Chapter 246

    Chapter 246


    It’s working! Terrance thought his efforts hadn’t been for nothing when he saw the


    touch of warmth on ric’s face, and he asked excitedly, “Shall we eat something,


    Mr. Cadogan?”


    Lo and behold, ric’s answer came like a wet nket thrown onto him. “Did I say I


    want to eat? Didn’t I tell you not to do anything unnecessary?”


    Terrance was stunned. “Why? Weren’t you just…”


    The hint of warmth in the corner of ric’s eyes had disappeared, and now, he had


    returned to the distant and aloof man he usually was.


    At this point, ric had lost all patience in entertaining his assistant. He recalled the


    words of the two little ones who had wished him well and feltforted.


    Strange, though, that he would be healed by two little strangers through a screen.


    At that, he swiped his phone and rewarded the twins again.


    “Hmm?” Nicole widened her twinkling eyes when she saw the reward notification on


    the phone and said, “You’re here too, Mr. Night?! Hi, Mr. Night! Thank you for your


    reward!”

    The little girl’s cute and childish demeanor was exactly the same as when he met


    her on the ne. However, this ‘Mr. Night‘ was a stranger to her. She didn’t know she


    had seen him on the ne, and she didn’t know he was the same person on the


    live–streaming channel.

    Nathan, who was beside her, scratched his head as he didn’t expect Mr. Night to


    send rewards again. No matter how many times he said it, it didn’t work. Nathan


    could only watch as this person named Silent Night sent wave after wave of


    rewards.


    Wealthy and generous–That was Nathan’s only impression of ‘Silent Night.‘


    Mr. Night would always watch and send them many rewards every time he and


    Nicole did a live stream. So, when Nicole expressed her gratitude, Nathan would


    also follow suit and say, “Thank you for the gift, Mr. Night.”


    Terrance was watching the live stream when he suddenly noticed someone sending


    rewards continuously. The colorful gift notifications kept popping up on the screen,


    and it was then he finally had a moment of epiphany. “Mr. Cadogan, you’re not


    actually Silent Night, are you?”


    Shoot, how much money had he just spent in this one go? Then again, what might


    be a fortune to Terrance was measly to ric. So, there was no reason for Terrance


    Chapter 246 Refuse to Eat


    to care or feel bad for ric at all.


    If anything, he should be worrying about his boss‘ health, and the number one


    priority was to get ric to eat. Hence, Terrance changed the topic without waiting


    for ric to answer him. “Are you really not going to eat, sir? Not even a few bites?


    I’ll have to call Miss Selwyn if you continue to resist.”


    At that, ric stopped whatever he was doing and gazed at Terrance, who was


    rendered stupefied. Is it me, or does Mr. Cadogan look a little excited?


    As such, he pulled his phone out and probed, “I’m going to call her now.”


    ric lifted his brows slightly, showing no signs of stopping the assistant. Alright, I


    see where we’re going with this now. With that, he dialed Victoria’s number.


    Meanwhile, in the kitchen of the Selwyn household, Teresa urged Victoria to leave


    the house chores to her. “Please leave this to me, Miss Selwyn. This is my job.”


    “Don’t worry about it. I’m free right now anyway,” said Victoria as she put the bowls


    into the sterilizer.


    Teresa sighed as she looked at the beautiful and gentledy of the house in front of


    her. Although she had only worked for Victoria for a little over a month, Victoria was

    the best employer she had ever seen.


    Just as Victoria was cleaning up, her phone rang, and Teresa immediately took the


    job over. “Miss Selwyn, your phone is ringing. Let me handle the rest.”


    “Alright.”


    The young woman could only go out and answer the call. “Hello?”


    “Miss Selwyn.”


    The familiar voice caught Victoria off guard. “Mr. Levane?” Why has he called again?


    “I’m sorry for calling at such ate night, Miss Selwyn.”


    Victoria pressed her lips together and asked inly, “What’s up?”


    Terrance was about to speak when ric gestured for him to turn on the speaker.


    Hence, the assistant did as told, stuttering, “Well, Mr. Cadogan, he, um, he still


    refuses to eat. So, can you-”


    “Mr. Levane,” Victoria interjected at once. “Mr. ric Cadogan is a full–grown adult


    who is well capable of deciding whether he should or needs to eat. If he refuses to


    eat, it only means that he knows how his body is doing.”

    With that, she hung up the call.


    B


    Terrance was at a loss for words. He kept his head hung low while holding his


    phone in his hand, ruing the moment. Great, just great… I should have pretended to


    not notice that Boss wanted to put the phone on speaker…


    He didn’t even need to look up to know ric was oozing with grimness.


    “M–Mr. Cadogan…”


    “Get lost.”


    Terrance dared not speak and silently got up, leaving with his phone in hand.


    ric, on the other hand, sat grimly in his bed and exited the live–streaming channel.


    He couldn’t even continue watching the live stream anymore.


    He exited the scream so quickly that he missed the gentle voice of a woman that


    appeared right after he exited the live stream. “Nathan, Nicole, it’s time to end the


    live stream for today.”


    s, if ric had just left TikTok a secondter, he would’ve been able to catch


    Victoria’s voice.

    “Alright, that concludes today’s live stream. Goodbye, everyone.”


    After ending the live stream, Victoria put the phone away and asked, “Have you


    finished your homework today?”


    “Yes, Mommy.”


    Sensing something, Nicole hugged Victoria’s shoulder and asked, “Mommy, did.


    someone call you just now?”


    “Yes.” Victoria nodded after a split second stump.


    “Was it Mr. Bane?”


    “No,” said Victoria and continued after a beat, deciding to exin it clearly to the


    twins. “It was a business partner. He told me a client refusing to eat, but I’ve already


    resolved it.”


    “Refusing to eat?” The kids blinked in response, and Nathan added, “What a


    coincidence, Mommy. There was also a man in the live stream who refused to eat.


    His friendmented to tell us about it.”


    “Oh. What’s the story?” Victoria asked, puzzled.

    With that, the twins rted the event to her, and she couldn’t help sighing, “What a


    coincidence.”

    However, she didn’t dwell on it because Nicole mentioned next how Silent Night had


    sent them a lot of rewards.


    “Alright, I know now.”


    After the two children went to bed, Victoria took out the livestream phone to check


    and indeed found that the person named Silent Night had sent a ton of money


    again.


    She sighed in response. This man sure has money to burn.


    After finding the user, she clicked on their profile. The profile picture was exactly the


    same as their WhatsApp profile picture, without any updates. However, Victoria


    quickly discovered something important–this person’s IP address was in Jasea.
