Genius Kids' Scheme Claiming Daddy's Billionaire Empire novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277

The next day at Adam’s place, morning light streamed through the windows, turning the air into something warm and golden where tiny dust specks floated and sparkled.

Irene touched her arm where fading bruises still showed yellowish marks. She caught Adam watching, his eyes darkening before he quickly looked away.

At the table, three kids bent over paper

er with serious faces. Dr. Jonathan moved between them, giving quiet tips as paintbrushes moved and pencils scratched.

“Got a minute?” Jonathan came over to Irene,

“Sure, what’s up?” She put down her tea, breathing

ontaining his excitement

the jasmine smell.

“There’s this awesome youth art show coming to town,” he said, rocking on his heels. “Your kids are super talented–way better than my other students. I already signed them up.” His smile turned a bit sheepish.

Irene’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.

“It’s perfect for them,” he continued quickly. “All the big private schools send their best students. Great for making friends, building confidence–really helps kids grow.”

Hene glanced at Adam across the room, something passing between them without words. That silent understanding made her heart

skip in a way she wasn’t ready to think about.

“That sounds great,” she said. “Thanks for looking out for them.”

“I’ll be there too,” Adam added, his tone casual but final.

Three heads popped up instantly.

“Uncle Adam’s coming with us?” Lucas nearly tipped his chair in excitement.

Something changed in Adam’s face–all the hard lines softening into someone completely different, someone most people never got

to see.

“We’re gonna do awesome!” Lucas punched the air, almost knocking over his drink.

Jonathan caught his arm mid–swing. “Easy there, buddy. Careful with your masterpiece.”

“My picture’s gonna be the most beautiful one!” Lily carefully picked up her drawing, walking over to Adam with big, hopeful eyes.

Alex stayed quieter than his brother and sister, but couldn’t hide his smile. His eyes moved between Adam and his mom, seeing something the grown–ups were still pretending wasn’t there.

“Did I hear something about an art show?” Brandon appeared in the doorway. “Uncle Brandon says you’ll crush the competition! And winners get special prizes from me!”

“Really?” Lucas’s mouth fell open.

“When have I ever let you down?” Brandon winked, though something flashed in his eyes as he watched Adam surrounded by the

kids.

“We’re gonna win everything! Lily wrapped herself around Brandon’s legs.
