Chapter 56

It was just a pity she wasn't very smart.

Angie found pride in scaring the wide-eyed child.

"Why are you still sitting around? Weren't you going to tell on me? Go on!"

"I'm going…" Thomas puffed up, scrambled to the landline in the kitchen, and patched the call to Noah's study.

"Daddy, I'm in the kitchen! Save me!"

Thomas played up his misery on the call and yammered on before hanging up the phone.

Angie, meanwhile, was cheerily imagining Noah's distress should he see her this way.

She could conquer him by tonight as long as she managed to tug at his heartstrings.

It was exciting to think about!

Noah was currently in his study tracking the location of the person who called herself Felix Turner's daughter.

When the landline rang, it was Wayne who picked up.

It only took seconds for his face to fall.

"Sir, Colton is in trouble!"

Wayne sped down the steps without another word.

Something felt amiss. Noah also got up and went downstairs.

A sight greeted Noah when he got there.

Wayne was by Thomas' side, the latter of which was on the couch drinking chocolate milk.

Angie, meanwhile, was struggling to get to her feet from the ground.
