Chapter 222 Even if not for Violet's sake, he himself wanted to investigate.
"Then let's buy some more oranges to take home and eat, okay?" Brady had a natural fondness for Henry and Nicole, for some reason. Whenever he looked at these two little kids, he couldn't help but dote on them.
Henry's excitement was evident when he heard they could buy a lot of oranges, and he started cheering and clapping his hands.
The adorable kid even amused the lady at the fruit store, who enthusiastically packed the oranges for them while praising them. "Your little one is so handsome! I've been selling fruit here for many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a handsome kid."
"You'll grow up to be a handsome man like your father." The store owner finished packing over a dozen oranges, and continued to flatter them, "Would you like some cantaloupe as well? These are freshly arrived cantaloupes. Kids love them."
Brady had no objections. "Sure."
Violet, on the other hand, didn't like it. What did Brady mean by indulging Henry like this? She quickly went over to stop the store owner's sales pitch and said, "No need, buying some oranges is enough."
Anyway, she could tell that Brady was cold and distant, but he seemed to dote on children. But spoiling them like this would spoil the kids. She was relieved that she had faked the paternity test.
Otherwise, Henry and Nicole would be raised like spoiled rich kids!
She would absolutely not allow it!
"Oh, are those few oranges enough? Kids have big appetites. They'll finish them in no time. Buy some cantaloupe and peaches too." The store owner realized that Brady should be well-off.
After all, this man was dressed in the white shirt and black trousers that people in office buildings would wear, and he even had a black wristwatch. Although the store owner didn't recognize the million-dollar watch, she could tell that the craftsmanship was excellent.
Someone dressed like this wouldn't be short on money, right?
A few pieces of fruit wouldn't be a big problem for him.
"I said no, so it's no. I have to be responsible for my cousin's kids!" Violet emphasized 'cousin's kids', making Brady's thin lips twitch ever so slightly.
How much did she want to prove that these two children weren't his?
"Ah... well then..." The store owner was momentarily frightened by Violet's aggressive manner, but then rolled her eyes and said, "Fine, you're really mean."
"Alright, these oranges will be ten dollars in total." The store owner issued a receipt and handed the oranges to Violet. Violet wanted to pay, but Brady snapped his fingers and a man in black came in quickly to pay for them.
This display startled the store owner.
And the bodyguard, after paying, took the initiative to carry the bags of fruit for them.
Brady casually remarked, "Should we get Henry something else?"
"No need, let's go upstairs," Violet replied. She didn't want to stay outside for too long, fearing that Henry couldn't hold up and reveal their secret. "I don't feel well."
Brady looked at her complexion and considered that she had just recovered from illness, so he didn't force her to carry Henry upstairs with him.
On their way back to the ward, Brady suddenly remembered the poisoning incident and asked, "How is the police investigation going?"
"The surveillance footage was deleted, but they couldn't find out who did it," Violet was willing to talk about the official matters with him.
In fact, as long as it wasn't a private matter, she didn't mind communicating with him.
"What does the Information Department say?"
"They also have no idea how JK's video got deleted," Violet truthfully replied.
Brady nodded, furrowing his brows slightly, and began to contemplate this matter.
Could the Information Department of the Hall family delete the surveillance footage?
Who was this person?
Even if not for Violet's sake, he himself wanted to investigate.
If someone was able to manipulate the strict surveillance of the Hall family, did it mean that the Hall family had a spy?
