Her heart raced as she asked anxiously, “What happened to Sonny?”
Serenity paused for a moment before choosing to be honest. “You know my sister asked her husband for a divorce, right? After that, the Browns took advantage of her distraction to kidnap Sonny and sent him to Chelsea’s house.”
“But they didn’t take good care of him. Chelsea’s younger son hit Sonny, and when Sonny fought back, the younger boy ran crying to his older brother, who sought revenge on Sonny, even though he was the one who started it. That little brat beat Sonny so badly that he had to be hospitalized.”
Elisa immediately felt a surge of anger. “Serenity, why didn’t you tell me about something so serious? I told you to let me know, and I’d definitely help you. How is Sonny now? Has his attacker been caught?”
Setting aside the fact that Sonny might be her aunt’s grandson, she couldn’t bear to hear that he had been attacked simply because he was so adorable, and she genuinely liked him.
“Sonny has a soft tissue injury to his face that hasn’t healed yet. His attacker also kicked him twice. I saw the security camera footage; Sonny was sent flying about a meter away. I want to tear that attacker apart for this! But… he’s just a kid too, around ten years old.”
No matter how big and tough Matthew Repton appeared, his age was the key factor—he was merely a ten-year-old boy.
“We’ve reported it to the police, but since he’s just a child, the focus is on education. They can’t arrest him and can only encourage his parents to impose strict discipline. Right now, my husband and I are going to discuss compensation with them.”
“Sonny experienced a tremendous shock and fainted on the spot. Last night, when we left the hospital and returned home, he had a high fever and couldn’t stop…
He only managed to fall asleep in my sister’s arms this morning after his fever decreased and he wore himself out from crying. “A ten-year-old kid was cruel enough to beat Sonny? And they’re cousins, right? Your sister’s sister-in-law is truly a rare specimen. With a mother like that, how can anyone expect her children to turn out well? Serenity, send me the location. I’ll gather a few cars of people to go over. They won’t fight; they’ll just scare them a little so they won’t bully Sonny again.”
Elisa was furious upon hearing all this. She was fiercely protective, and no matter the reasons behind the attack on Sonny, she would always side with him. “My husband has already called all his cousins over. There are about eight or nine people there now. I don’t need your help with that for the time being.”
Serenity thanked Elisa but politely declined her offer to bring more people. Elisa’s temperament was quite volatile. Their visit to the Reptons today was solely for negotiation. Serenity was concerned that if Elisa accompanied them, she might lose her temper and lash out at the Reptons. It was sufficient to have just the York cousins with them. “Your husband has that many cousins?”
