Alex’s eyes gradually turned cold. He held Amelia’s hand and massaged her gently with his well-defined fingers. Then, he asked, “And then?”
The Burton family members were shocked and instinctively wanted to explain. However, Alex’s cold gaze scared them so much that they couldn’t say a word.
Amelia continued, “Then, the Grandma from the Burton family asked Mia to apologize to Uncle butler. If I don’t apologize, she won’t let us leave.”
Alex asked, “Did you apologize?
Amelia: “Apologize my ass.”
The coldness in Alex’s eyes dissipated, and he revealed a smile. ‘Yes, not bad.” He knew everything that happened after that. The mission given by the leader was indeed a little difficult this time. He returned to Buffalo more than an hour later than he had expected. He got off the plane and quickly drove over. He was wondering if Mia had arrived at the Burton residence, so he casually checked the surveillance cameras of the Burton family. In the end, he happened to see the Burton family stopping Mia and wanting to teach his daughter a lesson for him.
Seeing Alex’s cold aura, the Old Madam of the Burton family hurriedly said, “Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. We didn’t know either… It’s all the butler’s fault!”
Alex sneered. “Oh? It’s all a misunderstanding? Aren’t you the one who said that you wanted to teach my daughter a lesson?
Old Madam Burton’s face stiffened. “I-I didn’t mean that…” She felt so aggrieved. She was clearly an elder, but she had to be subservient to a junior.
The Burton family’s Old Master glared at the Burton family’s Old Madam and pretended to be angry. “Look at the muddle-headed thing you did. You came to a conclusion without understanding!”
The Old Madam of the Burton family: “Yes, yes, yes. It’s all my fault.”
The Old Master of the Burton family looked at Alex with a smile. “Alex, your
Grandma is just old and muddle-headed. Don’t lower yourself to her level…”
Alex looked down from above with an extremely cold gaze. “Who are you trying to fool?”
The Old Madam of the Burton family held her breath and apologized in front of everyone. “I’m sorry. I was wrong.”
Alex sneered, then looked down at Amelia. “How is it? Are you satisfied?” His tone was as if he would make them apologize again until Amelia was satisfied.
The Burton family looked at Amelia nervously. Fortunately, Amelia nodded and said, “Yes, yes, but Mia doesn’t want to forgive them. I don’t want to tell them it’s okay.”
Alex smiled. “Okay, then we won’t forgive them. You don’t have to say it’s okay.”
The Old Madam of the Burton family heaved a sigh of relief and immediately changed the topic. “Mia is really a kind little girl. Look at you. Your father is Alex. Why didn’t you say so earlier? If you had said so earlier, Great-Grandma wouldn’t have done such a foolish thing!” She had already started to call herself Amelia’s Great-Grandma.
The Burton family’s Old Master also said enthusiastically, “Look, this is really friendly fire. We’re family.” The contempt they had for Amelia had disappeared. All of them were humble and fawning.
The old lady from the Burton family smiled and reached out to Amelia. “Aiyo,
Great-Grandma’s darling. Come over and let Great-Grandma hug you.”
The Old Master of the Burton family also sighed. “In the blink of an eye, our Burton family has such a great-granddaughter. Our family has four generations together. What a blessing.” They smiled warmly at Amelia, wishing that she would quickly call them great-grandpa and great-grandma. This way, everything that happened tonight would be in the past. They would still be a harmonious family!
Unfortunately, Amelia did not even look at them. She snorted and turned her head. “Mia doesn’t have great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers like you.”
Amelia counted with her fingers. Grandpa Glen had said that Michael Burton’s grandson was called Alex Burton, and Alex Burton was her father. Her father’s father was called her grandfather, and her father’s grandfather was her great-grandfather. Therefore, her great-grandfather should be Michael Burton.
“My great-grandpa and great-grandma are already dead,” Amelia said. “I have nothing to do with you.” That day, Grandpa Glen had said that her great-grandpa, Michael Burton, had been retaliated by bad people because his identity as an undercover agent had been exposed. Her great-grandpa and great-grandma were gone, including her grandparents. Her father had only survived because he had dodge the bullet.
The expressions of the Old Master and Old Madam of the Burton family stiffened slightly. They smiled awkwardly and said, “Your great-grandfather is my elder brother, so I’m also your great-grandfather.”
Amelia looked at Alex in confusion. Alex looked down at her and explained, “Your great-grandfather is the only son in the family. He doesn’t have any siblings.”
Amelia was enlightened.. “So they’re fakes?”
