Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Running Away from Home Again A duel between the father and daughter almost happened at the Garden of Rose. Jason was sitting cross-legged on the sola. The sight of a huffing Catherine and a livid Ryan amused him. It took him a long time to understand the situation Alter sitting Catherine down beside him, he said, “Girl, did you have a crush on Matthew? Your taste is not bad.”

“You also think so? Grandpa, your taste is good too!” Catherine finally found someone who understood her. In excitement, she grabbed Jason’s hand. The cloud on her face cleared up instantly. To that, Ryan just snorted.

Although Jason had met Matthew just once, the latter had left him with a good impression. That kid is good looking, funny, and easy-going. He is much better than that stone-faced, sanctimonious Moore kid.”

Catherine couldn’t agree more. “Absolutely!”

Hailey helplessly shook her head. “Good-looking? Do you think so?”

Jason glared at her and said, “Don’t try to defend Owen just yet. We’re talking about Matthew.” Hailey was speechless. When did she try to defend him? Ava listened on the sidelines and snickered. Her grandpa was so cute.

“Yeah, Grandpa, let’s talk about Matthew. What else do you know about him? Tell me… Catherine also sat cross-legged on the sofa, ready to have a good talk with the old man Ryan and Hailey looked at each other in dismay. They thought that Catherine would relent after making a scene.

Unexpectedly, the girl was more sophisticated and resourceful than they thought. She really ran away.

Most of the bodyguards at the gate were knocked out. Ryan was woken up in the middle of the night and fumed with rage. “Track her down through her phone. No one can stop me this time. I will definitely break her legs.”

He needed to catch her first. Catherine was smart and aware that her father had bugged her phone, so she had left without it. There was no way they could track her down.

Hailey had a headache, sending her men to intercept Catherine at the airport and the train station.

However, there were no signs of her. When it was dawn, Brook came to the Garden of Rose, laughing.

His laughter was creepy as if he was possessed. He was grinning, but it looked more terrible than crying. Hailey and Ryan were sleepless all night. They looked over and narrowed their eyes.

Ava also hadn’t slept much. In her drowsiness, she was startled by Brook’s wild laughter. “Brook, what…

happened to you? “Hahaha… don’t mention it… hahaha, Catherine… hahaha, fed me a packet of pistachios… hahaha, and then I’m like this..hahaha, hurry up, help me!”

Brook had been laughing all night. Now he was on the brink of having a mental breakdown.

At a glance, Hailey and Ryan understood what was going on. They quickly gave Brook the antidote and let him swallow it. After a while, he finally stopped laughing. He survived it.

What the heck is in those pistachios? I laughed all night. My face is cramping.” Brook grumbled, rubbing his cheeks “It’s Laughing Nation,” Hailey said blandly “What is that?” Brook was confused, “A kind of medicament that will stimulate your brain and makes you laugh like a crazy person. It was called Laughing Pill in the past til Catherine changed it into Loughing Nation.” Hailey explained.

Brook was so angry that his eyes rounded, “Which psychopath made the medicine?

“MeRvan looked up and said blandly Brook turned around and glared at the man Bad language was at the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it. Forget it, he couldn’t afford to mess with Ryan.

Brook’s arrival relieved Hailey a little. Catherine went to see you?”

“Yeah, she said that she missed me and came to see me. It delighted me, and then she asked me to teach her some hacking techniques. In a short while, she got impatient and asked me to help her find Matthew.”

He had never felt so helpless, “I believed she had ulterior motives and tried to sound her out when she gave me a packet of pistachios.

He looked sideways at Ryan and grumbled, *Ryan, your daughter bullied me. You should hold justice for me Ryan sneered and asked him, “Do I have a daughter?”

Brook was confused. He turned to look at Hailey who showed a poker face and remained silent. This wasn’t right.

He looked at Ava, and the latter whispered, “She ran away from home.” “Again? How many times is it?”

Brook raised his eyes. “What’s the cause this time? She asked me to pinpoint Matthew’s position. Did she go to see him? What is going on? The girl has a crush on that kid and elopes with him?

As he spoke, Ryan’s face darkened. Upon hearing the last part, he stood up. Brook was taken aback.

He clutched the pillow, hid in the corner of the sofa, and looked at the man in fear. “Ryan?”

Ryan asked unhappily. “When did she go to see you? Why didn’t you come earlier?” Was it his fault?

Brook felt wronged and grumbled, “She came early and fed me the pistachios. Then I started laughing. After discovering Matthew’s whereabouts, she ran away. Before leaving, she told me that the pistachios might have gone out of shelf life and that I would be fine after having a rest. Then she knocked me out. When I came round, I was still laughing and realized I had fallen for her trick. Then I came to seek your TD help Ryan and Hailey glared at him at the same time and scolded him, “Are you a fool?”

Brook was speechless. Ryan felt a surge of rage in his chest and asked coldly, “Where is Matthew?” “In North City Erook replied seriously. Ryan’s eyes dimmed.

Matthew had a good night’s sleep at the Moore Mansion. He had planned to sleep on the king-size bed in the master bedroom. Hailey was once on the same bed. He then dismissed the idea because he was afraid that Owen would throw him out to the street in the middle of the night. Given their weak friendship, that man could do such a thing He had to come down a notch and stay in the guest room. It had been a long time since he came to North City, Compared with the busy Owen, he was idle. Waking up naturally, he unhurriedly had brunch. Then he wondered if he should go fishing with his friends or play basketball. With his legs crossed, he enjoyed the congee and hummed a song The housekeeper came over and reported, “Mr. Holland, there is a girl outside who wants to see you.” “A girl?” Matthew thought about it. Once he broke up with his girlfriends, they would not see each other again.

He had never maintained an ambiguous relationship with any of them. Unable to figure it out, he turned sideways and saw Catherine standing at the gate. With a yellow duck bag on her back, she grinned at him and called out in a crisp voice, “Matt!” Matthew spat out a mouthful of porridge.
