Just as Mrs. Everett was playing with Evelyn in the yard, a group of guards in black rushed through the gate, forcibly snatching Evelyn from Mrs. Everett. They moved so quickly, Mrs. Everett didn’t even have a chance to react and call out for help before the child was taken to the car. Realizing what happened, Mrs. Everett hurriedly tried to block their way. "Who are you? How dare you! To snatch my grandchild in broad daylight, give him back to me." Little Evelyn was also struggling in the arms of the men in black, crying out, "Grandma, save me." Mrs. Everett screamed, trying to reach out and grab little Evelyn. But she was stopped by two strong men in black, who spoke to her calmly: "We will take the child to the Grant Family, Mrs. Everett. If you want to see the child, you can go to the Grant Family!" "Of course, you can also call the police, but the child is President Grant’s after all, so it’s uncertain if the police will intervene." With that, the group quickly got into the car, forcibly taking Evelyn away. "Evelyn, my little grandchild..." Mrs. Everett wanted to chase after them, but due to an unhealed injury on her foot, she staggered and fell to the ground. The housemaids heard her and quickly came over, concerned: "Madam, what happened? Where is the little master?" Mrs. Everett, flustered and anxious, cried out: "Quick, call the police, say someone trespassed and kidnapped the child, also call Raina, tell her that Adrian sent people to take Evelyn away." The maids rushed to carry out her orders. Helping Mrs. Everett back inside the house. Raina Lowell was at the hospital taking care of Alaric Jennings. When she received her mother’s call, hearing her crying say that Adrian sent people to take Evelyn from the Everett Family. She sat beside Alaric Jennings’ hospital bed, her face turning pale with anger. After putting away her phone, Raina Lowell looked at Alaric Jennings, "You stay in the hospital and rest well. I’ll have someone come to take care of you, I need to leave for a while." Alaric Jennings noticed Raina’s poor expression and reached out to hold onto her. Raina Lowell didn’t hide the truth, "Adrian took Evelyn away, I need to go find him and get her back." That man is truly outrageous. Not only did he injure Alaric Jennings, causing facial disfigurement, but he also had the audacity to abduct a child from the Everett Family. Does he really think he can rule over Southgate, that the law can’t touch him? If he pushes her to the brink, she’ll go down with him. "How can Adrian be so shameless? He hasn’t cared for the child for a single day and yet has the gall to take her away." Alaric Jennings didn’t feel safe letting Raina go alone, despite his own discomfort he got up, wanting to accompany her. "We should go together. I’ll definitely help you get Evelyn back." Raina Lowell pressed him back onto the bed. "Your hand is fractured, and your face is so swollen, stay in the hospital. I’ll take the police and lawyers to the Grant Family to demand her return. They won’t dare to refuse." She would also bring a dagger with her. If Adrian doesn’t return Evelyn to her, she’ll personally kill that man. Some people, unless you’re ruthless with them, will just continue to disgust you. Alaric Jennings felt uneasy. Gripping Raina’s hand tightly, unwilling to let go, he gazed deeply into her eyes, "You’ll come back soon, right?" He didn’t know why, but he had a sense of foreboding. Afraid that once Raina left him, she wouldn’t return. Even though he and Raina were married now, Raina was his, and they had their whole lives ahead of them. He just couldn’t shake the unease in his heart. Raina Lowell returned the grip on his hand, trying to reassure him: "Don’t worry, once I get Evelyn, we’ll come back to stay with you, you don’t need to worry about me." "Alright, I’ll wait for you." Alaric Jennings let her go. In his heart, he prayed that Raina could truly bring the child back successfully. If not, he wasn’t confident he could keep this marriage together. After learning that Adrian sent people to abduct the child, Mr. Everett and Ethan Everett rushed to the Grant Family’s old residence. Adrian knew they would come for the child. He instructed his mother to take the child upstairs and keep her there, also stationed many guards at the gate, denying entry to the Everett Family. At that moment, Adrian was taken to the police station for questioning due to an assault charge. After being questioned, Caleb Landon came to pick him up. Just as they left, the police took him back for sending people to trespass and abduct a child. Adrian honestly explained the situation. The police believed the child was President Grant’s, considering it a private family matter, and with bail paid, they released Adrian. When Adrian returned to the old residence, he saw the Everett Family blocking their gate, demanding the return of the child. He sat in the car with Caleb Landon, calmly smoking a cigarette. Caleb Landon watched from beside him, a bit worried: "President, should I send people to drive them away?" Adrian noticed Raina among the crowd. The woman who went to get a marriage certificate with Alaric Jennings early this morning. Did she think that by bringing the Everett Family and lawyers, he would return the child to her? He had said that if Raina dared be with another man, he’d claim custody of the child. Although the custody of the child is not yet in his hands. But if he wants it, isn’t it just a matter of minutes? Adrian Grant instructed Caleb Landon to drive. Caleb honked the horn, and the car slowly drove toward the Everetts ahead. When Ethan Everett looked back, he saw Adrian Grant approaching in the car, and he reminded Raina Lowell. The family then approached and surrounded Adrian Grant’s car, demanding him to return the child. But Adrian Grant acted as if he didn’t hear them, his car windows remained closed, and he indicated for Caleb to continue driving. The iron gates of The Grant Family’s villa slowly moved aside, and as the car drove in, the Everetts wanted to rush in but were stopped by the bodyguards inside. Raina Lowell, enraged, grabbed the iron gate and shouted hoarsely: "Adrian Grant, give my son back to me. What right do you have to take him away? You’re not fit to be a father at all." Mr. Everett was also furious, instructing the bodyguards they brought along to break down the door. But Ethan stopped them, advising from the side: "Dad, having a conflict with them won’t do us any good. Adrian Grant just wants the child, he won’t harm him. We have to negotiate with him properly." "Did he negotiate with us when he sent people to snatch Evelyn away? If I don’t get my grandson back today, I’m not worthy to be his grandpa." Mr. Everett, despite his age, pressed forward without any hesitation to attempt to crash the door. At this moment, Caleb Landon emerged from the group of bodyguards, standing in front of Raina Lowell through the iron gate and conveyed a message for Adrian Grant. "Miss Lowell, the President invites you to come in and talk, everyone else should go back! The child belongs to The Grant Family, and naturally, The Grant Family wouldn’t mistreat him." Mr. Everett persisted, still intending to break the door. But Raina Lowell held him back. "Dad, you wait here with Ethan. I’ll go in and talk to him." Violence really couldn’t solve the problem. She wanted to see how Adrian Grant planned to negotiate with her, and if they reached an impasse, she intended to kill that man with her own hands. To see if The Grant Family would ever dare covet her son again. "Alright, we’ll wait outside for you. Have a proper conversation with her." Little did he know that his daughter carried a dagger with her. This time entering The Grant Family, she was prepared to face whatever may come. Raina Lowell was led by Caleb Landon into The Grant Family’s living room, where she saw Adrian Grant sitting on the sofa, his face bruised, and his hand bandaged. The man was impeccably dressed, exuding a sense of nobility. She approached him full of hatred, grinding her molars. Adrian Grant looked at her indifferently, "I’ll give you two choices; either the child stays with me, and you live your married life with Alaric Jennings." "Or you divorce Alaric Jennings, and I’ll return the child to you." How could he possibly let his own child call another man ’dad’? How could he bear to see the woman he loved become someone else’s wife? If he hadn’t spared Alaric Jennings back then, it was already his mercy. If Raina couldn’t do as he wished, he would do even more excessive things. "Adrian Grant, what right do you have to instruct me? You forced me to divorce you back then, and you watched our daughter die without lifting a finger." "And now you’ve taken my Evelyn. Aren’t you afraid that if you treat him , he’ll grow up seeking revenge on you?" Her son had said more than once in front of her that he hated this dad. That he would never acknowledge this dad in his lifetime. Now that they captured him, it would only hurt Evelyn more inside. He might never forgive having such a brutal and cold-blooded father in his lifetime. Adrian Grant’s heart twisted in pain, yet he acted as if nothing was wrong. "The child is only three, what does he understand? I’ll guide him patiently, spend time with him, and over time, he’ll forget everything." He still wanted Raina to divorce, staring into her eyes, wounded and gloomy. "Tomorrow, you go divorce Alaric Jennings, and I’ll let you take Evelyn away. If you don’t divorce, then don’t ever think of seeing Evelyn." Raina Lowell stood there stiffly, laughing bitterly. Today she just got her marriage certificate with Alaric Jennings, and tomorrow go for a divorce? What would that make Alaric? She wouldn’t divorce. Glancing back at Adrian Grant, Raina Lowell gritted her teeth. "Dream on, I love Alaric Jennings, not only will I not divorce him, but I’ll also happily live with my son and him." Adrian Grant listened, finding it finally impossible to pretend not to care. Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he rose to face Raina, his presence intimidating. "You love Alaric Jennings?" Raina faced his gaze, her resolve unwavering, "Yes." Adrian Grant felt again as if a sharp object had ruthlessly pierced his heart, ripping his chest apart in suffocating agony. He stood before Raina, furiously gripping her shoulders, growling: Updates are released by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵 "You love him yet you married me and slept with me, you love him yet you never bore him a child, how come you never left the country for good." "It was because you forced me." Raina faced him, shouting in anger: "If you hadn’t said grandpa was dying back then and called me back, how could I possibly return and be forced into this marriage by you." "Adrian Grant, give my son back to me, or I’ll kill you myself." She truly couldn’t bear it anymore. If Evelyn wasn’t returned soon, she really would kill him. Adrian Grant chuckled, thinking she wouldn’t possibly have the guts to kill. He turned and picked up the fruit knife from the coffee table, placing it in Raina’s palm, indicating his own chest: "Here, stab me right here, if you really kill me today, you can take your son away, and no one will ever care about you being with any man for the rest of your life."
