Nora looked intently at Xander in front of her.

Earlier, when Xander had returned with them, to get along better with the boy, neither Nora nor Justin had said anything negative about Trueman to Xander.

After all, for the past five years, Trueman had been the boy’s only relative.

However, ever since Xander had stolen the V16 and given it to Trueman, Nora had been full of regrets. She should have taught her son right from wrong.

Seeing Xander finally bring up the subject, she was quiet for a while before finally saying, “True evil doesn’t really exist in this world, Xander, and everyone has a dark side deep in their heart. But as humans, we must safeguard our moral boundaries and stick to them. No matter what we do, even if we act a little selfishly for our own good, we must not cross that boundary.”

Trueman had taught Xander to be unscrupulous and to resort to any means available to achieve his goals.

This was evident by the way Xander had frequently bullied the nannies and security guards when he lived with Nora and Justin. The little guy was a fiend to the core. Fortunately, he was still young and good-hearted by nature, which was the only reason he wouldn’t do anything illegal.

However, a child’s personality was already cemented by the time he turned five.

Xander’s heretical and dark personality had taken root in him.

For some, his childhood could cure any suffering they experienced in their lives.

But for others, it took a lifetime to heal the suffering of their childhood experiences.

Those five years spent in darkness had already led Xander astray.

Xander, who seemed to vaguely understand, nodded. However, he persisted and asked again, “So, is Dad Trueman really a bad person?”.

Was he really a bad person?

Nora did not answer him directly. She merely stroked his hair and said, “You don’t have to define people with the concepts of ‘good’ and ‘bad.’ Even if he is a pitiful man, that doesn’t give him the right to take revenge on society just because of his unfortunate circumstances. Xander, I want you to know this: you are still young, so raising you and taking care of you is our responsibility. True parents never conspire against their children when raising them. So, if he ever asks you to do anything to harm you, please refuse.”

Xander was stunned to hear her words.

As he looked at Nora, he seemed to really understand in that instant what parents were supposed to be about.

After having a heart-to-heart talk with Xander and gaining a better understanding of the boy’s thoughts, Nora coaxed him to sleep and then left the room.

As soon as she was out the door, she saw Harry dragging a suitcase and walking out.

The suitcase was huge and it looked like there was something very heavy inside.

Nora didn’t pay much attention to it. However, as the two passed by, Nora suddenly stopped and turned to look at Harry.

Harry flashed her a smile and walked away quickly without a word. But the smell of blood coming from the suitcase hung in the air, causing Nora to squint.

Only then did she enter the room, where she immediately saw Caleb wiping his hands with a wet wipe. He wiped them very meticulously, cleaning his hands finger by finger. Finally, he threw the wet wipe into the wastebasket next to him.

It was then that he finally turned and looked behind him. He looked a little surprised to see Nora, but in the next moment, he smiled and asked, “Is something wrong, Nora?”

Nora looked down. Suddenly, she asked, “What did you decide to do with that cook in the end?”.

Without any change in his expression, Caleb replied, “I had Harry throw her out.”

“Is that so?”

Nora suddenly pointed to a headband beside her on the floor. “If so, they forgot to take her tiara with them.”

The tiara was stained with blood all over.
