At that moment, Cecil was in total shock!

The media had gotten in touch with him for confirmation, and upon learning that the designs were indeed his son's work, their tone shifted dramatically, showering him with congratulations and telling him he had struck gold!

Even talent agencies were reaching out, hoping to sign Emmett early.

And studios were inquiring if Emmett had more designs to sell, willing to pay top dollar for them.

Cecil could hardly believe it. Just two drawings had caused such a sensation!

"Good Lord, this is like hitting the jackpot!" he thought. "No wonder they don't want to give back our son; they've seen the golden opportunity!

Damn it, I must get Emmett back, make him draw day and night to fill my pockets!"

Claire too saw the news online.

She was over the moon about her son's success and was quite excited.

"Cecil, they're saying our son could be a huge star! We can't ruin his future; we should let him stay with Ms. Thorne and let them nurture his talent."

Cecil frowned,

"What do you know? This talent is our son's own, nothing to do with them! He can make it big without any external grooming! It's all thanks to my genes!"

Claire shrank back, whispering,
