Nate turned around, and he felt like he saw Ethan 20 years later.

The man also had a tall, strong build with long straight legs and walked quickly. Only the dappled white hair on the temples reminded everyone that this wasn't illusory.

​​

Nate's leg lightly touched Ethan's, and Ethan turned to look over.

The moment he turned, his eyes were as cold as ice.

This man was the one who had locked and tortured Barbara so that she was still scared of him till now.

This man was the one who had occupied Barbara's heart for 30 years, and she refused to tell anyone what had happened that year.

This man was exactly his biological father!

Ethan clenched his big hands into fists, and he was ablaze with fury now. If it was possible, he would tear the man into pieces!

Adolph, however, seemed to be fully attracted to the name of Barbara. He sat alone on a separate sofa, then took out a cigarette and dangled it from his mouth.

When he was about to light it, he noticed Agnes by a side glance, and he looked evil all of a sudden. "Who told you to dress like this?"

To Ethan and Nate's surprise, Adolph grabbed Agnes's collar and pulled her up from the sofa. "Did you forget everything I told you?"

Agnes trembled a little in fear, but her dulled eyes were still the same. It seemed she had no idea what she had done wrong.

"F*ck off! Go upstairs now!" Adolph abruptly pushed Agnes, and she fell down on the floor. Seeing that the pair of male leather shoes were about to kick Agnes, Nate walked ahead and stopped him. "Please don't. Men don't beat women."

After that, Nate turned to look at Ethan. "Ethan, say something."

Adolph's sight didn't fall on Ethan until now.

His evil eyes rounded in shock, and he moved by the sofa to the front of Ethan.

He observed him from head to toe, then focused on his face.

"You..." Adolph was too excited to utter a word.

Ethan stayed calm as usual.

"Barbara, you're looking for my mother."

Hearing that, Adolph stepped backward in astonishment and knocked a vase over. He couldn't believe his eyes now.

It was shocking enough when he heard the news on Barbara today, and he didn't expect to see Ethan, who looked exactly the same as him. He lost control of himself.

Adolph had an attack of his disease once again.

And it happened right in Ethan's and Nate's sight!

He strode towards Agnes and caught her long hair shouting in anger, "Bi*ch! You're a bi*ch! What can you say now? Can you deny it again that you've betrayed me? Whose kid is this?"

Agnes yelled in pain. Probably because of the great pain or a specific sentence Adolph said, she woke up from hypnosis. "Adolph, it's me! It's me! I'm Agnes!"

Adolph's eyes were bloodshot now, and he didn't listen to her explanation at all but dragged her upstairs.

The stairs were made of wood and hit Agnes's body one by one. Agnes did her best and hugged a handrail with all of her energy.

"Adolph, wake up! Where is the housekeeper?"

"Get the medicine right now! Ah!"

Terrifying screams filled this house. Even Nate felt the pain by just watching the scene. He asked Ethan, "Ethan, should we be involved?"

Although it just had happened for a few minutes, Nate understood something must be wrong.

This couple could be Ethan's enemies who he had searched for many years.

A maid ran out from a corner, and was frightened by the scene on the stairs, then ran away to make a call.

Nate showed up by the maid's side at short notice and grabbed the receiver away from her hand.

The person on the other side of the phone didn't know that and continued, "Tell Agnes that she deserves it."

"Stephen?" Nate recognized his voice. "What the f*ck are you doing? F*ck... How dare he hang up on me?" Nate pulled the phone line off and threw the phone to the floor. "Ethan, Stephen is crazy!"

Ethan's sight followed Adolph to the second floor. Adolph already tore Agnes's wig off, and her clothing could barely cover her body now.

Adolph caught her ankle and dragged her ahead like she was a dead prey.

"The person you hate is Barbara, not me! I dare you to find her and punish her. She has cheated on you, and she even gave birth to another man's kid!" Agnes suddenly shouted. "He! It's he! He is Barbara's son!"

Adolph stopped, but his eyes didn't move away. Instead, he stared straight at Agnes and looked quite tender. "Barbara, don't lie to me. Your love is me, and I'm your love throughout your life!"

"It's impossible that you're willing to give birth to another man's kid. Impossible!" Adolph wore an evil smile. "Do you want a kid? How many do you want? We can make some right now."

Right at this moment, Agnes drew her ankle back and tried to escape, but Adolph pulled her back again.

"Where are you going?"

"You've hidden away from me for 30 years. I'll never let you leave me again!" Adolph said and pressed on Agnes without hesitation.

Ethan drew his sight back, then turned to walk outside.

Nate spat on the floor and followed him up. "No wonder why Stephen becomes crazy all of a sudden. It's a crazy family!"

The second he finished his sentences, he saw Ethan stop for a second.

Nate slapped himself at once. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that!"

"Send some people here to watch them. Forbid anyone to walk in or out," Ethan said in a cold tone, then got in his car.

Nate sighed. He knew Ethan was pretending to be calm. He took out his phone and did what Ethan told him to do.

Ethan took out a new box of cigarettes from the armrest. He tore it open without patience and shook a cigarette out to light it up.

After pulling on it a few times, his brain started to work again.

If Kylie wanted to see Dinah in Stephen's house, she could only go to Garbo Palace No.1. However, why was Agnes staying here, and where did Kylie go?

***

Stephen hung up the call and went back in front of Kylie.

"Didn't you want Ethan to meet his biological father? They did." Stephen gently touched Kylie's face with his fingers and asked with a smile, "Are you satisfied?"

Kylie's hands and feet were tied by towels. It wasn't painful, but she couldn't move at all.

Seeing Stephen, who almost went crazy now, Kylie didn't dare to annoy him. "Stephen, it's very uncomfortable. Can you remove them?"

"I'm sorry." Stephen squatted by the sofa. "This is the only way that I can use to keep you by my side."

Kylie struggled a little and wore a pitiful expression. "I can't lie like this for a long time. My waist is losing strength."
