Chapter 586: Chapter 389: Connected_1

Glenn Mitchell walked out with a little girl and bowed: "Greetings to the Master."

It turns out Verna has got a playmate. However, Master Bertram had a cold attitude towards Glenn Mitchell, "Oh, Brother Glenn came. Such a rare guest." He waved to Verna, "You guys have fun." Then he walked away with his hands behind his back.

Glenn Mitchell: ???

What happened to you, upper-class men, being kind to the talented and the virtuous? When I openly expressed my intention to join you, why didn’t you show a more welcoming attitude?

But Master Bertram really wasn’t interested. The pride of the poor is something to be praised, but Glenn Mitchell isn’t just a simple issue of pride; he is somewhat twisted in his own mind.

If it was during the early days of the Summit Metropolitan Office, when Master Bertram didn’t have many talents around him, he might have lowered his stance to recruit him, but now the Summit Metropolitan Office was full of talents, and Master Bertram lost interest.

Verna happily pulled Glenn’s sister and said, "Let’s go. I’ll take you to find something delicious!"

Most children who say this would usually search for snacks and treats in different rooms, but Verna belonged to the unusual sort; she dragged Lily straight to the backyard.

The house was quite sizable, with a back garden. However, the backyard was desolate with overgrown weeds since no one lived there and it had not been taken care of. Verna had discovered a small black snake in the backyard several days ago!

She had always wanted to catch it, cook it, and eat it. After arriving in the Capital, she hadn’t had any game to eat for a long time because there was nowhere to hunt, and she had heard that snake meat was delicious when cooked.

However, the little black snake was very cunning and had escaped her grasp several times before. Verna felt that with an extra pair of hands today, the little black snake would definitely be caught, hahaha!

Glenn Mitchell let his sister go with Ava Bertram with confidence, never imagining what his precious sister would go through next.

He stood alone in the front yard for a while before finally bracing himself to walk towards Master Bertram’s room.

He didn’t want to bow his head, but both he and his sister owed their lives to the Master. He had nothing to offer in return, so he could only sell his life to Master Bertram. Glenn Mitchell was unwilling to submit to powerful people, but neither was he willing to owe anyone favors.

"Master..." he called out from outside the door, but before he could finish his words, he heard a piercing scream coming from the backyard: "Ahh!"

Glenn Mitchell’s face turned pale, and he recognized that it was Maria’s voice, clearly terrified. Glenn Mitchell dashed towards the backyard, and Owen Bertram followed, suspecting that Verna might have caused some trouble again...

When Glenn Mitchell arrived in the backyard, he saw his sister curled up beneath a small mound, shivering with fear, her tearful eyes fixed on Ava Bertram on top of the mound.

Ava held a foot-long black snake in her hand, while her other hand was on her hip, wide-mouthed, laughing loudly, "I finally caught you, huh? You wanted to run away? Get into my pot obediently!"

She finally noticed the terrified look on Lily’s face and tenderly reassured her, "Don’t be afraid. It’s not dangerous. Look—" She brought the black snake closer to Lily.

"Ahhh!" Lily rolled and crawled away. Glenn Mitchell hurriedly stepped in front of her but didn’t know what to say. Owen Bertram arrived, quickly holding his sister back and apologizing to the Mitchell siblings, "This...I apologize for my poor discipline. I’m very sorry for frightening your sister."

Glenn Mitchell looked at Master Bertram gloomily, "Is your sister... mentally okay?"

Many years later, Lily, who had become the new generation leader of the Heaven’s Chosen in the Wood Dynasty, was still willingly following Ava like a little follower. Many people couldn’t understand why she would be so willing?

Only Lily knew that it might be because of that noon when Ava caught that black snake. From that moment on, she became my forever Big Sister—my Big Sister is so brave!

Owen Bertram turned and whispered an explanation to Verna for a long time, and Verna finally understood, saying blankly, "Oh, I see. There are people who are afraid of little snakes. It’s strange how such delicious creatures can be terrifying." Lily shivered in her brother’s arms.

Although Verna didn’t understand, she knew she had made a mistake. She bravely said, "In that case, I’ll cook this snake and share a bowl with you!"

This was already the most generous offer Verna could make. As a result, Lily was frightened again, shivering at the thought of eating it. Goosebumps all over.

Owen Bertram pulled Verna back and explained further. Verna was quite happy, "It’s better if she doesn’t eat it. This snake is so small. It’s not enough for me and my elder brother."

Then she was a bit troubled: "How do I express my apology to this little sister? Last time I just protected the food and she left. It’s not easy to get her back this time. If I scare her away again, who will play with me next time?"

"How about this, let’s go to Riverside Avenue. There are lots of delicious things there. I’ll ask my brother to treat you. Don’t worry, my brother is very rich now."

Lily hesitated for a moment, looked into Verna’s innocent and pure eyes, and finally nodded.

Then, Verna found a big basket to lock the little black snake into and pressed a large stone slab on top. That stone slab should not be something children of this age could move.

Four people went together to Riverside Avenue. Owen Bertram originally prepared a carriage, but once the two little girls arrived on the bustling street, they couldn’t help themselves and asked to get off the carriage and
