Chapter 400 Many Hands Behind the Kidnapping

"Your grandpa hit you again? How old are you now, and you still can't fight back?" Zev frowned. Caden had taken beatings a lot as a kid-Mick never seemed to like him much.

Caden's parents had passed away young. He and his brother inherited a lot at a young age, which only made them easier targets in the family.

There was also Caden's uncle, Tom Hardison-his grandfather's illegitimate son from an affair. The family estate had originally gone to Caden's father years ago, but after his parents died, Mick wanted his youngest son to reap the benefits instead.

If Sidney hadn't been smart and capable, the family would've drained the duo dry a long time ago.

"Can't fight him? I just don't want to get my hands dirty," Caden snapped.

He couldn't win back then. And even now, yeah, still couldn't win.

The old man might be easier to deal with-he had a disability-but that uncle of his was a different story. He was trouble.

"Whatever. I'm sick; I don't have the energy to deal with you." Zev leaned against Kelly dramatically, using it as an excuse to act cute. "Darling, I'm dizzy. Carry me home."

Kelly was speechless but supported him toward the living room.

Jasper glared at his dad with both irritation and contempt. He then took Shane's hand and mimicked his old man. "Shane, I feel dizzy too. Carry me."

Shane, ever sincere, thought his brother was actually sick. He scooped him up right away, gently touching his forehead. But it doesn't feel warm.

Caden watched the scene unfold-one grown man, one kid-and stomped his foot in frustration.

Like father, like son. A chip off the old block, and trouble still runs in the family. "Zev, I really need to talk to you," Caden said, more urg ntly this time.

Kelly looked back, catching the tone. She let go of Zev and urged, "Caden might be serious. Truman's on his way over. You two go talk in the bedroom. I'll cook something."
