However, this news had a significant impact on Leo. It was so profound that he felt the need to reexamine the shipwreck Amelia had experienced six years ago. He turned to James. “How is the investigation I asked you about going?” James looked confused. “What investigation?” Leo frowned. James quickly remembered and replied respectfully, “Oh, that one. There hasn’t been any progress yet. I’ve handed it over to Brian. He’s more skilled in this area.” Leo’s gaze became even more disdainful upon hearing this. James lowered his head, feeling embarrassed. In the end, Leo didn’t say anything more. He simply instructed James to investigate carefully, then left. James wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly called Brian. Two days later, it was finally the day when Liam and Ella were returning to New York. Aunt Elsa still needed some medical assistance, so her return date was later than the two little ones. Amelia had taken the day off. She got up early, changed into new c
A few minutes later, the two of them sat face to face, the atmosphere tense. By now, most of the people on the train had left, leaving only a few scattered individuals who were all engrossed in their phones, paying no attention to the scene before them. The two remained locked in a stalemate for a while until, finally, Amelia broke the silence. “Leo, what do you mean by all this?” she asked. Leo gave her a cold, hard stare. “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that? What do you mean by secretly hiding my two children? If I hadn’t sent someone to investigate, were you planning on never telling me?” Amelia froze. So he knew, after all. But then again, it wasn’t really that surprising. After all, the two little ones looked so much like him, especially Liam, who was practically a carbon copy. Even if Leo didn’t know now, he would have found out sooner or later. Amelia let out a sigh. “Leo, I have to warn you seriously. These two children are mine, and I’ve been the one raisin
After hanging up the phone, she stood up straight and pulled the pillow from her stomach. Suddenly she looked like a young lady, not a pregnant woman. She used a wet tissue to clean the blood on her leg, then wrapped the little bundle in her coat and carried her out. Outside the restroom, Liam had been waiting for Ella. He was only six years old, so he couldn't go into the women's restroom and had to wait outside. However, he had been waiting for a long time, and Ella still hadn't come out. Liam frowned. At this moment a tall young woman walked out of the restroom, holding a child in her arms. The child was wrapped in a long coat, so Liam couldn't see the face. The woman walked towards the exit with the child. Liam didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but then he suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of shoes under the coat.They were red leather shoes, the same as the ones Ella was wearing today. Liam trembled and ran towards them. However, at that moment, a shadow f
Before long, Amelia pinpointed their location. She pointed to a small red dot on the laptop screen and exclaimed, “They're on the highway.” Leo’s expression shifted. “I’ll send someone right away to block the highway exits.” Amelia nodded in agreement. But then, the small red dot stopped moving. Moments later, it veered off the main road and headed in another direction. Amelia quickly stopped Leo. “Don’t block them yet.” She pointed to the red dot on the screen and said, “It looks like they've abandoned the car.” Leo noticed this too. He zoomed in on the map on the screen, recognizing that section of the road. There were several small side roads there, each leading to different places—some to villages, some into the mountains, and others elsewhere. If the kidnappers had fled that way, finding them again would be difficult. Thinking of this, Leo slammed his hand on his thigh in frustration. Amelia, on the other hand, remained completely calm. She carefully considere
However... could a six-year-old child truly have a murderous intent? The man found it unbelievable and let out a dry chuckle. Then, with a mocking tone, he asked, “What, are you planning to find out my name and take revenge on me?” Liam pressed his lips together, choosing to stay silent. Yet, his dark eyes gleamed sharply. The man paused. If his earlier impression was a mistake, he was almost sure now that there was a genuine malice in this six-year-old's eyes. As someone who had spent years living on the edge, he was keenly aware of such a presence. Ha! He really was that man's son. What a temper! He crouched down and grabbed Liam’s chin suddenly. “Kid!” “Let go! Let go of my brother!” Ella cried out, rushing forward to hit the man with all her might. But Liam stopped her. The pain in his chin was intense, but Liam kept silent, lips pressed together, eyes hard and unyielding. The man found this even more amusing and laughed. “Kid, do you have any idea who you're glarin
"Any luck? Did you pinpoint their location?" Amelia asked Leo, who was seated next to her. Leo gave a slight nod, his face expressionless, after pressing the final key on the keyboard. "Yes, I’ve got it. They're where we suspected." Amelia let out a sigh of relief. As long as the kidnappers weren’t trying to trick her, there was a chance to save the two children. Seeing that she was sweating and her face had turned pale, Leo pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her. "Here, wipe your face." Amelia took the handkerchief and quickly wiped her face. Leo then took out his phone and started making a series of calls to issue commands. Amelia knew he had skilled people working under him—some even more efficient than law enforcement, with various tactics at their disposal. Still, she couldn't help but worry. "Leo, are you sure you can rescue them safely?" Leo nodded. "Yes." In truth, his nerves had been on edge since hearing the initial news. Now that he had confirm
A few figures suddenly stepped out from the cabin, their eyes narrowing as they observed the woman on the shore. “Miss Smith?” “Yes, I’m Amelia. I’ve brought the three million dollars, just as you asked. Now, where are my children?” Inside the car, Amelia listened in amazement to the voice that was nearly identical to her own. She couldn’t see the woman’s face from this angle, but just hearing her voice, she could tell it was a convincing impersonation. Seeing her reaction, Leo leaned in and whispered, “Don’t worry. They’re masters of disguise. I sent them your photo beforehand, so they’ve adjusted their appearance to look just like you. People who know you well might notice some differences, but these kidnappers won’t be able to tell.” Understanding dawned on Amelia. It was remarkable that they could make anyone look like her. She couldn’t help but gain a new appreciation for the skills of the man next to her. The kidnappers on the boat appeared unsure but eventually let the wo
Everyone was in shock. It wasn't until that moment that Lady Reynold noticed two children standing before her—a boy and a girl—both of whom bore an uncanny resemblance to her son. The boy, especially, not only shared his looks but even his gaze was strikingly similar to Leo’s. He was like a miniature version of Leo. Lady Reynold's heart shook. Sophia had come with her, and upon seeing Liam and Ella, her face turned pale. They were alive... But how could that be? Wasn’t Black Cobra supposed to ensure that the plan would be foolproof this time? Lady Reynold quickly pieced things together. She pointed at the children, her hand trembling as she demanded, “Amelia, where did these children come from? Tell me, are they Leo's." Amelia pressed her lips together. She wanted to deny it but knew it would be pointless. The resemblance between Liam and Leo was too strong. Anyone could see they were related. Sophia then stepped forward with a forced smile. “Aunt, please don’t get too worked
