He felt that something wasnt right. He wanted to shut the door right away, but it was too late.
The man at the front said sorry without any expression and knocked
Joey out.
When he woke up, he found himself in a strange room.

After sensing trouble, he immediately left the room and wandered around. He wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
However, the moment he went downstairs, servants gathered around to stop him.
Kid, you misunderstood. Mary, the housekeeper, came out of the kitchen when she heard that the child and the servants were arguing.
She hurried to his side and gave him a pleasing smile to coax him.
Dont be scared. We mean no harm.
Joeys eyes were full of vigilance.
Whats wrong with you? I asked you to look after our guest, but you made him misunderstand us! If Madam knew, you will all get in big trouble! With a long face, Mary turned to the servants behind him and scolded them.
Hearing this, the servants made a ninety-degree bow to Joey and apologized.
Joeys eyes narrowed when he saw this.
If it had been someone else, they would have most likely waived their hands and claimed it didnt matter. They mightve even remained obediently here. Unfortunately, Joey already saw through their trick.
Every day at the Red Hackers headquarters, he would see the others do the same good cop, bad cop trick. He had been tired of it for a long time, and the people in front of him were terrible in acting.
See, little one? They already apologized to you. Mary smiled.

So dont be angry with them, okay? Ive already asked the chef to prepare some desserts for you. Would you Like some? I will personally send you back when the time is right.
Joey looked at her and remained silent.
Marys heart skipped a beat unexpectedly when she peered into his eyes. Joeys eyes were brilliant and clear, but they were also tranquil. She felt a subtle sense of pressure, as though he had seen right through her.
But he was just a three-year-old child. How could he be so smart?
Mary looked away instantly.
Bring the desserts here.
After that, she turned to Joey and said, Kid, how about you go sit on the sofa?
Joey stared up at Mary and realized that no matter how hard he tried, he wouldnt be able to leave this place easily.
He pursed his lips in a thin line and made his way to the living room.
