“I’m not going to address him as my brother!”
Sally was furious.
She never expected that Gavin would take her 200 thousand dollars and say that it was his salary as a bodyguard.
Now, Gavin was no longer Sally’s bodyguard. According to Sally’s mother, he was already her family member. If she asked him for 200 thousand dollars back, it would be fine if he did not give it to her.
However, Gavin actually pretended that nothing had happened.
Now, Sally’s mother even gave him another two million dollars?
Good lord, Sally’s mother had never given Sally so much money at once!
Sally had worked hard for a year to save up 200 thousand dollars. Now, the other party had only met her mother for less than a day and had directly obtained her mother’s two million dollars?
Who could tolerate this?
However, in the next second, Sally cried out in pain.
“Muriel! It hurts!”
“Don’t pull my ear!”
Muriel pinched Sally’s ear with one hand and said loudly, “You little girl, why don’t you know anything? Are you going to be disobedient? If so, I’ll beat you to death today!”
Sally was really crying out loud!
“Don’t! Muriel! I was wrong! I’ll be good, alright?”
Sally looked at Gavin with an aggrieved expression and said softly, “Gavin, my brother.”
When Muriel saw that her daughter had given in, she suppressed the anger in her heart. She turned around and said gently to Gavin again, “Gav, don’t worry. We’re all your family members. Just wait a while. I’ll be done cooking soon. Let’s eat together as a family of three!”
How did they become a “family of three”?
Why were Muriel’s words still so ambiguous?
However, Gavin could no longer care about these ambiguities.
After all, after returning to Brookspring ten years later, this kind of relationship. was the most important thing in his heart.
At this moment, Gavin looked at Muriel’s back and felt deeply touched.
Originally, he had planned to bid farewell to Muriel and Sally.

From the looks of it, it was not bad for
together.
However, Muriel had given him a huge sum of money.
To be honest, Gavin wanted to return it.
However, he did not know what to say.
The other party really treated him as family. Gavin could not reject such good intentions!
Moreover, Gavin also valued this kind of relationship.
Therefore, Gavin could only reluctantly accept the 200 thousand dollars again. There was nothing he could do.
In short, breakfast was a sweet time spent together.
Muriel’s culinary skills were really similar to Gavin’s mother’s. Gavin felt that he could not get enough of it.
However, at the dining table during the course of this meal, there was always a pair of resentful glasses staring at him.
This pair of eyes naturally belonged to Sally.
Sally looked at her mother, who kept putting food into Gavin’s bowl, and felt endless grievances in her heart!
She kept wailing in her heart, “Muriel! I’m your biological daughter!”
Gavin wanted to spend more time having the meal with them, but they inevitably finished eating at some point.
After Gavin helped Muriel wash the dishes, he wiped his hands and planned to bid farewell to her.
He would make a trip to Greenwald first. He would definitely be able to rush back. before the auction began.
However, just as Gavin was about to speak, the landline phone in the living room. of the presidential suite rang.
Gavin could only give up for the time being and wait for Muriel to finish the call. On the other side, Muriel picked up the call. It was unknown what the other party said, but she muttered softly, “The Mullen family?”
Gavin raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this word.
Was this a call from Stanlow’s Mullen family?
The Mullen family was also the organizer of this auction. They had the title deed. to the Clifford Ancestral Home in their hands.
This was also the main purpose of Gavin’s visit to Stanlow.
Moreover, the Mullen family’s people were his enemies in the massacre of the Clifford family. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Therefore, regarding the Mullen family, Gavin had to take it seriously.
On the other side, after Muriel hung up the phone, a hint of contemplation appeared between her brows.
Not long after, she turned to look at Gavin solemnly and said, “The people from the Mullen family have invited us to attend this auction to meet them in advance.” Gavin raised his eyebrows slightly, and the same doubt appeared in his eyes.
Muriel’s voice did not stop.
“Gay, I came to Stanlow to attend the auction because the final item of this auction is the title deed for Brookspring’s Clifford Ancestral Home! Originally, I wanted to purchase this deed and keep it at home as a memento. But now that I’ve found you, I’ll appear at the auction and buy this title deed to return it to you. This can be considered returning it to its rightful owner.”
“Mrs. Muriel.” Hearing what Murial said, Gavin was touched.
Muriel held Gavin’s hand and shook her head.
“I just don’t know why the Mullen family asked to see us in advance. I’ll go over and see what they’re up to. Gav, don’t go.”
Gavin shook his head and said, “No, Mrs. Muriel, I’ll go with you.”
“But,” Muriel said anxiously, “Gav, you’re from the Clifford family. If you go to the Mullen family’s place, you’ll be in danger!”
Before Gavin could say anything, Sally had already spoken.
“Him? He’s still in danger? Muriel, it’s not like you didn’t see it last night. With his skills, how could he be in danger? Let him come with us. We’ve paid him to be our bodyguard!”
The pay that Sally was talking about was, of course, the 200 thousand dollars she gave Gavin.
However, the money that Muriel thought Sally was talking about was the pocket. money she had given Gavin just now. Muriel rolled her eyes at her daughter and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? That money is pocket money for your brother. How can you put your brother in danger!”
“Muriel!” Sally wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
“Who’s your biological son? He even took my money.”
Before Sally could finish, Gavin said, “Sally’s right, Mrs. Muriel. Don’t worry, with my skills, there won’t be any danger.”
Sally quickly said, “Hey! Do you really think you’re my brother? Why are you speaking up for me?”
Sally’s angry voice was quickly interrupted by Muriel.
“Slap!” Muriel smacked Sally on the head and scolded her.
“How can you talk to your brother like that? Apologize now!”
Sally cried, “Gavin, I was wrong!”
Gavin smiled and said, “Good girl! I forgive you!”
Sally stared at Gavin.
She ground her teeth so hard that her molars were about to break!
Whether Sally’s molars would be crushed or not, Gavin did not know.
He only knew that he might not be able to go to Greenwald today.
That was because the Mullen family’s matter was even more important. That was the Clifford Ancestral Home’s title deed!
As for Brookspring, he did not need to worry about the safety of the three women for the time being.
After all, no one in the Hill family could be Harry’s opponent.
Soon, Gavin followed Muriel and her daughter to a club under the Mullen family’s name in Stanlow.
Gavin followed behind the mother and daughter. He seemed very low-key now, just like a personal bodyguard.
In a hall of this club.
The representatives of the wealthy families from all over Riverrun had already taken their seats.
Gavin stood quietly behind Muriel.
However, Gavin did not find Leonard from the Southeast Martial Order.
It seemed that because of Leonard’s identity, the Mullen family’s people would not let Leonard gather with the public.
Not long after, a man in a black suit and bow tie slowly walked out and stood at the front of the hall.
“Everyone, you’ve waited for a long time. Because of some special matters, Mr. Mullen can’t attend this meeting. Therefore, I’ll tell everyone what we want to talk about today.”
This person was actually not a core member of the Mullen family?
Upon hearing this news, everyone in the hall revealed a trace of displeasure in
their eyes.
However, at this moment, Gavin’s gaze slowly drifted to the depths of the hall, to a floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor!
