Chapter 296
She lifted her gaze, a frigid stare fixed on him, her eyes laced with a trace of hatred. “Why? We’re divorced, so we have nothing to do with each other anymore!”
He towered over her, icy as a marble statue. “If you dare step out of this mansion, don’t ever dream of seeing Kane again!”
He spat out his threat word for word, turned, and walked out, leaving orders for his bodyguards to keep a strict eye on her, not allowing her to step out of the mansion.
She slumped onto the bed, a surge of resentment flooding her heart.
Was he worried she’d barge in on his engagement party, ruining his happy day?
A sorrowful smile gradually emerged on her face.
She couldn’t care less about whom he was marrying.
All she wanted was to save her child.
Just then, her phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID- it was Arnold.
Her tear–strained eyes lit up a bit, and she hurriedly answered the call.
“Aurelia, you finally answered. Are you okay?” His gentle voice instantly triggered her tears to spill again.
“I… I’m not okay, Arno. Can you help me…?”
Outside the mansion.
Leopold got into his car, pressing the button to down the window, making it easier to breathe.
Kevin swiveled around from the driver’s seat, “Mr. Leopold, are you sure about this?”
Before he could say more, Leopold cut him off, “Drive!”
Kevin sighed, starting the engine.
Leopold looked at the blood–stained divorce papers in his hand, the deep red a painful sight.
His fingers slowly clenched, the divorce papers crumpled into a grotesque ball.
He couldn’t let his enemies discover his vulnerability, or he’d be left defenseless.
Early next morning, Aurelia went to her mother’s room.
“Mom, I have to go. Liam’s still alive. He was taken away, and I have to save him.”
Jolin turned serious, “What about Leopold? He’s so powerful, why isn’t he saving the child? Why are you the one going?”
“We’re divorced. He’s marrying someone else now, and her name’s Evelyn, and she’s pregnant. Leopold doesn’t care about my children anymore.”
Aurelia grasped her mother’s hand, “Mom, you need to stay here, protect Kane. Evelyn is no saint, and if she finds out about Kane, she’ll definitely harm him. Can you protect him for me, and keep him safe from everyone?”
Hearing this, Jolin broke down, “How could this happen? I thought you found a good home, how did it all

change? How could Leopold do this to you? It’s so unfair!”
“Mom, he has a temper. For Kane’s sake, you need to be patient and avoid conflicts with him. Protecting Kane is the most important thing. Wait for me to come back, Aurelia advised.
Jolin nodded, wiping her tears, “Aurelia, you can’t go. How can you save him by yourself? This is like walking- into a lion’s den.”
Aurelia lowered her gaze, “Don’t worry, Arno will be with me. He’ll help me. He’s the only person in the world I can trust, the only one I can rely on.”
Truthfully, she was unsure if she could make it back alive, but she didn’t want to worry her mother.
