Skyler blinked, a spark of mischief flickering in his eyes, [Don't get too cocky, Geoffrey. No matter what
sneaky tricks you pull, they'll fall flat. You can't outsmart us.]
An angry emoji popped up from Geoffrey, [Us? Who's 'us'? You and Leopold? Dude, you and I came NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
from the same mom. We're the real family here, not Leopold. If you were on my side, we could take
Leopold down in no time.]
Skyler made a face at his phone, [I'm not going to stoop to your level. I'm just a kid, man. No big
desires and just wanna have fun.]
If something happened to Leopold, Angel, Kane, Jessica... everyone would be bummed, and the good
times would be over.
Geoffrey sent a bomb emoji. [Useless. You're all about fun and games, never any help. You're just
dead weight. I must've been cursed to end up with a brother like you.]
Skyler pouted, [Feeling's mutual. I must've been super cursed to have a brother like you. Besides, I
don't even know what you look like. For all I know, you could be a total catfish, not my brother at all. I'm
pretty good-looking, so you're probably hideous, which is why you're hiding.]
[I'm hideous?] Geoffrey retorted, [I'm a hundred times, no, a thousand times more handsome than you.]
[Talk is cheap. Pictures or it didn't happen. I don't buy it,] Skyler taunted, knowing full well he was no
novice in psychology.
[Your reverse psychology won't work on me. When it comes to mind games, I'm leagues ahead of you.]
[I'd never consider you my real brother without seeing your face. You could be anyone, maybe just one
of Tanya's interns for all I know.]
[Rubbish! I am your brother, no doubt about it. Only someone with a head full of bubbles would
question that.]
[Whatever. Until I see the real you, I won't accept you as my brother, no matter what you say. Even if
you are, you could be from some other woman, not the same as my mom. Dad's got enough kids out
there, and half-brothers are no different than stepbrothers.]
[You little rascal, I am your brother, and if I'm not, then the Earth isn't round.]
[The Earth isn't round, genius, it's an oblate spheroid.]
[Smartass. You're asking for a whooping. One day, I'll take Mom's place and teach you a lesson.]
Skyler didn't want to engage any further in the nonsense.
In the study, Aurelia's expression was serious as she said, "You're sure there's no hidden
surveillance?"
"Nothing," Leopold shook his head, "The guards have been over every inch of the place."
"Could they have missed something?" Aurelia asked.
"I'll have them sweep again," Leopold said gravely.
"He might just be bluffing to scare us," Leopold mused.
"It's possible," Leopold said darkly. Coոtent of Drąмąոovеls.cоm
Leopold had thought the same. A chilling resolve glinted in his eyes.
"Let him come. We'll be ready for anything he throws our way. He won't succeed."
