My Dady BR 422
Chapter 422 Lost Award
“That ungrateful brat!”
Finished
Had it not been for what the abbot had said earlier, Valda wouldn't have even bothered to spare her a second thought.
She's so ungrateful!
Valda placed a hand over her chest, taking a deep breath to calm herself. After a moment, her stern expression eased, and she made her way downstairs
The Nelson family had organized a grand welcome banquet for Maxwell at the villa they had purchased in Sudbay years ago, and they were waiting for Valda's arrival.
Leah approached her gently, her voice filled with concern. “Grandma, are you feeling alright? You don't look too well."
Valda patted Leah's hand affectionately, her gaze softening. "I'm fine, my dear. You're so thoughtful, always looking out for me."
A small, icy smirk flickered in Valda's eyes, though Leah caught it instantly.
Leah leaned closer, resting her head on Valda's shoulder, her eyes gleaming with playful sweetness. "Of course, I'm your favorite granddaughter. I'm always here to look after you!”
Valda, still simmering with anger from her earlier conversation with Charmaine, felt a surge of satisfaction as she looked at Leah now.
After all, only a child raised in the Nelson family can truly be relied on!
The abbot's words about returning things to their rightful place were surely meant for Leah, not that rebellious outsider.
Valda gripped Leah's hand tightly as they settled into their seats.
“Everyone, let's raise our glasses to congratulate Maxwell, our family's hero, and his teammate, Liam, for their victorious return!” Willard called out, his voice loud and clear, prompting the guests to stand and offer
a toast.
Liam's face beamed with joy, and even Maxwell, usually so composed, allowed a small smile to grace his lips.
The family, in high spirits, chatted freely, bringing up the bracelet from earlier. But this time, there was no shock or panic. By now, everyone was convinced that Maxwell's safe return was thanks to Leah's good fortune.
Maxwell responded with his usual quiet acknowledgment, not bothering to challenge the claim.
Liam, thoroughly enjoying the moment, drank two more glasses, flashing Leah a sly grin—the kind they shared in private.
Leah smiled sweetly, her tone modest, "It's really Maxwell and Liam's skill and teamwork that made this mission a success. I'm iust lucky to be around them."

They had spent most of their time in the military, with little chance for anything beyond training-let alone
romance.
Years ago, when Maxwell first joined the team, Leah had visited. That was when Liam first noticed her. captivated by the delicate princess she appeared to be.
It was only natural for him to feel protective of someone like her.
Hearing her praise him now, calling him capable, made Liam feel as if he were floating
But just as he basked in the moment, his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Liam grinned and waved Maxwell closer. “Maxwell, it's our commander. Do you think the results of our award have come in?"
He flashed a wide grin, answering the phone and putting it on speaker so everyone could hear the good
news.
“Commander, is there good news for us? I'm hoping for a third-class merit, don't you think?"
But before Liam could finish speaking, the commander's furious voice erupted from the speaker.
"Heh, Liam! You really think you can get away with this? You've just finished your mission, and now you're trying to incite theft? Let me tell you something-you can forget about any merit. Because of your outrageous behavior, which amounts to theft, you're being removed from your position. Maxwell, as your commander, should have kept a better eye on his men. The award is canceled!"
Everyone around the table froze, shocked by the sudden turn of events.
Liam's alcohol-induced happiness vanished in an instant. "Wh-what? ...”
His voice faltered, and for a moment, he looked as though something had taken the air from his lungs, his face turning pale.
Maxwell grabbed the phone from Liam's shaking hands and spoke with a deep, steady voice. "Commander, I've been with Liam the entire time. There must be some misunderstanding.”
Liam's demotion meant Maxwell had lost his award too. Valda, flustered, quickly

The commander's voice was cold and scornful. “Misunderstanding? Wronged? You idiot! That young girl reported everything to us, and we have it all on tape. Mall security and the manager all clearly saw Liam
ordering two thieves to steal from her. The thieves were caught and taken to the police, with all the evidence we need. And you still want to deny it? You think I'll let you off the hook, Maxwell? You can't even manage your subordinate, and now you're complaining about your lost award? Are you planning to confront the police about it and embarrass yourself further?”
