Chapter 1389 - 1329: Investigating Kevin Taylor

"Why not?"

"If a woman loves you because of money, it means that woman has bad character and is vain..." Elliott Wilson explained.

Kevin Taylor scoffed, "Then what does it mean when a man likes women for their looks? Isn’t that vanity in men too?"

Elliott suddenly felt he had a point, thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, that’s true. Men like women for their looks, women like men for their money... doesn’t seem wrong either."

"So, we have to think about how to make money."

Elliott Wilson: ...

...

The Johnson Family gathered around for dinner, it had gotten colder outside, but the indoor heating was very warm, Adrian Desmond was wearing a black short-sleeved t-shirt; seeing him made it feel like summer.

"I have an announcement to make." Curly suddenly said.

Everyone looked at Curly, waiting for her to speak.

Curly solemnly said, "Mom, I’m on winter break now, I’ve finished most of my homework, I want to work at your company."

"Why do you want to work at my company?" Sienna Johnson couldn’t understand Curly’s motives.

"To make money!"

Adrian Desmond generously said, "Short of money? How much do you need, Daddy will give it to you."

Curly shook her head, "I think I should start training myself from a young age. If I wait until I’m older to learn how to do business, it’ll be too late."

Sienna Johnson refused, "It’s illegal to hire child laborers. Mom doesn’t want to be called to the Police Station to have a chat with Uncle police officer."

"I’ve thought about it, officially I’ll just say I’m going to play at your company. You’re my mom, I’m going to find you to play, and no one can say anything."

"..."

"Mom, please let me go. I beg you, it’s so boring at home." Curly pleaded.

"There are so many people at home to play with you, and you’re still bored?"

"I don’t want to play, I want to do something meaningful."

Adrian Desmond said, "If she wants to go, then let her go."

Paige Desmond also said, "Perfect timing, I don’t know anything either, we can learn together."

"Okay." Curly laughed.

Sienna Johnson hadn’t agreed yet, but everyone had already decided for her. Watching her daughter, Sienna thought, if she wants to play, then let her play.

Pauline Briggs, with a soft heart, thought about the child at the door and said, "Today’s weather forecast predicts lower temperatures, it’s snowing now, that kid named Kevin Taylor, will he be alright outside?"

Sienna Johnson said, "Old Master Taylor said his grandson is robust, he won’t be harmed by the cold." Although she said this, her heart couldn’t help but worry.

Curly interjected, "Does he want to be our family’s live-in son-in-law?"

Sienna Johnson stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth and said, "Eat your food."

Sienna glanced at Adrian Desmond, whose expression remained unchanged as he silently ate his meal. Pauline Briggs saw neither her daughter nor son-in-law planned to intervene, so she stopped talking.

...

After dinner, they chatted for a while before everyone returned to their rooms.

Samara is taking college entrance exams this year and only had five days off for Lunar New Year. Samara is completely unbothered, stays home, doesn’t review her lessons but helps take care of the kids instead, driving Sienna Johnson nuts.

"...I know you’re good at studying, but you need to work hard... count how many months left until your exams? Can’t you just study like mad for a few months?" Sienna Johnson reprimanded her.

Samara stood good-naturedly as Sienna lectured her, unflustered, making Sienna feel like striking a fist into cotton.

"Did you hear what I said?"

"Yes."

"The twins have the Nanny, you don’t need to take care of them. From now, just go back and review your lessons."

Samara said, "I’m already tired from school, holidays are for resting, and with only five days off, I can’t learn much."

Seeing Sienna not reply, she thought she was angry, so she conceded and said, "Alright, alright, I’ll go review my lessons. Don’t be mad."

"You’re studying for yourself, not for me, do you understand?"

"Got it." Samara’s voice was gentle, and Sienna didn’t dare speak harshly to her.

"Try your best to study, even if you don’t do well, it’s okay, just don’t pressure yourself too much." Considering her sister’s fragile nature, Sienna couldn’t help but worry about her.

Worrying that she couldn’t handle it if she didn’t do well.

"Mm."

Adrian Desmond walked in, seeing Sienna scolding Samara, said, "You are you, Samara is Samara, you can’t expect everyone to be as excellent as you."

Sienna is an academic ace, although Samara’s grades are decent, she’s still quite behind Sienna.

"Brother-in-law, now that you’re here, I’ll head off." Samara, seeing Adrian Desmond arrive, took the opportunity to slip away.

Sienna said, "I’m just worried about her indifferent attitude, the college entrance exams are a huge hurdle for many students in Orienta, and she’s not worried at all."

"Samara is relaxed, isn’t that good?"

"Let her be, I can’t manage her anymore."

Adrian Desmond handed a file to Sienna Johnson, who took it and asked, "What is this?"

"About Kevin Taylor."

"You had someone investigate him."

"Yes."

Sienna Johnson opened the envelope and examined Kevin Taylor’s background.

Kevin’s parents were both soldiers, so many details are highly confidential; Adrian couldn’t find much.

Kevin was born on the battlefield, and since birth, he traveled globally with his parents. After their death, he was left in the military by Old Master Taylor to train with soldiers.

After reading, Sienna remarked, "This grandfather is truly unreliable... How can he let a child stay with the troops."

"Because it’s safest in the military."

"Is someone trying to kill Kevin?" Sienna asked sharply.

Adrian Desmond laughed, "You’re really smart, guessed it right away."

"Tell me, what’s going on?"

"Kevin’s parents’ specific cause of death is a military secret, I couldn’t uncover it, but I found that Kevin was indeed pursued until a year ago, Kevin was safe."

Old Master Taylor only released Kevin from the military then."

"..."

"I suspect Kevin’s parents offended powerful people, causing Kevin to be hunted."

"Sigh..." Sienna sighed, feeling this child was also a child of misfortune.

"Adrian, how do you plan to handle Kevin’s situation?"

"Do you want him as your son-in-law?"

Sienna looked at him in surprise, "Claire is so young, I don’t need to consider this right now. Besides, I don’t intend to interfere with Claire’s emotions, that’s not something I can decide."

"..."

"Adrian, what exactly do you mean?"

"I’m worried that boy has taken a liking to Claire and won’t let go."

Sienna said, "He’s only five, maybe he’ll forget when he grows up."
