The Day I Bought a Villain a Lollipop Chapter 2

[The villain is so pitiful. Kicked out of the Vance family the moment they found out he wasn't their biological son. And now he runs into these awful siblings!]

[No wonder he turns dark later and chops up everyone who hurt him to feed the fishes! Only the heroine ever showed him warmth.]

[The villain's real dad is a ruthless boss in both the underworld and legitimate business! Once they reunite, the first thing he does is use these siblings as bait for sharks!]

Shark bait?

I shuddered, an image of a fishhook piercing my cheek flashing in my mind.

"Brother!" I scrambled over and hugged Caleb's leg. "Wait!"

Caleb froze. "Sunny?"

I pulled the last lollipop from my pocket and held it out to Julian. "Big Brother, do you have no money? I'll treat you to some candy!"

Julian's gaze shifted from cold to confused.

He looked at me, then at Caleb, and finally at the strawberry lollipop.

"Sunny, what are you doing?" Caleb whispered.

I winked at him frantically, standing on my toes to whisper in his ear, "Brother, I hear police sirens."

The text said the heroine would pass by in five minutes and call the police for Julian.

Startled, Caleb pulled his sleeve down and retracted his foot.

Julian slowly sat up, wiping the blood from his face with his sleeve, but didn't take the candy.

"Are you together?" His voice was hoarse but surprisingly pleasant.

"No!" I shook my head vigorously. "We were just passing by! My brother... he saw you were hurt and came to help!"

Caleb stared at me wide-eyed, as if asking, Are you crazy?

Julian let out a cold laugh, using the wall to stand up.

He was half a head taller than Caleb. Even covered in injuries, he couldn't hide his innate nobility.

"Help me?" He pointed to the footprint on his wrist. "Like this?"

I thought fast. "My brother is practically blind! Yeah! He steps on me all the time at home!"

Caleb: ????

Julian's gaze shifted between us, finally settling on the lollipop in my hand.

Unexpectedly, he reached out and took it.

"Thanks," he said softly.

Caleb didn't understand why I lied, but he picked me up and stepped back. "Since you're okay... uh... we're leaving now. Sunny, let's go home."

As we turned to leave, I saw a jade pendant revealed by Julian's open collar.

It glowed with a warm green light, carved with intricate lotus patterns.

Text floated by again:

[Didn't these siblings steal the jade pendant the villain's grandmother left him? Why did the plot change?]

[Only the grandmother insisted on keeping him after finding out he wasn't biological. Sadly, she died of a stroke two days ago.]

[The heroine, Bella, saw everything from the alley entrance and secretly called the police! They'll be here in a minute!]

[Just wait, in five days, the big boss will find him and spoil him rotten. But! The boss gets gunned down protecting the villain in a gang fight. The villain is always torn between redemption and darkness.]

I trembled, nearly falling from Caleb's arms.

Steal the pendant?

Wouldn't that make Julian hate us to the bone?

Thank god we didn't!

And the police were almost here!

"Brother!" I tugged urgently at Caleb. "We have to help this Big Brother catch the bad guys!"

Caleb looked confused. "What bad guys? They ran away ages ago!"

Before he finished, hurried footsteps approached from the alley entrance.

Three officers rushed in. The leading policewoman shouted, "Nobody move!"
