�Mom, how could you betray your son to win over your grandchildren?� At the moment, Francine could not care less how his son felt. Her first priority was to keep her grandchildren happy.

�Kids, how do you think I should punish my son for doing something bad?�

�That�s simple. When we do something bad, Mommy would give us �the good ol'stick�. After that, we wouldn�t dare to make that mistake anymore. You can take a page out of her book, fairy godmother.� Abby enthusiastically shared her experiences with Francine.

�The good ol�stick?� Francine was confused.

�Here, use this.� Out of nowhere, Adie produced a cane that was as thick as two fingers put together and calmly handed it over to Francine.

�Umm�� Seeing the thick cane, Francine and Stefan could not help but gulp.

�Isn�t this cane a bit too thick?� Francine asked Adie cautiously. Although she had already decided to sell her son out to get in her grandchildren�s good books, she had never beaten Stefan before, and now she had to beat him with such a thick cane? She could not do it.

�It�s not. This is just a normal cane. Mommy said caning is good for building character. The harder you hit, the better the person�s character would turn out. Your son is bullying the weak now because you didn�t cane him enough when he was young.� Adie tried to convince Francine with logic and reasoning.

Francine stared at the thick cane and frowned. She rubbed the little boy�s head and asked, �You mean your Mommy hits you with this a lot?�

�No.� Adie said seriously, �Mommy just uses it to intimidate me. She rarely beats me. She said other people�s children get caned with this, but I don�t because I�m a good boy and I never do anything bad. Unlike your son, who did so many bad things. You should give him a proper beating!�

Stefan: ����

�What a filial son you are, Adie!�

�You�re right. A pampered child is a spoiled child. He turned out like this because I spoiled him. He needs a beating.� Francine took the cane from Adie and walked over to Stefan. She lowered her voice and said, �Brat, cooperate with me to make my grandchildren happy.�

Stefan�s handsome face stiffened. He said coldly, �You�re gonna beat your own son to please your grandchildren? Are you out of your mind?�

�There�s nothing I can do about it. It�s your fault for doing all those bad things. You deserve it.�

�What bad things did I do?�

�You held their Mommy under you and tried to bite her. You�re getting off easy with just a beating.�

Stefan was embarrassed and exasperated. �I know the kids don�t understand what happened, but don�t tell me you don�t. Stop fooling around and just go home!�

�No way! I finally have the grandchildren that I�ve been dreaming of. I�m not leaving them�� Francine approached Stefan and mocked, �You little brat, you always seem as indifferent to women as a monk, but you actually did those things in secret and have even produced two kids. This calls for a celebration! I�ll go home and discuss with your father about holding a grand banquet that lasts three months. We�ll also give everyone in Beach City a reward of $1000 so that everyone can celebrate with us!�

Stefan facepalmed and said, �Mom, I beg you, please go home and give the children and I some space.� He actually did not plan to let Francine know about the children because he was worried that Francine would make a big deal out of it and scare Renee away. JrNovels.com
