Everyone suddenly stopped talking.

Alex raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms, and looked at Harper.

Harper picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and looked around strangely. “What are you looking at? What’s there to see?” None of them wanted him to eat, right? All of them were threatening him with sullen faces? But he refused to accept threats! He picked up a piece of eggplant with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He even chewed twice smugly.

In the next second, he tilted his head and spat out the eggplant in his mouth. “What is this!” The eggplant looked shiny, but it was actually not cooked?! It was fine if it was not cooked, but why was it so salty?! He felt like he had eaten a large mouthful of salt!

Harper gulped down two glasses of water and barely came back to his senses. “Damn it, who made this? It tastes terrible! Even dogs won’t eat it!”

No one spoke.

Amelia looked at everyone, then at Harper. Okay, no one was talking, so she wouldn’t say anything either. In fact, she wanted to tell Brother Harper that the chicken was saltier than eggplant…

Harper had not eaten for the entire day and had eaten such a salty eggplant.

At this moment, his stomach felt even worse. His gaze landed on the white cut chicken on the dining table. The chicken was oily and looked delicious. He was about to drool. He picked up a large piece of chicken and placed it in his mouth. The next second, he spat it out!

“Ptui!” Harper spat and drank two large glasses of water. “How is this saltier

than eggplant! Who made it! Is it for people to eat?!”

Alex crossed his arms and said slowly, “l made it.”

Harper’s words trailed off.

Alex looked at Harper coldly. “l don’t like people saying that my dishes aren’t delicious. These two dishes are specially reserved for you. Eat them all.” Harper: “…”

Alex: “Oh, right, the vegetables are salty, right? Mrs Taylor, bring a bowl of water.”

Harper’s throat tightened. “What what do you need fresh water for?”

Alex smiled considerately. “For you to dip it.”

Harper was speechless. He sneered. What? Alex was an outsider and wanted to punish him? Since when was it an outsider’s turn to speak in their Walton family?! His father and his grandparents didn’t say anything. Who was he?!

Harper turned to leave. At this moment, Alex suddenly took out his phone and opened the game software. The familiar game sound effects came out.

Harper: “…” The scene of being abused in the garden surfaced in his mind. He gritted his teeth and sat down again. Seeing that Mrs Taylor really brought a bowl of clear water, he was even angrier!

Harper glared at Mrs Taylor, then picked up the chicken and placed it in the bowl to rinse it a few times. When he felt that the salty taste was almost washed away, he carefully took a bite. In the end…

Harper was furious. “This chicken is so salty! Meat that has been cured for years is less salty than this! It’s so salty!”

Alex didn’t care if Harper was angry or not. He continued playing the game.

Harper’s eyes widened, and he looked like he was about to slap the table and stand up in the next second. With his previous temper, he would indeed slap the table and stand up. However, strangely, he actually swallowed his anger and sat down. He held his chopsticks and rinsed the chicken resentfully. After rinsing it, he stuffed it into his mouth. He frowned at the saltiness, felt salty and aggrieved, and tears fell.

Mrs. Walton was speechless. She looked at Alex in surprise. That worked? He could subdue Harper just by playing games?

Harper ate a few pieces of chicken and drank countless cups of water. In the end, he couldn’t eat anymore. At this moment, Alex’s game came to an end.

Harper was so angry that he cried. How could anyone bully a child like this?!

“I’m not eating anymore!” Harper really couldn’t take it anymore this time. He took his phone and left angrily! Fine, Alex was ruthless! Didn’t he just defeat him in games? He would win it back sooner or later! No one in this world could control him!

Dylan looked at Harper, who was thumping up the stairs. He was so angry that he was about to have a heart attack.

Mrs. Walton sighed. “Forget it. This child is considered useless.” When Sarah was still around, no one was allowed to interfere with Harper. Every time they interfered with her education, Sarah would strongly object. She would say that she would take care of her child herself and that it would be fine as long as Harper grew up! But children didn’t learn well when they were young. How could they suddenly be obedient when they grew up?

Amelia interrupted like a little adult. “Is it really hopeless?”

Eric curled his lips. “When I was the angriest, 1 hit Harper with a stick. In the end, Harper was playing with his phone on the hospital bed and playing games. He even provoked me and said that I could beat him to death if I had the ability..”
