Chapter 247
“The landlord said the couple usually treated their daughter quite well and didn’t expect them to be so ruthless to their child now… Charles continued, “The landlord also said that the couple’s relationship was quite harmonious, but around 2003, Ethan’s temperament suddenly changed drastically. He started drinking and gambling, and for some reason, he studdenly became rich.
The landlord remembered is well because the couple often fell behind on their rent. That time, they were behind on the rent again. In the end, when the landlord came to ask for rent, the drunk Ethan suddenly rushed out angrily and threw a stack of money at him, telling him to get lost,
The landlord was angry and afraid, so he called the police. In the end, he didn’t know if Ethan had sobered up and realized his mistake or what, but before the police arrived, Ethan and his family packed their things and moved away.
“They moved back to the village. You should know what happened after that.” said Charles.
Matthew’s eyes narrowed.
He indeed knew everything after that. Valerie’s diary recorded everything.
Charles sighed. “I reckon that Ethan must have participated in the underground gambling back then and suddenly made a windfall. Later, he was afraid that the police would find out about him, so he quickly ran away, Gamblers are the most unreasonable group of people. Everyone who participates in gambling will become irritable and unstable.”
There was no need for Charles to elaborate on this point. Fred was such a person. Matthew knew t
Although the information that Charles found was a little suspicious, it seemed to make sense.

well.
But 2003 Matthew frowned slightly. He felt that he had heard this year before.
“Mr. Gram, from the looks of it, Mrs. Grant is indeed their child.” Charles sighed. “Unfortunately, this couple doesn’t treat their child as a human. I hope that such a thing won’t happen again
“There won’t be an again. The thought of Valerie’s parents made Mathew disgusted.
Manhew hung up the phone calmly.
After he hung up the phone last night, he returned to the living room and saw Valerie nestled on the sofa, chatting and laughing with his grandparents as they flipped through the photo album. For some reason, he suddenly wished she could always be this comfortable.
Although there was still half a
a year between them, if Matthew decided on someone, he would protect the other party at all costs and treat her well!
The car stopped at Slomond Estate’s garage. Matthew and Valerie took the elevator upstairs.
When Valerie entered the password and opened the door, she suddenly heard Matthew say, “Valerie, if you have any wishes, I can help you fulfill them once.
After saying that, Matthew was also stunned, wondering how he could say such mushy words, It was not his style.
In the end, Valerie, standing opposite him, was also stunned. Her eyes widened in shock.
Matthew was confused. It’s only fulfilling a wish. There is no need to be so touched, right?“.
“Mr. Grant,” Valerie finally spoke. She was shocked and anxious. “Peanut is missing?”
“Peanut” Matthew was at a loss.
ני
He remembered. Peanut seems to be the name of the little bald hamster she keeps
He glanced sideways at the entrance. As expected, the cage door was half open, and the cage was empty. It was obvious that the hamster had “escaped“!
The door got broken that day. After that, he called someone to fix the door. Then, he returned once but paid no attention to the hamster. He could not even tell when the hamster had escaped.
Matthew frownrd.
Valerie quickly took off her shoes. Then, she turned on the lights and entered the house. She looked around and said to Matthew, “Mr. Grant, help me look for him. Peanut must have had nothing to eat for too long and escaped because he was starving. We have to find him quickly!”
Valerie talked for a long time, but Matthew did not make a move. She thought Matthew did not want to help her, so she panicked. “Mr. Grant, didn’t you just say you could help me fulfill a wish I want you to help me find Peanut.
The lule hamster had accompanied her for more than a year
She didst want the harder to starve to deat in a comer because of her ne
Mathew still standing at the decor with a dark expression
She suddenly underwood something and was surprised “Mc Geant, are you afraid of hamsters?”
Matthew was at a low for words at that moment
Then he said immediately. “No”
