LOGINMy son’s horrified scream echoed from downstairs at eight o’clock at night. Meanwhile, a message popped up in a group chat for the apartment building’s residents. “Silas, does your son even have a heart? He won’t even play with my girl.” I froze, recalling that the neighbor didn’t have a child. The next second, the neighbor sent a video. The footage showed a vicious Doberman lunging toward me to attack Ethan. It was bad enough that the neighbor didn’t stop the attack, but he even stood there, applauding. “Good girl. You’re amazing. You’ve got a big boy crying already. As Ethan was tackled to the floor, I shook in rage. Since the neighbor loved playing games, I’d show him a thing or two. I raced to the kitchen and grabbed the knife before charging to the scene.

Hunched over, I sneered, “Retained counsel? “You only got the job at the Warburton Group because of me.” Crystal was stunned. “You’re really the heir of the Warburton Group? “Why didn’t you tell me?” Crystal shouted, sounding rather hurt. It was the most absurd thing ever. “Why should I tell you?“A woman who has been unfaithful and involved in the abduction of her own son is not fit to be a member of the Warburtons.”Crystal was thrown into a panic. “Hear me out, Silas. It’s not what it looks like.” Struck by a thought, Crystal snapped her head toward Andrew. “It was him! He was all over me!“He insisted on kidnapping our son. “I only stayed with him for fear he might hurt Ethan out of desperation!” Andrew was in disbelief. He shot an angry look at Crystal, but only muffled sounds came out of his lips. Out of the kindness of my heart, I removed the towel from his mouth. An
I scowled. Filing a false police report? The police officer was quick to change his tune. It seemed Crystal had been throwing her weight around with the Warburton Group behind her. Mistaking my silence for fear, the police officer said sternly, “You’ve seriously disrupted our response operations and wasted a lot of police resources.“I think it’s best if we take you down to the precinct.” The police officer pulled out handcuffs to cuff me. Rachel stepped right in front of me. “Is this how you enforce the law?” The lead police officer paused, but anger quickly filled his eyes. “Are you telling me how to do my job? Who do you think you are? “You’d better watch it. I might just charge you for obstructing justice. That should keep you detained for a few days.” Rachel pulled a long face. I grabbed her arm. “What’s the rush? “The secretary of the Warburton Group isn’t even here yet. How are you supposed to answer to him if you took us away?” The police officer
I pointed at Crystal and Andrew. “The kidnappers are the child’s mother and her lover.” The police officer was stunned. “Mr. Warburton, this is not a joking matter. “Mrs. Warburton is a renowned legal counsel in the city. She has worked with the police force on many cases. She wouldn’t commit such an act.” The cops behind him nodded in agreement. Furrowing my brows, I was peevish. “It’s really her. I found my son stuffed under the mattress in her lover’s bedroom.” I pointed at the rope on the floor. “You can check for fingerprints and decide whether I’m pulling your leg.” The lead police officer and his team turned solemn. Ethan, who nestled in Rachel’s arms, interrupted the cops before they could say anything. “Mom and that guy took me from the hospital. “They tied me up and told me they’d beat me if I didn’t listen,” Ethan said miserably. He put his hands out and showed the bruising along his wrists. The police officer, his expression grim, went up to ex
“Rachel…” I was choked up with emotions. It never occurred to me that Rachel Warburton would show up. My sister was there just in time to save the day. My eyes welled up. Rachel’s gaze softened. “Stop crying. What will my nephew think of you?” Rachel said in disapproval, but she was gentle in helping me to my feet. Crystal looked at me skeptically. “Nephew? I didn’t know you had a sister. “I thought you were an orphan.” I was taken aback. An orphan? So that was what Crystal believed all these years. Then again, I had never talked to her about my family. I gave up on family, my career, and everything just to be with her. What did she do in return? She cheated on me and kidnapped our son. Maybe I made a mistake right from the start. I let out a wry smile as my mind wandered to the day I eagerly told Rachel that I had found the one. At the time, I thought she would give me her blessing. To my horror, Rachel hurled a pile of photos right in front of my
