“Since that’s the case, what reason did you have to betray me? You've been taking my wages every month.
Doesn't that cwith at least sprofessional integrity?”
Baron's voice never rose nor fell, yet it pressed down on the room with suffocating weight.
The traitor was drowning in regret. “Mr. Gunn, | was wrong, | swear I'll never dare again. Please, spare me! I'll
give back every cent | took. I'll never do it again, Mr. Gunn, | swear!”
Baron's tone remained flat, almost casual. “Every house has its rules, every state its laws. You made your choice,
now you pay for it. We're all adults-don’t play at being a child. Take him down. The wolves on the back hill must
be hungry.”
His words were light as air, but the traitor nearly lost control of his bladder in terror. “No! Please, don’t! Mr. Gunn,
| was wrong! Mr. Gunn!”
The guards stepped forward at once, gagged him, and dragged him away screaming.
It was at that very moment Sean and Susie walked in.

The two children froze, wide-eyed at the scene.
“Daddy, what's going on?”
Baron had always been gentle before them, and the sudden glimpse of this darker side left them unsettled. Sean
reacted instantly, covering Susie’s eyes with his hand, though his own gaze narrowed. Interesting. Their father
wasn't quite the man they thought he was.
Baron hadn’t expected them to cin. His lazy demeanor vanished in an instant as he shot to his feet, his face
darkening. “Who let them in? Whoever’s on duty today, line up and take your punishment.”.
The guards trembled but kept silent.
Sean quickly spoke up. “Daddy, it was us. We con our own. Don’t blthem.”
Baron's eyes flicked between the guards and the children. “Stay out of my business. What are you doing here?”
He strode forward, scooped both children up-one under each arm-and carried them out. Sean’s hand never left
Susie's eyes. She was still small, and he didn’t want her seeing such things.

Susie, however, pursed her lips in frustration. Sbirthday or not, Sean was far too protective.

She wriggled a little and asked, “Daddy, did Mommy sign with Luke Corp as the designer Sunny?”
Baron nearly stumbled, almost dropping them both.
“Daddy, careful! If you can’t hold us, just put us down,” Sean said, patting his chest in lingering alarm.
Baron’s mouth twitched, but he quickly regained composure. After setting them down outside, he studied Susie's
innocent gaze and realized, with a jolt, that he didn’t know this sweet little daughter as well as he thought.
“How do you know about your mommy's identity? Who told you?”
Natalie's secret was known only to him-Yvonne hadn't even been told. How had this child learned it?
Susie fiddled with her fingers, her round eyes darting nervously. Clearly she was scrambling for an excuse.
Baron reached out and flicked her forehead. “Little one, already trying to play tricks on Daddy? Be honest.”
“Ow!” Susie pouted, rubbing her head, looking properly aggrieved.
Sean stepped forward at once. “Don’t bully Susie, Daddy. If you do, I'll tell Mommy. Then she’ll ban you from the
bedroom.”
Baron's eyes widened in outrage. “Sean! Do you even hear yourself? What kind of child says that?”
Sean crossed his arms smugly. “So what? Mommy dotes on us now. If Susie and | tell her we're scared at night
and need her to sleep with us, do you think she'll refuse?”
Susie brightened immediately. “Right! Let's go tell Mommy!”
She started to dash off on her little legs, but Baron grabbed both of them back. “You little rascals! Forgotten who
raised you, have you?”
Sean arched his brows at Susic, signaling.
She grinned. “Then Daddy has to apologize to me.”

“Mommy!” Susie drew in a breath, ready to shout. Baron clapped his hand over her mouth.
“Fine! | was wrong.”
Susie tilted her head smugly. “Alright then, | forgive you.”
Her triumphant tone nearly made Baron choke with anger.
