The little trio also glared at Azalea, their faces sour. Seeing the opportunity, Eugene spoke up. “Alright, North. You three should go wait in the car. Daddy will be there soon.”
North immediately looked at him in disbelief. “Are you not coming with us?” “I am. I’ll be right behind you.”
North glared at Eugene. “Aren’t you worried that Mommy will misunderstand? What can be so important that you have to listen to her?” “Don’t be rude, North!” Eugene sternly warned the boy.
“Hmph! Fine! Hear her out all you want! We are going!” North then stormed off. The trio also turned to Eugene and told him, “We are telling Godmother!’ They quickly followed North after throwing that out.
Eugene sighed and rubbed his temple in frustration. Like his son, this wasn’t an act; those children were genuinely giving him a headache.
“I’m sorry, Eugene.” Azalea looked apologetic. “Did I put you in a difficult position again?” Eugene, who was not in the mood for pleasantries, pulled his eyebrows together. “What do you want to say?”
Azalea had initially wanted to ask Eugene to get a paternity test done, but she changed her mind. If she asked Eugene, it might alert Olivia, and Eugene might end up compromising for Olivia’s sake. Azalea decided it would be better if she did the test for them herself.
I would like to see if Eugene would still want Olivia if she turned out to have a b*stard child with someone else. With that in mind, she spoke up. “I only wanted to tell you that your son might get jealous from seeing how well you treat these three children.”
“It’s fine. They get along well.” Azalea continued, “That may be true, but the children probably can’t help but feel upset even if they don’t say it. It will be better for you to treat them differently.”
Eugene nodded, casually glancing in the direction of Curtis’ car whose engine was already running. Despite knowing that everything was going according to plan, his heart sank considerably.
He subconsciously started to approach the car. Things were going smoother than Azalea had thought it would. When she noticed his reaction, she pretended to be anxious. “Eugene, whose car are the children riding in?”
Eugene’s steps came to a halt. “Don’t worry about it. It’s the bodyguards’ car.” “I’m glad.” She smiled. “You should still go and check on them.”
Eugene only hummed without saying a word. As his deep eyes fell on Azalea, his gaze was filled with indescribable complexity. He soon turned away and left.
After he walked away, Azalea got into her car as well and immediately made a phone call. “The children have gotten into the bodyguards car. Proceed according to plan.”
And so…
Curtis’ car had only driven a short distance when it was blocked by another car. Knowing that it was Azalea’s group’s doing, Curtis obediently stopped the car and waited until a man approached and knocked on hist window.
The moment Curtis rolled down the window, a shiny knife was immediately pressed against his neck. “I want you to do nothing other than scoot to the passenger seat.”
In the back seat, the four children were huddled together, pretending to be frightened as they shrieked “Ah!!!”
The man gestured toward the four children in the back. “Keep shouting, and I will kill him!” The four of them stopped screaming as they were asked. Being the born actors that they were, each one acted like they were too scared to speak.
What the man didn’t know was that Jewel was hiding in the backseat. Being petite in stature, she was completely hidden by the tall car seats. There was nothing that indicated her presence in the car.
