chapter164

Cameron strode over, his voice tight with anger. "They're heartless. Your mother trusted them all these years, and this is what they do?"

Byron swallowed, then spoke up. "Mr. Norwood, Mrs. Norwood, it's lucky Miss Norwood can handle herself. Otherwise... I don't even want to think about what could have happened."

Cameron and Kylie's faces darkened. "What do you mean? What else did they do?"

Byron glanced at Lydia, suddenly realizing the Norwoods didn't know the whole story. Cameron and Kylie saw it too. Lydia was hiding something. They wasted no time and started pressing Byron for answers.

As they learned the truth, that Parker and Rose had been working with other executives to cut corners, cook the books, and steal from the company, pocketing billions over the years... and then, when they got caught, tried to kidnap their daughter... Kylie and Cameron could hardly believe it.

They hired more than twenty men to hurt their daughter, then planned to sell her off to human traffickers?

Unbelievable!

How could anyone do something so monstrous?

By the time Byron finished, Cameron and Kylie were shaking, their hands clenched

in rage.

"Those animals! How dare they touch my daughter!" Cameron exploded, storming straight toward the police station.

Lydia quickly turned to Byron. "Go after my dad. Make sure he doesn't do anything crazy."

"Got it!" Byron nodded, chasing after Cameron.

They didn't need a murder charge on top of everything else.

Kylie was so furious her chest hurt. Lydia gently rubbed her mother's back. "Mom, I'm okay. Please don't let yourself get sick over this."

This was exactly why she hadn't told her parents everything. She knew how much it would hurt them.

"Lydia, I should have seen through them. I can't believe I nearly let you get hurt, Kylie whispered, tears shining in her eyes. She hated herself for ever trusting Rose and her family.

Thank God her daughter was strong enough to fight off more than twenty grown men by herself Lydia hadn been able to protect herself... Kylie didn't even want to imagine the outcome.

"They're just monsters. Lydia, take me to see Rose. I need to look her in the eye and ask her why, after- everything I've done for her all these years she could do something like this to me.

While Kylie spoke, Cameron had already charged into the interrogation room. He found Parker slumped over at the table, looking lost Without a word, Cameron fist ew, landing with a sick thug against Parker's jaw.

"You bastard!"

"You monster!"

"How could you!"

"You could have just been greedy, but you had to go and hurt my daughter!"

Cameron's rage poured out with every punch, his voice echoing in the room. He'd never been this furious in his entire life.

He'd always known Parker and Rose were lining their pockets. That, he could almost forgive. But coming after his daughter? Absolutely unforgivable.

"You wanted to hurt my daughter? Rot in prison, for the rest of your miserable life!

Parker, half conscious and bleeding, stared up at him through red, swollen eyes. "What did you say? Lydia... she's your daughter?"

Cameron, breathing hard, landed one final punch. "That's right."

Parker's shock was written all over his face. Fighting through the pain, he asked, Is she your goddaughter?"
