Chapter 15 - Are You Going to Be My Friend?

Seeing how Trenton looks like Louis when he narrowed his eyes, Eliza let out a sigh, and Trenton quickly come to his senses.

"Aunty Eliza?"

"Your mommy is fine now. Don't worry. I'm going to buy something to eat. Don't go anywhere else. I'll stay here tonight to watch over your mommy. I'll take you back to get some rest later. Will you be okay?"

Eliza caressed Trenton's head, and her heart ached a little for him.

This little rascal was cheeky and had many tricks up his sleeve. That being said, he was still a child. When he saw his mother's life at risk, he couldn't help but feel panicked and worried. However, this was a hospital filled with a lot of bacteria. Rebecca was already ill, she couldn't let anything happen to Trenton either.

"I'll be fine. Aunty Eliza, please take care of my mommy."

Trenton bowed deeply to Eliza.

This grand gesture of his startled Eliza.

"You little rascal, what are you doing? Your mommy and I are best friends. Don't worry, I'll take good care of her. You should be careful when you're home alone. When you reach home, lock the door, okay? Don't open the door for anyone else. Call me if there's anything."

Eliza was still a little worried, but she couldn't split herself to be in two places at once. She could only feel at peace after Trenton went back home.

Trenton had something else on his mind, so he had no objection to this arrangement.

He nodded and said, "Alright. Aunty Eliza, don't worry. I'll take good care of myself."

"Good boy!"

Eliza looked at Rebecca, who was still unconscious, and found a nurse to look after her for the time being. She took Trenton to get some food. Trenton didn't eat much because he was worried about Rebecca, so Eliza bought him some snacks to bring back home.

When Trenton reached home, Eliza gave him a few more words of advice before leaving in a hurry.

As soon as Eliza left, Trenton turned on the computer.

He remembered that there was a surveillance camera at home. If he wanted to know what happened to his mother during the day, he could only find the answer from the surveillance video.

When he saw Louis harassing Rebecca, Trenton clenched his small fists tightly, and his eyes flashed with anger.

"This so-called daddy of mine abandoned us five years ago, what right does he have to mistreat Mommy like this?" he thought.

Trenton turned off the surveillance camera and infiltrated Bullimited's company network. He browsed through some of the posts on the company's network platform and found that Rebecca was harassed by a woman named Paislee Schmidt when she went to the company. The most important thing was that Louis was there at that time, but he didn't stop Paislee. According to these people on the platform, Paislee was Louis' fiancee and Bullimited's president's future wife.

He suddenly thought of Darryl.

"Is Paislee Darryl's mother? Is that the woman who ruined Mommy and Daddy's marriage, and caused Mommy to leave her hometown?" he wondered.

...

Trenton punched the table with his fist.

"Damn it! This is just irritating! But why did mommy get a tattoo?" he thought.

...

...

Trenton couldn't figure this part out, but he couldn't tolerate others mistreating his mother, especially not Louis!

"It seemed like Louis still hadn't learned his lesson last time." he thought.

Trenton's lips curved into a smile. He wanted to do something, but he suddenly remembered that he had almost been exposed last time. He pondered for a moment before turning off the computer.

He took out his mobile phone, found Darryl's phone number, and called him.

"Hello?"

A childish voice came from the other side.

Trenton said coolly, "It's me, Trenton Andrews."

"Trenton? You called me! That's great! Are you going to be my friend?"

Darryl jumped up happily.

He was the eldest grandson of the Stone family, so everyone respected him a lot, but no one dared to befriend him. Only Trenton dared to snatch Darryl's things from him on his first day there. Trenton didn't even talk to Darryl and ignored him.

Darryl found him very interesting. He insisted on befriending Trenton, but Trenton rejected him coldly. Darryl was flattered that Trenton called him.

Trenton said coolly, "You said you're the eldest grandson of the Stone Family, right? I guess you weren't lying about being the heir of Bullimited?"

"No, I wasn't lying. My mommy said that I'm the only child of the Stone Family. Bullimited will be all mine in the future!" Darryl exclaimed, after hearing Trenton doubt his identity as the company heir.

...

Trenton said coldly, "How would I know if you weren't lying? Tomorrow is the weekend. If you're really the heir of Bullimited, take me to Bullimited. If I see others treat you with respect there, then I'll trust you. Of course, if you're lying, you can just tell me now."

"No, I'm not. I'll take you to my daddy's company tomorrow. I'll see you at 8 o'clock in the morning at the gate of the kindergarten."

Darryl couldn't tolerate others doubting his identity, so he invited Trenton to the company without any hesitation.

The corners of Trenton's lips lifted.

"Okay then, it's settled. See you tomorrow morning."

After hanging up the phone, Trenton smiled slyly. That sly smile looked strange on his delicate face, and there was a hint of mischief in it.
