Tristán remained silent.

Before he could respond, he saw Zachary standing in front of him, handing over a piece of paper. It wrote, âIf you want to keep me, I need 100 million dollars in allowance every day.â
Tristanâs lips curled into a cold smile.
Zachary claimed that he wasnât Tristanâs son, and yet he was asking him for an allowance. And 100 million dollarsat that! The kid probably hadnât even seen 1,000 dollars before.
Tristan answered Yvette on the other end of the call, look into it. If heâs not my son, Iâll return him to Kiki and apologize.â
After hanging up, Tristan looked at Zachary and remarked, âYouâve got quite the appetite. 100 million dollars a day? Can you even spend it all?â
âMister, surely itâs not because you donât have money?â
Tristanâs mouth twitched slightly. 100 million dollars? Of course, he could come up with that.
âIf I give it to you, what should you call me?â
Zacharyâs eyes curved into a smile. âI donât answer hypothetical questions. Also, Iâm hungry. I need to eat, If you donât feed me, Iâll go to court and tell the judge that my father didnât give me food.â
Tristan was speechless. Soon, he glanced at the nanny and instructed, âTake him to eat something.â
He had been completely defeated. It turned out that Zachary wasnât refusing to eat to spite him; he was just playing with his toys and deliberately leaving him hanging.
Tristan felt like heâd taken a massive hit.
At Dewberry Manor, Yvette relayed Tristanâs response to Kiki. âDonât worry. Once the test results come back, heâll let Zac go.â
Yvette had no idea why Tristan was so confident that he hadnât even considered taking Zachary for a paternity test.
âYvvy, I should be the one comforting you, but here you are comforting me.â
âItâs okay,â Yvette replied gently. âBy the way, are you staying in a hotel now?â
âYeah, my dad is so harsh. He said that if I donât agree to get engaged to Tristan, I can stay homeless forever. Iâm planning to start looking for a job tomorrow.â
Kiki refused to believe that she couldnât find a job to support herself with her abilities. She was also an external lawyer for Yvetteâs company, which provided some income, though not much.
Growing up, she had always been a spendthrift. Because of that, she had no savings now.
âTo be honest, I think itâs a good thing that Tristan temporarily took Zac.â
If Tristan hadnât taken Zac, both he and Kiki would have had to stay in a hotel now. More importantly,
Michael might have misunderstood that she had hidden a child.
âTrue, itâs a bit of a blessing in disguise.â
The two talked for a long time before Yvette hung up the phone.

When she returned to her room, Xavier had already come out of the study. âWho were you talking to for so long?â Xavier asked.
Yvette had thought that he wouldnât talk to her at all today.
âKiki. Itâs about her son,â Yvette replied.
Xavier stepped closer. âDoes Kiki live at Hexim Pass?â
âYes. Why do you ask?â Yvette looked puzzled. âHavenât you been there before?â
Xavier thought about the accurate address that the tech department had found after working all day and night. Coincidentally, it was right where Kiki lived. He scrutinized Yvette.
âAre you in need of money?â
If she was, why had she refused the agreement he had arranged? If she wasnât, then how could the money have been transferred from Kikiâs place? The people from the Torres family shouldnât have the guts or the capability to do something like this.
âWhat do you mean by that?â Yvette sensed an underlying meaning behind his words.
âNothing.
Xavier had already gotten someone to look into things. This time, even if it meant turning Kikiâs place upside down, he was determined to find the person responsible.
