Grandpa’s men had been lurking around here for more than two days, privately checking the school’s surveillance. Everything was done under Grandpa Kensington’s name, including their covert surveillance of Isla.
When the kindergarten teacher saw that Isla’s parents hadn’t come yet, she stayed a bit longer with her.
Suddenly, someone called out to the teacher, “The principal said the Kensington family is calling because of Ezra and wants you to go over.”
The teacher looked at Isla, feeling uneasy. However, since it was the principal who called and it involved the Kensington family and Ezra, she couldn’t afford to offend anyone. Reluctantly, she told the teacher who relayed the message to keep an eye on Isla.
“Don’t worry, I know her parents.”
The teacher finally nodded and, after warning Isla not to leave with strangers, left.
Isla played alone

“What else is there to explain!”Vanessa stepped forward, shoving Luca’s shoulder forcefully, trying to push him out the door. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her, gently yet patiently trying to explain.“No, it’s just that Ezra was hospitalized due to food poisoning, so…” Grandpa had someone investigate. “What does Ezra being poisoned have to do with Isla being kidnapped?”Vanessa was shocked, feeling like there was something she didn’t understand. Luca's expression suggested he had no idea what was happening either.Could it be that she really misunderstood?Luca was surprised and shook his head. “I’m not aware of this matter. It’s just that Ezra’s food poisoning needs to be investigated. Only Isla fed him something else tha

K Group.Suddenly, the lights in the president's office turned on. Luca took off his jacket and casually tossed it onto the sofa. He picked up a bottle of foreign wine from the display rack and expertly poured himself a glass.Looking down at the colorful nightlife below, he swirled the glass in his hand, the ice cubes clinking crisply. He slowly brought it to his lips and drank it all in one go, then poured another glass.After several glasses, he still felt no drowsiness.His mind was filled with Vanessa's words from earlier and the right and wrongs of five years ago.“Was it really my fault five years ago?”This wasn’t the first time he had asked himself this, but it was the first time he had begun to doubt the truth of that incident and whether the child was his.Lost in thou

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist, making it impossible for her to break free. “What are you staring at? Help me pull him away!” Seeing his assistant frozen in place, Vanessa called out, somewhat annoyed. Luca's assistant finally stepped forward but only managed to support Luca, not daring to hurt him in the slightest. Vanessa didn’t know if it was avoidance or fear; she desperately struggled to free herself from Luca's grip. “Vanessa, don’t go, don’t go…” Although Luca was drunk, he could still recognize Vanessa by instinct alone, or perhaps he didn't fully realize it, but his inner regret made him feel that this person was Vanessa. “Luca, let go of me! If you don’t let go, I’ll call the police!” Hearing the word ‘police,’ Luca became even more agitated, mumbling apologies and explanatio

“Daxton, please take care of him for a moment. I’m going to check on Isla.” With Daxton's help, Luca finally released her hand. “Go ahead. For now, I won’t kill him.” Daxton replied with a smile, leading Vanessa to believe he was joking and not to take it seriously. But that statement was Daxton's true feeling; he wouldn't kill Luca yet. However, if Luca continued to entangle himself with Vanessa and harm both her and her daughter, he wasn't sure he could restrain himself from swiftly dealing with him. A few hours later, Mariah called, saying she had landed and would be home soon. With Daxton's reminder, she had already prepared everything, creating an illusion that she had returned home before dark to prevent being followed by paparazzi or gossip reporters. Isla was sleeping soundly, though occasionally she would stir and react to the fright she had

In the morning, no matter what Luca did, he was cold-shouldered by Vanessa and her daughter. Isla, feeling wronged and angry, even refused to talk to him, turning her head away with a pout.Mariah was too tired to accept the breakfast invitation, leaving only the three of them at the breakfast table.“Isla, Mommy has arranged for you to take a day off from kindergarten. You can rest today and see if you still feel scared. If you don’t feel well, just tell Mommy, and I’ll take you to see a psychologist, okay?”Isla knew about psychologists; she had accompanied her mother many times and always thought they were a bit scary. Often, Vanessa would come out with red eyes, barely speaking, and wearing a forced smile throughout the day.Because of this, Isla felt resistant. She shook her head and said, “I don’t want to go to the psychologist. I want Mommy to stay with me. Mommy, don’t cry. Don’t be sad.”

“Isla, when do you want to go to the zoo? I’ll take you!” Luca, eager to keep the excitement alive, asked with a hopeful smile.But Isla, still just a child, wasn’t focused on the logistics. She simply worried that Luca might turn out like her mother—full of promises but always too busy with work, leaving her waiting indefinitely.She tugged on Vanessa’s hand and asked sweetly, “Mommy, will you come with Isla?”“Of course! Mommy will definitely go with you. Uncle Luca doesn’t know how to handle kids, so Mommy will be with you,” Vanessa replied warmly, her tone full of reassurance.Isla’s face lit up, and she jumped with excitement. “Then let’s go today!”That’s the thing about kids—they want to go the moment the idea pops into their head, without a second thought about schedules or planning.Luca smiled, ready to agree, but paused and glance

Because of Luca’s slip of the tongue, Isla, upset and frustrated, locked herself in her room. Refusing to listen to any explanations, she cried even harder, “Mommy and Uncle are both liars!”Hearing this, Vanessa felt a sharp pang of guilt. Isla was right—she and Luca had both deceived her, and their words had lost all credibility in the little girl’s eyes.Unsure how to make things right, Vanessa stood outside the door, thinking of a way to coax her daughter out.“Sweetheart, I promise! Since Uncle Luca isn’t here today, Mommy will take you to the zoo, okay? If you come out, we can leave right away.”For a moment, there was only silence. Then, a small, hesitant voice answered, “Really?”“Yes, really! Mommy guarantees it!”The door slowly cracked open, and the moment Isla spotted her mother standing there, she threw herself into Vanessa’s arms. Sobbing softly, she

His gaze suddenly sharpened as he walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window to check the surroundings of the community, then dialed the phone number for the head of his company's legal department.“Did you see the news?”The head of the legal department, Mike, remained calm, even joking, “You should be talking to the PR department about this. What do you need me for?”“Mike, I’m not joking!”Mike, the youngest genius lawyer in France, was also Daxton’s childhood friend and a friend of Vanessa. He harbored feelings of admiration for Vanessa but knew his family wouldn’t approve of him dating someone like her. He kept those feelings hidden and treated her like a close friend instead.“Alright, alright, don’t worry. I care about Vanessa’s situation even more than you do; after all, she’s m

The manager immediately frowned and sneered, “I didn’t expect Miss Hutchson to be this kind of person. Last time at the hospital, you promised me you would keep your distance from Leonardo. How is it that just a few days later, you can’t help yourself?

However, due to the manager’s status, she suppressed her anger and tried to explain patiently, “You’ve really misunderstood; I absolutely don’t mean that.” The manager curled his lip, not believing Mariah’s words.

Clearing his throat, the old man replied solemnly, “Luca, this situation has come up unexpectedly. I plan to personally go to the company, and I’d like you to come with me.” After a moment of silence, Luca refused, “Grandpa, I think I’ll pass. It’s rare for me to have a break, and I’d like to rest a bit more.” Hearing this, the old man sighed. “Alright then, I won’t force you.” He understood that Luca’s reluctance to return to the company was likely due to Vanessa.
