Anya was not pleased with the uncooperative Joey, who was in the cage. Her smile disappeared as she grew irritated. "I'm going to count to three. If you still won't look at me, I'm going to be very mad! One… Two…"Before she could say 'three', Joey forced himself to raise his head and look at Anya timidly.Anya was Joey's worst nightmare. She would always take out her anger on him whenever she felt unhappy. Although he could not remember every detail as he was a toddler back then, the mere sight of her could make his blood run cold. This horrible woman had instilled an instinctual fear in him.When Joey finally looked at her, Anya put her friendly smile back on. She reached into the cage to stroke Joey's head. "Good boy. Who's the good boy? You are! Joey is Mommy's good boy!"Her touch gave Joey the chills. He was downright terrified that she would suddenly strangle him to death."Joey, why are you looking at Mommy like that? Don't you miss me?" asked Anya with a smile.Joey's re

"Agh!" screamed Joey.Despite his cry, Anya pulled him harder by his hair. "My boy has changed. He's now a liar who lies to his own mother! Bad boy!""No… I didn't…" Joey's body was trembling.Anya threw her head back as she cackled. "You didn't? You dare say that you didn't lie to me? Do you really think that I have no idea what's going on in the Holden family? Your daddy hasn't been staying with you all at all! He ran away with another woman! That b*tch thought she could live happily ever after with Jeremy after she had stolen him away from me? In the end, she lived like a widow in that house for years! Hahahahahaha… Serves her right! She deserves this!""Y…You're hurting me…" Joey felt that his scalp was turning numb as if his hair was about to be torn off by the crazy woman.Anya pulled even harder and growled, "Serves you right! That's what you get when you lie to your mother! Don't you dare lie to me ever again, got it?!"…While Anya was torturing Joey, Jeremy and Corinne

Jeremy walked over. He hugged Corinne close to him and soothed her back gently to calm her. He then led her into the house with Lucas.After a few phone calls, Lucas came back to the living room and said, "It's true. Anya has been out of prison for a month, but she hasn't come home. We discovered that she worked a few jobs recently but resigned from all of them the day before yesterday. Nobody knows where she is now."Corinne could not sit still after hearing that. She stood up and said, "It has to be her! Why did she kidnap Joey? What is she trying to do?"Lucas looked at Corinne with a mix of compassion and helplessness, but he really did not have any other information that could help her locate Anya."Corinne, I have people looking for her everywhere. Please don't worry too much. It's probably safer for Joey if Anya is the kidnapper since she adopted him before..."Corinne became even more anxious when this was brought up. "Seriously, Lucas? Don't you know her yet? Do you have

As the car sped along the road, Sunny and Lucas sat together in the back seat.Suddenly, Sunny's phone buzzed in the pocket of the bathrobe he was wearing. He quickly declined the call as he did not dare to speak on the phone in the car during such a tense situation.It was Xante checking in on him. After dismissing the call, Sunny planned to update her via texting. However, Xante's message popped up before he could finish typing his message.[What's going on? Did the boss really go to your place?] she asked.Sunny pressed backspace on the message he was typing and replied with a simple, [Yeah.]He then added, [It's nothing serious. Just go to sleep for now.]It was pretty late, and Sunny did not want to worry her.Xante, however, knew Sunny so well that she did not buy his lie. After all, Sunny would never dodge her call if 'nothing serious' was happening.[Talk. There must be a reason why the boss would go to your place this late at night.]Xante knew all too well that Corin

Corinne's eyes sharpened as the store owner's wife seemed to have a realization."Yes? Did something cross your mind?""I remembered something. That girl, 'An,' used to flirt with my husband while working here. My husband ignored her advances, and she turned her attention to one of the kitchen staff instead. Oddly enough, that kitchen staff guy quit not long after I fired her. There might be a connection between them!"Corinne seized that glimmer of hope as she grabbed the store owner's wife's hand tightly. "Do you have a photo of that staff that you can show me?"The store owner's wife pondered for a moment before answering, "Oh, we do have one! He was still working with us during our store's third-anniversary celebration last month. We took a group photo together! Honey, it should be on your Facebook. Quick, find it and show it to this lady."The fast-food restaurant owner quickly pulled out his phone and scrolled through his Facebook account to locate the photo."Here it is. I
