Please Take Me Home Daddy (by Mona Surrey) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

Laura stood astounded as she watched the men embroiled in a heated argument.

She wondered, “Are they about to present me with monetary gifts?”

The urge to intervene tugged at her, but just then, a message popped up on her watch.

[Leave them be.]

It was a text from Winnie.

While Winnie was driving to her workplace, the phone that Laura had entrusted to her kept buzzing incessantly.

After giving it a check, she discovered a series of substantial wire transfers, all bearing familiar names.

In a matter of moments, Laura’s bank account balance had skyrocketed to millions of dollars.

༥༢,65%

Winnie scoffed as she texted everyone: [You’ve all failed the first test. I’ll return the money. Cease your attempt at bribery with such meager offerings.]

When the Yale family read the message, a collective astonishment washed over them.

Antonio, perplexed by their failure, exchanged uncertain glances with them.

Meanwhile, Winnie set her phone aside with a resolute expression.

Winnie thought, ‘These bunch of scoundrels have lived through life without facing any real challenges. Not only do they carry an overwhelming sense of entitlement, but their attitudes are thoroughly despicable as well.

This time, I must teach them a good lesson.’

In the past, they had subjected Lilian to prejudice and various forms of mental suppression from the very day Lilian was born, all only because of her average intelligence. Yet, they remained oblivious to their actions and firmly believed they were justified.

Lilian had endured great suffering due to their behavior. She had lost her hair, suffered from insomnia, and even wept daily under the weight of stress.

Winnie was a firsthand witness to Lilian’s struggles. She had observed the latter laboring through nights of intense study, eventually earning her place at a prestigious university through her own sheer determination.

In Winnie’s eyes, Lilian stood out as the most remarkable person in the Yale family, and the reason behind the night Lilian with Antonio was rooted in their parents‘ abuse.

They labeled Lilian as incapable of achieving anything, belittling her to the point where she believed she was worthless.

In fact, they even went as far as comparing her to Winnie, asserting that Lilian could never attain what came effortlessly to her sister, no matter how hard Lilian attempted.

On that very day, it happened to be Lilian’s birthday. Upon hearing their hurtful comments, she retorted, “We’ll see, then.”

This led to the scenario where she disguised herself as Winnie and engaged in an affair with the drunken Antonio,

At that moment, rage had surged within Winnie. Yet, amid her frustration, she felt a profound sorrow to see Lilian subjecting herself to such degradation.

Despite it being Antonio who spent the night with Zealyn, Winnie didn’t think Zealyn deserved this.

She held the belief that her little sister deserved to be with a more outstanding man.

However, Lilian was overly concerned with how others perceived her. She yearned for her family’s approval and true acceptance, but her efforts to regain their favor only revealed their bias. Slowly, she descended into self–destructive despair, ultimately meeting a tragic end.

Lilian’s fate served as a clear warning, urging Winnie to take heed.

Winnie wished these people would genuinely like Laura. Otherwise, she would not care to maintain ties with them anymore.

She was determined to prevent another tragedy like Lilian’s from happening again.

Antonio anxiously stared at his phone. A thought struck him, and he urgently grasped Laura’s arm. “Lala, can you tell me if Aunt Winnie has ever talked to you about the key to passing?”

Laura shook her head, looking clueless.

Meanwhile, the variety show was about to begin filming.

Robert beckoned to Laura and said, “Lala, come over here!”

She hurriedly ran over, clutching a bunch of flowers in her hand. “I’m coming!”

The filming of the variety show coincided perfectly with Laura’s hurried approach to Robert, with the bunch of flowers still clutched in her hand. In a cheerful tone, she called out, “Daddy!”

Live comments began flooding in, with someone starting: [Aww, my sweet daughter!]

[My darling! I finally got to see you! Boohoo! Do you know how hard my days have been recently?]

[Why is Lala holding a bunch of flowers?]

[Could it be that our Lala has fans now? Did a fan give her these? But aren’t the flowers a little too big? Haha!]

A genuine smile graced Robert’s face as he bent down to hug the girl. “Who gave you the flowers?”

Laura’s eyes sparkled as she pointed toward Antonio. “It was that man over there. He wanted to give them to his wife, but she didn’t want them, so he gave them to me.”

Both Robert and Antonio appeared puzzled by her words.

The barrage of live comments continued. [LOL! So, it’s just a regift, then?]

[I’m dying! I really want to know which guy is embarrassing himself like this in a livestream.]

With a gentle chuckle, Robert took the flowers from her. “All right, then. I’ll hold onto them for you. Did you miss me?”

Laura nodded earnestly. “Yes!”

Leaning closer, Robert planted a sincere kiss on her cheek. “I missed you too.”

The man was starting to realize just how adorable this little girl was.

As expected, the comment section was again swarmed with endless comments. [Holy moly! A kiss from the best actor himself!]

[I can’t believe I’m jealous of a kid!]

[I identify as Laura’s cheek right now.]

[He’s still so fond of our daughter.]

[Can I switch bodies with Laura at once? Can I be her? Can I?]

”

In the meantime, Louis stood outside the filming site with a displeased expression. “Isn’t this fellow being too affectionate? I can’t believe he actually kissed the child!”

All of a sudden, their phones buzzed with notifications.

Winnie had created a group chat and added everyone except their parents.

Winnie: [Robert has passed the first test. +1 point.]

Louis was baffled. “Is kissing Laura the key to passing the first test?”

Antonio stared at his phone in disbelief. Then, a sudden realization dawned on him, and he strode purposefully toward

Laura.

“Antonio, where are you going?” asked Louis.

Antonio’s expression remained resolute as he took long strides. “To kiss Laura.”

Joshua quickly grabbed the man. “Are you out of your mind? They’re filming a variety show right now. If you barge in like that, you’ll just be seen as a pervert, and this is being livestreamed!”

Antonio came to a halt and abruptly snapped back to his senses. He then pulled out his phone and dialed his assistant’s number. “It’s me. Bring the Plan B cars here.”

A hushed silence fell over everyone as they gazed at him in astonishment.

Shortly after, a line of G–Wagons began to move, making their way toward the film set.

Laura’s attention was caught by the approaching vehicles, leaving her momentarily stunned. Robert followed her gaze, and his countenance underwent a subtle shift at what came into his view.

Sensing something amiss in the duo’s expressions, the cameraman swiveled his camera around, capturing a row of G- Wagons with their rears facing the camera.

The scene was so grandiose that it almost seemed like there were bombs inside the automobiles.

Suddenly, a group of black–clad men appeared out of nowhere and flung open the trunks of the cars, revealing a mesmerizing sight of glimmer and radiance.

The live comments showed: [How dazzling! Is that a treasure chest?]

Laura instinctively squinted before gradually widening her eyes, only to find an array of exquisite cakes arranged in the form of cake towers!

Each of the five cars was laden with these cake towers, and they were even decorated with strips of twinkling lights.

To top it off, there was even a life–size cutout of Laura at the side!

The five black–clad men positioned themselves next to the cars and loudly announced with a poker face, “Ms. Yale’s family invites everyone to enjoy cakes and milkshakes! Wishing everyone a smooth filming process!”

A ripple of stupefaction swept through Laura and the crew, rendering them speechless.

The live comments erupted with a flurry of questions as well.

As for the variety show’s guests, their jaws had all dropped in amazement. “Holy shit!”

Even Laura herself was dumbfounded, her gaze unconsciously sweeping over all the men standing across from her.

Among them, Antonio, in particular, appeared composed and self–assured, with a hint of satisfaction on his face.

She saw through him instantly, thinking, “So, it was him?”

Robert was at a loss for words. “What an… extravagant and ostentatious display.”

The towering cake structures seemed magnificent, but the five men in black appeared rather out of place.

Derrick burst into laughter. “My goodness, Lala. Is this a special gift for me from your family?”

Laura nervously tugged at the edge of her skirt, offering an awkward smile in response.

Somehow, she felt the whole spectacle was a tad over–the–top.

However, Carter and the others were thoroughly delighted. “What a pleasant surprise! Let’s thank Lala and her family for their kind gesture!”

The children, completely engrossed in the spectacle, beamed at Laura and chorused, “Thank you, Lala!”

Laura’s heart swelled with joy as she bobbed her head, relieved that most people didn’t find it ostentatious at all.
