?<strong>Chapter 1404:</strong>


    After a moment’s thought, she made a decision. This was something Andrew needed to handle. As Collier’s father, it was his responsibility to guide their son before things spiraled any further.


    That evening, Madisyn recounted everything to Andrew. He listened intently, his expression unreadable as he mulled over the situation.


    After a long pause, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally spoke. “I’ll have someone take care of the bullying problem. But as for Collier, he needs to take responsibility for his actions. When the semester is over, I’ll have him stay with my maternal grandfather for a month.”


    Madisyn immediately understood what Andrew was getting at. Parental love wasn’t just about protecting their children—it was about preparing them for the future.


    And if this incident proved anything, it was that Collier’s temperament wasn’t as steady as Lilyana’s. If they ignored this now, he might grow up thinking every problem could be solved with his fists. Denby’s education was strict, disciplined—exactly what Collier needed at this point in his life.


    “Alright. We’ll talk to Denby and set it up.”


    When the semester ended, Lilyana, concerned about her younger brother, decided to apany him to Denby’s.


    Before they left, the two of them bid farewell to Cn. Collier said, “Cn, my sister and I are both leaving. What are you going to do all by yourself?”


    Cn chuckled, unfazed. “Don’t worry about me. I’m feeling a lot better now. I think I’ll take the opportunity to travel a bit—see the world.”


    Each of them had their own ns for the break, and with that, they set off on their separate paths, promising to reunite before the new semester began.


    A monthter, the trio reunited. Cn had returned from his travels abroad, and the Klein siblings were back home.


    Not long after, Cn showed up at their doorstep with gifts in hand. It was clear that, in the time they’d been apart, the two siblings had changed.


    Cn noticed it right away. Lilyana carried herself with more restraint. But it was Collier who had changed the most. The wild energy in his eyes had settled, and his once yful demeanor was reced with something more mature.

    The transformation surprised Cn, and both Lilyana and Collier could sense a difference in him—his presence felt calmer, steadier, as if his journey had shifted something within him too.


    “It’s been a while. I’ve missed you guys.”


    With that, Cn handed the siblings their gifts.


    He had traveled to many ces, picking up souvenirs from each one, ensuring his friends received more than just a single token.


    Collier eagerly tore into his presents with the excitement of a child on Christmas morning, delighting in every item. His curiosity soon got the best of him, and he leaned over to peek at what Lilyana had received.


    Collier suddenly furrowed his brow in confusion. “Hey, howe Lilyana got one more present than me?” he asked, a hint of indignation in his voice.


    Lilyana carefully counted the presents for both herself and her brother. The realization dawned on her that she indeed possessed one more than him. The additional gift was an exquisite brooch, clearly expensive, its craftsmanship distinctly different from the souvenirs Cn had brought back from his journey.
