Chapter 1775

But the moment he caught the razor-sharp glare from Louisa, his bravado melted into a sheepish

stammer, "Take care now. Cool off. No need to stoop to our level."

Louisa stormed out, leaving an aching Steward to rub his sore arm and turn to Sean, "What do we do

now, Sean?"

Even Louisa wouldn't bail them out.

Sean was at a loss, so he whipped out his cell and texted David, the usual go-to guy for clever

schemes.

[Got any tricks up your sleeve to cheer up Bella?]

Barely a second passed before his phone buzzed with a barrage of shocked, popcorn-munching, and

roaring laughter emojis from David.

Sean shot back, none too pleased, [Are you asking for a smackdown?]

David called him immediately, "Sean, I mean, come on, you had the nerve to tick off Bella in your own

house? You've got some guts, buddy. I won't even start on the fact that she could send you flying with a

roundhouse kick."

martial arts whiz but me?"

"Guess you should visit more often. I've always said that listing Bella's talents could fill nights on end."

"Got any bright ideas, then?"

"Sean, why do I hear a chill in your voice? You cold? She didn't lock you out, did she?" David could

almost picture Sean's scowl when silence answered him, "No way, Sean, don't tell me I'm right? Are

you literally out in the cold?"

"Keep laughing, will you?"

David struggled to contain his mirth, "No, no, no, I'm not laughing at you. I'm the master at making sis

happy, you came to the right guy. But hey, there's this cool sports car about to hit the market, and I'm

torn about the color. Let me decide, and I'll get back to you."

Sean caught the hint, "Pick one, I'll buy it for you."

David was floored by Sean's unexpected generosity, thinking he might as well fleece Sean while he's at

it.

"Sean, just so you know, it's five million bucks."

"I said it's on me."

"So you'll transfer the money now?" David was keen on sealing the deal, "I need to make a down

payment."

Sean hung up and wired the five million dollars to David's account. A notification chimed on David's

phone confirming the transaction.

"Spill it now?" Sean was getting impatient, not so much about the cold but worried his sister might take

the argument to heart.

"Sean, to be honest, if you had the nerve to upset sis, you deserve some time to stand and reflect. I

was about to take her side and give you a piece of my mind, but consider this five million dollars your

ticket to peace." David hung up before Sean could respond.

Questions swirled in Sean's head as he realized his gullible little brother had just conned him.

Steward, sensing the drop in Sean's mood, ventured cautiously, "Sean, did David give you any good

advice?"

"Zip it," Sean thought grimly. Alright, this was war. In a few days, he'd settle the score with David.

David, having cashed in, dialed up Hans, "Hans, there's something big, about Bella, and it's kinda risky.

I'm not sure I should spill it."

"Out with it," Hans' voice was as commanding as ever, "Whatever it is, I've got your back."

"Alright, Hans, but you've gotta protect me, don't let me get hurt. By the way, lately my wallet's been

thinner than me."
