Confused by his unusual expression, they ran upstairs as instructed.
Unaware of which room belonged to Axel, they ended up entering the last room on the second floor. They only realized it was Axel’s room after closing the door.
Tyler noticed a laptop in the room and wondered, ‘Is Axel interested in computers too?‘
He asked Liora for help, saying, “Lia, keep an eye on the situation outside and let me know if you hear footsteps.”
Excited to see the laptop, Liora asked, “Are you going to check Axel’s laptop?”
Tyler turned on the laptop and was shocked to find the same hacking software he used. This piqued his interest, and he told Liora, “I’m going to explore this. Keep watch!”
Liora nodded and said, “Sure!”
Meanwhile, Axel instructed the nanny and maid not to mention the visitors‘ presence. Anxiously, he sat on the sofa, pretending to watch TV as Daniella entered the house.
Daniella glared at Axel and asked coldly, her disgust evident, “Is your father on a business trip?”
Axel nodded without looking at her. He felt his palms sweaty and his back tense, fearing Daniella/
might go upstairs.
Soon, he heard the sound of Daniella heading upstairs.
Axel turned to look at Daniella, then hurriedly jumped off the sofa and followed her.
Upon reaching the second floor, Daniella realized Axel was following her.
Glaring at Axel in disgust, she asked, “Why are you following me?”
Axel feared her reaction and clenched his fists tightly. “I’m going back to my room.
Daniella shouted, “If you want to go to your room, don’t walk around like a ghost!”
Her outburst startled the two children in the room.
Liora was taken aback. “There’s a woman shouting outside. Is that Axel’s Mommy? She sounds really fierce. Will she come in here?”
Tyler looked at the door and calmly ordered, “Lock the door.”
“It’s going to make a sound,” Liora said fearfully, her face scrunching up.
“It won’t,” Tyler replied while typing on the keyboard. “It’s a silent lock. Just lock it.”
He needed a few more minutes to crack Axel’s software password to verify if they shared the same hobby. He was willing to take the risk rather than let his effort go to waste.
Liora swiftly pressed the lock and patted her chest in relief upon hearing no noise from it.
Daniella felt something was amiss as Axel had always avoided being in the same place as her.
Yet, he followed her today. She stared at him. “Are you hiding something from me?”
“No,” Axel answered.
Daniella sneered. “Really? You just want to go back to your room, right? Then go!”
Axel stood there anxiously, unsure if Tyler and Liora were in his room. Daniella would punish him for lying if she saw them when he opened the door
After a moment of hesitation, he chose to walk to his room.
Axel pushed down the door handle of his room to discover that it was locked.
They were there!
Noticing that Axel was not moving, Daniella immediately grabbed his shoulder and pulled him to her. She shouted in a high–pitched voice, “What the heck are you doing, Axel? Will it kill you to open a door?”
Axel’s body trembled from hearing Daniella’s angry shout. He lowered his head in a panic and
Daniella was infuriated even more by his silence and gave him a loud slap.
“Why must you provoke me?” Daniella pinched Axel’s face tightly. “I’m just here to grab something, yet you insist on being an eyesore! Alright then. Let’s see how I’m going to deal with you today, you piece of shit!”
Daniella grabbed Axel by his collar and pulled him into her room ferociously.
Tyler and Liora soon heard a scolding voice accompanied by the sounds of someone being beaten.
Tyler was stunned while Liora burst into tears.
She ran into Tyler’s arms and clutched his shirt tightly. She lowered her childish voice and said, ” I’m scared, Tyler! Axel’s Mommy is hitting Axel. I want to go home, Tyler!”
Tyler did not expect Daniella to speak such harsh words or hit Axel.
Tyler looked at the cracked password in a daze and saw the name ‘Angst‘ on the username section.
He came to understand that Axel was the person who had paid him 1,000,000 dollars to search for his biological mother!
Tyler believed the woman outside was the scumbag’s fiancée and not Axel’s biological mother.
His expression turned solemn, and he said softly, “Sure, I’ll help him! But we can’t go out now.
Axel might get hurt even more.”
Aware they couldn’t take on an adult physically, they needed to find another way to assist Axel.
Tyler pulled out his tablet, logged into an app, and sent an email to Noah with a fake ID.
As Noah got into a car outside Novamere Airport, his phone vibrated, and he received an anonymous email.
Puzzled, he opened it to find a simple message: [Noah De Marco! Your son is being beaten up by his mother!]
Stunned by the message, Noah replied: [Who are you?]
Tyler: [Don’t worry about who I am. Go back to Villa Rose to check if you don’t believe me!]
Tyler was shocked by how Noah was concerned about his identity.
‘The scumbag’s mindset is different,‘ Tyler thought.
Even if Noah was proven to be their biological father, Tyler wouldn’t accept him–a man incapable of understanding the gravity of the situation.
After receiving the reply, Noah’s expression turned somber, and he called Villa Rosa to uncover the truth. The nanny answered the call in a shaky voice, “M–Mr. De Marco!”
Alerted by the nanny’s tone, Noah suppressed his anger and asked, “Is Daniella at Villa Rose now?”
“Y–Yes, sir!”
Noah hung up and looked toward Reuben. “Head back to Villa Rosa as fast as possible!”
Reuben said, “Yes, sir!”
It was 9:30 am, and Lily had searched the entire villa but couldn’t find the two children.
Panicked, she rushed to the security room to check the surveillance footage and called River.
As soon as River got into her car, she received Lily’s call. “What’s going on, Ms. Smith?”
“River! The children are missing!”
River froze. “What happened?”
Lily briefly explained the situation, and River suddenly remembered her dream from the previous night. A shiver ran down her spine, making her tremble. “Ms. Smith, recheck the surveillance footage. I’m coming back right away!”
After ending the call, Liora turned to Kenny. “Kenny, head back to the city quickly!” @
Seeing River so agitated for the first time, Kenny asked, “What happened?”
“The children are missing!” Liora’s eyes welled up with tears, and her face turned pale. “Hurry!
Let’s get back to the city!” 1
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Kenny immediately turned the car around and rushed back to the city.
Reuben returned to Villa Rosa as quickly as possible, with Noah following closely behind. They headed to the second floor and found Axel coming out of Daniella’s room, visibly shaken and terrified.
Noah’s heart ached as he swiftly walked to Axel and embraced him. “Axel,” he said, his face filled with concern.
Axel’s mental walls collapsed when he saw his father, and he burst into tears after holding back for so long. Despite his quiet and mature demeanor, Axel was just a five–year–old child.
Noah held Axel tightly in pity and then turned to look fiercely at the panic–stricken Daniella.
Noah approached Daniella with hostility, causing her to turn pale with fear.
‘Isn’t he supposed to be on a business trip? Why is he back so soon?’ Daniella thought, backing away in fear.
“E-Noah, I can explain— Urgh!”
Before Daniella could finish her sentence, Noah abruptly grabbed her by her throat.
“Are you tired of being alive, Daniella?” Noah roared. “I spared you because you’re Axel’s mother! I never expected you to be so cruel! He’s only five years old, and you’re hurting him! How could you do this?”
Daniella’s face turned red from the lack of air. She wanted to explain herself but couldn’t make a sound in Noah’s grip.
Noah finally released his hold when her face turned pale and her eyes rolled backward.
After catching her breath, Daniella coughed profusely and collapsed to the ground weakly. It took her a while to recover enough strength to speak.
