“Elijah!” Celeste called out while waving her hand.Elijah walked over with Jeffery who seemed quite pleased to have tagged along.Just as Elijah came close and was about to acknowledge Celeste's presence, Zephyr remarked. “Where did you come from?... Didn't you see me here before you came over?”“Huh?” Elijah raised a brow.“Get lost, or else I'll make you regret coming over here!”Elijah glanced at Celeste who had a frown on her face. “Do you know this man?”“No, actually he is bothering me,” Celeste said.“I see.”“Let's leave,” Celeste said as she got to her feet.Since Zephyr didn't wish to excuse her, then she would just change locations.It was as simple as that.“To where?” Elijah asked.“I know of this cool Chinese place in the suburbs. It's not fancy, but their food is definitely to die for.”“How did you find such a place?” Elijah couldn't help but ask. “Hmmph, because I'm rich doesn't mean I can't explore the suburbs.”“I see.” Elijah thought nothing of the change and so

After Elijah told Jeffery how to handle Barolt and Zephyr, he quickly left to pick up Claire.By the time he arrived, it was peak hour for parents to pick up their children after school was over.Due to the last incident that happened, security had been tightened and though the school was open, not all classes were active.In any case, he hurried to the playground only to find that Claire was not there which was odd.Pursing his lips, he decided to ask the teacher watching over the students at the playground.“Hello, do you know Claire Silva?... I'm a father, I came to pick her up.”“Huh?” The teacher stared at him in confusion. “Claire's aunt came to pick her up ten minutes ago. Haven't you guys discussed it?”“So her aunt came to pick her up today, I had no idea. Sorry to trouble you.” Elijah turned around and was about to leave when he paused, quickly realizing that something was wrong.If the aunt the teacher was talking about was Maddie, that would make no sense because she had

Maintaining a bold and determined demeanor about herself, Alice walked into Angel Haven and strode over to the reception. “I'm Alice Wesen. I was asked to come here.”One of Gerald's subordinates, dressed in waiters' clothes, had long been ordered to wait at the side at the front desk.After hearing Alice's words, he immediately walked out to meet her. “Miss Wesen, Mr. Neeson has been waiting for a long time. Come with me.”The underlying then brought her to a private room in the innermost area on the second floor of the bar.He knocked on the door and said. “Mr. Neeson, Alice Wesen is here.”“Bring her in!” Came the excited response.As soon as Alice heard this voice, she found herself feeling enraged; after all, this was the voice of the man who had kidnapped her daughter.However, aware that she was incapable of punishing him for his evil act, she calmed herself before making her way into the private room to find Gerald smiling with a licentious gaze while sitting on a couch.But h

Seeing Alice being humiliated caused Darcy to feel a peculiar sense of satisfaction. “I won't let you off!” Alice yelled out. Her gums had already started bleeding due to how hard she was clenching her jaw, so as soon as she opened her mouth, blood flooded out of the corners of her mouth. However, she felt no pain as she stared at the Neeson siblings with eyes filled with chilling hatred. Just as Gerald was about to respond, one of his subordinates hurriedly pushed open the door to the room and dashed in. Then, he exclaimed nervously. “Mr. Neeson, bad news. Someone's here to cause trouble!” Gerald's expression changed and he suddenly sprang up before hollering in fury. “Who dares to cause trouble on my turf!?” As soon as he finished speaking, a kick sent the thick door of the private room flying towards the couch in the innermost part of the room. If not for the person beside Gerald pulling him away, he would have been hit by the flying door. “Who are you?... How dar

After hearing Alice's cold words and Elijah's agreement, Darcy panicked as she remarked. “Alice, don't forget we were once friends, please spare me this time. I promise I'll never go against you in the future or do something like this again!”As she spoke, she was bawling miserably with tears and mucus all over her face, appearing extremely distressed and pathetic.“When you abducted Claire, did you remember that we were once friends?... She is only ten years old, yet you were fine with leaving my daughter with dangerous people without any care if she would be safe or not, yet you say we were once friends?... Darcy Neeson, you are and always will be scum and I do not relate with scum!” Alice belted out, her cold voice echoing in the private lounge. “Alice, please.”“The last time you created trouble for us, I let you off only because Alice asked that I leave you be,” Elijah remarked. “Yet you dared to do something as horrendous as abducting my daughter and threatening my wife. Now yo
