“How’s everything going?” Mr. Shively was getting extremely anxious, as the police hadn’t contacted him. The situation was crystal clear; Edward took Matt to Switzerland without Mr. Shively’s consent, kidnapping him. Unable to contain himself, Mr. Shively contacted the police, hoping for a swift resolution.The police officer on the other end of the line felt uneasy upon receiving Mr. Shively’s call. He didn’t know how to address the situation standing between two of the most powerful figures in the city.“Uh, we are still investigating this matter,” the police officer replied cautiously.“Investigating?” Mr. Shively furrowed his brows slightly. Everything seemed quite clear to him; Edward, without a doubt, had kidnapped Matt. “Well... there are some unclear aspects to this case. Edward is influential in the city, and we don’t want to act recklessly.”“What about my son, Matt?” Mr. Shively angrily shouted into the phone, tossing a vase on the ground. His face was now as red as a roost
The two boys were of course extremely excited about Edward's proposal. Both Cipher and Matt are only thirteen years old, after all, it's normal to want to play." Really? I also really like skiing!” Matt raised his head and looked at Edward. Skiing was one of his favorite sports. Just now he was about to tell Edward that he wanted to go skiing, but Edward was the one who spoke first.Edward had already guessed Matt's attitude. Since starting this plan, he has thoroughly investigated Matt's interests and strengths. The boy is also considered a "little athlete" in skiing. Every year Mr. and Mrs. Shively take Matt to luxurious ski resorts of the aristocracy for the boy to practice and show off his talent. But Edward knows that anyone who is good at any field will definitely love that field, Matt is no exception. When he came here, he also noticed a slightly "longing" look in his eyes when looking at the ski field over there.“Yes, such beautiful terrain without skiing would be such a was
“Matt!” Cipher exclaimed in fear. This was the first time the boy had encountered such a situation, and he didn’t know how to snowboard. He couldn’t catch up with his friend.Matt’s situation was becoming increasingly dire. If things continued, the boy would throw himself down the snowy slope, and by then, his tiny body would collide with various obstacles below. Surely, he wouldn’t survive!Harry stood next to Edward, his face pale. He stood still, paralyzed by the terrifying scene in front of him.“No!” Harry snapped out of his shock. He slid down on his snowboard towards Matt. Only he could save Matt now. Neither Edward nor Cipher knew how to snowboard; the only hope rested on Harry.When Harry was just a few steps away from Matt, a lightning-fast figure came from behind, even faster than Harry’s snowboarding speed. The person didn’t utter a word, but shoved Harry aside and headed straight for Matt. The familiar yet terrifying figure that pushed Harry aside was none other than Edwa
“Back then, it was you who prepared the snowboarding equipment for everyone. Then, Matt’s snowboard had issues. Was that just a coincidence? I don’t think so. There’s no coincidence here! You tampered with Matt’s snowboard, didn’t you? You knew Matt would definitely choose that green snowboard, and if he didn’t choose it willingly, you had a way to make him pick it. Am I right?”Edward, upon hearing this, chuckled lightly. His friend was indeed intelligent! Finally, Harry had figured it out. However, Edward had no intention of hiding anything.“Yes, that’s right. It was all part of my plan.” Edward admitted without hesitation. Everything Harry said was correct. He had manipulated Matt’s snowboard, carefully calculating which board Matt would choose. And if Matt didn’t choose it willingly, Edward had a trick to ensure he picked that specific one.“What do you want? You keep lying. You know how to snowboard, and you’re quite skilled at it. When Matt lost his balance, I had moved forward
Edward was really angry, he had been tired of finding excuses to lie to Harry over the past time. In fact, Edward liked working with McKay more than with Harry because McKay never asked much about his business, he was much more professional than Harry. To put it bluntly, if Mckay wasn't Mr. Benson's person, Edward wouldn't have needed Harry to work for him.“I said it clearly, if you can do it then do it, if not then stop, I won't force you.”When Harry heard that, he just remained silent. Since Edward said that, he couldn't say anything more, he couldn't say anything.Edward didn't care about Harry's faint face, he directly took out his phone and called the local police. If Harry doesn't do it, he can do it himself. These things aren't difficult or time-consuming. He also didn't believe that if he didn't work for him, Harry could get a job with a higher income. In difficult economic times, it is difficult to find a job, let alone a high-paying one, where to find one.“Hello, I want t
“But...” Cipher still resisted. The boy’s eyes were filled with pleading. Just then, Matt suddenly rushed in and hugged Edward tightly.This action surprised Edward immensely. He stood still for a few seconds, then quickly realized what was happening and broke into a smile. Deep down, he felt he had secured 80% of victory in this chess game.“Edward, thank you so much. Until now, you’ve been the only one brave enough to stand by me like this. I consider you not just a blood brother but more than that, a family, a dear friend. In short, I want to be with you for the rest of my life.”Moved by the sincere words of the child, Edward felt a twinge of emotion, but above all, he believed that what he invested was not in vain.Edward patted Matt’s back and said, “Alright, I consider you my little brother too. Don’t worry; I’ll recover quickly to take you both to even more places. This injury is nothing serious.”At this moment, he felt warm drops of water on his arm. Was Matt crying? Edward
Vvvv. Mr. Shively saw that the person lying on the bed was Edward and was extremely surprised. Before coming here, he had mentally prepared himself to face the fact that his son was lying in a hospital bed. But now, the things that caught his eye were the complete opposite of what he had imagined. Matt was nowhere to be seen, the only thing he saw was Edward lying there, he didn't know how many needles he had in his hand, and there was also an infusion bottle next to him.“Sorry for not being able to welcome you. My body is not very comfortable right now, please understand.” Edward looked at Mr. Shively, his face a little tired.“Ah, nothing. You just rest.” Mr. Shively finished speaking and sat down on the sofa opposite Edward's hospital bed. His attitude at this time was completely different from the attitude on the phone, Mr. Shively was both gentle and polite. Maybe this is the instinct of someone who has been doing business for more than twenty years of his life, someone who hol
“Yeah, if I’m not mistaken, on the other side are Mr. and Mrs. Shively,” Miracle nodded gently. Earlier, he had seen Mr. and Mrs. Shively entering Edward’s room.“Really? Are they really my parents?” Matt looked at Miracle with wide eyes. Although he was quite sturdy, the thirteen-year-old boy still wanted to confirm. Enjoying the trip to Switzerland didn’t mean Matt forgot about his parents. After all, he was just a thirteen-year-old boy.“Yeah, I saw your parents entering there. It seems like they are discussing something with Edward.”Upon hearing this, Matt became ecstatic, jumping up and down. This meant that by rushing to the next room, he could not only meet Edward but also his parents. He liked and missed all of them dearly.“Okay, Uncle Miracle, you stay here with Cipher. I’ll go to Edward’s room for a while!”Without waiting for Miracle’s response, Matt rushed out of the room, running straight to Edward’s room.On this side, Edward had successfully irritated the Shively coup
