Book 2 : She Becomes Glamorous After the Engagement

Chapter 21

Chapter 673: A Small Misunderstanding~

Xander was going through the back door. After all, it was too dangerous if he went through the front door, making it easy for others to see him.

At the back was a place where food was delivered for the Hunts’ kitchen.

For the birthday banquet, the butler had already begun to buy ingredients wantonly. For example, right then, a few people were pushing fresh king crabs. They were following behind the kitchen manager to deliver them.

These two were the familiar faces Xander had seen.

They were tall, and they looked very strong.

These two people were Trueman’s men.

He had seen them in the basement overseas. At that time, they were killers and were very skilled.

He remembered his dog Butterscotch. When it was being dragged away, it protected its son, Biscuit, fiercely. It was a dog taller than a person and was agile like a wolf.

At that time, Trueman had called the two of them over. They could not inject anesthesia into Butterscotch as the blood would affect the experimental data. So the two of them grabbed the dog with their bare hands and subdued it.

In his small world, Butterscotch was the guardian angel of all the cats and dogs. It was also his guardian angel. He watched helplessly as its bones were broken by these two people and dragged out…

This made him feel that his little heart had been heavily injured. Therefore, in his world, these two people were like demons who were very terrifying

If Trueman said that these two people could beat everyone in the Hunts down, Xander would believe him.

Xander was stunned when he saw them.

Why were these two here?

Was his father here to pick him up?

As Xander hesitated, the two of them suddenly noticed him. One of them immediately said, “Is that Xander?”

With that, the kitchen steward turned his head.

Xander was hiding behind the grass. If one did not pay attention, one would not be able to see him. However, when the two of them spoke, the butler saw him and immediately became anxious. “Xander, why are you here?”

The butlers at home knew Xander.

On the first day he had returned home, the head butler had gotten them to pay attention, afraid that this little demon king would do something to tease everyone.

No one liked him and he was too naughty. He tortured them until they could not speak.

For example, in the kitchen, when he said he wanted to eat bean sprout crabs, he had tormented a group of people for an entire day.

To prepare Bean sprout crab, as the name suggested, one had to tear off the crab meat and stuff it into the small bean sprout.

The kitchen staff had tried to satisfy Xander… After all, although Justin was indifferent to him, he had instructed them to take good care of him. How could anyone dare to disregard Xander?

Therefore, the group of people in the kitchen found three clever people. They looked at the very thin bean sprouts and stuffed crab meat into them for an entire day before successfully stuffing 100 pieces.

When the dish was served, Xander casually took a bite and turned to feed the stray cats at home.

The kitchen staff was really furious, but there was nothing they could do.

Pete never used such methods to torture people. Other than cooking strictly according to the recipe, Pete was really easy to serve.

When the kitchen manager thought of this, he sighed.

Xander had been discovered. His escape plan could only be delayed for the time being. He carried his bag and slowly turned around to walk back. “Oh, I was too full. I was just taking a walk.”

The kitchen manager was speechless.

How could the incharge dare to let him go back alone? He could only follow behind him and watch him enter Justin’s villa with his own eyes before leaving.

After he left, Xander sneaked out of the room again.

Xander blinked his large eyes. Before he returned to the country, his father had said that if he wanted to see if his new father cared about him, he should make all kinds of requests to see if his father would fulfill them.

That was why Xander had made so many requests. As he watched everyone in the Hunt circle around him, he felt his presence in the Hunts for the first time.

Was this how Pete and Cherry had lived all these years?

They could get whatever they wanted.

Even those unrealistic bean sprout crabs were possible!

What about him?

In the basement overseas, one had to give something of the same value in exchange for anything they wanted. Dad said that it was called self-sufficiency.

Although he thought that was quite cool, he actually preferred Pete’s life.

He was really degenerating!

Xander shook his head. He was about to leave, so he did not want to think about this anymore. Anyway, he still had to live his old life!

He hunched his back and continued walking. When he arrived at the park, the two people he had seen earlier suddenly walked out of the forest and surrounded Xander.

Xander was stunned. He looked at the two of them in fear. “What are you doing here? Are you here to take me back?”

One of them chuckled. “Xander, Mr. Yale asked you not to go back. Only by staying here can you snatch the heir’s position! Besides, isn’t this place good?”

Xander frowned. “Snatch the heir’s position?”

“That’s right. Did you forget the mission Mr. Yale gave you when you returned to the country?”

Xander pursed his little lips. His face was simply the same as Justin’s.

When he returned to the country, the mission Daddy had assigned him was to destroy the relationship between Justin and that woman and to snatch Justin’s love.

However…

He frowned. “Dad… The tyrant isn’t easy to fool. He likes Cherry and Pete a lot. He won’t like me.”

Each time Justin looked at Pete and Cherry, although his expression did not change, his eyes were filled with gentleness.

Just like when they were arguing earlier…

He had looked straight at Pete. His eyes clearly said that he would believe anything Pete said.

Justin would never give him such trust!

Just as Xander thought of this, he heard the bodyguard say, “Mr. Yale has asked us to help you. Don’t you want to obtain Justin’s fatherly love?”

Xander was tempted by this sentence.

Did he want to?

Of course.

He wanted to.

He asked, “How can you help me?”

The bodyguard grinned. “Have you forgotten? Didn’t we agree that you would find a chance to trick the twins out of the house? After we kidnap them and kill them, Justin will only have you as his son. Wouldn’t that be good?”

Xander’s pupils shrank when he heard this.

Not far away, Pete and Cherry were hiding. When they saw Xander tiptoeing, the two of them were worried that Xander would do something bad, so they followed him out.

However, they did not expect to see this scene!

Cherry’s eyes immediately widened as she looked at Pete. “Pete, Xander is too bad!”

Pete pursed his lips tightly. He did not expect Xander to be so bad! When he had seen Xander being scolded, he had actually felt sorry for him.

Pete suppressed his anger and glanced at Cherry. “There’s no one here. Let’s run…”

He wanted to show Xander’s true face to his father!

The two of them retreated silently, but at this moment, they heard a voice…

Chapter 674: Joining Forces~

Fatty’s voice suddenly came from behind. “Pete, Cherry, what are you doing here?!”

This voice instantly alerted the three people in conversation.

The two bodyguards immediately turned around. One of them was agile and ran over quickly, blocking Pete and Cherry’s way!

As for Fatty, his opponent had hit him on the shoulder and knocked him out.

Then, he sneered and looked at Xander. “Xander, you really tricked these two people out!”

Hearing this, Pete and Cherry were even more furious.

It was especially so for Cherry. She glared at Xander with her dark eyes. “Jerk, liar! Pete and I were going to let you go, and we were going to like you. How can you treat us like this?!”

She still wanted to shout, but her mouth was covered by the bodyguard. There was some knockout powder on the handkerchief, so Cherry fainted.

Pete shut his mouth when he saw this and did not say a word.

When the bodyguard saw his expression, he did not attack immediately. Instead, he smiled and said, “You’re quite obedient.”

Pete did not speak, but his eyes were fixed on Xander.

Xander looked at them in a daze. He wanted to explain that it was not like that. He did not trick them out. However, he suddenly recalled that before he returned to the country, his father had indeed said that he wanted to drive a wedge between Justin and Nora.

At that time, he had been very stupid and asked, “What if I don’t succeed?”

Trueman touched his head. “Don’t worry. Once you appear, there will definitely be a rift between those two. After all, no woman can ignore the fact that their lover has a child with another woman, right?”

Then, he had chuckled and said, “Besides, I’ll help you become the Hunts’ heir.”

At that time, he did not understand what this help meant, but he understood now!

However, he did not expect this.

He looked at the two bodyguards and wanted to tell them to let go of the two children, but he suddenly thought of how powerful these two were.

He had never had the right to speak.

He was not like Pete, who was the young master of the Hunt's. With just one sentence, he could make everyone in the Hunt's serve him.

Even if he said no, this was what his father wanted. The two bodyguards would not let go.

These two bodyguards were too powerful… This place was relatively remote. Everyone was busy in the front hall preparing for the birthday party.

When Xander chose to leave, he had chosen the path that no one else in the house would take.

No one would come over here!

It was useless even if he shouted.

Xander thought about it and looked at Pete and Cherry. He suddenly said, “I miss Dad. I don’t want to stay here. I want to leave with you guys!”

He wanted to stay with Cherry and guarantee that the two bodyguards would not kill them!

The two bodyguards instantly frowned.

After all, the mission they had received was to kidnap the two children. Trueman did not say that he wanted to bring Xander back!

As they were thinking, Xander shouted, “If you don’t take me with you, I’ll tell Daddy Tyrant that you kidnapped Cherry!”

The two bodyguards pursed their lips.

If Justin knew who did it, he would probably find them very quickly. The two of them could only press on their earphones. Trueman’s low laughter came from the earpiece. “Bring him back!”

Trueman had been talking to them from the beginning to the end.

He had just drugged Cherry and not Pete. This was his intention. He chuckled softly. “We have to let people know that it was Xander who did this, right?”

The two bodyguards were a little worried. “But in the king crab cage, only two children could be placed.”

They had brought the king crab over in a cage. The cage was supposed to be the tool to smuggle the two children out.

Now that Xander was leaving at the last minute, they could only kidnap one of the twins.

When Pete heard this, he said very calmly, “Then you should take me. After all, I’m the future heir of the Hunt's. It’s useless for the daughter to stay in the Hunt's.”

He looked at Xander again with a very cold gaze. “I’m your opponent, right? If you want the heir’s position, you can only succeed by getting rid of me.”

Xander looked at him, wanting to explain that he did not think that way.

Even if he had thought of this before returning to the country, he had already dismissed it after coming here. However, when he looked into Pete’s dark eyes, he could not say anything.

When the two bodyguards heard this, they felt that it made sense.

However, a voice suddenly came from the earpiece. “Kidnap the daughter, Justin loves his daughter the most.”

The two bodyguards were speechless.

Someone wanted to explain. “The daughter could not be the heir to the Hunt's. Mr. Yale, you…”

“Do as I say.”

Trueman interrupted him. After all, he did not just want the heir’s position!

The bodyguard instantly stood up straight. “Yes.”

He looked at Pete and then at Cherry before saying, “Which one of them is the girl? Take off your pants! Why are their hairs so long… Take the girl away and leave the boy behind!”

These words made Pete’s pupils shrink.

Logically speaking, they should have kidnapped him to help Xander, but why would they suddenly kidnap Cherry?

However, this thought only lasted for a moment before he pointed at the fainted Cherry and pretended to be adorable. “He is a girl. I’m not a little girl! I’m a little boy!”

When he said this, the bodyguard laughed. “Pfft, he is a girl? You’re contradicting yourself!”

Pete immediately covered his mouth as if he had said something wrong. “No, I’m not Daddy’s daughter. Pete is!”

The other bodyguard had already rushed to him and grabbed him. “Alright, take off your pants!”

As he spoke, he had already moved to take off Pete’s pants.

Pete was anxious.

Regardless of whether he was humiliated or not, if he was discovered to be a boy, these people would definitely take his sister away.

He struggled, but he suddenly heard a childish voice. “Cherry, stop pretending! I’ve lived with you for so long. How could I not recognize you?”

Pete was shocked. How could he have forgotten about Xander?!

This person was in cahoots with this bunch of baddies! He really hated the moment he had softened his heart for Xander! If he wasn’t so soft-hearted, how could he have let this ingrate harm them?

He suddenly turned his head. He had originally thought that Xander had ratted him out, but he did not expect…

Chapter 675: Her Son Had Suffered Too Much!

Pete thought that this was all Xander’s scheme. Just as he was sighing in his heart that he had not dealt with him and had softened his heart, he realized that Xander’s words were actually… directed at him?

He frowned slightly.

Xander had already rushed over. “Alright, hurry up. I saw someone walking over when I was leaving earlier. If we don’t go now, they’ll see us!”

When the two bodyguards heard this, they hurriedly took the cage containing the king crab. Without a word, they drugged Pete and let Xander enter.

Xander could not disobey them and clenched the cage tightly.

He happened to touch Pete. As soon as he touched him, he felt Pete move his leg back.

Xander was stunned and suddenly looked at Pete.

He did not faint?

Of course, Pete would not be drugged again. He had realized that they had brought sleeping pills and had been on guard. When the person came up, he had held his breath.

Now, he moved… Firstly, those people had let him in too uncomfortably and twisted his leg.

Secondly, he wanted to test Xander.

What were Xander’s intentions for suddenly helping him? If he yelled for help right now, he could conclude that Xander was in cahoots with that group of people. He had said those words just now to get rid of him!

After all, hadn’t Xander always said that he wanted to defeat him and become the Hunts’ heir?

If he did not… Then there was probably something else going on.

He held his breath and waited for Xander’s reaction.

He was actually looking forward to it.

Although he did not know what he was expecting…

After a while, he felt Xander sit obediently beside him and squeeze his shoulder.

Although the two of them did not interact for a very long time, Pete understood what Xander meant at this moment. He wanted him to not be impulsive. He would find an opportunity to escape when there were many people.

Pete did not move again.

However, he suddenly felt a little happy.

He quickly planned how to escape in his mind. There were many people in the Hunt's, and the butler had neglected them. In about half an hour, he would definitely notice that they had disappeared.

If anything happened while they left, his father’s bodyguards would definitely notice and save them.

As Pete was thinking, the cage was covered.

Suddenly, one of the bodyguards took out a knife and aimed it at the basket outside Pete. Then, he stabbed the knife forward. Through the covers, he punctured Pete’s skin!

Pete endured the sharp pain and did not move.

The other person asked, “What are you doing?”

The bodyguard said, “This little fellow just tried to save herself by tricking us into kidnapping his brother. It means that she’s not that stupid. I’m afraid that the drug won’t be enough. It’ll be bad if she wakes up midway and yells. Anyway, our mission is to get rid of her. If we’re discovered, we can just kill her and complete the mission!”

When the other person heard this, he nodded. “You’re right.”

Pete: “…”

Xander: “…”

The two children looked at each other and understood the look in each other’s eyes. They could not think about fooling around now.

If the two of them dared to make a scene, Pete would die before anyone could react!

It was all over.

Xander thought to himself that he could only leave the Hunt's for now and think of another way.

Pete sighed silently.

Forget it, he would not struggle. He would just wait patiently for the tyrant and mommy to save him. At most, he would be mocked by the tyrant after he was rescued.

He, the dignified heir of the Hunt's, had actually been kidnapped. This was simply the greatest humiliation of his life!

The two of them hid in the cage and watched helplessly as the two strong bodyguards took them out of the back door.

As they were preparing for a birthday party, the house was very busy.

They had only security measures in the main house to ensure that no one would rush in to harm them. However, no one expected the three little fellows to be so sneaky. They avoided the security guards and ran out themselves!

After leaving the Hunt's, the two bodyguards carried the cage to the car.

Xander and Pete were thrown into the backseat as the car started.

When they were leaving, a black jeep arrived at the gate.

At this moment, the car Xander and Pete were in happened to start slowly. When Nora stopped the car and waited for the door to open, the butler greeted her respectfully. “Miss Smith.”

Nora nodded.

For some reason, she suddenly turned to look at the white Volkswagen and asked, “What is that for?”

The butler said, “It’s for the king crabs.”

Nora raised her brows.

She only felt a little conflicted, but she was concerned about Xander. She did not say anything and drove straight into the Hunts’ villa.

When Justin heard that she was there, he was a little surprised.

He walked out of the room and saw Nora’s anxious expression. She asked, “Where’s Xander?”

When Justin saw her like this, he had a faint guess in his heart and said, “He’s upstairs.”

Nora did not wait for him to say anything else and rushed upstairs.

At this moment, she was a little excited.

She did not know that she had a son other than Pete and had actually wanted to push this son away. In the past few days, when his identity was unknown, Xander had suffered countless grievances!

However, when she rushed upstairs, she realized that the room was empty!

Nora frowned.

At this moment, the butler rushed over. “Sir, something has happened!”

The Hunt's moved quickly. There were cameras in almost every corner. Although there was no one in the back garden, there were cameras.

Every ten minutes, there would be security guards looking at all the cameras.

They realized that Fatty and Cherry were on the ground and instantly became anxious!

It had only been ten minutes since the incident. They had already realized that the child was missing!

When she saw Cherry being carried in by the security guard, Nora quickly took two steps forward and checked her pulse to see if there was anything wrong with the child. Then, she pressed on one of her acupuncture points a few times. Cherry opened her eyes in a daze.

When she saw Nora and Justin, she immediately shouted, “Mommy, Daddy! Go save Pete quickly! Xander wants to kill him. He wants to be the heir to the Hunt's!”

When she said this, Nora’s body trembled.

Brothers fighting each other… Was this a gift from Trueman?!

She stood there and suddenly thought of the car she had seen earlier. Her eyes darkened and she rushed out without a word.

At her speed, she should be able to catch up to that car!!
