Chapter 191
I watched them march in, making no move to retreat upstairs. Instead, I settledfortably into the

couch, not bothering to offer them a seat. Respect was earned, not given. In my presence, in my heart,
they had lost that privilege.
I sat there, cool as a cucumber, observing their hurried entrance, their faces contorted in wrath.
They were efficient. They knew I was back, and their timing was impable. I had barely been home
for two minutes when they barged in.
Jan made an attempt to intervene but was easily brushed aside by Hazel, who stormed up to me,
her brows furrowed in anger, "Aaliyah, where have you hidden Evan? Hand him over." she demanded.
Thest time I saw Hazel, she was being escorted out by her son. Now, she looked significantly worse
for wear. However haggard she appeared. She genuinely cared.
Despite her previous disdain for Evan, even going as far as calling him a bastard in front of Marissa, it
was clear that she was distraught over his disappearance.
Her usatory tone, her brazen demand for Evan, wasughably absurd. Instead of getting angry, I
chuckled, feigning ignorance. "Evan? Who? Where is he? Where should I take him?”
"Stop ying dumb, Aaliyah," Hazel snapped, her face contorted in fury, "Do you want me to call the
cops? I can have you arrested right now, you bitch!"
"Go ahead," I replied, unfazed, "I''ll be waiting right here."
Farley stepped in at this point, "You''ve gone too far, Aaliyah. You''ve caused nothing but chaos for this
family. And now, you''re targeting a child. He''s been missing for days. Why are you making trouble like
this?"
I shot Farley a warning re. He was proving to be more of a nuisance than I had anticipated.
Back when I first met him, Farley was a meek, timid man, always under Hazel''s control. He was as
timid as a mouse, scurrying away at the first sign of trouble. But times had changed. The Dawson
family’s improved lifestyle had given him newfound confidence.
These days, he strutted around in his fancy suits, ying the part of a gentleman. He even dared to flirt
with attractive women. His behavior was the epitome of a bastard.
ording to the information Logan had provided me, Farley''s extramarital affairs were not limited to
these women. He was also involved in various illicit activities, always looking for whores. Yet he was
daring to question me.
"Jan, can you trante what they’re saying?" I asked, ignoring their usations and turning instead
to Jan, "The police haven’t even confirmed that I took the child. Where am I supposed to take him
back to?"
"You''re lying," Hazel used, "If you hadn''t taken him, why would the police have brought you back
from Silverdale City? This is Goldenvale Town, not Silverdale City."
I met her gaze, my voice cold as ice, "What''s the difference between Goldenvale Town and Silverdale
City?"
"Goldenvale Town isn''t a yground for your antics." Hazel retorted, her eyes bulging in rage.
"Can you all just calm down? It''s enough to make trouble outside, but you''re still fighting back at home.
Have you all had enough of the good life?" Jan interjected, his voice filled with frustration. "Aaliyah
just got back. She wasn''t even here when the child disappeared. Can we stop pointing fingers and
adding to the chaos?"
"But we''re not pointing fingers. We didn''t go to her in front of everyone because we saved her face.
And Evan has no grudge against anyone who could take it away?" Hazel argued, her hands iling in
exasperation.
"Jan, we all think she did it. She''s the only one who''s jealous of Evan and that''s why she kidnapped
him. She relies on the fact that the Wilburn family is rich and she dares to do anything. Why else would
no one suspect Jerome’s wife Cami?"
I couldn''t help butugh at the absurdity of her logic. Being wealthy was enough reason for them to turn
against me.
"Shut up!" Jan roared, silencing the room.
