Chapter 317
Before Karen could finish. Kevin interrupted her agam.
He was heartbroken, and he had always been completely biased toward his father
That momme during breakfast, he’d heard Carlson’s voice–Karen was on the phone with him. At first, Kevin thought Carlson hasil come to take
him home.
Overjoyed, he’d rushed out from the dining room, his face lit up with a rare smile.
Karen, absorbed in the call, hadn’t noticed him standing
sting right behind her.
Therefore, he listened in for a long time.
Kevin then realized something was wrong with Carlson and Carlson needed help from his grandparents, but they refused, so Carlson turned to
Karen.
Kevin’s heart skipped a beat. He thought, “Mom will definitely help.
But to his surprise, Karen refused mercilessly and hung up the phone.
Upon hearing this. Kevin couldn’t bear it any longer and directly questioned her.
Karen didn’t expect him to be listening nearby. A slightly unnatural expression crossed her face, and she asked him how much he had heard.
kevin didn’t say a word, but rushed into his room and locked the door. No matter how much Karen knocked, he wouldn’t open it
He stayed inside for two hours.
Dunng those two hours, he made a plan in his room.
He had to find a way to get Karen to take him home. As long as he returned home, she would definitely help his father, so he opened the door.
Karen was so happy, thinking that he had come to understand, and explained a lot to him.
But Kevin didn’t listen at all: he thought it was an excuse.
an excuse
Later. Karen said to take him out to play and relax.
On the way out, Kevin didn’t make a fuss, quietly listening to her explanation, giving the impression that he was taking it all in.
It wasn’t until he got out of the car and walked to the gate of the zoo that he began to question Karen about why she was so cruel.
He didn’t undersund, he didn’t even know what had happened to Carbon.
But in his eyes, Carbon was a very powerful person who knew a lot and could do almost bything
Carbon had always been so great, and he had never spoken in such a humble tone.
So Kevin though Carlson must luve

Karen on the other hand, wasn’t angry with him. In this whole affair, the child was innocent.
Expecially since Kevin was so young, he might have misunderstood something when he heard her on the phone this morning. But how could she explain the complicated truth to him
The reality would be too cruel for a boy who still idolized his father. Her original plan had been to wait until Kevin was older and could better understand before telling him everything. She hadn’t expected him to make a scene here of all places.
Expecially now, standing at the crowded 200 entrance, she felt that it was not appropriate to be like this, so her tone was inevitably a little anxious
Just as she was thinking about how to persuade Kevin to go back with her. Kevin, who was throwing a tantrum in front of her, suddenly stopped.
It was as if his gaze was attracted by something, and he looked in a certain direction.
His face was still stained with tears, his mouth open as if about to cry, looking particularly dumbfounded.
The passers–by around them looked on with indifference.
After all, he was just a child, they usually saw children crying over the slightest dissatisfaction, regardless of the occasion. They had seen many times and even had such children in their own families
Moreover, just by looking at Kevin’s face, one could guess that he was the kind of child who was doted on at home, the kind who ruled his household with unchecked entitlement.

20-0
The passers–by did not stop because of this; only Jeremy, as he passed by, thought Kevin looked familiar and took a couple more glances.
Coincidentally, Kevin, who was in the middle of his tantrum, also saw Jeremy
At that very moment, they both felt a sense of familiarity with each other.
Kevin stared blankly for two seconds before it dawned on him.
Kevin remembered this was the intimidating older brother who’d threatened him to stay away from Yvonne during that visit to the Holmes reudence” And there had been that scary old man, too, who’d threatened him with extra homework!
Jeremy also recalled something.
this the little brat who’d for the backpack he’d gifted Yvonne? The one who’d come to apologize?
He recalled threatening the boy in keep his distance from Yvonne. He wondered if the chubby kid had listened to him.
Jerry hadn’t heard anything about Kevin from Yvonne lately, and he had almost forgotten about Kevin, Jeremy didn’t expect to see him here
Jeremy stopped, his gaze unconsciously becoming critical. The more he looked at Kevin, the less pleasing he found Kevin

Yvonne was curious and wanted to look back, but he quickly blocked Yvonne’s view and diverted her attention to other topics.
His
is sweet, clean little sister mustn’t learn bad habits from this slob!
While Kevin stared blankly at a certain spor, Karen also noticed something was wrong with him and followed his gaze.
The first thing she saw was a delicate and lovely little girl. When she saw this face, her movements froze, and she stood rooted to the spot
She recognized the child; it was Tinley’s daughter.
She had seen her before when she went to dinner with Carlson.
Moreover, Yvonne was so adorable that anyone who saw her once would have a deep impression and would never forget her.
But this was the first time she had seen Yvonne up close.
Complex emotions welled up in Karen’s chest until a chilling glare from Grave holding Yvonne cut through her thoughts.
His sharp eyes scanned her like a ruthless detector, brows furrowed in clear warning
Under the pressure of his gaze, Karen couldn’t help but look away, not daring to see Yvonne again.
Although she had looked away, she could still feel that piercing gaze burning into her.
She even wondered if she should go up and say hello to them.
But they didn’t give her the chance; after pausing for a few seconds, they hurried away in the opposite direction.
Watching their departing figures, Karen thought of Grave’s eyes again.
That p
gaze was sharp and venomous, like a viper ready to strike at her slightest movement.
Karen knew, she could probably guess what was going on.
Carlson had
called her this morning to ask the Martin family for help, which probably meant that the Jones family was in serious trouble, beyond his ability to salvage.
That
arrogant man would never humble himself otherwise.
Karen didn’t know the details, nor did she care to find out. Since divorcing him, she’d resolved never to soften. The Jones family’s fate, life or death, was no longer her concern.
Besides, Carlson had brought this on himself by targeting the Holmes heiress. No one could save him now.
With this in mind, she looked at her crying son again, feeling even more determined.
Kevin had also been attracted by the sight just now. Now that the people who had attracted his attention were gone, he started to make a fuss about going back to the Jones residence.
This time, Karen nodded at him and said yes.
“Get up. Let’s go back to
o the car. I’ll take you to your dad.”
After she said this calmly, Kevin agreed without thinking. He wiped his tears, stood up from the ground, and followed her.
The two returned to the car. Kevin was still thinking about seeing Carlson later, but the next second, he heard Karen say to the driver in front, Take
The car started. Kevin thought for a few seconds before realizing that he had been tricked,
He looked at Karen in dubelief and then started crying again, making a fuss about wanting to get out of the car.
But it was not at the entrance of the zoo, and no matter how loud he made a fuss, it would not affect others, so Karen did not need to indulge him at
She told the Holme family about Carbon’s plan in advance, and begged them for a long time to bring her children out of there, just to want them
to be safe and sound

When getting out of the car, Kevin used his old tick at being shameless

Hot schat he didn’t expect was that Karen asked the driver to help carry him down anst put him in the apartinent,
After sending the driver away, Karen locked the door to the room and put the key in the dresser in her room, a place Kevi Then she started calling the teacher at Kevin’s current school and asked for leave, which lasted until the winter var

She was still a little afraid that Carlson would to the school

Although Carlson was usually very kinal to Kevin when he was at the Jones residence, Karen couldn’t risk,
Only when the Holmes family concluded their dealings would she feel safe sending Kevin back to school.
Karen didn’t expect that the Holmes family would art much faster than she had imagines.

He even said that Karen had divorced him and they would no longer care about the Jones family,
Helpless, Carlson could only go to Karen for help. After a phone call, he was blocked.
