Israel's icy glare slid from Stella to Joshua, then landed on Keen.

His voice shook with anger. "While every one of us is beside ourselves with worry over Aurora's kidnapping, you're off having a merry time, taking your son sightseeing. Stella, do you even have a conscience?"

He jabbed a finger at Keen, his voice rising to a shout. "Stella, the Williams estate isn't some place for you to do as you please! Take your son and get out-right now!"

Keen shrank back, startled by Israel's fury. He'd never met Uncle Israel or Uncle Coleman until today. Aunt Aurora had told him they were good people, that they'd been looking forward to meeting him, had even prepared gifts. But Keen never imagined his Uncle Israel could look so terrifying, like some kind of monster from a nightmare.

Joshua gently drew Keen behind him, a faint smile playing on his lips. "When Leonard kidnapped and tortured Star, the evidence was clear. Funny, I didn't hear you demanding he be thrown out of the Williams family. But now, Star comes home with her child, and you're the first to hurl insults. Second Young Master, I used to think you only bullied women like Star. At least she's an adult—she can take it. But now you'd turn on a child? If someone didn't know better, they'd think it was this boy who kidnapped your precious darling. Pathetic. Absolutely disgraceful."

Joshua's words painted all over the Williams family's faces-indignation, then shame. Their cheeks flushed red and pale by turns.
