"Daddy, did you get bullied?"

Emily blinked his innocent big eyes as if he had just inadvertently asked this question.

He didn't know how embarrassing it could be for Rowdy.

The moment he finished speaking, the whole dining room fell into dead silence.

Everyone, including the maids, was holding back their laughter.

Once they laughed out loud, it would be disrespectful to Rowdy.

If it were in normal times, they might only be fired.

But today, Rowdy was obviously in a bad mood, and he was embarrassed enough. If they laughed out loud, it would only intensify his embarrassment. The consequences would be far more than being expelled, and it was very likely that there would be a cruel punishment awaiting them.

Therefore, they could not laugh no matter what.

Emily was still young and didn't know much about the ways of the world. In addition, his attention was focused on Rowdy, so he didn't feel the current embarrassment at all.

Seeing that no one spoke, the little boy tilted his head innocently and said to Rowdy, "Daddy, Auntie Yuna said that silence is tacit approval! So, are you tacitly agreeing that you did get bullied?"

The air suddenly became quiet. The atmosphere was not only awkward but also stiff.

At this point, the maids realized that they could not stay any longer.

They could hold back their laughter, but they couldn't stop Emily.

If they stayed any longer, Rowdy's skeleton in his closet would be exposed to them, and they would still be punished.

A stewardess coughed and said, "Mr. Kent, we'll go clean up the kitchen. Call us if you need anything."

The maids obviously left for the sake of Rowdy.

Because of this, their actions were extremely deliberate at this moment.

A feeling of awkwardness spread to every inch of the air.

However, only Rowdy and Yuna could feel the embarrassment.

Emily was immersed in his own world and didn't realize that something was wrong at all. He only found that Rowdy had been silent.

He firmly believed that his dad was unwilling to admit his mistake.

The little boy began to reason with Rowdy seriously. "Daddy, you're wrong!"

Rowdy still did not speak.

He wanted to know what he had done wrong.

Emily didn't care about Rowdy's reaction at all. He analyzed seriously and said, "Daddy, since you got bullied, you should go to the one who bullied you and take revenge. Why would you vent your anger on Auntie Yuna?" After a pause, he added, "Auntie Yuna is innocent!"

This time, Rowdy still remained silent.

Emily didn't get Rowdy's answer for a long time, so he naturally thought that Rowdy was ignoring him.

The little boy was really angry and raised his voice. "Daddy, you're making trouble for no reason!"

Rowdy seemed to find it funny, so he slowly started talking and asked Emily, "Do you know what it means to make trouble for no reason?"

"Yes!" Emily explained in detail, "You were doing that when you talked to Auntie Yuna just now!"

Yuna had been holding back her laughter when she saw Emily negotiating with Rowdy like a young adult.

However, when she heard the last part of Emily's words, she almost broke down.

She still knew Rowdy very well. When he was angry, those who had their names heard by him would be punished.

"Why did Emily have to suddenly mention me?

"I wasn't in this!"

For a moment, Yuna's scalp went numb, and she thought to herself, "Can I take back Emily's words just now? Or can I reverse time and have Emily take them back?"

At that moment, Rowdy looked at Yuna with a gloomy look. He said in a cold voice, "Yuna, you've taught Emily well."

These words were obviously demeaning rather than praising.

"It's not like that!" Yuna hurriedly denied, "Emily is so smart. I believe it has more to do with heredity!"

The implication was that Emily was smart yet mischievous, but it had nothing to do with her education. If possible, she even wanted to deny that she had taught Emily.

Yuna just wanted to shift responsibility. If the little boy's intelligence was not inherited from his mother, then it was inherited from his father, Rowdy.

"If Rowdy is to look into something, he shouldn't go after me."

Of course, Rowdy knew that Yuna wanted to stay out of this matter. He snorted with a fake smile and turned to look at Emily. "Go upstairs now."

Emily looked at Rowdy and then looked at Yuna. He was still worried and refused decisively. "I won't go upstairs. I won't let you bully Auntie Yuna!"

At this time, Rowdy was not in the mood to reason with his son.

Yuna was the most important to him at the moment.

Rowdy casually called a subordinate over and ordered, "Take Emily to his room upstairs. He can't come down until I leave home!"

"No, I don't want to go upstairs! Daddy, you're a bad guy. Save me, Auntie Yuna. I don't to be locked up. Boo-hoo..."

Before Rowdy's subordinate could respond, Emily screamed and tried to break free from his grip, but he was only five years old and was no match for an adult. He was quickly picked up and carried toward the stairs.

The little boy knew that he couldn't struggle, so he could only quiet down and cast a "take care" look at Yuna to compromise with evil forces.

When they reached the stairs, the little boy suddenly thought of something and looked at Rowdy angrily. "Daddy, you're not allowed to bully Auntie Yuna when I'm not around. Otherwise, I will definitely avenge her, humph!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emily was carried up to the second floor, and his tender little figure completely disappeared from the first floor.

Twilight had yet to descend at this point.

The setting sun shined through the window and sprinkled on the dining room floor. It was as if it was painted with a thin layer of golden light on the ancient wooden floor. It looked particularly peaceful and beautiful.

Since the maids sensibly left and Emily was also taken away, only Rowdy and Yuna could see such a beautiful scene.

Unfortunately, neither of them was in the mood to enjoy the sunset.

Rowdy had been staring at Yuna. His eyes were gloomy, unclear, and undisguised, with a hint of threat.

He hoped that Yuna would respond or take the initiative to speak.

It turned out that he had underestimated her.

Yuna had been with Wesley for so long that she had already cultivated enough willpower.

She didn't mind Rowdy's gaze.

No matter how he looked at her, she didn't move at all, as if he were just a lifeless statue. His eyes didn't work on her.

She had been glared at by Wesley, so how could she easily compromise?

In the end, Rowdy admitted defeat.

He found that he couldn't subdue Yuna with that move. He slowly looked down and said in a less harsh tone, "Yuna, I hope we can have a good talk."

"If you insist on me having the operation, we have nothing to talk about." Yuna's tone was cold, and her attitude was unexpectedly tough. "I won't take the operation. Give up."

"Why?" Rowdy looked at Yuna in confusion. "Yuna, in the past, even if there was only a 1% chance of success, you would have grasped it tightly and never given up easily. Now there is a 10% chance, why are you retreating?"

In the past, Rowdy often gave Yuna some difficult tasks.

Because only by handing them to her could he have a higher chance of success.

Yuna never refused.

At that time, she was still very young. The more difficult and challenging it was for her, the more she liked it.

During these days, Yuna's temperament had almost changed greatly, so Rowdy naturally felt confused.

Yuna didn't speak but sneered in her heart.

It was true that she had helped Rowdy with a lot of dangerous missions. His current achievements were related to her courage to take risks.

A few years ago, when she still had feelings for him, she felt that she was very brave and could even be awarded a Medal of Bravery.

She was not afraid of death for Rowdy's sake because she believed in him.

She believed that even if she died accidentally, he would help her take care of her grandmother.

However, it was the person she trusted the most that had got her only family member killed.

It seemed that it was not courage but stupidity that made her fearless. She could not see through the essence of things at all.

Rowdy was obviously taking advantage of her to expand his power and wealth. She was just a pawn, but she was willing to do things for him.

She even felt honored to do something for Rowdy.

She did not know if any other girls had experienced such a period, but she was really stupid and ignorant at that time.

"Yes, I was ignorant but not naive.

"Fortunately, I've seen through Rowdy. I will never make the same mistake again."

Yuna looked at Rowdy calmly and said slowly, "If you want to know the reason, I can tell you."

Rowdy didn't speak, waiting for Yuna to continue, while secretly observing every tiny expression on her face.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know why I was fearless before? At that time, I didn't have a goal that I had to achieve, but now, I must avenge my grandma."

Rowdy didn't say anything.

Yuna seemed to be gritting her teeth and continued to say determinedly, "The failure rate of the operation is so high. If I suddenly die during it, I'll be too embarrassed to see my grandma in that way."

This time, Yuna didn't mention who she was going to take revenge on or Wesley's name.

She knew that what she said was Rowdy's greatest weakness at the bottom of his heart. As long as it was mentioned, he would inevitably feel guilty.

Rowdy also automatically defined Wesley as Yuna's target of revenge. He slightly changed the subject and asked, "Yuna, since your grandma passed away, it has been your greatest obsession to avenger her, hasn't it?"

"Yes." Yuna snapped the cutlery in her hands. "I must avenge my grandma."
