Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 160 Who is More Frightening
"What happened with Coco?" Sadie walked over, holding Mia to comfort her.
"Mummy, come and look." Nathan stood on a stool, craning his neck to peer into Coco's cage, holding a chopstick and poking at something.
Noah, with his handsome little face feigning seriousness, threatened, "Coco, if you don't behave, I'll pluck out all your feathers!"
"What in the world happened?" Sadie leaned in for a closer look and was stunned, "Oh my goodness!!!"
The lost bracelet of the Potter family was in Coco's cage, concealed in a mound of bird droppings, emitting an unpleasant odor.
Coco protected the bracelet with his wings, not letting anyone near.
Nathan tried to pick the bracelet out with chopsticks, but Coco pecked at the chopsticks with its sharp beak, preventing him from getting near the bracelet.
"This morning when I was cleaning Coco's cage, I found the bracelet right here..."
Chuckling in frustration, Brenda said, "The bracelet is covered in bird droppings; so, you really can't tell unless you look closely."
"I knew it!" Mia exclaimed, hands on her hips and pointing accusingly at Coco. "I knew I definitely left the bracelet in the pencil box, and then it disappeared by the time I got to school."
"Coco has turned into a naughty bird; swallowing chips before and now stealing a bracelet!" Noah pointed sternly at Coco as he criticized, "Coco, this is stealing!"
"He likes shiny things..." Nathan was about to open the cage to retrieve the bracelet.egan
Coco began frantically flapping his wings and squawking loudly, "Mine! Mine!"
"He's even trying to claim it's his!" Mia, who was now furious; balled her tiny fists and roared, "Coco, do you realize the trouble you've caused? You got us siblings scolded and made mommy pay a lot of money..." "Mine! Mine!" Coco wouldn't listen, spreading his wings to shield the precious bracelet that had been so well disguised with droppings, pecking at anyone who dared come close.
"Coco, you can't do this; give back the bracelet!"
"Coco, you can't keep things that aren't yours, understand?"
"Coco, if you keep this up, I'm going to get angry..."
The three little ones took turns scolding Coco, trying to reason with him.
Brenda stood by, unable to suppress her mixed emotions.
Sadie hurriedly ran to her room to call Leah; she wanted to contact her so they could do the swap immediately, so that she could retrieve the ruby necklace... Leah's phone was unreachable!
Sadie tried calling Kathleen, but her phone was switched off too!
Sadie then dialed her uncle, Felipe, who promptly answered; "Sadie..."
"Where are Kathleen and Leah? I urgently need to speak with them for something..."
"They left with Billy, early this morning for France."
"What?" Sadie was stunned. "It's not even seven yet; they shouldn't have left. Please tell them I'll come to see them right away..."
"They've already left," Felipe interrupted, "They caught the 7:30a.m. flight; they called me ten minutes ago to say they'd boarded and were about to take off."
"But I've found the bracelet," Sadie rushed to say, "The ruby necklace is still at your place, right? I'm coming over with the bracelet now..."
"Leah took the ruby necklace with her," Felipe said hastily, "Sadie, I have to go to the office. Let's not talk now; come over for dinner with the kids sometime."
"But, but..." Sadie hadn't finished her sentence when the line went dead.
She held her phone, seething with rage, biting her teeth in frustration. She should have anticipated this once the ruby necklace fell into the clutches of those two women; reclaiming it would be a challenge. But if she failed to retrieve it, she wouldn't be able to explain herself to Micah, and she would be forced to sign that damn debt settlement agreement...
Compared to that, Micah was even more terrifying!
After much hesitation, Sadie dialed Ronan's number...
