I’ll kill you first.” “All you can do is threaten a child. When I grow up, I’ll kill
Outside, Wayne froze in shock at those words before quickly ushering Jacob away.
Strangely, Jacob reminded Wayne uncannily of Alex-not just in appearance, but in temperament too.
Especially that declaration about killing Alex someday.
They boarded another car.
Wayne shook off the unsettling thought. After all, he’d personally arranged the DNA test.
This boy wasn’t Alex’s son.
Inside the Maybach limousine,
Geoffrey’s expression remained unchanged.
Adrian stumbled out, supported by others: “Take the footage to the police! I’ll make that cheating bitch and bastard pay!”
He wasn’t the Adrian who’d back down after a beating anymore.
Now he only feared those with greater power and influence.
And Justin? Just some hired thug!
Next time, he’d bring more men to crush him!
As Adrian plotted, the Maybach glided before him.
The window lowered, revealing Geoffrey’s chiseled profile.
“Who exactly will pay?”
Geoffrey’s voice cut through the air.
Adrian froze. “M-Mr. Sutton… just joking…

“Should Reenie lose even one hair,” Geoffrey stated flatly. “I’ll feed your head to the dogs.”
Adrian nearly dropped to his knees, legs trembling uncontrollably,
“Brother-in-law, please don’t be angry. How could I ever harm my own sister?
III withdraw the lawsuit immediately.”
Only when Geoffrey’s car vanished into the distance did Adrian finally exhale, all his bravado gone. He knew those eight billion dollars would never be his.
He never imagined Geoffrey would defend his useless sister-the same man who’d despised Maureen the most.
When Noelle returned to find her son injured, fury ignited within her.
“How could she be so vicious?”
“Wasn’t her,” Adrian corrected. “One of her bodyguards.”
As Noelle opened her mouth to protest, Adrian cut in: Geoffrey had intervened. The lawsuit must be dropped.
Noelle fell silent.
“Never thought he still cared for her…”
Maureen was heading home when Attorney Thomas called: Noelle had withdrawn the lawsuit.
Relief washed over her.
Meanwhile, Katherine grew increasingly frantic searching for Jacob.
She had no idea the boy had been taken by his own father.
“Jacob, where on earth are you?”
Katherine suddenly recalled Jacob mentioning he wanted to see Noelle with Reenie. She drove straight to the Governor’s Mansion.
But upon arriving outside the Governor’s Mansion, Katherine saw no sign of Jacob.

She showed his photo to people nearby, yet nobody recognized him.
Katherine had no choice but to search elsewhere, not daring to inform Maureen too soon.
Small Town.
Wayne brought Jacob here ahead of schedule. They waited in the car for Geoffrey instead of heading home first.
After the long ride, Wayne worried Jacob might be hungry, “Want something to eat?” he asked.
Jacob shook his head proudly.
“I’m not hungry.”
Even as he spoke, his stomach rumbled in protest.
Seeing this, Wayne sent subordinates to buy food.
Soon, an assortment of snacks arrived in the car.
Jacob didn’t even glance at them, keeping his eyes shut as he leaned against the seat.
Wayne opened a steamer of Little Bun, releasing an irresistible aroma.
“Sure you won’t eat?”
Jacob smelled it but remained unmoved. “Hmph. I never eat in vehicles.”
Watching his haughty demeanor, Wayne found him increasingly reminiscent of his boss.
“When on earth will you let me leave?
Are you planning to keep me trapped here forever?”
Jacob demanded.
“Once the boss returns, he’ll arrange things for you.’
Wayne paused, then added: “Alex won’t be back anytime soon. Eat something now or you’ll be crying from hunger later.”
Jacob scoffed.

Was this lackey of his father treating him like a three-year-old?
He’d never cry.
But as time dragged on, Jacob’s stomach growled louder.
Wayne deliberately unpacked steaming meals and snacks before him.
“Sure you won’t eat?”
Jacob swallowed hard. “I’ll eat outside.”
“Fine.”
Wayne couldn’t risk starving him.
After all, this was Maureen’s son. Since Alex adored Maureen now, he’d love the child for the mother’s sake.
Night fell when Geoffrey finally returned. He approached the car, commanding Jacob:
“Come. You’re coming home with me.”
Going home…
Jacob felt dazed.
Geoffrey hauled him out directly. The towering figure lifted Jacob airborne.
“Damn you! Put me down!”
Geoffrey spanked his bottom. “Behave. From now on, I’m your stepfather.”
Jacob’s entire body froze.
From childhood till now, it was the first time anyone dared lay hands on his butt.
“You bastard!”
“I’ll kill you!”
Jacob kept shouting threats to kill Geoffrey all the way home.
When they arrived, Maureen had just learned from Katherine that Jacob was missing.
