Leah cursed under her breath, "He's dead meat." Tanya clenched her molars so hard that she nearly cracked a tooth, and furious blood surged to her heart, ready to explode with anger, but she pretended to be calm.
"I'm quite curious who the child takes after?" She glanced at Jessica. "Hey Jessica, mind if | pop over to see the kid?" Jessica casually sipped her coffee, saying slowly, "Too late for that. He's already boarded a plane off to the island." A violent shudder coursed through Tanya's body, "But we haven't nailed the adulterer yet. How cyou've already shipped the child off?" "His DNA's all we needed," Jessica said with a chilling indifference.
Leah perked up. " Jessica, are you sending that little guy to the island?" "Yeah, the Stirling family never mess around with our reputation," Jessica said coldly. "Unless the deadbeat dad comes forward to own up and face the music, the kid's gonna grow up on that island." Leah gave a thumbs up. "Jessica, you're a total badass." Jessica deserved the nof the matriarch of the Stirling family! Skyler made a face. "Guess we've got ourselves a Baby Robinson Crusoe." "Jessica, where's this island?" Leah piped up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It's somewhere in the Caribbean. From now on, any traitor to the family gets a one-way ticket there, banished for life." Jessica's voice was like a breeze, yet it whipped up a storm in Tanya's heart.
It was clearly Leopold's vendetta. He was always ruthless in his decisions, and falling into his hands meant a fate worse than death.
Aurelia nibbled on a cookie shaped like a rose petal, a sly smile curving her lips. "Classic Leopold, so creative. Locking someone on an island is the perfect penalty for betrayal, which helps keep the family tight and tidy." Tanya sighed. "But it's just a baby. It's not fair for him to pay for the sins of the adults. Jessica, con. Talk to Leopold and cut the poor child sslack." Jessica replied, "I've said we wouldn't talk about leniency unless the father comes forward to plead for mercy." Leah hummed lowly, "What a coward, all action and no guts. If he cared for the kid, he'd have stepped out and apologized already." Tanya's face turned pale. She finally figured out that it was a threat. Leopold had done it deliberately, using this cruel tactic to flush out the other party.
"Fear is he doesn't give a damn about the child. He might want to ditch him at the first chance." Leah pursed her lips. "Well, that's bad luck for the child to have a heartless father." Tanya was frantic inside. She needed a plan to rescue the child. From the corner of her eye, Tanya glanced at Aurelia. If she had something that Leopold valued to threaten him with, Leopold would have to release the child whether he wanted to or not.
Aurelia accompanied Jessica back to the Stirling Mansion that night.
Kane was already asleep. He had to attend classes the following morning.
Aurelia peeked into the nursery to find the child was sleeping soundly.
She kissed his little cheek affectionately and tucked him in properly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she exited the room, Leopold arrived and took her to the rooftop.
A bright moon was in the night sky, and only a few stars shone through due to the city lights.
But it was nice to lie back in a lounge chair, basking in the cool breeze.
Aurelia took out a chocolate, offering half to the man beside her. "So, where did you stash the child?" She knew the whole exile island’ spiel was only to spook Tanya. A child that small wouldn't last on a deserted island.
The kid was a bargaining chip for Ramona's parents.
Leopold's lips curled into a sly smile. "Somewhere out of reach of the AK Group, of course."
