Chapter 1742: Chapter 1755

“Long time no see.

Merry Christmas.

”

When Moss’ voice pierced the air, Ariana snatched the phone and unleashed her fury, yelling, “What’s your game now? You’ve hurt me, and now, you’re targeting my son? Release him, or I’ll ensure you face the consequences!”

Surprisingly, Moss responded with a chuckle.

“Your mother was always so gentle.

Why are you such a firecracker, Ariana? You’re nothing like her.

”

“How would you react if your child were kidnapped?” Ariana retorted.

Then, realization struck.

Suspicion clouded her eyes.

“What do you mean? Why bring up my mom? Do you even know her?”

Holden, who had been listening intently, frowned, his expression darkening.

He hadn’t investigated the matter about Ariana being Moss’ daughter so he had not told Ariana about this yet.

If Ariana learned about this now, she would be unable to accept it.

Besides, Rodney was present.

Holden knew he couldn’t allow Ariana and Moss to continue their conversation.

Before Moss could respond, Holden intervened.

‘s

He seized the phone, his voice icy.

“If you have a score to settle, come after me.

Leave the kid out of this.

He’s innocent.

”

“Your words sound like you think I would harm the kid.

Why would I do that as the kid’s grandfather?” Moss replied, his tone laced with amusement.

“I haven’t seen my grandson before.

I thought I’d seize the opportunity today to spend time with him.

Is that so wrong?”

Grandfather?

Grandson?

The words hit Ariana Like a thunderbolt, leaving her bewildered.

“Wait,” she said, reclaiming the phone.

“How is my son your grandson?”

Hearing this, Moss realized that Holden had kept the truth hidden from Ariana.

He chuckled.

“Is Rodney there with you? Let me speak to him first.

”

Ariana’s confusion deepened.

Did Moss know Rodney?

She turned to look at Rodney, perplexed.

The moment Rodney heard Moss mentioning his name, rage ignited within him.

For over two decades, he had wished he could kill Moss.

The thirst for vengeance propelled him forward, but he was old.

In anger, he stumbled, needing Mitchel’s and Catalina’s support to remain steady.

Drawing a deep breath, Rodney said to Moss on the phone, “I thought you were already rotting under the ground.

”

Moss responded casually, “Thanks to you, I’m not only alive but also living a good life.

”
