Chapter 227


    Ian said with a serious expression: "If we tell Grandma, she won''t let us go look for our mom."


    Rita was a bit torn: "Then let''s just go find Mom! What if that jerk dad is bullying her?"


    Ian quickly thought and made a decision: "I''ll go alone, you stay at home. If Grandmaes back, just


    make up an excuse."


    With that, Ian went out alone.

    Watching the door close, Rita burst into tears.


    How could she let her brother go find that jerk dad alone?


    What if her brother got caught by the jerk dad?


    She can''t lose her brother!


    Crying, she ran to knock on Mike''s door.


    After opening the door, she ran to the messy bed, grabbed Mike''s arm, and cried her eyes out: "Uncle


    Mike, wake up! My brother''s gone! He left alone... he didn''t take me with him..."


    The Bourne family.


    A servant came out of the kitchen, puzzled: "Why is there a power outage?"


    "We didn''t receive any notice. I''ll turn on the backup power," Lacey said.


    After the backup power was connected, everything returned to normal.


    About ten minutester, the backup power also stopped.


    Elijah came down the stairs quickly, and Lacey immediately reported the situation to him: "There''s a


    power outage at home. The backup power has also failed. I''ve called someone to fix it. But I called the


    powerpany, and they said there''s no power outage in our area."


    Elijah didn''t say anything


    ; he just walked towards the door.


    A bodyguard came over.


    "Boss, today''s power outage is a bit strange. I''ve already dispatched more people toe."


    Elijah nodded and continued to walk towards the gate.


    The bodyguard didn''t know what he was going to do and just followed him.


    Outside the gate, Elijah pointed to a small figure not far away and ordered the bodyguard: "Go catch


    him."


    The bodyguard had already noticed Ian, but since he was such a small child, he didn''t pay much


    attention.


    "Boss, do you mean to catch that little boy?" the bodyguard asked puzzledly.


    Ian heard their voices, but instead of running away, he walked over on his own.


    Elijah coldly looked at the child.


    Although he had changed his clothes and hat, his brim still covering his face, making it hard to see his


    features clearly, Elijah recognized him at a nce.


    The power outage today was definitely his doing


    ; the house''swork must have been hacked by him too.


    And he came here for Violette.


    Ian quickly came to them.


    As he passed Elijah, Ian identally stepped on Elijah''s foot.


    Elijah was speechless.


    The bodyguard looked at Ian in shock as he entered the vi nonchntly. He immediately crouched


    down to wipe the dust off Elijah''s slipper.


    "Boss, this kid is really ill-mannered! He looks like a child with no one to discipline him!" the bodyguard


    angrily said, "Maybe he''s an orphan! Don''t bother with him, I''ll go drive him away right now."


    Elijah coldly said: "You guessed right, he is indeed an orphan."


    With that, he strode into the yard.


    Ian had already entered the living room, and several servants curiously looked at him.


    Ian shouted loudly in the direction of the staircase: "Violette! I''m here to see you!"


    Lacey quickly remembered him.


    "You''re Ian, right?" Lacey crouched down. After she confirmed it was him, she immediately pulled him


    to sit on the sofa, "Your mom is still sleeping! She''lle down when she wakes up."


    Elijah walked into the living room and saw Lacey piling fruits and snacks in front of Ian like she was


    serving a guest.


    Elijah reached out with his long arm, grabbed his backpack, and took out a notebook: "Did you stop my


    house''s power?! Restore it right now! Or else..."


    Hearing this, Ian raised his head and looked at him challengingly.


    Elijah stared at his face, suddenly froze, and his heart skipped a beat!
