After dinner, Liam went straight to his old room, closing and locking the door behind him.
"Mom!" his cousin, the eldest daughter of his uncle, stomped her foot and yelled, "He's in my room again!"
His aunt's face turned beet red with anger. "What good does it do to yell at me?"
She turned to her husband, "We should've sent him back to the countryside when we had the chance. You insisted on keeping him, and look where that's gotten us."
"I thought he was my sister's son... Who would've guessed he'd turn out like this!" Liam's uncle gritted his teeth.
They finally had a chance to improve their lives after Liam's parents passed away, but now it seemed like everything would be ruined by this troublemaker! Frustrated, the eldest daughter plopped down on the couch and exclaimed, "We should just sell the house. Even if we have to move far away, it's better than this."
"Do you think I don't want that too? The neighbors around here are nothing but trouble. Every time someone cames to look at the house, they started gossiping. Who would dare to buy it?" Liam's aunt fumed at the thought. Hearing this, the eldest daughter became even more annoyed.
Meanwhile, the two younger kids didn't really care. They were already upset that their sister had claimed the biggest and best room. "Mom, look at this!" suddenly called out one of the kids.
She leaned in to see.
"Isn't this the news about the rich kid from the posh school getting kidnapped?"
"Mom, look at this video. It seems like Liam saved that rich kid!"
"So we can ask for whatever reward we want?" His aunt finally caught on.
"Even hundreds of thousands or millions are nothing to them! But I think asking for cash is too direct, we should ask for a house!" The eldest daughter said excitedly, "Let's go check out some properties now. I remember the Silverman Group, Bane Corporation, and the Jared Group all have luxury properties in H City!"
"Can we really do that?" Liam's uncle was still hesitant.
Those were powerful families that they couldn't afford to mess with.
"How will we know if we don't try?" his wife said determinedly, "Your sister really did bring us some good luck!"
