"You saw Chao Ke this afternoon, right?"

The work report was abruptly interrupted and Linnie was distracted for a moment.

Especially the questions raised by [Father] were still so sharp.

This sudden inquiry made Lin Ni, who had decided to conceal Chao Ke's whereabouts after weighing the pros and cons, feel as if his heart was grabbed.

[Father] glanced at me with sharp eyes. In this situation, I couldn't afford to weigh the pros and cons or think about right and wrong.

After all, in the current situation, a moment of hesitation is already an answer.

A pretty bad answer.

So, without hesitation, Linnie nodded and answered Alechino's question.

"That's right, Father."

"I did find traces of Lord Chao Ke when I was performing at the Debo Hotel this afternoon."

Alechino smiled faintly, "He is a good and honest child."

"So, tell me, who is Chao Ke's companion?"

The questions followed closely, leaving Linnie no time to buffer.

The blood-red cross in Alechino's eyes also flickered slightly at this moment, emitting a deadly light.

Outside the office, Chao Ke, who was lying in the corner and eavesdropping, also became very alert at this moment.

Chao Ke also wanted to hear what answer Linni would give.

Chao Ke outside the wall and Alechino inside the house sandwiched Linnie in the middle.

Linny tried his best to keep his facial expression unchanged, but his heart was in great torment.

In order not to be seen as guilty, Linny did not dare to avoid the gaze of his "father".

But just by looking into the eyes of "Father", Linny felt that his soul was seen through.

It seemed as if [Father] already knew the answer to the question, and the reason he asked me was just to test my loyalty.

Just when Linnie couldn't bear the pressure anymore and was about to tell the truth.

Linnet on the side spoke first.

"My dear father, many people came to watch our magic show at the Debo Hotel this afternoon."

"In this turbulent crowd, we only discovered him by coincidence because of our familiarity with Master Chao Ke."

"As for the companions, I'm sorry I can't confirm it."

Alechino looked at Linnet, with neither confirmation nor denial in her eyes.

"What about you, Linnie. Do your answers agree with your sister's?"

Linny took a step forward and put his sister under the protection of his body. After taking a deep breath, Linny said firmly.

"Father, Linnet and I agree with each other."

silence.

There was a long silence in the office.

During this time, the only sound in the quiet house was the heartbeats of three people.

Whose heartbeat is accelerating and who is telling a lie.

"interesting."

Alechino's low voice ended the silence that had lasted for several minutes in the room.

Alechino did not comment on their answers, but just murmured as she watched the brother and sister leave.

"Is this your choice..."

A few minutes later, after Linny and Linnett left the Buffati Mansion through the small door, Chao Ke's figure slowly appeared in the lobby of the mansion and pushed open the door of his sister's office.

"Are you not going to continue eavesdropping outside?"

"hey-hey."

Chao Ke scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Who did you go to [Debo Hotel] with in the afternoon?"

"Funina."

"really."

Alechino picked up the tea at hand and took a sip.

"Children always think they can fool adults, but I can see through their little tricks clearly."

"At least for now, Linnie isn't a good liar."

"The hesitation in his eyes for a moment was even worse than that of his sister Linnet. He kept the same expression from beginning to end, which convinced me."

Chao Ke smiled awkwardly twice, walked silently behind his sister, put his hands on her shoulders and neck, and began to massage slowly.

Alechino put down the cup of water in her hand and did not refuse her brother's service. Instead, she adjusted herself to a comfortable position and enjoyed it.

"Tell me, Chao Ke, are you satisfied with the children's answers?"

"After all, they lied to me, their father, in order to keep your secret."

Chao Ke's hands skillfully wandered around his sister's fair neck, and after thinking for a moment, he answered.

"Of course I am satisfied. There are even some surprises."

"I thought that this little fox Linny would tell me directly about my situation during the report without any interrogation."

"But I didn't expect that, even under your questioning, he didn't say that it was Funina who was with me in the afternoon."

"At this moment, Linny is a very nice boy. Linnett loves her for a good reason."

"The kids are actually worried about our relationship problems and don't want these little disturbances to create a rift between us."

But, Alechino snorted and said.

"I can understand the children's feelings, but this behavior is ultimately a betrayal."

"Whether there will be a rift or an impact, this kind of thing should be judged by adults, rather than letting them handle it and concealing information."

"So, you want to [punish] Linny and Linnet?"

"Otherwise, any organization will quickly decline if human feelings override rules."

"What's more, this is the Hearth House, which is known for its strict rules?"

Having said that, Chao Ke, who lives with his elder sister day and night, understands that his elder sister's tone of voice is not so firm.

In other words, there is still hope.

So, he spoke to Ke.
