Gary went wild, holding Kathleen tightly. “I won’t let anything happen to you! The private doctor’s coming!”
He then turned and looked at me like I was already dead, his voice cruel. “You dared teach our child to hurt Kathleen.”
His eyes swept over our child wailing nonstop while tied to the pillar. My heart plummeted.
His voice was icy cold. “Bring the whip soaked in salt water!”
I rushed over in panic and grabbed Gary’s arm. “Gary! Don’t do this to my child! Whatever you want, do it to me!”
With just one look from him, bodyguards pinned me down.
“Crack-”
The child’s screams nearly shattered my eardrums. Breaking free from the bodyguards, I clung to Gary’s leg and begged: “No! Don’t hit him! I’m sorry, it’s all my fault! Please don’t hit him!”
Gary kicked me away and struck again with the whip. He pressed the child’s head coldly: “Say it. Who’s your real mother?”
The child convulsed in pain, yet still turned tear–filled eyes to me and whimpered “Mom” in utter misery.
My heart shattered into countless pieces as I knelt before Gary, banging

my head against the ground.
“Please, spare the child! I’ll do anything you ask!”
Gary pointed at Kathleen playing dead beside him. “You disfigured Kathleen. Should I teach you how to make this right?”
Immediately I grabbed a brick and slammed it against my own head- once, twice, again and again.
Time blurred until blood covered my eyes, darkness flickering across my vision. As I fainted, Gary’s coaxing voice reached Kathleen: “Kathleen, feeling better now?”
“Not yet. Let’s feed him to the wolves in the back mountains, yeah?”
Waking in the chill, I heard the child whimpering beside me, growing shallower.

And wolves surrounded us all around!
I held the child and ran desperately, but was still surrounded by the wolves.
Just as the wolves lunged at us, I pressed the child tightly against my chest and closed my eyes in despair…
And at that moment, the roar of countless helicopters filled the sky above the Perez manor.
A week later, Kathleen in a fitted business suit stood before Gary, twirling around, “Gary, how do I look in this outfit?”
“For a company like the Baker group, should I dress more elegantly?”

But Gary was somewhat distracted; somehow, the image of Elizabeth’s red eyes when she was thrown into the mountains always flashed through his mind.
Every time he thought about it, his heart ached uncontrollably.
In fact, he had missed Elizabeth terribly these past three years.
He hadn’t returned for three years because of Kathleen, so Elizabeth was naturally upset. He really shouldn’t have treated her like that right after coming back.
Gary immediately decided to cancel the punishment. Even though he’d sent people to protect the mother and child, there were wolves in the back mountains–too dangerous.
When Elizabeth returned, he’d remarry her immediately and hold a proper wedding.
That way, Elizabeth probably wouldn’t sulk at him anymore, he thought.
Yet Kathleen kept chattering beside him. Gary frowned impatiently, “He’s your own son! Aren’t you worried at all? Still fussing over what to wear?”
Kathleen froze, about to explain, when the assistant rushed in. “President, Madam sent a child to Africa for adoption three years ago…”
The door was suddenly kicked open, and a crowd flooded in.
The leader had snake–like eyes but wore a smirk, staring at Gary as if looking at a corpse. Gary’s eyes widened instantly.
