Elliot had set up the code with the knowledge that only Daniel could decipher it. There was no other way to escape from this room, so she had no choice but to seek help from David."Mommy, you're locked up. Who would dare to do anything to you?" David's voice turned cold as he heard about his mother's predicament on the other end of the phone. He vowed not to spare the person who dared to harm his mother."Don't worry, Mommy is fine. You must prioritize your safety when you come," Avery hurriedly reassured her son, concerned that his anxiety might lead to reckless actions."Don't worry, Mommy. I'm on my way." David didn't have time to think about retrieving his tools from the study. After receiving the location, he set off immediately.Within ten minutes, David arrived at the vast Stone family estate as swiftly as possible. Skillfully evading several bodyguards, he searched through the numerous houses until he found the locked room.Under the cover of darkness, Daniel stood before the
Daniel stared at Elliot in disbelief, his eyes filled with astonishment. The cold expression on Elliot's face seemed ready to explode with anger, but there was also a hint of longing. Daniel's little nose wrinkled in aggrieved sadness as he realized that his father had no intention of bringing back his aunt.With a pouting mouth, Daniel deliberately spoke up, "No, I don't want my father to accompany me. I want my aunt."Elliot's eyes widened, and anger surged within him. How could this heartless child, whom he had raised and accompanied for six years, show such ingratitude over a woman he barely knew?"No aunt, go to sleep!" Elliot forcefully covered Daniel with a quilt, restricting his movements. Daniel struggled, using his hands and feet to free himself."Bad dad, I want my aunt! My aunt promised she would stay with me today."His aunt had made him a promise.Elliot lay down next to him, placing the little one in the crook of his arm, thinking that Daniel would eventually tire himse
Elliot's expression suddenly turned dark, and he felt the urge to run. He forcefully disconnected the phone call, marched towards the door, hesitated, took three steps forward, and then hurriedly turned back towards the bedside. Despite his reluctance, he lifted Daniel and placed him gently on the bed, covering him with a quilt. Sternly, he commanded, "Stay here obediently. Don't wander around without sleeping!"Daniel looked at his father's serious face and quieted down, responding with a soft "Hmm."Observing his father's anxious demeanor, Daniel realized that there must be an emergency, and decided to postpone their discussion for later.Leaving the bedroom, Elliot walked purposefully towards the utility room in the backyard.After a sleepless night filled with restlessness, the sky was on the verge of dawn, revealing a faint silver hue in the distance.Elliot's gaze fixated on the disheveled lock on the door, his fist gradually clenching tighter and tighter."Avery, you treacherou
The person in the video turned out to be none other than Daniel."Has Daniel been here?!" Elliot furrowed his brow, carefully examining the image multiple times. The movements, demeanor, and vague expression of the person in the video perfectly matched Daniel.But wasn't Daniel supposed to be in his small bedroom in the front yard? When did he come here?Soon, Elliot found an answer to this doubt when the housekeeper mentioned that Daniel had been absent from his bedroom for some time. It seemed that he had slipped away during a moment of distraction."This little rascal!"Just as Elliot was engrossed in the video, it abruptly turned black. He clicked and tried to switch to the next screen, but it remained useless, still displaying darkness."Daddy is stupid, Daddy is stupid!" The little robot in Elliot's hand loudly screeched with its demonic voice.The bodyguard struggled to hold back his laughter, realizing that only the young master in the imperial capital could dare to call Maste
On the other hand, when Avery and David returned home, they startled Daisy. Curious about what had happened, Daisy asked them for an explanation. David recounted the rescue process. Seeing Daisy's excitement, Avery handed her over to David, treating her like a little adult, as Avery needed some time to calm her emotions.Feeling exposed by Elliot so quickly and in such a humiliating way, Daisy couldn't help but feel ashamed. She scolded herself inwardly for her failure.With that incident fresh in Avery's mind, she felt a bit uneasy about the safety of her two precious children. Before heading upstairs to freshen up in the bathroom, she told the two of them, who were still engaged in conversation, "From today onwards, you two can no longer go out alone.""Mummy, we understand," Daisy obediently nodded, her mind filled with the fear-inducing scene of her mother being locked up."Okay," David replied nonchalantly, as if lost in thought.Observing their well-behaved expressions, Avery t
When Daisy observed her brother's peculiar smile, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. It was an unsettling sight for her, a soft-hearted girl, and she suddenly feel a hint of sympathy for the man named Elliot. However, she didn't intervene or stop her brother, allowing her curiosity to guide her actions.Like a curious cat, Daisy watched intently as David skillfully typed a series of English letters, repeatedly pressing the enter key. The computer screen was soon filled with a dense white code against the black background.Meanwhile, in the study of Stone Manor, Elliot reclined in his chair, closing his eyes. Suddenly, the landline phone on his desk rang, prompting him to sit up and answer it in a methodical manner.As soon as the call connected, instead of hearing Julian's voice, Elliot was bombarded with chaotic screams coming from the other end. Frowning, he listened attentively, trying to make sense of the commotion."What's going on?" Elliot's eyes darkened with a to
"LX is a global company," one person said, expressing their thoughts. "I don't think it's a loss if they acquire our company.""Yeah, it's not," another chimed in. "We're just worried that they won't keep us and lay off all the staff."Someone immediately exclaimed, "Ah... That would be bad."In the MN Building, tension filled the air, and an indiscernible pressure hung over the surroundings. It was as quiet as a graveyard. The reason for this stifling atmosphere was the impending acquisition of the company by the LX multinational company, scheduled to take place in half an hour.LX was owned by the influential Stone family, with Elliot Stone at the helm. They were considered the dominant force in the business sector, holding significant power and influence.The elevator on the top floor dinged, and the doors slid open, revealing a man stepping out. It was Elliot Stone, the President of LX. With his tall, upright figure and handsome appearance, he wore a custom-made suit jacket over a
Six years had passed since that fateful day. Avery, now a young and successful doctor, stood at Country W International Airport. The arrivals area bustled with people coming and going, friends and family eagerly awaiting their loved ones. Among the crowd, a few fans gathered, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their idol. The air was filled with excitement and familiar names being called out.Avery gracefully maneuvered her suitcase, her heels clicking against the ground as she made her way through the crowd. Walking beside her were her twins, a boy and a girl, both around five years old. They possessed striking resemblances to their mother, radiating charm and cuteness.The boy, dressed in casual attire, had a cool expression on his small face. Meanwhile, his sister, wearing a pink dress with her hair tied up in a ponytail, beamed with a wide smile on her adorable face. The boy noticed something falling from Daisy's belongings and complained in a small voice, urging her to walk more
