Chapter 1708 The two maids assigned to look after Bryan and Christine stood there helplessly.
"Ma'am, Mister Bryan and Miss Christine were fighting over a toy. We couldn't stop them.” "They threw a tantrum when we tried to stop them.- Corinne pinched the bridge of her nose again. She had been so busy recently that she sort of neglected the two kids to the point where they had beceven more bad-tempered.
"Enough is enough! Both of you stop!" roared Corinne.
The kids stood quietly as they felt their mother's burning rage.

Corinne pulled them closer, scolded them sternly, and forbade them to have any snacks for one month. Christine and Bryan's faces immediately fell when they heard that.
Nonetheless, Corinne stood firm on her decision. She took out the handwriting homework the kindergarten had given them and told them to do it. She would be back later to check on their progress.
Christine and Bryan were displeased with the punishment they received but did not dare to disobey her, so they did as they were told.
After she finished lecturing the two kids, Corinne cout of the room and looked for the maid who was holding Joey's potato chips for her.
The maid was looking for her, too. "Ma'am, Old Missus Holden is asking for you. She'd like to have a word with you." 'A word with me? Did Grandma find out something?'thought Corinne with concern.
After deliberating for a while, she asked the maid, "How about Joey? Have you found him?" "Yes, Mister Joey is taking a nap in his own room. There's no need to worry about him. Please go and see Old Missus Holden now," replied the maid.
Corinne nodded in relief. "Okay, please bring those potato chips to Joey for me." "Yes, ma'am.” Corinne turned around and headed to Old Missus Holden's room.
After seeing Corinne off, the maid proceeded to Joey's room with the two packs of potato chips. She happened to bump into another maid, who just walked past Joey's room.
When the other maid found out that she was heading to Joey's room, she tried to stop her.

"Mister Joey is sleeping, so you shouldn't disturb him. Why don’t you bring the potato chips to him afterward? Let's go and clean the stairs first before Mister Greg wakes up from his nap and sees dust in the house!" The maid agreed with her colleague, so she put the two packs of potato chips on a cabwith a flower vase on it and went on to clean the stairs.
After the two maids went off to clean the stairs, the maid who was looking after Bryan and Christine cans out of the room to get some water for them.
She noticed the potato chips on the cabinet and recalled that Corinne had just banned the kids from eating any snacks for one month, so she quickly hid them away. ‘Better put these away before Mister Bryan and Miss Christine see them.’ Sophia had finished preparing lunch and was about to invite her father for lunch. However, her father's men told her that he had gone out.
She tried to find out why her father had gone out, but his men kept a tight lip. Nevertheless, she still managed to figure out what her father was up to.
‘Dad will never hide anything from if it's work-related, so he must've gone out to look for Melinda and Lilin.
Hmph! | don't know what he sees in that woman. It's as if she had given him a love potion or something. A rich charming man like him could easily get any woman he wants! Even teenage girls would fall for him! Why is he so obsessed with that old witch?!
As much as she was upset with Adam, she knew it was not in her place to criticize her father to her suite and called Zachary and Benjamin out of their room for lunch.
