Sarah felt a wave of dread wash over her and quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Joanna shoved her phone at Sarah. “Mom, Waverly took off Hazel’s clothes. She’s lost it. She’s trying to ruin Hazel. She…”
Joanna was so worked up that she couldn’t catch her breath and just passed out right there.
“Joanna!” Sarah cried out.
She quickly caught Joanna before she hit the floor and then barked at the servants, “Get the doctor, now!”
When Nina left, she made sure the Swanson family had doctors on standby.
The servants didn’t dare waste a second and rushed to call the doctors over.
The Swanson residence was thrown into chaos in an instant.
Sarah was frantic, calling Waverly over and over, but Waverly just wouldn’t pick up.
“That beast!” Sarah stomped her foot in fury. “How did I end up with a child like that?”
Seeing Sarah so worked up, Max quickly steadied her. “Sarah, try to calm down.”
Just as Max finished speaking, Sarah’s phone started ringing.
It was an unknown number.
Sarah picked up, and Waverly’s voice came through. “Mom, were you looking for me?”
Sarah snapped, “You damn brat, where the hell did you take Hazel?”
“Tsk, Mom, you don’t even care about your own daughter, but you spoil that useless granddaughter, Hazel. Once someone’s got connections, everything changes. Ever since Joanna started sucking up to Nina, you treat them like royalty.”
“Do you even have a heart? Hazel is your niece! How can you do this to her? Aren’t you afraid you’ll get what’s coming to you?” Sarah’s eyes blazed with fury.
“Everyone is out for themselves, Mom. You wouldn’t help me, so I’m out of options. I’m not here to chat. If you want Hazel back, cough up 300 million. Otherwise, she’ll end up as someone else’s toy.”
“Are you trying to push me over the edge? You know I don’t have that kind of money.”
“Maybe you don’t, but Nina does. The CEO of SN can easily come up with that much. That’s all I have to say. It’s your call.”
With that, Waverly hung up.

Sarah stared at her phone in disbelief, her chest tightening so much she could barely breathe.

Max quickly steadied her. “Sarah, try not to get too worked up. Waverly just wants money, so it’s something we can deal with. Nina has got the money.
“Maybe we should reach out to her first. Let’s keep things calm for now, and we’ll figure everything out once Nina gets back.”
Sarah clutched her chest, looking utterly defeated. “Ever since Nina returned, things have never been peaceful. She’s always the one fixing my problems. How could I possibly ask her for money?”
Every time she thought about it, guilt gnawed at her.
Nina had always had it tougher than anyone else growing up. Sarah could only guess at the hardships Nina had faced to become so tough.
Now that Nina was finally back, Sarah always talked about making it up to her, but in reality, there was so little she could do.
In the end, it was always Nina who stepped up for her and the whole Swanson family.
Whenever something goes wrong at home, it’s always Nina who has to step in.
Sarah wanted to save Hazel, but she was too ashamed to ask Nina for money.
Sarah sighed. “Fine, it’s my fault for raising such a mess. I’ll figure out a way to scrape the money together myself.”
With that, Sarah picked up her phone and called Maria.
“Hey, old friend, I really need a favor this time…” Sarah said.

Meanwhile, Luna trailed after Morgan into a shabby neighborhood.
Luna gave Morgan a puzzled look. “Mr. Tucker, why did we come here?”
Luna wondered, ‘Wait, weren’t we supposed to rescue Hazel?
‘Why are we in this rundown place?
‘Looks like hardly anyone lives here anymore.
‘The paint is peeling off the walls, and trash is scattered everywhere. No one’s bothered to clean it up forever.
‘The stench is overwhelming.’
“Save her,” Morgan said, his gaze cold as he fixed on a nearby building.
He cracked his knuckles and strode toward the building.

A few minutes later, Morgan came to a stop in front of the building.
