Chapter 7
Vera jolted. She could hardly stand. If Neil wasn’t clinging tightly to Vera, she might have dropped him.
What Vera feared most came true. Carlos had discovered her son, and now he had come in take him away. What should she do? Despair and desperation gripped her. Vera froze.
“It’s you?” Carlos recognized Vera as the woman he had seen at the cemetery-
Carlos did not expect to see her here today. Carlos had investigated and discovered Averie did not have the guts to destroy Vera’s grave. The other possible suspect was Vera. Only she was there at that time. But what grudge did she have against Vera? Why did she destroy Vera’s graver Carlos thought.
Carlos hurried forward, grabbi
grabbing Vera’s wrist to de
to demand an explanation. He accidentally touched the wound on
n her arm.
Vera gasped in pain. She had some common medicines on her motorcycle, but unfortunately, she couldn’t get them now.
“Are you injured?” Carlos noticed Vera’s pale face and dark lips, his cold voice sounding concerned.
“It’s none of your business” Vera only wanted to leave with her child. Although she did her best to hide her son’s face, his profile resembled Carlos Vera couldn’t afford to risk it. She didn’t want to stay there anymore.
“Hold on,” Carlos reached out so
Hop
Carlos had noticed the child a long time ago. Neil looked just like him. Why Vera deliberately hiding the child’s face from him? Were there two groups trying to kidnap his son today!
“Is this your child: Give him to met Carlos ordered domineeringly, reaching out to take him away.
Vera’s heart almost leaped out of her throat. She kicked out swiftly.
If not for Carlos’s quick reflexes, he would be on the ground in pain. Vera had aimed for his crotch! Still, Vera’s foot connected painfully with his inner thigh
While Carlos was in pain, Vera rushed out with Neil. “Help! They’re child traffickers. They want to take my son from me.”
Vera’s shouts were effective. Several people at the intersection stopped and looked at them.
However, Carlos’s bodyguards were not to be underestimated. They not only captured the injured Vera but also dispersed the gathering crowd. “Stay away! Monroe Group is conducting business here.”
The onlookers scattered the moment they heard it was the Monroe Group. Vera was brought back to Carlos.
Vera didn’t dare to look at Carlos’s sullen face. She heard his loud breathing and could tell how furious he was. Vera’s hands grew cold. This is it. 1 haven’t settled my score with him and avenge myself, but my son and Lare exposed, Vera thought. ‘Damn it, James. What the hell is he doing? Why it he and the bodyguards taking so long!
men can’t come in?
Samuel sighed. “Dad has blocked all the intersections near the kindergarten. Uncle’s men
He was able to see where Vera and Neil were on his phone. When they stopped, Samuel activated the program designed by his Uncle Jarden, hacked into the surveillance with a single tap, and realized Vera and Neil were intercepted by his scumbag father.
“What should we dor Will our scumbag father hurt Mommy?” Catherine was almost in tears. She shook Samuel’s arm. “Samuel, think of something.”
Samuel was also worried. Suddenly, he noticed a tram of bodyguards from the Monroe family approaching them.
An idea struck hun. Samuel hurriedly whispered something to Catherine, pulled down his mask, and walked toward those bodyguards.
“Bring her luar) I want to interrogate herf With Carlos’s command, his bodyguards held Vera down.
Carlos’s expression was extraordinarily cold and ominous. He reached out to take the child from V
Vera.

Neil clung to Vera as hard as he could, afraid he wouldn’t be able to see his mother again if he left th Carlos. But a child’s strength was nothing compared to an adub’s.
Carlos effortlessly took Neil from Vera–just as Neil was about to be exposed, Carlos suddenly received a call from the leader of the bodyguards. “Mr. Neil has been found. He’s in the kindergarten, playing with the new clasınute”

The leader even sent a photo to reassure Carlos. Carlos’s heart softened when he saw Neil’s smiling face. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

I’m sorry, I made a mistake” Carlos rubbed Neil’s head, but his apology was distant and cold. However, it was already rare for him. Vera had lived with Carlos for several years and had never heard him apologize.
“Are you crazy! How can you mistake your child? My son has autism and hates contact with strangers. What if you scared him?” Vera couldn’t help but berate furiously. She also made up a reason so the astute Carlos wouldn’t be suspicious. “But since I kicked you, let’s consider it even. Please stay away from my son in the future.”
Vera tried to leave, but Carlos stopped her again. “What else do you want?” She was about to lose her temper.
Carlos’s voice was cold. “You’re injured. My people will take you to the hospital. With that, he left, leaving a bodyguard and a car behind.
Carlos issued commands, and others had to obey.
“Madam, this way, please, the bodyguard spoke politely to Vera
Vera knew that Carlos wasn’t kind–hearted. He probably wanted the bodyguard to find out information about her. Vera refused, “No need. My family is here. You can leave
Vera looked up and saw James finally arriving. She collapsed weakly into James’s arm
‘s arms. With the last bit of strength. Vera told him the antidote and pointed to the trailer where her son was kidnapped. They had to find out who was responsible.
James sent someone to get the antidote. When he was about to carry Vera to the car, he smelled something wrong. He looked at the trailer and saw The gasoline on the ground. James shouted, “Run!”
Suddenly, the trailer exploded.
