NovelEnglishSkyler stamped his foot with frustration and defiance. "This place is a hundred times, no, a thousand times, hell, a million times better than Eastwood Heights." "You think somewhere's great because someone's buttering you up?" ca skeptical voice.
Skyler puffed out his cheeks angrily, retorting, "It's not because someone's butteringup. It's because | can finally be myself here. I'm not just an accessory to you and Geoffrey's schemes." Tanya's face turned slightly pale.
"How many times do | have to tell you? There's no Geoffrey. It's all in your head. If you don't take your medication, you'll have another episode." "I'm not sick. Those pills you forced onare the problem. You've convinced everyone I'm ill, but you and Geoffrey are the real nutcases," Skyler retorted with fury in his voice.
Tanya's lips quivered slightly. "I'm your closest kin. | would never do anything to hurt you." Skyler thought, "As if I'd ever believe you." "I'm not your kid, and Mom and Dad already agreed | can stay in Elysium. You have no say over me. You better keep an eye on Geoffrey and ensure he doesn't step out of line, or I'll catch him myself and turn him over to the cops." He stuck out his tongue at her and dashed off.

That ungrateful wretch had been brainwashed by others.
She clenched her teeth and picked up the ice cream from the table, swallowing it as if it could extinguish the fire of her anger.
She'd sort out the baby issue first, then deal with Skyler.
On the other side of Elysium, Kevin and two men dressed in black approached Azure Skies Villa.
"Ma'am, Mr. Leopold wishes to see the child. We're here to bring the child to him as instructed." Megan's eyes lit up. "Leopold's been discharged? Where is he?" "Mr. Leopold hasn't been discharged. We are just following orders to bring the child," Kevin said coolly.
Megan tried to compose herself. "Then I'll go with you." "You cannot come," Kevin stated. "Mr. Leopold only asked to see the child." Megan wasn't about to let this impostor go with them alone. That way, she would get exposed immediately.
"No way. | have to be with my child. | won't let you take my child away alone." Kevin knew she would say that. His gaze grew icy, a stern warning in his eyes.
"If Mr. Leopold doesn't see the child by tonight, you'll receive divorce papers from the court first thing in the morning." The threat in each word couldn't be clearer.
Megan's shoulders jerked as if struck.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"On what grounds would the court grant a divorce if | don't agree?" Kevin snorted. "Does Mr. Leopold need your consent to divorce? Are you not aware of your current reputation?" Megan's complexion turned ghostly, her lips losing all color.
"The antidote for Aurelia is still with me. Does he want to see Aurelia die?" Kevin's lips curled into a sinister smirk. "Do you think Mr. Leopold still cares?" A nerve in Megan's mind snapped. Was he indifferent to the antidote or to Aurelia? The nanny, who sat on the couch with the child, stood up to take the child upstairs and call Jewel to hurry back.
Kevin signaled to the men in black, who quickly intercepted the nanny and snatched the child from her arms.
Both the nanny and Megan screamed in shock.
Megan lunged forward and tried to get the child, but Kevin grabbed her firmly.
"A wise person knows when to seize the opportunity. It's your last chance. Weigh your options carefully." Megan was terrified. If Leopold had secretly done a paternity test and found out the child wasn't his, she'd be doomed.
"That... not the child ofand Leopold. Our child got kidnapped," she shouted desperately. Backed into a corner, she had no other choice. If she didn't tell the truth, the paternity results would cout, and the court's divorce decree would soon follow.
