    Chapter 1176 Birthday (1) Laird Gets Angry


    Little Bunny followed Theodore back to Kensbury City on Saturday. Since she divorced Theodore, she


    rarely came back because of her dislike for Theodore, which also made her distant from Nichs.


    When she saw Nichs at home, Little Bunny felt guilty. She shouldn''t have burdened an innocent


    child with adult problems. Besides, she was now determined to be with Theodore and nned to spend

    more time with Nichs.


    Nichs was happy to see his mother and quickly started ying with Little Bunny. Theodore watched


    their interaction and wondered how foolish he had been in the past not to cherish such a happy time.


    He left Little Bunny and Nichs at home while he went out and messed around. Now, he regretted it


    deeply.


    "Theodore,e with me to the study." Laird said sternly after greeting Little Bunny.


    Theodore followed Laird into his study as the door closed behind them. Laird''s face became even


    colder as he asked directly, "Are you handling Addison''s case?"


    Theodore was surprised by this direct question since no one else should know about it except for him


    due to his father''s involvement in the matter before. However, since Addison had been released without


    charge despite evidence of drug use being present, someone must have tampered with it, most likely


    Theodore himself under scrutiny from others'' eyes.


    Laird knew immediately that something was wrong when Theodore remained silent. Then he mmed


    his hand on the desk loudly enough that scared Theodore.


    "Do you have any sense of propriety? Our family is supposed to assist the Wells family in stabilizing


    their reign over our country. We are here not just for ourselves but also for our nation! You are abusing


    your power!" Laird scolded him.


    Laird''s anger scared Theodore. However, there was nothing else left but listening quietly as his father


    scolded him harshly.


    "Turn yourself in!"


    There were no gentle words or tones used by Laird when ordering his son what needed doing next.


    "Whatever thew decides, that''s how it should be decided." Laird said bluntly, showing no tolerance


    whatsoever.


    Theodore couldn''t help but speak up. "Dad, I know I was wrong in this matter and I know I abused my


    power. I was hesitant about what to do but in order to satisfy Little Bunny, I chose to do it. One reason


    is because I admit that I wanted her and used these despicable means to get her. The second reason


    is because Addison did use drugs for the first time and ording to Northfield''sws, first-time


    offenders are usually punished lightly. Although it may be a light punishment for an ordinary person, it


    has a huge impact on him as an artist, and he paid too high a price for it. After thinking about it


    carefully, I gave Addison a chance."


    "That''s still breaking thew!" Laird didn''t listen to Theodore''s exnation at all.


    "I know you might think that what I''m going to say next is me threatening you before you make me turn


    myself in but before you do that, let me exin some things to you. First of all, right now Oscar trusts


    me the most and sees me as someone who can really help him maintain his position of power; if


    something happens to me then Oscar loses his right-hand man, which would not only hurt him


    personally but also go against our family mission of supporting the Wells family. Secondly, if you make


    me turn myself in then Oscar will find out beforehand. Once he knows he might choose not stand by.


    That would put him in an impossible situation, where he cannot handle things fairly or justly as a leader


    should be able too." Theodore spoke quickly with clear logic.


    In fact, he had never been simple-minded. It was just that there were two extremely clever people


    around him so he rarely had any need for deep thought himself. Whenever he seriously considered


    something or did something carefully there were never any mistakes made. Today each point Theodore


    made hit Laird where it hurt most.


    Laird looked fiercely at him, unable even uttering one word at this moment, since Theodore had backed


    him into such a corner with his words alone. He could not allow his son''s wrongdoing go unpunished.


    But because of Theodore''s words just now, he was left no way to refute him.


    "Dad, I admit that I did wrong in this matter. Besides turning myself in, I am willing to ept any


    punishment."


    After all, if he turned himself in, Addison would be exposed again. His career in entertainment had


    "Punishment? How do you think I should punish?" Laird asked coldly.


    "I am willing to be governed by thews of the family." Theodore said, and then suddenly knelt down on


    the ground.


    Since there was no way to force Theodore to surrender himself, he would follow the family rules. Then


    Laird got up and picked up an iron whip in the study.


    Theodore gritted his teeth. Though he had made many mistakes from childhood to adulthood, he had


    rarely been beat by this iron whip. But he knew how much pain there would be in the end.


    Just as Laird raised the whip, he said, "Today is my birthday, the guests wille to my houseter. If


    you are covered in bruises, it would be aughingstock and difficult to exin to others. Let''s talk about


    it after today."


    Theodore nodded, knowing that his father would never give up on this matter.


    "Write amitment letter first." Lairdmanded.


    Theodore looked at him.


    "If you make the same mistake again, I will no longer consider your so-called three points and will


    report your criminal activities to the official authorities for strict punishment!"


    "Okay," Theodore said without hesitation.


    He would never do such a thing again in the future. His self-esteem, conscience and faith did not allow


    him to do so.


    Theodore wrote a well-crafted pledge. After Laird was settled, Theodore left the study.


    At this moment, there was a cheerful sound in the hall. Without doubt, Susan arrived here.


    It was still early. Susan watched as Theodore follow behind Laird with a gloomy expression. She


    smirked and said, "Did Mr Wold beat you up again, Theodore?"


    Theodore nced at her.


    "She usually looks silly, but sometimes she has surprisingly sharp eyes!" Theodore thought to himself.


    It seemed like nothing could be hidden from Susan.
