Chapter 243

Janet raised a brow and stared back at him defiantly, “Huge trouble? Like what? Are you going to lock me in your study again?”

Westin grinned, flashing his white teeth, “That is a very good idea. And this time. when you beg me to stop….I won’t stop.”

Janet gave a huge heave and forced out a cold smile as well, “Relax. I won’t escape. your side again. Nevertheless…you ARE the father of my child.”

Now it was Westin’s turn to darken his face.

They glared at each other with only an inch of gap between their faces. The others would probably think that they were intimate. But only the two of them could see the

Elder Lamonte stood up from the House of Shadow’s table and raised his glass,

“Please take your seat. Let us toast to you!”

“Hear! Hear!” a lot of elders echoed with him, “Let us toast to the hero who found. out the truth of this conspiracy!”

Agnes was sitting by the table as well, holding her head down.

“Not so fast, Elder Lamonte.” Janet said with a cold smile, “There is still one more business to be tackled before we start celebrating.”

She gave a nod to Clemente, who bore down upon Agnes and grabbed her wrist.

“You! OUT!”

He snarled and yanked Agnes up from her seat.

A round of gasps could be heard in the room.

“What is going on here!” cried an elder in shock.

A tiny figure rushed at him and clasped his leg, taking a bite at his leg.

It was Agnes’s son, Bryan.

“Let go of my mom!” the child shrieked.

Clemente grabbed the child by his collar and shoved him at a servant.
