It was late at night. Jackson was at the detention center, waiting in the dimly lit visiting room with only a yellow lamp glowing in the dark.A guard brought Walter to the dimly lit room, and Jackson sat in the chair, staring at Walter with cold eyes. The guard who had brought Walter left the room and closed the door, leaving Walter and Jackson alone.Jackson began to speak. "You knew I was coming.""I didn't know. But since you're here, you must have questions for me," Walter replied with a small smile.Jackson stared straight at Walter, getting right to the point. "You knew that Caden is my child. Who else knew?" Anyone would have felt pressured by Jackson's sharp gaze, but Walter looked nonchalant. "I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Valor." "You don't understand?" Jackson got up and strode to Walter, grabbing him by the face and slamming him to the table. He messed Walter up pretty badly. "Caden is my son. Who else knew? What was your purpose when you took Caden
Jackson studied Walter's reaction and noticed the subtle hint in his body language at the mention of Jenny's name. Walter's body stiffened only for a short moment, but it was enough for Jackson.Jenny Hall! So she knew about Caden, his son with Serenity. Was it Jenny who kidnapped the boy?After all these years, the police and the Valor family had never found Jenny. Walter must have played a key role in keeping Jenny's whereabouts a secret. Jenny had no connections or power. How could she hide for so many years without any help? Jackson let go of his hands, straightening up. "If anything happens to my son, I'll send you to hell!" he said, glaring at him with cold eyes.Walter shuddered at Jackson's icy voice. The current Mr. Valor reminded him of who he was before meeting Serenity—the cruel, decisive, and ruthless Mr. Valor. The kind of heir Master Zack wanted.Walter wondered if it was good or bad for Mr. Valor's cruel side to be showing again, all because of the child. Serenity
The kidnappers' goal would usually be a fast, easy payoff. They would have kidnapped a kid for ransom money, but they might not hurt the kid! Serenity could not imagine what Jenny wanted by kidnapping her child. She panicked, terrified that she would never see her child alive again. Would she find nothing but the cold corpse of her child?!"Calm down!" Jackson hugged Serenity tightly. "Our boy will be fine! Nothing will happen to him! Walter said he had trained Caden and taught him a lot of skills. The boy might not let Jenny have her way."Serenity flinched as Jackson told Serenity about Caden's childhood with Walter. She listened, choking back her tears. Why was her child subjected to such inhuman treatment at such a young age?! Caden was the same age as Jackie but had suffered a cruel childhood. While Jackie slept in her arms, Caden had fought and fought, engaged in various fights even with fierce dogs, just for Walter's so-called training to shape a suitable heir for the Valor
Jacqueline and Micah remembered Caden from the park. His fight at the park had left a great impression on the siblings.When Jacqueline discovered that Caden was their long-lost brother, she widened her eyes in surprise, gasping in amazement. Micah was slightly surprised and accepted the news quickly."Mommy! I promise I'll save Caden. He's my brother," Micah said, looking at Serenity with a stern face. As the eldest son, he quickly accepted Caden as his younger brother and naturally took responsibility to protect his younger siblings!"Oh, Micah. I know how you feel, but leave the rest to the adults. You just have to stay home with your sister for a few days," Serenity gently patted Micah's head, her face still sad.Micah blinked. After that, he went to his room without saying anything else, and Jacqueline followed him. Serenity breathed a sigh of relief as she saw the siblings staying together.Serenity had a lot on her mind, occupied with Caden's matter. Although she did not ha
As time ticked, Serenity sat in the chair, watching the footage of Zeke on the computer. Not wanting to miss any details, she paid full attention and observed the surveillance footage carefully. When she recognized the woman approaching Zeke, she stood up with a start, surprising Jackson."What's wrong?" Jackson asked as he hurried to Serenity's side."That woman! It's Jenny!" Serenity pointed at the blurry image of the woman approaching Zeke in the security footage. Serenity recognized Jenny instantly even though Jenny had changed a lot since then. After all, the haunting memories of Jenny constantly tortured Serenity. Narrowing his eyes, Jackson joined Serenity in watching this footage. Serenity froze when she saw Jenny beckoning a child to Zeke.Serenity recognized the boy and remembered him for playing the piano so well on the show the other day. Was he related to Jenny? Could he be Jenny's kid?Why did Jenny take the kid to see Zeke? Could it be... Was the boy Zeke's kid?
Jackson read the reply, his face darkening with fury. He sent another reply, but the kidnappers never answered him."I'll go. Jenny and Zeke seem very determined to get me over there!" Serenity insisted on going. Jackson pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, clearly disagreeing with Serenity."Jack, I'll protect myself, and… I'm still going, even if you disagree. I'll get him back safely. It's the only thing I can do for him as his mother!" Serenity said stubbornly, determined to save Caden. Jackson sighed helplessly, knowing there was nothing he could do to change her mind. He could not go against her wish. At last, he simply said, "Well then, let's take a gamble. If anything happens to you, I'll be with you!" Serenity shook at Jackson's answer. She understood what his words meant—he would die for her!Serenity forced herself to sleep that night. She needed enough sleep to have the strength and energy to save Caden.Jackson slowly fluttered his eyes open after Serenity
"We'll tell you after we receive the money and leave here safely. I need some safeguard, obviously," the female voice said."Okay. You’d better keep your word or you'll regret it!" Serenity took a deep breath and began to make the transfer on the laptop. After the money was transferred into the designated bank account as requested, the masked man handed the unconscious Caden to Serenity. As soon as Serenity caught Caden in her arms, the man said in a deliberately lowered voice, startling Serenity. "Sorry.""You…" Serenity was about to say something but was interrupted by the female voice that suddenly shrieked with laughter. "The money's in! Serenity, this is what you owe me! Look around you. I’ve found the perfect place for you! Now you can die here with the man you loved, isn't that great?""What did you just say?!" The masked man, or rather, Zeke, shouted. What the hell was Jenny doing?! Zeke was shocked to realize that things were completely different from what Jenny had promi
Jenny turned her head, looking at the live surveillance footage on her phone. Jackson was still at the bottom of the hill, and no one was supposed to be at her door. The reality was completely different from the footage playing on her phone. Jackson appeared at her place, his men surrounding this place."Why? Why are you here?! You're not supposed to be here! Why is the live footage completely different?!" Jenny gasped in shock. "Not everything in this world is real. Just like you. You have a fake identity and used your son to deceive Zeke. So, why can't I be here?" Jackson shot Jenny a cold look. "Your two accomplices have been arrested. Jenny, it's game over. Now, you'll have to pay for what you've done." Jenny's eyes grew impossibly wide, terrified at the situation. Her two accomplices were her biggest fans back then, one of them a wanted criminal. They were involved with the kidnapping this time, and if they got arrested, what about her?"This is the end!" Jackson declared,
