Chapter 357 Reckless Coerced Drinking

Joel was all playful smiles as he spoke, revealing the gap in his teeth.

Huxley glared at him and reprimanded, "Dr. Gilbert came all the way here because he thinks highly of

us. Sure, he gave us a few thousand but how much did you contribute?!"

Joel backtracked. "I was just joking. Why are you getting so riled up? Come, let's drink!"

Huxley ignored him.

Joel, however, continued to persuade him to drink with words implying that he wouldn't forgive him if he

didn't drink and that even the clinking of wine glasses would be enough!

Huxley was a fool who caved in because he didn't want to argue with a relative. They were, after all,

going to see each other often in the coming days. He took a small sip.

Ruby, who witnessed it, was angered and began to chew Joel out.

Joel threw an arm around Huxley's shoulder. "Uncle Hux and I are getting along just fine over here.

What is he supposed to eat if everything is bad? I even gave him our family's own medicinal wine. It's

good for the body!"

"Look at how rosy he looks now!"

He didn't take her seriously at all and only saw Ruby as someone making a big deal out of nothing. She

clearly looked down on him!

Ruby was about to throw a fit but her cousin stopped her. "Forget it. Uncle Hux is doing just fine. He

was just trying to ask him for forgiveness. He doesn't have any bad intentions…"

She huffed in vexation and disappeared back into the kitchen.

Everyone let loose after Gilbert left and drank themselves silly. Joel turned to a little boy who was

enjoying his chicken, and said with a smile, "Hey, Johnny. Are you thirsty? Come, I'll get you a drink."

The child, in his curiosity, took a big gulp from excitement, only to burst into tears when the bitter wine

went down his throat.

The entire family fell into chaos. The child's mother was Ruby's cousin who was busying herself in the

kitchen. She went off on Joel.

"Are you crazy? Stop tricking children into drinking wine!"

Joel didn't seem to care at all. "Men would have to drink sooner or later. Isn't it better for him to start

young?"

He found amusement in watching the child wail. Ruby's cousin couldn't be bothered to argue and left

with the child.

The little boy, lying on his mother's shoulder, began to grow lethargic.

None of the people present had any idea what to do and assumed the child had gotten drunk. He'd be

better after a nap.

Ruby's cousin put the child to bed when she noticed he had fallen asleep and went back to work.

…

Lilly, meanwhile, was comfortably ensconced in the backseat of Gilbert's car as he drove. She made no

fuss.

He shot the girl a glance and was just about to speak when a shadow darted in front of the car!

He hit the brakes as quickly as he could and had the car roll to a halt. He wasn't speeding anyway.

He opened his eyes to see a tabby cat rolling on the floor.

The car was obviously several inches away but it acted as if it had been hit by a car as it yowled in

misery.

It looked as if it were challenging him to walk away from it without first providing compensation.

Gilbert was dumbfounded.

This was his first time witnessing a cat staging an accident!

"Uncle Gilbert? What's wrong?" Lilly asked.

He pointed ahead. "Isn't that the cat you were playing with earlier, Lilly?"

Lilly looked out.

It was!

Didn't it run away? Why was it here?

Gilbert got out of the car and carried Lilly in his arms.

Both adult and child stared wordlessly at the cat.

"The heavens are witness here. I didn't touch you. Look how far you are from the car."

He gestured.

The cat didn't look like it cared at all. It continued to lie on the ground.

"..."

"..."

Lilly cautioned the cat. "Hey, kitty. We're in the middle of the road. It's dangerous to stay here. A car

could crush you flat like a pancake."

She said as she took to the side of the road.

Both Gilbert and Lilly stood there staring at the cat.

Their jaws dropped when the cat got to its feet to move to a safer area and…collapsed again.

Huh? What?

"Kitty lied! It's walking just fine!" Lilly exclaimed.

It got up again, this time dragging its hind legs, as it laid under the car.

When did its legs get broken?

"Hey now. Aren't you being a little too obvious at this point?" Gilbert said.

The tabby cat squinted but didn't get up.

"What should we do, Uncle Gilbert?" Lilly asked in confusion.

Does it hold a grudge because I used it as a weapon?

Do I pay it? But it can't buy anything with the money!

Gilbert pointed at the car. "I have a dashcam."

It's foolproof! I'm not going to let a cat blackmail me today!

The cat couldn't be bothered.

Lilly was at a loss. "What does it want, Uncle Gilbert?!"

Pablo stroked his chin and stared at the tabby cat with great interest. "Interesting. It wants you to take it

home?"

"Huh?" She muttered, worried.

She had no doubt the cat would bully Polly should she take it home.

Polly enjoyed hopping around in the garden and sometimes pecked at the tree barks when she had

nothing better to do.

Cats moved swiftly. They could also climb trees. Adopting it would mean keeping Polly in the room…

She didn't want to act so irresponsibly toward Polly but she also felt bad for the cat.

She couldn't keep the cat locked away either. The pets would no doubt get into a fight. Polly would just

get beaten up.

What if the cat already had an owner? Wouldn't I be a baddie who catnapped a kitty?!

Lilly was stuck in a dilemma as she knelt by the tabby cat's side.

She held out five fingers. "Five cans of dried fish?"

The tabby cat didn't bother to look at her.

She gritted her teeth and held out another five. "Ten cans of dried fish!"

The tabby cat shot her a look as if to say it didn't care.

It didn't seem to want food at all and refused to get up no matter how she tried to bargain with it.

Gilbert watched it all go down.

The four-year-old child was trying to negotiate terms with a cat.

It was a cute but confusing sight.

He recorded a video and sent it to the family group chat.

"A cat acted up on our way home. It doesn't want a hundred cans of cat food. It wants us to take it

home. Want to know what happens next? Me too!"
