“Dad, what did Mr. Baron mean by that?”

“Don’t worry about what Mr. Baron meant; in the short term, he won’t harm Natalie. What we need to look into is that rural couple from back then, and Uncle Xenon’s death.”

Waylon’s eyes were cold; there was none of the composure he had shown in front of Baron.

Flynn hesitated, as if he wanted to speak but held back.

“Dad, do you think Uncle Xenon really did something like that?”

“What I think doesn’t matter; the fact is, your sister was switched, and we were kept in the dark. All I want now is the truth. Can’t you see? Mr. Baron’s meaning is obvious—if the past isn’t explained, whether Natalie returns to the Stone family is still uncertain. On that point, Mr. Baron treats your sister quite well.”

As he spoke of Baron, a flicker of admiration passed through Waylon’s eyes.

Flynn said nothing, deeply shaken.

Waylon looked at his son and sighed. “I was too narrow–minded before. I wanted you to inherit the Stone family business without ever being stained by the world’s ugliness; I forgot how much darkness there really is out there. When your sister comes home, you’ll need to bear more responsibility. We’re men, and it’s our duty to protect the two women in our family.

“I understand, dad.”

Flynn nodded, and the two got into the car and left.

Baron waited until Waylon was gone before speaking in a low voice. “Change the investigation of that couple to be handled in secret; let the Stone family take the lead.”

“Yes, Mr. Baron.”

Someone answered and quickly withdrew.

Baron went to wash his hands, then returned to the bedroom.

Natalie was sleeping soundly.
