?!" Philip snorted coldly, giving him a disapproving look. He scolded, "Consider yourself lucky: I didn't beat you to a pulp. All you've done is age without gaining any wisdom. Do you really think your father could have another child?" Jonathan couldn't rebuke that.

Hearing his grandfather's words, Jonathan lowered his leg and thoughtfully rubbed his chin. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded solemnly.

"True, my dad's a man; he can't give birth. Then it must be...

He clapped his hands, excitedly declaring, my mom's illegitimate child!" Everyone was dumbstruck and struggled with words.

Milly rubbed her forehead in frustration.

Indeed, Jordan was right; Jonathan must have eaten calcium tablets that made him stupid as a child. Did he not realise that if Apollo were truly his mother's illegitimate child, Philip wouldn't bring him back to the Burnetts? Not just Philip; Milly also wanted to grab the cane and whack Jonathan. This level of intelligence ...

No wonder his grades were noorl Chapter 194 My Dad's Illegitimate Child? As expected, Jonathan received another hit on his leg.

"Ouch! Grandpa, I think my reasoning is spot on. Why did you hitagain?" "Hmph!" Philip's eyebrows shot up in anger. He scolded, "Your brain must be connected to your colon. All you can do is call You're useless." Jonathan was at a loss for words.

"This boy was brought back by Milly...

Philip paused. He still felt awkward addressing her by name, so he m changed the focus and said. "By that girl and George. I saw he had potential, so I kept him. With my nurturing, maybe someday he'll beca general and carry on my legacy." Jonathan shut his mouth instantly upon hearing that it was Milly who brought him back.

As a devoted brother, his first rule was to unconditionally trust his sister.

Jordan lightly tapped the table. His deep eyes revealed nothing of his thoughts, and he had remained silent throughout..

Stephanie, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly spoke up.

"So it was Milly who brought him back, but our family is a reputable one. Bringing someone in without caution might be risky. What if he has ulterior motives?", She even covered her mouth, feigning concern towards the end of her speech. Stephanie then looked at Philip apologetically and said, "Sorry, Grandpa, I didn't mean anything. I'm just worried. You won't be upset at me, right?".

Philip always doted on her. That old man couldn't bear to scold her.

He said with a smile, "It's okay. George is a careful boy. If he brought him, there's no issue."

Stephanie bit her lip, unwilling to give up. "Of course, if George brought him in, there shouldn't be an issue. But conmen these days are getting more sophisticated, making it hard to guard against them. I think it's safer to investigate, just to be sure. After all, it wouldn't hurt anything." Philip seemed to consider her point. He frowned slightly and agreed, "Stephanie might have a point. Maybe we should.

Before he could finish, Anthony interrupted, "Investigate what? Grandpa, did you forget? Just now, Apollo helped you take down three En men single-handedly. If he had any ill intentions, do you think the two of us, an old man and a weakling would have made it back safely?" X
