Chapter 97
It turned out that just as Rupert was on his way here , the livestream had already revealed the origin of this laptop .
However , Rupert did not see it with his own eyes and thought his eldest son had been bewitched by Elysia , so much so that he could even make up such a lic .
â Torin , donât say anymore , â he said .
â I know that Elysia helped you draw away the robbers previously , so you managed to escape successfully .
Because of that , youâre very grateful to her , but you canât lie to me like this .
â How could my laptop appear in the trash can ? If Elysia wanted the laptop , she could have just asked me directly .
Why must she steal it ?
â Besides , I give her so much pocket money every month .
Canât she even afford to buy a laptop ? â
The more Rupert spoke , the more disappointed he felt .
He thought , â Initially , I thought that even without my crazy daughter Rowena , I still have a biological daughter who is kind .
â Unexpectedly , I saw her stealing as soon as I arrived .
Previously , it was Rowena who framed her , and thatâs why I misunderstood .
Itâs not the case now , right ? â
This was not the first time Torin had been so speechless toward his father .
Just as Torin was about to show Rupert the replay that he had edited while Rupert was rambling , Rupert thought he was about to throw his phone like a dart at him .
So , Rupert dodged it .
Feeling angry out of embarrassment , he said , â I remember clearly that each of my computers has a birthday gift from Rowena attached to the keyboard .
â
Upon hearing this , a group of netizens looked at the keyboard of the laptop .
There were a few inconspicuous star stickers and a Winnie â the â Pooh in the corner .
If he hadnât said it , no one would have noticed these little things .
However , not only did he mention it , but he also made it clear that they were birthday gifts from Rowena .
â I didnât say this isnât your laptop , â Torin said .
â What I said was that this laptop was indeed picked up from the trash can by Elysia .
â
He sighed , once again feeling a sense of unfamiliarity toward his father , whom he had always respected greatly .
â How can it be considered stealing when family members use each otherâs things ? â he added .
â Dad , youâre being ridiculous .
â
â Whatâs even more hilarious is that these stickers from Rowena are worth a few cents , and you treat them like treasures , sticking them on the keyboard , he thought .
Torin did not dare to say the last sentence out loud .
He only muttered it in his mind .
Just then , as Elysia , who was on the screen , pressed the button to check her results , the scene changed .
A furious curse suddenly came through .
â What a lousy laptop ! Itâs barely been used and is already broken .
I even pasted my precious daughterâs stickers on it .
Iâm so mad .
Someone , please throw this laptop away and buy me a new one .
â
The man on the screen , who was frantically hitting the laptop and furiously pressing the power button , was none other than Rupert .
But it was him from seven years ago .
His hair was still dense , and his face did not have as many wrinkles .
Overall , he was still considered handsome .
For some reason , his hair fell more and more , and the sagging of his skin also accelerated .
One after another , netizens came to a conclusion .
[ Heâs done too many bad things , so heâs getting his just deserts .
]
[ Rowena is so stingy .
Rupert bought her a hair clip worth 300 thousand dollars , and she only gave him stickers in return ? ]
[ No , isnât Rupertâs current expression the funniest thing ? It perfectly captures the look of being dumbfounded , and with the wrinkles on his face , he looks just like Mr.
Bean .
Well , heâs uglier than Mr.
Bean .
]
Rupert watched as the servant took the laptop , which he had smashed into two pieces , from his hands .
The camera then followed the servant as she walked over to the trash can .
