Abby blinked her large, watery eyes. She had given up fighting.

She could not help it. Whenever her mother called the siblings by their full names, it meant she was indeed furious. If she did not behave, the consequences would only prove too severe to handle.

�Im sorry, Adie. I�ve got to betray you for the time being so Mommy won�t be angry�� she thought.

Renee�s serious face softened slightly before she said gently, �Good girl, Abby. Tell me what happened. Where is Adie now?�

�Mommy, promise me one thing: You can�t get mad at Adie and me if I tell you.�

Abby was smart, so she negotiated a term with Renee first.

�Don�t worry. I won�t get mad.�

Renee tried her best to force a bright smile. However, she had long clenched her fists into tight balls.

She exclaimed inwardly, �Humph! I�ll teach them a hard lesson if they dare to act recklessly!�

�Mommy, it�s like this. Adie was very worried that you�d get bullied by bad guys after you went to Beach City, so he came up with a way to protect you� He successfully came up with the plan a few days ago, and he�s now in Beach City.�

Abby told Renee the ins and outs of the whole incident with very clear logic.

Adie was her superhero. The plan he designed to protect their mother was no mean feat-it was a perfectly sound and operational plan that was scientifically viable.

If Margaret did not realize that Adie went missing that day and subsequently exposed their plans, she would have given it her full support.

�What? Did Adie� come to Beach City?�

After Renee listened to Abby�s description, she had a headache. She immediately pinched the spot above her lips, afraid she might faint from the wave of anger that washed over her.

Those two children were so bold!

�Abigail Everheart, just you� wait and see. I�ll take your brother home. I think it�s been too long since I taught you guys a hard lesson. You have become so bold and fearless!�

Renee was so angry that she lost her rationality. She then clenched her fists in front of the phone and cracked her knuckles.

Abby blinked her large, round eyes. She looked naive and innocent.� Mommy, didn�t you promise you wouldn�t get mad? Your nose will grow longer if you lie, and you�ll age faster too. If you want to teach us a lesson, you�d better hit Adie. I�ll lend you a ruler.�

�You didn�t tell me what you know, and you tried to hide it from me. Of course, you guys deserve a beating!� JrNovels.com
