Jason interrupted Secretary Wang, “That’s enough! Old Master is dead. I’m in charge of the Reed family now, and it’s up to me to decide what kind of heir the Reed family needs! Everything you’ve done is pointless!”

Secretary Wang said, “Young Master, you wouldn’t have said that before you knew Grace! Back then, you were someone who would do anything for profits. Otherwise, how could you have let Grace go to jail knowing that she was innocent?”

Once he finished, Jason pulled Secretary Wang out of the chair and banged him against the wall nearby. “If you say one more word about this, I’ll make sure you can’t speak another word for the rest of your life!”

This was something that had always bothered him.

Secretary Wang chuckled. “What’s the matter? Young Master, are you still uneasy even now? Now that Grace has returned to you, why are you still uneasy?”

Jason’s thin lips were pressed into a straight line. “I’m just asking you who else knows that Mason is my son. You’ve always been cautious. You probably wouldn’t have told too many people about this. Is it the doctor who performed the C-section on Grace? Or someone who has been working for you and is now hiding somewhere? Or… Lily, who conspired with you back then?”

When Jason said Lily’s name, Secretary Wang stiffened slightly. Although it was only for a brief moment, Jason already saw through him.

‘Lily… Lily knows Mason is my and Grace’s son. Did Lily do this?’

The police and the Reed family had not found Lily even after so many years. Secretary Wang must have played a major role in this.

Otherwise, how could Lily have remained hidden for so many years after losing her wealth and status?

Jason let go of the man, got up, and looked coldly at Secretary Wang, who was lying awkwardly on the ground. “If anything happens to my son, I’ll send you to meet the old master!”

His voice was so cold that it made Secretary Wang shiver. Young Master seemed to have gone back to being the young master from before, who had not known Grace yet.

Cruel, decisive, and ruthless-this was what Old master Reed thought the heir of the Reed family should look like.

However, Young Master was only showing such a ruthless side because of his child. Was it a good thing? Grace was already Young Master’s weakness, and now, were their children going to be his weakness too?

Young Master could show his cruelest side for these weaknesses, but these weaknesses could easily destroy Young Master too!

Jason left, and the prison guard took Secretary Wang back to the prison.

“Old Master, it seems that things have gotten a little tricky. Young Master seems to have more weaknesses now. Maybe it would have been better not to save Grace and these three children. If you were still alive, would you blame me for this?”

Secretary Wang muttered to himself, but no one could answer him!

Jason returned to Reed Residence, and Grace was still awake.

“Did Secretary Wang say who else knows about Mason’s identity?” Grace asked anxiously.

“He didn’t say, but it’s probably Lily,” said Jason.

“Lily?” Grace was stunned. The name seemed to tear a hole in her memory.

Speaking of which, all this had happened because of Lily.

Lily was involved in her imprisonment, her falling into the sea, and her five-year separation from Jay.

“On my way back, I had someone look up everything related to Lily, including the Atkinson family and the Stevens family!” said Jason.

Grace could not help trembling. “What… What will Lily do to Mason? What if she wants more than money…”

If it were anyone else, Grace would think that the kidnapper just wanted money and would not hurt the child!

However, it was possible that Lily was the mastermind. Grace panicked! She was afraid that when she saw her child again, he would already be a cold corpse.

“Don’t worry.” Jason hugged Grace tightly. “Our child isn’t that vulnerable! Besides, Secretary Wang said he had trained and taught Mason a lot of skills. It’s unlikely that the little guy will let Lily have her way.”

Grace was momentarily stunned. Jason then told her what Secretary Wang said about Mason’s childhood.

Grace started sobbing, and tears welled up in her eyes as she listened.

‘My child suffered all these at such an early age! He’s the same age as… Jasper, but while Jasper was sleeping in my arms, Mason was engaged in all kinds of fights. He probably even fought with fierce dogs just to become an heir fit for the Reed family.

‘But Mason’s just a child! A child who couldn’t even speak fluently!

“How… How could Secretary Wang do that? Why… Why did Mason have to suffer like that?” Grace could hardly hear the rest of it. She hated Secretary Wang.

However, it was a fact that Mason had gone through all these experiences. She wanted to finish listening no matter what!

Her hands were clenched into fists as if she were trying her best to suppress her nerves, or she would have a breakdown.

Jason finally loosened Grace’s hands and stopped her from clenching them. “Your hands are still injured. It’ll only hurt more if you clench your fists so hard.”

“But Mason… has suffered from more injuries,” said Grace.

“I’ll bring Mason back to the Reed family, but you can’t ignore the condition of your hands. You almost hurt your hands to protect the little girl today,” said Jason as he gently stroked her palms where her nails had pressed into.

“That child has always protected Mason. She has Mason’s best interest at heart. How could I not protect her?” said Grace.

“Even if you wanted to protect her, you should’ve paid more attention to your own safety. Do you know how much you mean to me?” said Jason.

Jason pulled Grace into his arms again. “Grace, I love you. You mean more to me than anything!”

He could sacrifice anyone and anything but her.

She was his everything!

There had been no further messages or calls from the kidnappers. It was as if they were giving them enough time to prepare the money.

Although the Reed family did not report it to the police as per the kidnappers’ requirement, various relevant experts had secretly entered the residence. They started various preparations.

Grace also told Mick Reed and Jasper to stay home and take a leave of absence from the kindergarten for a few days.

Now that Mason had been kidnapped, she feared that something might happen to her other two children as well.

The two little ones seemed to feel the depressing atmosphere in the residence. They had also learned that their brother had been kidnapped.

Five-year-old children knew what kidnapping meant. Although they were still a little hazy about it, they knew that it was a terrible thing.

Jasper and Mick Reed remembered Mason. After all, they had seen him at the amusement park before, so they had an impression of him.

After finding out that Mason was their brother, Jasper Reed’s eyes widened in surprise. She made a ruckus for quite a while.

Mick Reed was only stunned for a moment before accepting the fact.

“Mommy, I’ll save Lil Bro.” Mick Reed looked at Grace, who had a sad look on her face. He made a serious promise. He immediately regarded Mason as his younger brother.

‘Um… I’m the eldest one, so I’m responsible for protecting my younger siblings!’

“Mick, I know your intentions, but there are already so many uncles here to save Lil Bro. You just need to stay home with your sister for a few days,” said Grace as she stroked her eldest son’s small head.

Mick Reed blinked and did not say anything more. Instead, he turned and went back to his room. Jasper followed him. Seeing the two little ones together, Grace heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Mason still occupied her head. She did not have extra energy to look after Mick and Jasper. Fortunately, she had Uncle Kwan and maids in the residence to help look after them. Hence, Grace did not have to worry too much about it.

“Young master Reed, we can’t find Sean. The courier company he’s working for said he has taken three days off. The people we sent to look into the Stevens family heard that Zoe Stevens told their neighbors that Sean has gone outstation to help collect debts. She said he would get a lot of money once he’s done with the job.” Terrence received the latest news and reported it to Jason.

“Sean…” Jason uttered the name. “I underestimated him. I never thought he would team up with Lily to do such a thing.”
