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 .
“ Torin , don’t say anymore , ” he said .
“ I know that Elysia helped you draw away the robbers previously , so you managed to escape successfully .
Because of that , you’re very grateful to her , but you can’t lie to me like this .
“ 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 ?
“ Besides , I give her so much pocket money every month .
Can’t she even afford to buy a laptop ? ”
The more Rupert spoke , the more disappointed he felt .
He thought , ‘ Initially , I thought that even without my crazy daughter Rowena , I still have a biological daughter who is kind .
‘ Unexpectedly , I saw her stealing as soon as I arrived .
Previously , it was Rowena who framed her , and that’s why I misunderstood .
It’s not the case now , right ? ‘
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 , “ I remember clearly that each of my computers has a birthday gift from Rowena attached to the keyboard .
”
Upon hearing this , a group of netizens looked at the keyboard of the laptop .
There were a few inconspicuous star stickers and a Winnie – the – Pooh in the corner .
If he hadn’t 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 .
“ I didn’t say this isn’t your laptop , ” Torin said .
“ What I said was that this laptop was indeed picked up from the trash can by Elysia .
”
He sighed , once again feeling a sense of unfamiliarity toward his father , whom he had always respected greatly .
“ How can it be considered stealing when family members use each other’s things ? ” he added .
“ Dad , you’re being ridiculous .
”
‘ What’s 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 .
“ What a lousy laptop ! It’s barely been used and is already broken .
I even pasted my precious daughter’s stickers on it .
I’m so mad .
Someone , please throw this laptop away and buy me a new one .
”
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 .
[ He’s done too many bad things , so he’s 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 , isn’t Rupert’s 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 , he’s 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 .
