The sky was darkening.
No one knew when the feud between Eric and Clayton started.
Occasionally when they met each other outside, Clayton would take the initiative to say hello to Eric.
However, Clayton's attitude was nonchalant. Every word that Clayton said could easily rile up Eric, but that made Clayton very happy.
Eric always coveted Nicole but was unwilling to do anything about it.
The real progression of the relationship between them was on the day that Chance found out that Angie was dead.
Several months had passed.
Angie died on her way back to Southeast Asia.
The cause of her death was related to the two teenage girls who were also among the stowaways at the border.
However, because of the limited space in the car, Angie gritted her teeth and stabbed the two girls with a knife, throwing them out before they were about to be discovered.
Due to this incident, everyone targeted Angie.
It was not because Angie was cruel.
It was more so because the people there were more worried about their own safety.
Before Eric’s subordinate did anything, Angie was secretly stabbed to death one night.
The person who killed her was the father of the two girls Angie murdered.
He was also among the stowaways.
Naturally, Clayton's subordinates did not need to do anything either.
Their men returned empty-handed, but they all felt relieved.
It was particularly enjoyable to have something solved without getting one’s hands dirty.
Mitchell kept telling Chance that Angie had returned to Southeast Asia.
With the help of a psychiatrist, Chance also gradually came out of the previous incident.
However, he still could not speak.
The cry that day seemed like a dream.
Mitchell finally coaxed Chance to go back to school.
As always, Chance was obedient and quiet. All the teachers took special care of him.
Levi was the happiest to see Chance.
Somehow, Levi had a natural sense of duty to protect Chance.
It was probably because Chance was different from Chatty. Chatty was not meek, nor did she listen to
Levi. Instead, she would even fight back sometimes.
Chance was different. He would think that whatever Levi said made sense.
Thus, Levi became Chance's protector in school.
In school, Chance was still happily playing games with Levi when someone called him out.
"Chance, your aunt said she needs to tell you something.”
Chance blinked. Before he could react, a strange yet familiar-looking woman had already appeared in front of him.
"Thank you, teacher. My brother asked me to take him home
"Okay, Ms. Ferguson."
How could they not recognize Ingrid?
The young lady of the Ferguson family had an infamous reputation.
Ingrid dragged Chance out and left.
Chance had no chance to resist at all.
After getting into the car, Ingrid glanced at him leisurely and laughed sarcastically.
"I see you’ve had a good life. You've gotten fatter since the time you were in Southeast Asia. It seems that my brother still cares about you!"
Chance could not speak and just kept staring at her. He tried to find a pen and paper but realized that he did not bring them with him.
They did not prepare a pen and paper for him in the car either.
