"Actually, the real situation isn't like what you just saw..."

Leon placed the whimpering red-haired director on the sofa, pulled a blanket over her, and then turned to face Miss Crasher and Joshua, making an effort to clarify:

"The director got drunk and was talking nonsense just now. We didn't do anything to betray Veronica."

"Ha."

Upon hearing this, Prince Freckles couldn't help but let out a chuckle. He instinctively wanted to make a sarcastic remark but suddenly felt a slight chill on his face, realizing that Leon's gaze was already fixed on his right cheek. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"..."

Hmph, just a brute who only knows how to use his fists. I can't be bothered to stoop to your level!

Faced with Leon's slightly raised right hand, Prince Freckles magnanimously chose to forgive his brother-in-law's actions, turned his head, and left the director's office. Meanwhile, Miss Crasher involuntarily shivered, then nodded repeatedly, saying:

"Right, right, it must have been the wrong time for me to come. There must be nothing going on between you and Director Olivia."

"..."

Forget it, I know I'm innocent, you can think whatever you want!

Leon nodded somewhat helplessly, then glanced at the red-haired director who was lying sideways under a thin blanket on the sofa, having fallen asleep at some point. He then requested:

"Layla, I need to go home for a bit. Could you please look after the director?"

"Huh? I... can I do it?"

"Just keeping an eye on her will do. The director might have drunk a bit too much today, but she won't cause any trouble. You just need to hold her back when she starts acting up, to prevent her from saying anything out of line."

"Oh, okay, I should be able to handle that."

"Thanks a lot."

After entrusting the director to Miss Crasher, Leon glanced at the brightening sky outside, then got up and slipped out through the window of the director's office, heading back to the [Happy Apartments] via the mirror world.

Accompanied by the puppy's milky bark, Leon made his way through the mirrors along Ship Bridge Street, finally emerging from the window of the sixth floor of the Happy Apartments. He deftly slid down the windowsill and returned to his own bedroom.

Indeed, only this place feels like my real home.

Looking at the room, still spotless and neat after being away for over ten days, Leon couldn't help but relax slightly, inexplicably feeling a deep-seated tranquility emanating from his soul.

The Lionheart Prince of the Kingdom of Lutung, the Aquarius Director of the Clearance Bureau, the Food God in the mouth of the Slaughter King Association... While these are also aspects of me, it might sound a bit pretentious to say so; these prestigious or notorious versions of myself are merely outer shells applied to "Leon."

But only in this small room, the self that lives amidst Anna and others' complaints and expectations, truly grows on "Leon," keeping me from becoming a solitary soul, is an irreplaceable special existence.

Ah, coming home is so nice~

Leon, lying sideway on the edge of the bed with the bedspread arranged, opened his arms and lay back on the soft pillow. Just as he was about to let out a relaxing sigh, something hard jabbed his neck.

Feels like...?

Reaching under the pillow and pulling out the hard object that had poked him, Leon squinted as he inspected the item in his hand by the morning light that streamed through the window.

A small notebook with a thick hard cover, featuring three cartoonish little pigs on the cover. Opening it to the front page, there were two crooked words written in colored crayon...

An account book?

Hmm... William doesn't have a habit of keeping accounts, Anna's accounting book is in the kitchen drawer, and this is clearly something belonging to Melanie.

Hesitant for a moment with his little sister's account book in hand, Leon ultimately couldn't hold back his curiosity and flipped through it, immediately understanding why it ended up under his pillow.

Although Anna has a gentle temperament, she unexpectedly takes a stern approach to education. She's always on high guard with the two trouble-making devils, and an accounting book wouldn't be easy to hide. The only place she wouldn't thoroughly check is Leon's room.

Flipping through the account book with interest, seeing a series of entries involving ghostwriting homework, forging teachers' handwriting to write notes skipping classes, or even signing low-score exam papers and rewriting parents' opinion forms, Leon couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, the original accumulation of capital truly harbors sin... and violates quite a few school rules. If Anna saw what's inside this account book, it would surely result in a spanking~

Shaking his head slightly, just asLeon was about to put the account book down, he suddenly noticed a curious new "entry."

"Informer fee, 2 Silver Wheels per week."

Informer fee... could it be the kind of informer fee I'm thinking of?

Looking at the crayon marking next to the informer fee, which was the same exclusive green frog symbol as Veronica's "sister-in-law investment," the corner of Leon's mouth slightly twitched. He then turned back to the piggy account book's front page, finding the small-font project notes on the back cover.

"Help the generous sister-in-law keep an eye on the philandering big brother, prevent malicious women from ruining the brother-sister-in-law relationship, and collect a weekly informer fee from sister-in-law. If specific findings are made, the informer fee for that week doubles, along with an additional special investment from sister-in-law…"

"..."

While these are harmless entries, flouting school rules over time isn't advisable... Hmm... Don't blame your brother ~

Seeing a string of green frog informer fee marks in the account book, Leon silently closed Melanie's account book and hid it in the cupboard grid outside the curtain, knowing that dust wouldn't settle here as Anna wipes it carefully every two days, ensuring it's 1000% not overlooked.

Kids should focus on studying, not thinking about making money all the time. Big brother is doing this for your own good, this is a lesson of love, definitely not brother's revenge!

Carefully tucking the curtains slightly inward, confirming that Anna would notice immediately upon entering, Leon lay back down in bed, intending to nap a bit before Anna and others woke up. Just then, he heard faint sounds coming from the living room.

Moments later, a slender girl with braided hair on one side, gently opened the door and peeked inside with anticipation. Her eyes, as clear as lakes, immediately filled with waves of joy.

"Brother! You're back."

"Mm, just got back."

Responding as he sat up, seeing his sister still in her sleepwear, Leon spoke somewhat sheepishly:

"Anna, did I wake you with the sound of my footsteps just now?"

"No, no."

Shaking her head hastily, the slender girl curved her beautiful brows and eyes, full of joy, saying:

"I come to your room at this time every morning... Brother, was your business trip smooth this time? Were you hurt? How long can you stay home this time?"
