Even an ordinary unrelated person wouldn’t have been able to starve a four-year-old for a whole
week! Even he, Justin, had never abused Xander after meeting the child, despite how much he
hated Trueman.
Ruth was badly frightened when she heard Justin’s words.She swallowed.
“W-what are you saying? I am his mother.If you don’t believe me, then ask Xander!”
Xander was standing at the side and looking at Justin in confusion.
He didn’t understand why Justin had suddenly come in, or why he was suddenly so angry.
But he still thought of the instructions Trueman had given him before he came to the States.He had
told him to cooperate with Ruth.
It would do as long as it didn’t expose her identity.

Ruth’s question at this moment was putting him in a spot, though.He didn’t want to speak lies like
Ruth was his mother.
The little fellow in an internal struggle said, “She…”
“Shut up!”
Justin suddenly barked in a low voice.
The man had a very powerful aura around him and he gave off a very oppressive feeling.
In this small and dark basement, he was clearly the king of this world, dominating one’s life and
death! Those two words of his frightened Xander.
Then, the man said in a low voice, “Where’s the butler?”
“Here, sir.”
“Take Xander upstairs and put him to bed”
“Yes, sir”
Without another word, the butler picked up Xander in his arms and walked out of the basement at
once.
For the first time, Xander became scared.
Just when he thought he was going to be eaten, a big and tall figure suddenly appeared in front of
him.
He couldn’t see the tall figure’s face because his back was to him, but for some strange reason, in
the dream, he found the figure very reliable, and he gave him a strong sense of security.
Early the next morning, Nora brought Pete and Cherry to the Hunts’ manor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as they entered, Cherry dived into Justin’s arms like a butterfly.
In her young and tender voice, she shouted, “Daddy, Daddy! Did you miss me?”
Justin caught the little girl and picked her up.
Then, he replied, “Yes, I did.”
Cherry immediately gave him a kiss on the forehead.
“I missed you too! I even dreamed of you!”
“Really?” Justin sounded pleasantly surprised.
“What did you dream ?”
Cherry started to talk about her dream.
Pete followed beside the two of them with a disdainful look, his expression as though he had
nothing to live for anymore.
At this moment, Justin’s large hand suddenly landed on his head and ruffled his hair.
Pete immediately lowered his head and avoided his hand.
