Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Do Nothing Guilty, Fear No Ghosts Knocking on the Door
When everyone had left, Baron Lawrence glanced at him and asked, “Did you have someone tail me?”
It wasn’t surprising that he had photos from the news, but he also had candid photos in his possession, which raised questions.
Bobby didn’t seem to be afraid of admitting his actions, saying directly, “Yes, I did.”
Not only did he admit it, but he also confronted him, “If you haven’t done anything wrong, you wouldn’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. If you didn’t cheat, you wouldn’t be afraid of people taking photos!”
Baron Lawrence’s temples throbbed a couple of times. He picked up the photos on the conference table and threw them emotionlessly into the trash can. With his stern eyes that had become more authoritative over the last two years, he looked at the youngster and said seriously, “Sometimes what our eyes see isn’t necessarily the truth. If you can’t even have basic judgment, then you will terribly disappoint me.”
Tobias pursed his lips, feeling wronged, but still stubbornly turned his head away, “I don’t care! You don’t like me, and I don’t like you, so it’s fine if I disappoint you!”
Baron Lawrence had the urge to grab him and give him a good spanking. He took a breath and suppressed the urge, watching the tension in his forehead rise and then subside. Reaching out his hand, he picked up Tobias regardless of Tobias’ resistance, “Tobias, based on your performance today, I will reduce your pocket money starting today!”
When Bobby was suddenly embraced in a steady embrace, his small body stiffened, but the tension his face had held since being scolded earlier relaxed slightly. He muttered under his breath, “Reduce it if you want, I have my own money anyway.”
“Also, I will have Scott Harris keep an eye on you and ban you from using the internet for half a month.” Baron Lawrence was aware of Tobias’ tricks, and emotionlessly issued a second command.
Bobby’s weakness was struck, and he was about to retort.
But a threatening glance had already been thrown towards him by Baron Lawrence, who indifferently added, “If you’re not satisfied, you can choose between having Scott Harris watch you or having a servant monitor your every move 24 hours a day. Choose one.”
Bobby wilted immediately, losing all the bravado he had just displayed. He drooped his head and said in a small voice, “I’ll choose the first one.”
It would be better to have Uncle Harris watching him since he could take advantage of Uncle Harris’ busy times to sneak onto the internet.
If others were watching him, not only would they constantly address him as Young Master, but they would also be incredibly annoying. It would be enough to give him a headache.
As the two were talking, Baron Lawrence’s phone on the table vibrated.
He placed Bobby on the sofa, turned around to pick up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and answered, “Speak!”
“Two months without seeing each other, do you have to be so cold to me?”
“Just talk if you have something to say, and let it out if you have a problem!”
Adam Sinclair relented, getting straight to the point, “Terry Leigh is back from abroad. I’m throwing him a welcome party tonight at the Orchid Club. Be there at seven sharp, no excuses.”
“…” Baron Lawrence was about to refuse.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be able to see his reaction and quickly added, “Don’t say you don’t have time or you’re busy. Terry has been away for two years, and it’s not easy for him to come back. You’d be a lousy friend if you say you’re busy! Besides, we haven’t seen each other for two months since you went on that mission in Country T. We should catch up regardless of Terry’s return.”
