Chapter 3
Meanwhile, in the airport.
Ezra Clarke was sneaking around with a cap and a mask on, terrified that his mom’s men would
recognize him.
He screamed in his head.
“Stop chasing me!” he thought.
He had tossed all his electronic devices after arriving in Melburgh. More than a dozen groups of people
had tracked him down, so he had
nowhere to hide.
He had to find a way to get rid of his mom’s men, or he wouldn’t have the time to look for that scu mbag
who abandoned his wife and children.
Suddenly, an announcement grabbed his attention, and his large brown eyes lit up.
“We have a special missing person notice from the Kinsmans in Melburgh. Today is the fifth
anniversary of the late Mr. Kinsman’s death, but their youngest, Lucian Kinsman, has gone missing in
Mount Julford Cemetery. Whoever comes forward with information about his whereabouts will be
rewarded with 1.5 million.”
The photo of the youngest child of the Kinsman family appeared on screen as well.
Stunned, Ezra wondered, “Why does this kid look just like me?
“Could we be b-brothers? Maybe we share the same father too!”
Ezra immediately searched for information on the Kinsmans, but all he found was that the kid’s father
was named William Kinsman. There wasn’t even a photo of the father.
William Kinsman? Could William be that scu mbag who he was looking for?
If that was the case, he had better get started.
Infiltrating the Kinsman family would not only help him investigate his relationship with William, but also
hide himself from his mom’s tracking. It was killing two birds with one stone!
Ezra looked at the face that was the same as his in the missing person notice with a mischievous look
and smiled.
“Sorry, bro! I’ll be borrowing your face for a bit!” he thought.
Without hesitation, Ezra took off his mask, threw away his cap, and swaggered to the reception desk.
He looked at the receptionist with a wide and adorable grin.
“Hello, miss. Don’t you think I look like the Kinsman child in the missing person notice?”
Ezra cackled on the inside. From now on, he would be Lucian Kinsman!
“Come on, miss! Take me and claim your reward!” he thought, laughing nonstop in his head.
William’s men searched the cemetery for a whole day but found nothing – except for a mysterious
bloodstain near the parking lot of the cemetery.
Gianna sat beside William with her legs curled up, looking weak and delicate. She was wearing a long
black dress that framed her exquisite figure.
The dress gave the world a peek at her fair skin and collarbones. Her beautiful eyes were full of tears
as she appeared worried and guilty. “I’m sorry, William. This is all my fault! I should’ve kept a tighter
watch on Luci!
“He’s already in poor health. If anything happens to him…”
She couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. Suppressing her so bs, she said, “If anything happens to
Luci, I’ll…”
William sat on the couch, looking tall and gloomy. He pulled off his tie and said something harsh to
Gianna for the first time.
“Stop crying!”
Gianna was so frightened that she instantly stopped talking. She was about to explain herself when she
saw William’s a**istant, Marshall, rushing in. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“We found a clue, sir! The surveillance cameras around the cemetery have been destroyed, but we still
found something. Look at this video; a nearby driver accidentally filmed a mysterious woman leaving
with Mr. Lucian in her arms. She was the same woman who paid her respects to the old Mr. Kinsman
with lilies today!”
William jolted to his feet and looked at him coldly. “Have you confirmed this?”
“Yes, sir,” Marshall said. “We still don’t know who the woman is, but we’ve found her car in Ambrose
Hospital. Young Mr. Kinsman is being treated there for serious injuries, but he’s out of danger now!”
12:38
William frowned and said solemnly, “Let’s go!”
Gianna panicked and wanted to stop him, but it was too late. “Is this true? How’s Luci doing? I want to
see him too! Can you take me with you?”
“What’s with that mysterious woman? That bas t ard fell from such a tall mountain! Even his corpse
should be hard to find! How can he be still alive?” she wondered.
She wanted to chase after William, but he was gone, not giving her any chance to pester him.
Olivia sat in front of her laptop in Lucian’s ward. Even though she didn’t manage to track down Ezra,
she found the Kinsmans’ missing person
notice instead.
But when she found the kid, his face was so injured that she couldn’t get a good look at his
appearance.
Before she could figure out what was going on, a group of uninvited guests barged into the ward.
She didn’t expect William to come so soon.
The men in black filled the ward in an instant, and Marshall went straight to the hospital bed. When he
saw the unconscious and injured child on the bed, his rage flared up. “Young Mr. Kinsman…”
Even though Lucian had autism and had never spoken before, he was the Kinsmans’ treasure!
This mysterious woman must have a death wish to kidnap Lucian and injure him so badly!
The men had her surrounded but made way for their boss without needing to be ordered.
William, clad in a black coat, strode in. He was so tall that he towered over everyone else. His
handsome and deep facial features were hidden in the darkness, and his majestic aura exerted
pressure on her. His dark eyes were dangerous and unfathomable. He looked ready to devour her in
the next second.
Words left his thin cold lips one by one.
“You’re the one who hurt my son?”
Olivia straightened her back, suppressed her anger, and glanced at the group of uninvited guests. She
narrowed her eyes coldly and said, “I didn’t hurt him!”
With every word she said, the rage in her eyes grew stronger still.
Their eyes met, and the tension grew thick.
However, Olivia didn’t even flinch.
She was no longer the weak and incompetent girl she used to be, and she was not afraid that he would
recognize her.
In the past five years, she had been disguising herself with makeup and had never shown her true face
to anyone.
However, William could see that there was an unconscious child covered in injuries on the hospital bed.
His face darkened. He raised his hand to grab Olivia’s neck.
“Not you? If it wasn’t you, why did you appear in the cemetery to visit the old man? If it wasn’t you, why
is my son lying in the hospital bed for no reason?”
William’s eyes were filled with ferocity. He tightened his grip around her neck and said in a low and
terrifying voice, “You have some nerve hurting my son! You must want to die, huh?”
They had brushed past each other in the cemetery.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have an impression of her, but he never cared about unimportant people. He
didn’t expect that she would come prepared!
Olivia found it hard to breathe, but she remained calm and unrelenting. Her face darkened and she
said, “Let go of me!”
But William tightened his grip instead!
He looked ready to break her neck in the next second.
Suddenly, a cry of joy came from outside the door, and a bodyguard in black rushed in with a child in
his arms.
“We found young Mr. Kinsman, sir! Here he is!”
