”Ugh…” Justin gritted his teeth as two iron rods slammed into his back. His eyes turned red with suppressed pain, but he held Alex tightly in his arms. Alex knew. Even at his young age, he understood everything. After the first blow, more thugs joined in, swinging wildly with their weapons. Justin shielded Alex’s head and back with his arms, rolling across the ground to dodge their attacks. Alex took the chance to loosen the cut ropes around his wrists and reached toward the button hidden near his shoe. As another thug approached, Alex kicked out. The man, iron rod raised, collapsed instantly after being electrocuted. The shoes were custom-made by the Walkerfamily. They contained a tracking chip designed by Richard, capable of sending a distress signal. The heels were equipped with a concealed blade, and the soles held a high-voltage shock device that could temporarily paralyze an enemy, rendering them incapable of movement. It compensated for Alex’s sm

After dinner, Haley still couldn’t rest easy. She insisted on pulling Alex back to the children’s room, lifting his shirt to check him over. She needed to see for herself—was he really unhurt? What if he was just hiding his injuries to keep her from worrying? She checked his back, stomach, arms, and legs, going over him carefully. When it came time to check his bottom, Alex clutched his pants tightly and begged for mercy. “Mommy, my butt is fine! I didn’t get hurt at all! Daddy—” He quickly corrected himself. “Uncle Justin protected me really well. He got hurt instead—really badly. Those people hit him with iron rods, hard, right on his back.“One of them was even about to hit my head, but Uncle Justin shielded me with his body.” Out of Haley’s line of sight, Alex secretly stuck out his tongue. Luckily, he caught himself in time. If he had said "Daddy," he would have given himself away. It was all because he had called him that so much in the car—now i

Haley lowered his shirt after applying the ointment and tossed the used cotton swab into the trash. “Done.” Her voice was indifferent, neither warm nor cold. She turned away and silently closed the medicine box. Justin turned to look at her. Their time alone together had been too brief, and he hurriedly spoke, trying to make her stay. “My mother’s funeral is about to take place. Could you… bring Chase and Alex to attend?“Can you wait to leave until after the funeral?” Afraid she would refuse, he quickly added, his gaze filled with quiet pleading. He couldn’t bear to see her leave. He couldn’t bear for her to leave this city. Justin felt like a child without a sense of security, wanting nothing more than to keep Haley by his side. His voice was so pitiful that, for a brief moment, Haley paused. Her eyes met his humble, pleading gaze, and for a split second, she felt a sharp, needle-like pain in her chest. It was so clear and distinct that she couldn

It was noon, and the housekeeper had already prepared lunch in advance, just waiting for Haley, Chase, and Alex to return home. With Mrs. Zimmer visiting, Haley didn’t hesitate to invite her to join them for the meal. After Chase and Alex went down for their nap, Haley stayed in the kitchen with Mrs. Zimmer, helping to prepare vegetables for dinner. “Mr. Yates mentioned that you’re staying in Lincourt City for a few more days until the old madam’s funeral is over?” “Yes.” Mrs. Zimmer let out a deep sigh. “Mr. Yates has had a hard life all these years. Since childhood, he was constantly pushed by Mr. Yates Sr. to study. His childhood was nothing like Chase and Alex’s—so carefree and happy. “Every day, aside from school, it was tutoring or private lessons at home. His entire childhood, I never once saw him have time to just play.“When he was ten, Mr. Yates Sr. sent him abroad to study. He didn’t return until he was seventeen. And not long after he came back, his fa

That evening, Wilfred had a business dinner to attend, and Helen and Zac sent a message saying they wouldn’t be coming home for dinner. Only Evelyn returned. Not long after she arrived, Justin walked in through the front door. In the past, every time he came over, he had to ring the doorbell. But now, after showing up so often, the bodyguards and the Walker family had gotten used to him. They simply let him in. “I’m back.” Justin acted as if he owned the place, making himself at home. “Mr. Yates, you’re back? Dinner will be ready soon—go wash your hands,” Mrs. Zimmer said with a warm smile. Evelyn glanced toward the kitchen, a little surprised to see an extra person at the table, but she didn’t ask any questions. Richard, however, caught a whiff of the food and couldn’t help but praise it. “Mmm, I haven’t even tasted it yet, but it smells amazing.” Then, he turned to Mrs. Zimmer and grinned. “Hey, Mrs. Zimmer, how much does Justin pay you a month?
