Kit picked up the phone and saw that it was his father calling.
Without even thinking, he knew what his father wanted to say.
Just hold on a little longer, he told himself, as long as he can endure until he has enough ability to earn more money and pave the way for his future, then he can break free from his father's control.
He answered the call, and sure enough, his father's voice came through the phone, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to entertain Mr. Perkins properly? Why did Mr. Perkins say you're ignorant? And what's going on with the Stephenson family's young lady and Chandler?"
Because Mr. Perkins was vague in his complaint on the phone, Edmond had to call and ask himself.
"When Mr. Perkins acted inappropriately towards me, Miss. Stephenson happened to witness it, so she gave him a beating. Then Mr. Hunter came to find Miss. Stephenson and saw the scene." Kit answered simply and clearly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and after a while, his father spoke again, "What about Miss. Stephenson..."
"Miss. Stephenson seemed to have heard Mr. Perkins mention your name, so she also knows that you asked me to entertain him in order to gain better resources." Kit said.
He could almost imagine how ugly his father's face must be at this moment.
Actually, if he could, he really didn't want Tina to know about this. He hoped that in her eyes, he would still be glamorous and bright, still the shining one.
But now, he had presented the rotten thing beneath that glamour in front of her.
"Stay in your room for the next two days and don't come out!" Edmond said these words and hung up the phone.
Kit shrugged and casually threw the phone aside.
Anyway, he had planned to stay here and heal for the next two days, not going anywhere!
