The voice on the other end of the line was deep and firm. “Mr. Ford, your return is approved. You’ve been granted the highest level of authority. You can mobilize the forces of the nearest military installation, and you have absolute discretion.”My knuckles went white as I gripped the phone. I only made a single utterance of affirmation.The moment I hung up, my assistant, Charlie Baker, pushed the door open and came in with a report. “Mr. Ford, the private jet is on the runway awaiting you, and the flight path has been approved. You can take off at any time.”“Alright.”I took my seat in the private jet and called my butler, Mr. Jeffords. The call was promptly answered. Mr. Jeffords asked deferentially, “Have you finished your negotiations, sir?” There was a smile in his voice.“Yes.” I managed to suppress my rage and answered calmly. “How are the plans for Dad’s birthday banquet going? Is he happy with them?”“Yes, very much so!” The cheer in Mr. Jefford’s voice rang hollo

At the mention of our son, Madison replied in forced calmness, “He’s playing with the other kids in the garden. Lucas is getting naughtier. He even said he missed his grandfather. I told him to be patient and to wait for Anderson to finish up before coming to play with him…”She suddenly changed the subject and complained, “Speaking of Lucas, he’s learned to lie. He stole a piece of cake yesterday, but he kept denying it. You have to tell him off when you see him. If you don’t, we’ll never be able to get him to do what we want.”I scoffed to myself. Something was definitely up with Madison. Lucas had only ever been good and obedient. He would never lie. Besides, the security footage had shown me the truth. Lucas was already being subjected to abuse. Madison kept up with her fibbing. Clearly, she was doing her best to hide the truth, terrified that I would learn what was truly going on. “Is that right? I’ll go and tell him off right now.”I did not stop walking and kept movin

I hurriedly gave an order, “Hurry up and save him!”The soldiers instantly moved. “Don’t move! Kneel down!”The brisk orders were given out with severe expressions, scaring those previously taunting guests completely. They shrieked and cried as they knelt on the floor and covered their heads. The smile on Jonah’s face froze. He looked at the soldiers in disbelief. His voice shook as he said, “This is impossible… How could the military be here?”But no one responded to him. Two soldiers quickly moved forward and handcuffed him. They were so rough with it that Jonah cried out in pain. “Release me! Do you know what will happen to you if you do this?”Jonah was struggling violently, rumpling his suit as he did. “Conway, did you do this? How dare you mobilize the military? Have you gone mad?”Mr. Jeffords was still choking Anderson, but he was shocked by these events and started to tremble. When he saw the soldiers coming closer, his hand shook, and he dropped the rope.

At the hospital, the lights were a stark white. Anderson had been sent in for emergency treatment, while Lucas was being examined in a nearby examination room. The doctor came out with a report, his expression solemn. “There are many old injuries on the child’s body, likely caused by long-term abuse. He has some contusions and mild fractures, and he needs a lot of recuperation.“Mr. Ford’s situation is more serious. His lungs are damaged. Also, he’s been malnourished and has been under a lot of stress. This has caused acute pneumonia. He also shows signs of a concussion. We will do our best, but it might be good to be prepared.”I gripped the report so hard that my knuckles went white. Every word in the report was a stab in my heart. How much had the two of them suffered?Lucas sat on a hospital bed as a nurse applied medication. He gritted his teeth and did not make a single sound. I walked over and sat beside him, gently rubbing his head. “Does it hurt?”He shook hi
