Chapter 8 Privacy Sold
“You have to see this, Caitlin! Oh my god, this is hilarious! Retribution comes for all, I say!”
Jordan had just come out from the bathroom when he heard Lily guffaw, and he frowned. “Can you pipe down? So not ladylike. Not only are you old, you’re also rude. No wonder you’re still single at twenty-eight.”
Jordan’s comment triggered Lily again. “What did you say, you brat? Say that one more time, and I’m going to spank your booty.” Lily rolled her sleeves up, looking like a thug.
Jordan looked at her disdainfully before going to his mother. When he was facing Caitlin, the boy had a different attitude. “Leave cleaning up to me, mommy. You should go to the living room and sit for a bit.” Jordan rolled his sleeves up before serving the dishes Caitlin had made, and he even set up the table.
When Lily saw the boy being so nice to his mother, she held back on the aggression. “I’ll let this slide, but just because you’re nice to your mother, you brat.”
“You’re trying to eat for free here, and you’re not even helping out. Are you really a teacher, you old lady?”
Lily was goaded by Jordan once again. “This is my house! You got that?”
“We are paying you rent, so you should pay us for the meal, no?” Jordan looked at her in disdain, prompting Lily to shut up upon his words.
Caitlin coughed when her son was behaving this way. “You shouldn’t talk like this to Lily, Jordan. She’s going to be your teacher, so you can’t be disrespectful.”
Jordan’s face fell. He didn’t want to be taken care of by Lily, but the boy quieted down when he thought of William and Max.
Lily was delighted when she heard Jordan was going to attend the kindergarten where she worked. “Are you going to send him to my kindergarten, Caitlin?”
“Yeah, he needs to be in a kindergarten. I have to work, so I can’t stay with him at home. I heard your kindergarten’s fine, so I’ll be counting on you.”
“Of course.” Lily grinned, while Jordan snorted in disdain.
“So, what were you laughing about earlier?” Caitlin asked after serving the dishes.
Lily remembered the news she saw just now, so she showed Caitlin her phone with a smug grin on her face. “Look at this, Caitlin. Max got pissed on by a kid. This is so satisfying! Someone is finally teaching this f*ckboy a lesson!”
Caitlin reflexively took a look at it after listening to what her friend had said. A little boy had peed on Max in the video. The boy’s face was unclear but Max’s was, especially when he looked furious. Caitlin knew who the boy was, so she looked at her son.
Jordan quickly lowered his head, while Lily yelled, “Hey, brat, you’re the kid in the video, aren’t you? You got the same shirt. Oh my, your willy is impressive.”
That made Jordan blush violently. “You’re a pervert, you old lady!” He quickly got up and went back to his room. I forgot to factor this in! Why did I show my willy?
Caitlin felt amused as she looked at how her son and her friend were behaving. She didn’t know why her son would do this to Max, though she wasn’t against it. I don’t think it’s a big deal to get pissed on by his own son, though a guy like Max must have been mad about this.
“Say, Caitlin, who would even post this online? Don’t they have better things to do?” Lily asked. Caitlin shook her head. “I don’t know, but it’s satisfying.”
“Yeah. That f*ckboy’s lucky he met the brat. I would have poured acid on his face if it were up to me. Oh right, his other son, William, is also studying in my kindergarten. You know, the one he got with Eliza. Are you sure you want to have that brat come to my kindergarten?”
Caitlin’s hands suddenly halted. Their son, huh? She took a deep breath and said calmly, “Jordan’s not going to take any hits lying down. Don’t worry about it.”
“Yeah, I can see that.”
Lily and Caitlin kept on goofing around, but on the other hand, Max was on a rampage in his office. Who posted this online?! “Is the PR department doing nothing? What the hell are they doing about this video now?” Max hurled the phone at Dexter’s face.
Cold sweat was pouring forth from Dexter’s head. He had just noticed this video, but it was already viraled when he wanted to stop its circulation. “We’re doing our best, President Cooper, but the uploader seemed to have installed a Trojan in the video, and it infected our computers. The IT department is trying to solve this right now. Did we offend someone? This is a deliberate attack here.”
Max narrowed his eyes as he listened to the report. Is someone attacking me?
