Chapter 178


    Violet had ascended the staircase, leaving Logan and E alone in the living room. The child looked up


    at her, and in that gaze, E swore she saw the same fierce expression that Yvan often wore.


    It was uncanny; those eyes were a perfect replica.


    E’s voice wavered, “Logan, why are you looking at me like that? I know you’re not my biggest fan,


    but it wasn’t me who drove your mommy away…”


    She slipped into her usual melodramatic self–pity, portraying herself as the victim so onlookers would


    believe the child was making a fuss and she was just an innocent adult.


    Logan chuckled softly. “E, drop the act. No one’s watching.”


    The chill in his voice sent a shiver down E’s spine.


    What was this look? It was so intimidating that even an adult like her felt a twinge of


    fear!


    E felt her forced smile slipping and quickly changed the subject, “Logan, what are you talking about?


    Ha–ha… Have you been watching too many cartoonstely?”


    She refused to believe it! A five–year–old could not possibly cause any real trouble! She refused to


    believe that Matilda’s son had that kind of influence!


    Logan remained unfazed by E’s antics, his cold smirk mirroring Yvan’s distant demeanor. Indeed, he


    had inherited Yvan’s features, his face like that of a miniature


    adult.


    His hand slid into his pocket, gripping his phone tightly. “I know it was you.”


    His words struck E, her face draining of color!


    She stuttered, herposure faltering, “I–I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Logan. Is there


    some kind of misunderstanding?”


    “I said I know you’re the one who had me kidnapped.”


    Seemingly concluding that arguing with E was a waste of time, Logan spoke directly, turning E


    ashen.


    Sheughed nervously, “Ha–ha? Why would you say that? Has your mother been filling your head with


    nonsense? Don’t make usations; I would never do such a thing…”

    “You really do babble on.” Logan clicked his tongue, sounding hauntingly like Yvan, “No need for more


    excuses. I know you paid someone to kidnap me and my mommy. You even took the kidnappers‘


    families hostage, threatening to harm them if they uttered a word about you to Mr. Boyd. That’s why the


    kidnappers stuck to their story, iming it was a spur-of–the–moment crime.”


    He spoke with a rity and coherence that left no room for doubt.


    E’s pupils shrunk in shock. How could a five–year–old have such cunning? His intellect seemed


    almost otherworldly.


    “You… You must be parroting your mother’s wild ims!” E’s voice was tinged with panic, but after a


    moment, she regained her calm. She was an adult; how could she not outwit a child?


    “If you really have evidence it was me, why not go to your father with it?” E sneered maliciously,


    “Because you’re just echoing your mother’s fantasies, don’t think you can take me down. Your father


    won’t believe your absurd stories.”

    “My father?” Logan’s retort left E frozen in ce, “I never thought to bring it up with Mr. Boyd


    because, frankly, I think he deserves someone like you. It would be a shame to have him spoil my


    mom.


    So, it was his own choice not to tell Yvan, yet he knew the whole truth! Just how terrifying were the


    depths of this child’s mind?
