Chapter 784


    In the end, Beanie was convinced by Minerva.


    In a sense, he had no other choice either. After all, he did not dare to go against Minerva''s words


    since she already disagreed.


    After hanging up, Beanie held his cell phone and sat there unhappily as if he had been wronged.


    When Vera came in and saw this scene, she walked towards him, feeling much amused. She


    couldn''t help but tease him.


    "What happened? You look like you''ve been bullied."


    Beanie snorted and turned around. He ignored her.


    "Let me guess," Vera smiled. She skirted her way towards him and ced her hand on his shoulder,


    chiming, "You called your mom secretly, only to have her reject you again?"


    "Auntie Vera, you are a meanie," Beanie red at Vera angrily.


    Seeing him like this, Vera couldn''t help but burst intoughter. After she finishedughing heartily,


    she helped herself by pinching his pouted cheeks.


    "Alright, your Auntie Vera here is a nicedy. Isn''t it going to be the holidays soon? I''m guessing


    your mommy is going to bring your daddy home once she''s got everything settled there."


    However, Beanie was still unsatisfied and whined, "I don''t believe you. Mommy seems to have


    made no progress recently. If it goes on like this, I''m going to be left all alone. Auntie Vera, can you


    help me?"


    "What?" Vera was stunned.


    "Promise me, if mommy hasn''t brought daddy back during the holidays, well go meet her together,


    okay?" He pleaded.


    Towards the end of his sentence, Beanie sounded excited, his eyes glowing like the hopeful stars in


    the night sky.


    "Well..." Vera felt embarrassed suddenly and bit her lower lip. She stammered, "This... this is not a


    very good idea, right? If your mommy doesn''t agree by then and I bring you over, your mommy will


    be angry with Auntie Vera."


    "Auntie Vera," Beanie''s gaze immediately turned cold and deste as he pleaded, "I''ve lent a hand


    to you when you asked me to help you with your rtionship with uncle previously... I''ve helped you


    so much, but now you''re not even willing to help me with such a small request."


    With that, Beanie cupped his cheek and cried crocodile tears, "I''m so sad."


    Vera was lost for words.


    She clearly knew that this little fellow was putting on a show in front of her, but she couldn''t help but


    think that he was pitifully adorable. What could she do?

    Vera coughed heavily and then smiled, "Don''t be like this, Beanie. Do you know that it is a


    challenging request for me? Moreover, this matter is not on the same level as Auntie Vera''s, so you


    should not make things difficult for me."


    Upon finishing her words, Vera turned around and intended to escape.


    It would be toote if she didn''t leave now. She would be finished if Beanie managed to trap her into


    doing something dangerous.


    "If you leave, I won''t help you anymore," Beanie looked at her fleeing figure and threatened her as


    usual.


    Vera stopped in her tracks abruptly as she turned around to peek at Beanie.


    The little brat had sat there with a dejected face just moments ago, but what about now?


    He looked calm andposed, his eyes were full of confidence.


    Vera wanted to scream.


    Beanie was just a child. Why could he have such an expression on?


    Could he still be mistaken as an ordinary child?


    No!


    Vera tried exining things to herself mentally.


    Beanie was not an ordinary child. He was the son of Maddox Yardley of the Yardley Corporation in


    North City. Beanie had definitely inherited all his genes.


    Wait, instead... It should be described that with that level of intelligence at his age, he probably


    alreadypletely surpassed his parents.


    Thinking of this, Vera was secretly shocked.


    If Beanie was already this smart, who knew how gically outstanding the second child in


    Minerva''s womb would be.


    "Beanie, you have to understand, it''s not that Auntie Vera doesn''t agree to help you, but it''s your


    mommy''s idea... Your mommy also told you on the phone, right? She didn''t agree to you going over


    because she had her own ns. If we disobeyed her and insisted on going over, she might ignore


    us and abandon us on the streets! Do you really want to live on the streets together? We''ll be


    extremely miserable then..."


    Listening to Vera''s persuasion, Beanie blinked and grabbed his phone, suggesting, "Let''s book a


    hotel by ourselves at that time. Auntie Vera, are you dumb?"


    Vera fell silent.


    "Don''t worry. If mommy is mad then, you can tell her that I was the one who forced you. I''ll bear all


    the responsibilities then," Beanie was still adamant on leaving.


    "This isn''t the problem here, it''s just that..." Vera was conflicted.


    Beanie immediately resorted to bribing his Aunt Vera, "In exchange, I can help you take photos of


    uncle''s half-nudes."


    "Wait, what?" Vera felt as if she had heard something strange. His... his half nudes?


    As soon as she thought about it, Quill''s exposed body appeared in Vera''s mind. His strong chest


    and buff abdominal muscles...


    Gulp.


    She couldn''t continue picturing it. Vera quickly swatted the thought out of her mind. She waved her


    hand and refused, "No, you can''t do anything about it. Don''t try to tempt me."


    Beanie blinked and enticed her, "Auntie Vera, are you sure you don''t want to see it? Uncle''s abs are


    great. I have seen many pictures on the Inte, and none of them are as buff as my uncle''s.


    Auntie Vera... If you miss this opportunity, there


    will be no next time."


    After that, Beanie jumped off the chair and slowly walked away, his mobile phone in his hand.


    Vera looked at Beanie''s back and thought about Quill''s abdominal muscles. She cried out.


    If she missed this opportunity, there would be no next time.


    Minerva, oh dear...


    It''ll be fine if she sacrificed Minerva just to see Quill''s muscles, right?


    "Wait!" Vera stopped Beanie and answered hastily, "It-it''s a deal!"


    Beanie turned around and smirked, "Are you sure, Auntie Vera? Will you really take me to see


    Mommy during the holidays?"


    Vera nodded wholeheartedly.


    "Yes, but about your promise to me just now..."


    "Auntie Vera, don''t worry," Beanie ran over with a giggle, "As long as Auntie Vera you keep your end


    of the deal, I''ll make sure to get that half-nude photo of uncle''s for you. It''s a promise!"


    Vera thought she was about to have a nosebleed upon the thought of Quill''s body.


    She covered her nose quickly and shook her head hard.


    She couldn''t think about it anymore. Else, she''d have a nosebleed...


    However, Vera never thought she''d be tempted by such superficial things. She had been easily


    swayed, and now... she had no chance to turn back time and regret her actions.


    The only thing she could do was pray that Minerva didn''t me her!
