âUncle Sanderson, my father is a pervert. He doesnât deserve my mommy.â
Felixâs candid reply rendered Steffan speechless. The world of children was indeed simple and pure, and they had their own unique logic.
Felix thought that if Bradley couldnât treat his mother well, she should find another man who would.
âMr. Sanderson, about the childrenâs words-â Anna began, but Steffan interrupted with a frigid stare.
âTake the children to play. If you need anything, ask the service staff,â he said.
âThank you, Mr. Sanderson.â
With his permission, Sunshine and Felix freely roamed the Sandersonsâ house like spirited. horses without reins.
However, both children were well-behaved, knowing how to conduct themselves in othersâ homes without overstepping boundaries.
From his study, Steffan could hear their joyful peals of laughter. His eyes remained slightly cold, and he spoke in a detached tone. âInvestigate Sunshineâs background.â
He believed that if Jacob held such affection for Sunshine, he would want to keep her close. Steffan was determined to fulfill his sonâs life with everything he desired.
After the interview, Esther gazed deeply at Alice, who was organizing the interview content. Alice, do you think this case can become a sensation across the country?â
Alice smiled slightly and confidently raised her eyebrows. âNot just the country, Esther. This will be a case that captures the attention of people all over the world.â
Esther could not help but feel overjoyed. âThatâs fantastic.â
Alice suddenly interjected and poured cold water on Estherâs joy. âMs. Quill, you should understand that while our news will increase the caseâs influence, itâs still uncertain whether we can completely eliminate this massive syndicate. Exposing the case may actually drive the criminals to become more covertâ¦â
âI understand.â Esther was not a naive child. She knew well how cruel the world could be, with countless hidden horrors. âThis criminal group is so bold because the profits are substantial.â
Alice helplessly gazed at Pixieâs innocent face and said, âThe trade of human lives cause such grievous harm.â
âWhy would anyone harm innocent children just to save their own children?â
Esther could never comprehend this question. Was it because their own children were children, but other peopleâs children were not considered the same?
Aliceâs expression turned bitter. âFor some people, their own children are precious, while orphans like Pixie are treated as mere objects, devoid of value. They can be exploited to save others without hesitation. Iâll head back to publish the news. The bodyguard will be outside. with you, so please be careful.â
âOkay.â
After Alice left, Esther gazed at the sleeping Pixie and pondered for a moment. She then decided to make a call to Xara, who was far across the sea.
âXara, itâs me.â
Upon hearing Estherâs voice, Xaraâs joyous tears welled up, âEsther, youâre so heartless. Do you know how many tears Iâve shed for you?â
âXara, Iâm sorry, but I had no other choice at the time.â Esther did not waste time with small talk and went straight to the point. âXara, do you happen to know Jacob?â
When Esther mentioned Jacobâs name, Xaraâs phone slipped from her Xaraâs phone slipped from her grasp and hit the ground with a loud thud.
Xaraâs voice quivered as she spoke from the other end of the line, trying to contain her longing. âEsther, where did you see him?â she asked after a moment of silence.
