Chapter 482 The Deranged Child

“You forced him to jump off the building. Are you also going to force me and my son to die in front of

you?” Giada grabbed her daughter and questioned Abigail with bloodshot eyes.

Since Abigail was in a hurry to attend a meeting, she wasn’t in the mood to deal with Giada’s antics.

“Your husband embezzled a total of thirty million in public funds and helped some of the company’s

senior executives who fled overseas evade taxes, which he then benefited from. Then, he bought a

villa in Capitalis, which is worth nearly ten million. Unfortunately, just because he’s dead, our company

can’t reclaim the house he transferred under your name. Yet, you’re blaming me for everything?”

Abigail rebuked and was about to leave.

Giada let out a scream. Then, she shoved her son away, charged forward, took out a dagger, and

aimed it at Abigail.

Cameron kicked Giada’s hand and quickly pulled Abigail behind him.

Abigail’s heart was thumping in her chest.

Giada screamed in pain as she held her hand and reprimanded, “You forced him to kill. himself! Do you

think I want that house? The monthly mortgage for the house costs tens of thousands. How can a

housewife like me afford that?”

Cameron merely shot the woman a cold glance as he rebuked, “Sell it if you can’t pay for it and move

into a smaller house. If you continue to attempt murder, you can even forget about owning that house!”

Abigail took out her phone, planning to call the police. But right then, she felt a chill run. down her spine

and a huge wave of danger.

She turned and saw the boy, who had been pushed aside by his mother, holding a hammer and

swinging it fiercely toward her head with a grim expression.

Abigail’s heart seemed to stop beating, and her b*dy stiffened. She wanted to escape, but her legs

wouldn’t obey.

The next moment, she was forcefully pushed away. She fell to the ground with the contents of her bag

scattered everywhere, but she ignored them and turned to look at Cameron.

He was covering his left eye, his hand stained red with blood.

“Cameron-”

“Call… for help!”

Cameron was trembling in pain. Never would he have imagined a ten-year-old boy would commit such

a deranged act.

Abigail picked up her phone again and called 911. At the same time, she screamed at the company’s

security guards, “Someone, help! There’s a murderer!”

Her desperate screams finally caught the attention of the security guards.

The boy, whom Cameron kicked away, had a dark face as he picked up the hammer and slowly

approached Abigail.

Clearly, Giada was also shocked. She stammered, “Emerson.”

When the boy saw the security guards approaching, he seemed to know he couldn’t catch up to

Abigail. So, he threw the hammer directly toward her.

Cameron, who felt he was about to faint from the excruciating pain, still did his best to step forward and

shield her with his b*dy.

He felt like his chest was about to be shattered by the hammer and coughed violently before collapsing

to the ground.

When the security guards witnessed the boy’s ferocity, they were frightened and quickly. protected

Abigail while retreating.

Abigail watched as the boy grabbed a new hammer from the bag he had brought with him. and

approached them without saying anything, which made the security guards shiver in fear.

“Don’t come closer. Lower your weapon!”

“Emerson!” Giada shrieked desperately.

Alas, the boy seemed to have not heard it as he walked past Cameron with a cold face, approaching

Abigail.

Abigail called the police and suppressed her fear while saying. “I’m at 5 Wagner Drive. Someone’s

attempting murder!”

The attempted murder in front of L.Moon quickly made the rounds on the internet.

On the other hand, the police had to injure the boy’s hand before restraining him.

Cameron was quickly rushed to the hospital, but the bone around his left eye was injured by the

hammer, causing his eye to rupture and retina to detach. The doctor’s diagnosis was that his left eye

would be

would be permanently blind.

Abigail felt her heart shatter upon hearing the diagnosis. She felt like crying but couldn’t. Instead, she

paced around while holding her phone.

Soon, she received a call from the police. “The kid has super-male syndrome. His parents didn’t know

he had such a genetic condition before this event. They thought he bullied his cla*smates and tortured

animals because he had a bad temper… Moreover, Giada Cain has been throwing a tantrum back at

home because of what happened with Leland Hodge, which was why he started repressing his

emotions. So, he decided to come with his mother to kill the person who mistreated his father.”

Abigail didn’t know much about super-male syndrome, so she asked, “What are the characteristics of

children like that?”

“Children like these require an extremely demanding educational environment, but in the case of

Leland’s family, it’s clear that the child has not been properly educated and guided. A bad family

environment makes it inevitable for such children to go to extremes. Coupled with improper education,

the crime rate of such genes can reach almost one hundred

percent.”

Abigail didn’t even know how she hung up the call before she began searching online for “super-male

syndrome.” When she found the description of such genes, she was so shocked that she broke out in a

cold sweat. Some of the descriptions were terrifying, especially when one of them started a hypothesis

claiming that if children like that were intelligent and grew up in a bad family environment, they could

develop an antisocial personality.

What she least expected in this situation was for the child to suddenly attack them. Cameron was also

caught off guard, causing him to lose an eye in the process.

When Howard rushed over and saw blood on Abigail’s coat, he was so shocked that he couldn’t make

a sound. “How’s Mr. Hopkins?”

Abigail, who was in a daze, snapped out of her thoughts after hearing Howard’s inquiry. She looked

around and saw Howard. “He lost an eye, but his life is intact.”
