These words infuriated Mrs. Dodson once again. She had a cold, dark face as she confronted Cheyenne.
Hysterically roaring, she said, “What do you know? I raised Justice myself, he is my son!”
As for that illegitimate child…
Look!
He clearly didn’t like his own biological mother. The way he looked at her was as indifferent as if he were looking at a stranger.
That was not the expression a son should have for his own mother.
As for Cheyenne, she would never understand the careful arrangements she had made, just to escape that nightmare of inferiority.
Now, William’s return would only shatter her dreams and throw her back into that nightmare.
How could she like him?
How could she admit this unbearable stain?
Cheyenne glanced at the trembling, pale-faced little boy in Mrs. Dodson’s arms… and then at the composed William.
Anyone with clear eyes could see which child was more outstanding and sensible.
Her heart grew more and more unfair and angry on William’s behalf. Why couldn’t Mrs. Dodson see what a good child he was?
“William…”
Just as Cheyenne was about to say something, the two police officers who had captured the kidnapper earlier arrived again.
This time, they had brought the man with them and accused Mrs. Dodson directly.
As soon as he saw Mrs. Dodson, the man shouted loudly, “Officers, it’s her! She took the initiative to contact me and asked me to help her kill a child. She said I could name any price.”
Mrs. Dodson’s face changed rapidly upon hearing the terrible news.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I’m the district governor’s wife, and this is my biological son!”
“Honey, please believe me. I didn’t do such a thing. He’s slandering me!”
She wanted to distance herself from any relationship with this man. She couldn’t admit to hiring a killer now.
Otherwise, everything would be over!
The man never expected that this woman would try to shift all the blame onto him.
He decided that there was no point in abiding by the rules anymore.
“Officers, I can prove that she’s lying. I have evidence in the local recording files on my phone. Can you let me go? I promise I won’t run!”
The man had already planned that once he was free, he would take the little girl as a hostage. Not only could he safely leave, but he might also be able to extort a large sum of money.
The two police officers were hesitating whether or not to grant his small request when Cheyenne walked over with a graceful step.
Her slender hand seemed to glide over the man’s pocket, and the next moment, the phone appeared in her hand.
Everyone was so taken aback by her quick movements that they hadn’t even realized what had happened.
“You!”
The man widened his eyes and looked at Cheyenne in disbelief.
“So, you’re also a skilled thief.”
Cheyenne ignored him.
Since ancient times, those who stole were not good people. She had learned these skills only because she had no other choice in order to survive.
The move that Cheyenne had just performed was so beautiful that even this career criminal didn’t sense anything. He had only seen his master do something like that; her skills were even half as good as his master’s.
“Miss, may I know from whom you learned this skill? Are you accepting apprentices? How do you think of me?”
“With my connections in Yrose, we can make millions a year if we, master and apprentice, join forces. What do you think?”
At this moment, Cheyenne didn’t know whether to praise him for being smart or foolish. In front of the police, he was actually trying to recruit her.
He even painted such a huge picture, seemingly unafraid that he couldn’t digest it all.
“No need. My husband is the richest man, and my father is a coal tycoon. I could spend this money eating and doing nothing for eight lifetimes. Why should I bother stealing and working hard from morning till night?”
“A coal tycoon,” Channing fell silent for a moment and then smiled.
“You’re not wrong in saying that, but I’m not one of those uneducated who became rich overnight.”
Shortly after, Cheyenne found a recording in the phone and played it.
A familiar voice came out from the recording; it was indeed Mrs. Dodson. The sentence “Help me kill someone, name your price” was heard clearly by everyone.
The truth was revealed, and everyone’s gaze converged on Mrs. Dodson.
Mr. Dodson was also surprised. As the district governor, why did he have such a stupid and malicious wife?
“Stephanie, no matter what, he is our own biological son. Why did you do such a foolish thing?”
Mrs. Dodson tightly held her LV handbag, took a deep breath, and looked at William with resentment in her eyes.
“Why?”
“Because he shouldn’t have been born, and he certainly shouldn’t be my son!”
William didn’t know what words to use to describe his feelings now.
He was a rejected person, even his own mother disliked his existence and wanted to kill him herself.
After listening to her reasons, Cheyenne couldn’t help but find it ridiculous. She immediately scolded Mrs. Dodson without holding back.
“Every child that comes into this world is a gift from heaven to you.”
“If you don’t like him, why don’t you ask him if he wants you, someone like you, as his mother?”
Everything she was doing now was just putting all the blame on the child for other people’s mistakes!
“I…”
Mrs. Dodson had nothing to say. She glanced at the silent William and couldn’t find any joy in her heart. She only had an uncontrollable sense of resentment.
She only had Justice as her son, and no matter what, she would never recognize that child.
“This is our own family, and we don’t need an outsider like you meddling in it. Miss Lawrence, even if you are the President’s goddaughter, you still have no right to interfere!”
After hearing his wife say such brainless words,
Mr. Dodson’s face turned black. Did his wife have any idea of Cheyenne’s status in the Chulae?
From the President to the ordinary citizens, everyone knew her. Yet his wife dared to speak so offensively.
In case Miss Lawrence spoke badly of him in front of the President, the Dodson family would be finished.
Unable to bear it any longer, Mr. Dodson raised his hand and gave his wife a slap.
Smack-
“Shut up! You idiot!”
