Hayden's expression was stern as he said, "Grandma won't let us go look for Mommy if we told her about it." Layla puffed her cheeks and looked a little torn as she said, "Okay... Let's just go find Mommy, then! What if Dirtbag Dad's picking on her?" Hayden pursed his lips, then came to a decision after a quick deliberation.

"I'll go alone. You wait at home. Come up with an excuse if Grandma comes back," he said, then left the house by himself.

As Layla watched the room door close behind Hayden, her long lashes fluttered, followed by streams of hot tears rolling down her cheeks.

How could she allow Hayden to go after Dirtbag Dad by himself? What if he got caught? 1 She could not lose her big brother! At that thought, Layla ran over to Mike's room in tears.

She opened the door, rushed to the disheveled bed, then yanked at Mike's arm and wailed, "Wake up, Uncle Mike! Hayden's gone! He left the house alone... He didn't take me with him..." Over at the Foster mansion, a servant walked out of the kitchen and wondered, "Why's the power out?" "We didn't get a notice about a power outage. I'll go turn on the backup generator," said Mrs Cooper.

Everything went back to normal once the backup generator was connected.

However, about ten minutes later, the backup power also went out.

When Elliot walked down the stairs, Mrs. Cooper approached him and immediately reported, "That power is out. It seems there's an issue with the backup generator, too. I've called someone over to work on it. | called up the electric utility company to ask about it, but | was told that we don't have a power outage in the area.” Elliot's expression was unwavered by her words.

He walked towards the front door as a bodyguard approached him. 1 "Sir, there's something weird about the power outage today. I've sent more people over." Elliot nodded, then continued to walk towards the front gates.

The bodyguard had no idea what he was planning to do, but followed him anyway.

Once he was at the gates, Elliot narrowed his eyes, then pointed at a tiny figure not too far away and ordered his bodyguard, "Bring him to me." The bodyguard noticed Hayden earlier, but did not think much of it since he was just a small child.

"Do you want me to bring that little boy over here, sir?" asked the bewildered bodyguard.

When Hayden heard their voices, not only did he not run away, but he walked over to them by himself.

The bodyguard was speechless.

Elliot kept his cold gaze on the child.

Hayden had changed his clothes and was wearing a different cap that still covered his face and features, but Elliot recognized him right away.

Elliot was sure that Hayden was behind the power outage.

If everything went according to plan, he would have hacked into the house's network, too.

It was certain that he was there for Avery.

Hayden arrived before the two men very quickly.

As he walked past Elliot, he "accidentally" stepped on his foot.

Elliot remained silent.

The bodyguard watched in horror as Hayden walked into the house nonchalantly, then immediately got to his knees and brushed off the dust on Elliot's shoe.

"What a rude kid, sir! You can tell right away he's a wild child whose parents never educated him!" cursed the bodyguard. "He might just be an orphan! Don't stoop to his level. I'll go kick him out right away." Elliot's expression was ice cold as he said, "You're right. He is, in fact, an orphan.” He then marched past the front yard towards the house.

When Hayden entered the living room, a few servants curiously stared at him.

"Avery Tate! I've come for you!" he yelled at the direction of the staircase.

Mrs. Cooper very quickly remembered the child.

"You're Hayden, right?" Mrs. Cooper asked as she bent down.

Once she saw his face, she pulled him over to the couch and said, "Your Mommy's still asleep! She'll come down after she wakes up." Elliot walked into the living room just in time to see Mrs. Cooper graciously placed a generous platter of fruit and snacks in front of Hayden.

With a sullen face, Elliot walked over to Hayden, picked up his bag and pulled out the laptop inside of it.

"Did you cut the power? Bring it back this instant! Otherwise..." Upon hearing Elliot's words, Hayden lifted his head and threw a defiant look at him.

When Elliot saw Hayden's face, both the words coming out of his mouth and his heartbeat came to a halt!
