“The third year after my daughter’s death, my younger brother and his wife took their one- year–old daughter on a trip. They were in a car ident halfway there; all three of them died.”
Waylon still felt a pang of grief as he spoke of it.
After all, it had been his own brother.
Baron’s brows furrowed tightly.
“It was really just an ident?” <fn2ff9> This text is hosted at find?novel</fn2ff9>
Of course, Waylon knew what Baron was thinking.
He lowered his voice. “The police were called at the time; the insurancepany was also involved. Everything was ruled an ident–the driver was drunk. It all seemed reasonable enough. I didn’t think much of it back then, but now that we know Natalie is alive, I can’t help feeling my brother’s family of three might have been silenced.”
This was something he could only say to Baron; if he’d said it to Ruby, she would have lost her mind.
Flynn had been raised to manage the family business from a young age; Waylon had never let him touch the darker side of things.
Now, hearing his father suggest that Xenon’s death might have had anotheryer of truth, Flynn’s eyes widened.
“Dad, are you saying that when my sister was switched at birth, it could have been deliberate?”
Waylon nced at his son, saying nothing, but his eyes gave away the answer,
Flynn’s face turned pale.
“No way! After mom got pregnant, they were so kind to us. How could they have worked with outsiders to take my sister?”
Flynn wasn’t stupid.
“Back then, Waylon had left everything in his younger brother Xenon’s hands; it had all seemed airtight. They truly believed their daughter had died. For Ruby’s sake, they suppressed

their grief and forced themselves to let go of the child they thought they had lost.”

But now it had been revealed that the dead baby wasn’t from the Stone family at all–that Natalie had been switched, possibly even deliberately ced with the Summers family.
And the only ones with the chance to manipte things were people closest to the Stone family, people they trusted.
Xenon was the biggest suspect.
Especially considering that only two yearster, Xenon’s entire family had conveniently perished in an “ident.” The more one thought about it, the more chilling it seemed.
Baron had been in the underworld long enough to have seen every dirty trick imaginable; he showed no surprise.
“Mr. Waylon, you should investigate this thoroughly. Even if those directly involved are dead, there are still clues to follow. That farmer couple back then may not have been as innocent as they looked.”
Baron had struck right at the heart of it.
He could easily take on the investigation himself–and in fact, he had already sent people to do just that. But outwardly, he wanted to see how the Stone family treated Natalie.
Her first foster parents had already hurt her badly; even with her biological family, unless Baron was certain they truly loved her, he had no intention of letting go.
Waylon nodded naturally at Baron’s words.
“I’ll have people look into it right away.”
Baron inclined his head, saying nothing further.
He clearly had no intention of letting them see Natalie,
Flynn grew anxious.
“Mr. Baron, can we see my sister?<b>” </b>
Baron checked the time, then said calmly, “Why don’t youe back tomorrow? This has hit her hard. She’s exhausted and will probably sleep until morning. I don’t want to disturb her
rest.”
Waylon and Flynn immediately understood the meaning behind his words.

“Mr. Baron, you still haven’t answered me. What exactly is your rtionship with my sister?”
Flynn set down his teacup with a huff.
Before, when they hadn’t known Natalie was his sister, it hadn’t mattered; but now that they knew she was the Stone family’s princess, how could they allow her to stay by Baron’s side without a name, tied to such a dangerous man?
Waylon, however, was far calmer than Flynn.
He looked at Baron with a faint smile that never reached his eyes.
“Mr. Baron, how about this? Tomorrow we’ll exin everything to Natalie. If she epts us, we’d like to bring her back to the Stone family.”
The words had barely left his mouth when Baron’s teacup shattered with a sharp crack in his hand.
Tea and leaves sshed out along with shards of ss, soaking his pale fingers; yet somehow the sight sent a chill straight to the bone.
Flynn’s body went rigid.
Waylon, though, held him back. He looked at Baron and said evenly, “Mr. Baron, whether you like <i>it </i>or not, Natalie is the Stone family’s daughter. She’sing home.”
“Heh.”
Baron tossed aside the broken cup and gave Waylon a cool look. “Mr. Waylon–please.”
Waylon didn’t take offense; he simply left with Flynn.
Flynn’s face was clouded with anger.
