Chapter 335 The truth(1/3)
Luke raised his feet.
Manny floated up from the water, grabbed the fishing rod with both hands, and breathed heavily, "I can't swim, let me go up, please."
"Who's the idiot?"
"Sorry, I said the wrong thing. No one is an idiot."
"Now that it's been said, there is always someone who is an idiot."
"I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot, drag me up." There was a hint of pleading in Manny's voice.
"Why should I drag you up? Tell me a reason?"
Manny choked and said, "It was you who pulled me off the platform."
"Wrong answer." Luke raised his foot and stepped on Manny's head again, without any mercy on his face.
I drove him to the lake to fish, and I was kind enough to help him fish, but this kid kicked me into the lake. Fortunately, I knew how to swim, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Some minors do not deserve sympathy at all.
This boy named Manny is a spoiled little bully.
You're welcome to him.
Manny hurriedly shouted, "I fell by myself. I fell into the lake by myself."
Luke raised his feet and said, "That's right, you have to be smart to get out of the water."
"I'm so cold. I feel like I'm going to be sick. Please drag me up."
"Don't pretend to be pitiful with me, I don't do that."
"Then how can you drag me up?
Do you want money? My mommy has a lot of money. I can ask her to give it to you as much as you want."
"Why do you feel like you are tempting me to commit a crime? You are such a bad boy." Luke raised his foot again.
"Nonono, please don't do this. Whatever you want me to do, I will listen to you.
I feel like I'm drowning, please stop stepping on my head."
"As long as you hold on to the fishing rod, you won't drown. As long as you answer my questions well, I will pull you up."
"You ask? I'll tell you everything."
"Did you write that threatening letter on the window sill?"
"Yes."
"Is it handwritten?"
"It's printed."
"Tell me the content of the threatening letter."
Manny recalled for a moment and said, "'Mr. Cruise.
I don't think getting engaged is a wise decision, you are just confused by that woman for a moment.
She is not as good as you think. She has been cheating on you and came with a purpose...'"
Manny's narrative basically matched the content of the threatening letter, and Luke could confirm that he had indeed written the threatening letter.
Luke continued, "Does your mother know about this?"
"I didn't tell her before I wrote the threatening letter, but later...she found out and scolded me.
But I can feel that she is happy."
"How can I prove that you wrote it?"
"I wrote it on my laptop and then connected it to my home printer to print it. I should be able to check the records."
"Where is your computer?"
"It's in the villa in the manor. I usually bring it with me."
"If the engagement ceremony goes ahead, how are you going to ruin it?"
"I don't know how to do anything. I just want to scare my grandfather and make him quit. That's all."
"After I go back, I will take the initiative to confess to Fon Cruz. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I will do as you say."
"If you dare to talk nonsense, don't let me save you next time you accidentally fall into the water."
"I won't lie. I accidentally fell into the lake while fishing, and you rescued me.
I am very grateful to you and very moved, so I will tell you about writing the threatening letter."
"You're welcome." Luke pulled up the fishing rod and pulled him out of the lake.
Manny seemed to have been pardoned, and he collapsed on the platform, breathing heavily and sobbing softly, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
It's not necessarily a bad thing to be taught a lesson by Luke today.
Later, Luke drove back to the manor.
At this time, Fon Cruise was standing at the door of the manor, as if preparing to welcome guests. Seeing Luke and Manny all wet, he wondered, "Boys, what happened?"
Manny looked at Luke and said, "I accidentally fell into the lake and Mr. Li rescued me.
Grandfather, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
Manny hesitated for a moment, "If I do something wrong, will you forgive me?"
Fionn Cruz smiled and said, "It's not terrible to do something wrong. As long as you know your mistakes and correct them, you will still be a good boy."
"I...I wrote that threatening letter."
Fon Cruise was stunned for a moment, looked at Luke, and then at Manny, "Why are you doing this?"
"I don't like her and don't want her to be my grandmother.
Sorry, I know it’s wrong to do this, and I won’t do it again.”
Fon Cruz looked complicated and sighed, "Does your mother know about this?"
"No, please don't tell her, I don't want to disappoint her."
"I don't have to tell her, but you have to agree to one condition."
"What conditions?"
"You need to clean the dinner plates tonight."
"Why? Aren't there maids and a dishwasher?"
"You have done something wrong and you must be punished. If you are unwilling to do something wrong, then I will tell your mother and let her educate you."
"I promise you, I will clean it up."
"Remember, this won't happen again."
"Have you forgiven me?"
"I can forgive you.
But in exchange, you must respect Ms. Chanelle Carr from now on."
"I don't like her, and I won't call her grandma."
"You don't have to like her, but you have to respect her enough. Can you do that?"
"Yes."
"Very good, go change your clothes quickly so you don't catch a cold."
Manny glanced at Luke and then left.
Fon Cruise looked at Luke aside, "Mr. Li, is what this child said true?"
"Not at all.
This bad boy tricked me to the lake and wanted to kick me into the lake, but he accidentally fell in.
I educated him and told him that it was wrong to tease others.
We had a good chat, and he was not a bad person at heart, and he proactively admitted to writing the threatening letter.
The content of the letter also matches."
"Thank you, you solved a problem for me.
Go and change out of your wet clothes, Chanelle Carr is coming, I’ll introduce you to her.”
Luke reminded, "Don't tell Ms. Carl about the threatening letter yet."
"I understand." Fon Cruz nodded slightly.
