How to deal with the aftermath and make a clean getaway? Just thinking about it gave Deon Myers a headache. But he couldn't show any of those emotions.
The boss had said that even if Julia Bluen and Glades Horne were together, she had to be brought before him.
Noah Reyes's two bodyguards were waiting inside the room.
After all the turmoil, it was now seven o'clock in the evening.
The setting sun had already plunged into the sea, and the last glimr of twilight was being devoured, bit by bit, by the black curtain of night.
"The boss said, please have Mrs. Horne go upstairs for a eting," the two bodyguards told Deon Myers sternly.
Understanding, Deon Myers let the two bodyguards take Julia upstairs while he turned to go outside to face the furiously approaching Glades Horne, along with the dozen or so ard criminal police who were in pursuit.
"RING! RING! RING!" Deon Myers's phone rang again; it was another call from Silvia Baxter.
"Silvia Baxter... What? Alright, I got it. I'll notify the boss imdiately," Deon Myers said. He imdiately turned back, rushing upstairs. Noah Reyes stood in front of the second-floor hall window, which faced the Manor's main gate. He could clearly see Glades Horne's car charging madly this way, yet his deanor remained cold and composed, as though Glades's fury and rage were no more noticeable than a flea's performance.
Julia Bluen was taken to the second floor, where she calmly sat down by herself.
"Boss."
Deon Myers hurried upstairs, approached Noah Reyes, and whispered into his ear, "Silvia Baxter has kidnapped the son of Glades Horne and Adele Horne. Adele's son looks a lot like you, Boss, and Silvia Baxter is worried he might be your son..."
"Let Silvia Baxter go to hell!" Noah Reyes suddenly exploded in anger.
In dealing with Glades Horne, he had exhausted every ans. However, he never intended for Silvia Baxter to choose the path of a kidnapper. He never expected that she would kidnap Glades's son on her own initiative—and his own son too! Was this Heaven slapping him in the face? His subordinate had kidnapped his son! Now that he had forcefully requested Julia Bluen's presence, Glades Horne was about to blow up. If Glades found out that his subordinate had also taken his son, wouldn't Glades tear him apart? Until the day before yesterday, he wasn't the least bit afraid of Glades Horne. But now, knowing there was a 99.9 percent chance Glades was his future brother-in-law, he was scared!
"Have Silvia Baxter send them back imdiately! No, have the young master brought here first!" Even before the father and son had t or recognized each other, Noah Reyes had already assigned Jimmy Horne the identity of young master of Blazing Fla.
"Yes."
Deon Myers felt as if he were on a roller coaster, spinning round and round.
Things were changing too fast, too suddenly.
With his son in the hands of his own n, Noah Reyes felt that summoning Julia Bluen was pointless. However, he didn't imdiately let her go. Without speaking to Julia, he continued to stand by the window, watching Glades Horne outside. Glades got out of the car and glared coldly at the Manor. He didn't force his way in; Deon Myers had warned him, telling him to prioritize Julia's safety.
Benjamin Robinson also didn't dare act rashly, and both parties were locked in this standoff.
「An hour later.」
"Let go! If you dare, co at one-on-one, you punks!" The door to the room was forced open, and Jimmy Horne was dragged out. He was taken away alone and secretly entered the Manor through the back door. He was brought into the Main House, up to the second floor, and before Noah Reyes.
Jimmy Horne struggled violently, punching and kicking the man who was forcibly carrying him up the stairs, using every trick in the book.
At the sound of the child's young and comical voice, Noah Reyes's whole body shuddered, and he beca inexplicably tense.
He turned around and saw the boy, put down on the ground by his subordinates, imdiately straighten his back and look up as if issuing a challenge.
Perhaps feeling he was too short, Jimmy climbed onto the couch. He stood there to continue his standoff. Just as he was about to continue his tirade, a pair of strong hands reached out, enveloping him tightly and then lifting him up. The small body was gently turned to face the owner of the hands.
Dark eyes, filled with an indescribable expression, stared intently at him.
Who is this?
Noah Reyes held Jimmy Horne tightly, his gaze fixed and intensely focused, watching him without blinking.
"Who are you? You look familiar; who do you resemble?" Jimmy asked Noah curiously, blinking his bright eyes. Upon seeing Noah's face, he adopted a thoughtful pose, looking incredibly cute.
His expression made Noah's heart itch uncontrollably, and he planted a firm kiss on the boy's cheek.
Jimmy quickly pushed away Noah's handso face, looking at him with even more confusion. Surprisingly, he didn't dislike being kissed by this man.
Moreover, the anger from being forcibly brought here by those bad guys had vanished in the presence of this handso uncle. He found the uncle strange, in a way his young age prevented him from describing. All he knew was that he didn't dislike the uncle, and even felt an urge to be close to him.
Julia Bluen, sitting on the couch with her back to the staircase, was startled when she heard and saw "Billy." She froze, then chose to remain silent, quietly watching the father and son.
Although Hansen Ruiz had called her earlier, asking her to tell the teacher to put the kids on the school bus, she knew that with Noah's abilities, he would surely et Billy if he found out about him. Subconsciously, she wanted to take Jimmy away from Noah, fearing Noah might harm him, but seeing Noah's ecstatic expression, all her movents froze. There was no need to ask or guess; it was apparent that Noah was Jimmy's biological father. She didn't even need to confirm it. They were father and son. She had no right to stop their reunion.
At that mont, Julia didn't know that Silvia Baxter had kidnapped her son, nor that the reunion between Noah and his son was sowhat dramatic.
She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. Noah Reyes was the man who had taken Adele Horne's innocence back then! When she saw Noah, she wondered why he had snatched her away in front of Glades Horne. Noah must have rembered who she was. It was also upon seeing him that she recalled eting this man four years ago. When she had seen him four years earlier, he had been aggressive, but he changed upon seeing Adele. Back then, she had suspected sothing, but to think... He hadn't forgotten about Adele, had he? His reappearance must have been for Adele, right?
"Billy," Noah called out in a husky voice.
He sat down holding Jimmy Horne, facing him. The little fellow had been facing Noah and his subordinates the whole ti, so he hadn't seen Julia Bluen yet. Julia was sitting on the couch with her back to him. Naturally, the little guy hadn't noticed her when he arrived, and he was even less likely to be distracted now.
