True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 209

The moment Lacy’s mom caught sight of the child cradled in the stranger’s arms, he couldn’t contain herself and her cry shattered the silence.

Lacy seemed startled and with a teary voice cried out, “Mommy.”

The live–stream audience was buzzing with excitement.

They hadn’t expected Lacy to be found so abruptly, but they quickly noticed that something was off with the hostess‘ emotions.

Lacy clearly wanted to break free and run to her mother, but was held in a vice–like grip.

The host, witnessing the scene, was incredulous and stepped forward, bellowing at his wife, “Amanda. What in the world are you doing? Let that child go, now.”

“I won’t.” The woman known as Amanda glared maniacally at Lacy’s mom, “She doesn’t

deserve to be a mother. She’s going to kill this child. I can’t let him go with her.”

The viewer were stunned. She shouted, “What are you blabbering about? That’s my cousin. You’re kidnapping him. Give him back.”

Amanda clung tighter to Lacy, even attempting to climb onto the balcony railing with him.

Everyone’s face drained of color, and the husband was on the verge of collapse, “Amanda. Get a grip. Bring the child down. He’s not like our own.”

“What do you mean ‘not like our own‘? He’s just a baby. They want to take him into surgery. Kids don’t come back from the operating table.” As she spoke, Amanda’s eyes reddened, tears welling up rapidly.

Lacy’s mom suddenly recalled stories of Amanda, whose own child had died during surgery. The couple had been distraught for ages.

She also remembered mentioning Lacy’s condition and upcoming surgery in a group, which Amanda had opposed, even taking her aside to talk about it.
