Carson heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing unusual about Grace''s expression.


    He said, "Hurry up and cook. Dad hasn''t had lunch yet."


    Grace nced at him. "It''s already one pm. Isn''t it dinner time to make it and send it to the hospital? Don''t worry. You haven''t been back for a long time, so I ordered some food for him. Keep these for dinner."


    In the vi of the Adkins family, Louise walked into the living room with Brian on his arm.


    Ava was talking non-stop about what had happened today in the living room.


    "It''s so irritating! That damn man ckmailed me! He drove a lousy Santana and asked me for 1,000 dors to repair it!"


    Marshall took a sip of coffee and nced at Ava. "You were in the wrong. You didn''t maintain a safe distance, so you can''t me him. You should be d that he drives a Santana. If he drives a luxury car, you won''t be able to bear the consequences."


    Ava was furious. "Am I your daughter? An outsider provoked me! How can you scold me instead?"


    Louise walked into the living room and heard Avaining. She smiled and asked, "Ava, what''s wrong? Who provoked you? Tell me, I''ll stand up for you."


    Ava turned her head to look at Louise. The anger in Ava''s eyes increased as she thought, ''Did I need your help?''


    She wanted to scold Louise for being hypocritical, but considering that Brian was also there, she suppressed her urge in the end. She said impatiently, "I identally rear-ended a car, and the driver took the opportunity to extort money from me."


    Louise asked seriously, "Who is it? How dare he ckmail you in broad daylight? We can sue him. I have a friend who is awyer."


    Ava pouted. "Forget it. It''s only 1,000 dors."


    "It isn''t a matter of money. If you don''t resist after being extorted, he''ll be more presumptuous. Am I right, Brian?"


    Brian nodded. He looked at Ava and said calmly, "Do you know his name? If it''s him extorting you, I can get someone to help you with thewsuit."


    Ava was in a dilemma. She braced herself and said, "His name is Carson Sherman."


    Brian''s heart skipped a beat.


    "What? Carson Sherman? How to spell it?"


    "C-A-R-S-O-N, Carson, and S-H-E-R-M-A-N, Sherman.


    Brian''s eyes widened a little. Carson was Grace''s younger brother!


    Marshall thought Brian indeed nned to help Ava with thewsuit by asking so much. He hurriedly said, "Brian, don''t believe her nonsense. She just told me that she was fully responsible for the ident. The traffic police have dealt with it."


    Brian came back to his senses, looking at Marshall and nodding. "Okay."


    "Have you bought the ring for today''s trip?"


    Louise raised her hand happily. "Yes."Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.

    Marshall was grinning from ear to ear. "Alright! Let''s eat!"


    Louise held Brian''s hand and walked to the dining table with him. She sat opposite Ava, and during the meal, she picked up food for Brian. They looked so intimate, which caused Ava to be jealous.


    Ava put down her fork gloomily. "I''m full!"


    She turned around and went upstairs, her footsteps deliberately loud. Louise took a look. "Is Ava feeling unwell? Should we get a doctor to see her?" Marshall nced at Ava. "Don''t worry about her. It''s all because she''s spoiled." Shannon could not say anything. She ate quickly and went upstairs to see Ava.
