Chapter 112 Custody Battle Over Justin

"Ethan's voice dripped with a stern warning, "How could a kindergarten with the highest safety standards in San Francisco let a child leave early without notifying the family? If something happens to the child, the school cannot shirk responsibility."

"M... Mr. Douglas, the principal personally..." The teacher, visibly shaken, stammered as she began to speak.

"Get the principal here," Ethan commanded, his anger palpable, while simultaneously phoning Liam. "Check the surveillance around the kindergarten, see who took Justin away, and do it quickly."

Soon, the principal rushed out. "M... Mr. Douglas..."

"Is my kid something that just anyone can pick up and take away from your school?" Ethan's temperature was dangerously low. His usual cold demeanor now saturated with suppressed rage made him all the more intimidating.

"M... Mr. Douglas, your child?" The principal was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the record. "Are you referring to little Justin? Mr. Patrick Sr. came himself, said he was the child's grandfather, and came on behalf of the kid's father to pick him up."

Jasmine's grip on her phone tightened, her hand freezing in place. The Patrick Family... Mr. Patrick Sr.?

He'd come to take away Justin himself. What was he planning to do?

"There's no father, no grandfather for that child... Why would you let them take him without my consent? Why! You all know my cellphone number." Jasmine's voice was fueled by rising panic.

Ethan wrapped an arm around Jasmine, his tone commanding yet subdued. "The school better have a satisfactory explanation for this."

After speaking, he escorted a distraught Jasmine away. "Mr. Patrick Sr. acknowledges Justin as part of the Patrick Family, he won't harm him. Justin is clever, not even a kidnapper could lure him away. He wouldn't just go with a stranger, let's find the kid and hear his side of the story."

Jasmine's face was ashen, her body quivering non-stop, ultimately dropping to the ground in weakness, her eyes burning.

She was terrified, scared that the Patrick Family would truly fight her for Justin's custody.

"Jasmine, take a deep breath," Ethan coaxed, crouching in front of her with a soothing voice. "Look at me, Justin will be fine. Don't be afraid. As long as you don't agree, no one can take Justin away from you, trust me."

Jasmine's breaths were fast and shallow as she looked at Ethan, her eyes alight with an intense gaze.
