Hearing this, Darren''s raised fist stopped in mid-air. He was stunned for a long time before reacting, shaking his head in disbelief. "Impossible, how could she be my daughter?"


    Theodore looked at him with a grim expression. "It''s not that you don''t believe this fact, but you can''t ept what you''ve done to your own daughter! For Isabe, you''ve hurt Joyce so many times. This time, you even helped her escape from prison, which led to Joyce''s disappearance!"


    Darren, if Joyce knew she had a father like you, how heartbroken she would be. If she really died, it would be you who killed her."


    For the first time, the usually gentle and elegant Theodore shouted at Darren. Thinking about how all of this was rted to Darren, his hatred for him grew even more.


    If Darren hadn''t cheated and gotten his mistress pregnant, Connie wouldn''t have died, and Joyce wouldn''t have been in danger repeatedly.


    Facing Theodore''s questioning, Darren instantly lost all strength. He copsed to the ground, muttering, "Joyce is my daughter. She is Connie''s and my child. I found my daughter. I have another daughter."


    Theodore looked at him coldly. "She is not your daughter. Besides providing sperm, you haven''t done anything good for her. You even teamed up with your illegitimate daughter to hurt her. If Joyce is found, I believe she won''t acknowledge you as her father!"


    After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Darren alone on the grass.


    At this moment, Derek and Benjamin walked out, each holding a stick. Before Darren could react, Benjamin swung his stick at his back.


    Benjamin cursed, "You scum, if anything happens to Joyce, I will make sure you die with her."


    Darren''s back was in excruciating pain. Just as he was about to exin, Derek hit his leg with a stick.


    Derek''s voice was cold and harsh. "Theodore and Sebastian are too kind to dirty their hands with you. But I will do it for them! I will beat you to death for my daughter-inw and grandson!"


    Benjamin was holding a baseball bat, hitting Darren''s body and legs repeatedly.


    The piercing pain made Darren miserable. Hey on the ground, letting the stick fall on him again and again.


    Darren''s mind was filled with the fact that Joyce was his daughter. The first time he saw Joyce, he thought she looked a lot like Connie.


    Darren thought, ''Why hadn''t I suspected anything? Seeing Theodore and Beatrice frequently visiting the ckwood Family, why hadn''t I realized? I always think that child is long dead. Why is that child Joyce?'' Ignoring the pain in his body, Darreny on the ground, wailing in agony. "Joyce, I''m sorry. It''s my fault."


    Hearing this, Benjamin became even angrier. He hit Darren''s stomach with the stick and cursed, "Shut up! Joyce doesn''t have a father like you. She will never acknowledge you as her dad. Go find your crippled illegitimate daughter." Benjamin was panting with exhaustion. Thinking about Joyce''s uncertain fate, he couldn''t help but shed tears. Pointing at Darren, he shouted, "Darren, you better pray that Joyce and her child are safe. If anything happens to either of them, I won''t let you off!"


    After saying that, Benjamin kicked Darren''s stomach again and turned to walk into the hall.


    Derek, feeling the same way, looked at Benjamin''s back and instructed the bodyguards behind him, "Take him to the hospital. Don''t let him die here. Not yet."

    Darren was dragged into the car, feeling excruciating pain in his arms and thighs. He knew he must have broken bones. But this pain was nothingpared to the pain in his heart. He held his head in agony, lying in the back seat of the car, crying.


    As they drove out, a silver sports car drove in and parked in the lot.


    Alexander handed Sophia a tissue, gentlyforting her, "Stop crying. You''ve been crying for days. Sebastian is even more upset than you. We''re here to see him, not to add to his troubles."


    Sophia''s tears kept flowing. Looking at the swing in the yard and the silent white Samoyed at the door, she felt much pain.


    Joyce lived here for three years. Everything here bore her mark.


    Sophia remembered clearly that every evening after dinner, Joyce would run on the grass with Baxter to digest. Joyce would also y on the swing. Whenever Joyce was happy, she would invite her over and cook her favorite meals. Coming back to this familiar ce but not seeing the familiar person, Sophia''s heart ached to the extreme.


    With tearful eyes, she looked at Alexander. "Joyce won''t die, right? So many people are waiting for her. She won''t die, right?"


    Alexander patted her head,forting her, "No, God will bless Joyce. She wille back." He helped Sophia unbuckle her seatbelt and led her into the vi hall.


    Sebastian, who had been standing on the balcony, saw everything that had just happened.


    He hadn''t slept at all. As soon as Theodore left, he stood on the balcony smoking. So, he saw clearly when Benjamin and Derek teamed up to beat Darren. He also saw Sophia crying her heart out.


    Looking at Joyce''s photo in his hand, Sebastian''s voice was hoarse. "Joyce,e back. We''re all waiting for you."novelbin


    At this moment, his phone rang. Seeing it was an unknown number, he thought it was the search team and immediately answered. He eagerly asked, "Did you find her?"


    But as soon as he finished speaking, a sinister voice came from the other end. "Sebastian, isn''t it painful to lose the one you love the most? That''s right, that''s the effect I wanted."


    Hearing the tone, Sebastian didn''t need to think to know it was the mastermind behind everything. He steadied his emotions, his voice cold. "Who are you? If you have the guts, face me head-on!. Attacking my wife is beneath contempt!" The man sneered, "I''m not just targeting your wife. I''m targeting the entire Winters Family. I want to destroy the Winters Family to avenge my mother!"


    Sebastian''s expression turned cold. "Logan, if you think you can destroy the Winters family, you''re even more delusional than I thought."


    Hearing his name, Logan Hayes was momentarily stunned, thenughed. "Not bad, you managed to find out my name. But so what? Our game has just begun. Wait to see the Winters Family''s downfall." After saying that, the call was disconnected.


    Sebastian stood on the balcony, taking a deep drag of his cigarette, the veins on his forehead bulging.


    At this moment, his assistant Dominic called. "Mr. Winters, thepany''s firewall has been attacked, and our chip technology data has been stolen."
