A Cue For Happiness Chapter 154

Chapter 154

Kenneth valued Sophia and Franklin.

Although he pampered them, he would never allow them to behave nastily.

He had handed the Bowers family to Samuel, so he knew Samuel would hand it down to the twins inthe future.

Hence, he could not let the two children get away with such arrogant behavior.

“As long as both of you apologize and admit that you’re wrong…” Kenneth trailed off. Nevertheless, hisvoice remained stern as he continued, “I’ll be lenient in meting out your punishment. What I want to seeis to admit your mistake.”

However, the two children didn’t even take a second glance at each other.

They knew very well that all they needed to do was apologize, and their great-grandfather would notpunish them.

Even so, they shook their heads simultaneously as if they had a telepathic connection.

At once, Kenneth’s blood pressure surged. He raised his voice and scolded, “You… What do you meanby shaking your heads?”.

Franklin had a look of determination on his face as he stated, “I didn’t do anything wrong, so I’m notgoing to apologize to that woman.”

“Franklin didn’t do anything wrong,” Sophia chimed in.

On the other hand, Yara did not expect the twins to be so stubborn.

What people say is true indeed! Someone else’s kids would never become my own. How dare theyteam up to bully me and still refuse to repent!

Yara scoffed internally. Since they’re not my kids, they deserve to be punished.

“Grandpa, they are still young…” she muttered, fanning the flames. “Please don’t take it to heart. Theywill understand by the time they grow up. I know that no one in this family acknowledges me, and noone likes me. Maybe I’m the crux of the problem!”

“I’m glad you know that,” Franklin retorted. “Don’t ever appear in front of Sophia and me. We hate itwhenever we see you!”

I detest all these! Why is our mommy like this? What a joke!

When Kenneth heard how blatant Franklin was with his words, he had no reason to persuade himselfnot to punish them.

“How defiant! Since your dad doesn’t have the time to discipline you, I will do it for him personally!”Kenneth yelled with a stern look on his face. “Gavin, hand me the cane.”

Instantly, a look of worry crossed Gavin’s face. “Old Mr. Bowers… Please don’t do this!”

“I said, hand me the cane! Did you hear me?” Kenneth barked, glowering at Gavin. They became sodefiant because they’ve never been disciplined before! Are you questioning my command?

Although Gavin felt concerned for the two children, he could not do anything to help. After all, he wasonly a housekeeper. Trembling, he went to bring the cane.

“Old Mr. Bowers, please think twice! Both of them are still so young…” Gavin muttered.

On the contrary, Yara merely sat on the couch without a word.

Holding the cane in his hand, Kenneth pointed it at Franklin and said, “Franklin, I’m going to ask youone last time… Are you going to apologize or not?”

Without a hint of hesitation, Franklin lifted his head and replied in a loud, clear voice, “No! If I’ve donesomething wrong, I’ll apologize. However, I did nothing wrong this time, so I’ll never apologize! You canpunish me, Great-grandpa, and I will not resist.”

“Very well. As you wish!”

With that, Kenneth raised his arm and swung the cane.

Smack!

Franklin let out a grunt in pain.

Although Sophia did not feel the pain physically, tears began rolling down her cheeks.

Franklin did this all for me! However, just like him, I don’t want to admit it’s my mistake when it’s not. Idon’t want to bow my head in defeat, and I don’t want to call that woman my mommy!

Sophia couldn’t watch them any longer. She hurried off to a corner and fished out a phone from herbackpack. Immediately, she dialed a number that belonged to someone she regarded as her guardianangel.

As the ringing tone resounded through the phone, she felt her heart wrenching with anxiety.

Please pick up the phone! Quick!
