"If you dare lay a hand on the kids, Zev will make sure you pay for it!" Caden shouted, charging forward his fists clenching. For the first time in his life, he had the urge to hit a woman.
"Finally, a parent is here! Who is this woman? She barged in and even hit a child!" The schoolteachers and security guards had already surrounded the entrance, their faces filled with anger. A teacher glared at Clarissa. "What gives you the right to hit a child?"
Clarissa pointed at Shane. "He's my son! I carried him for nine months and gave birth to him!"
"Do you have any proof that you're his mother? Show us your ID or any legal documents. If you can't provide them, we'll call the police immediately!" The teachers and security guards watched her warily.
Clarissa's expression darkened. She had legally given up custody of Shane.
"Caden, this is between me and Shane. It has nothing to do with the Hardisons. You'd better hand him over," Clarissa said coldly before turning to Shane. "Shane, I was wrong just now. Be good and come home with me."
But Shane gripped Jasper's hand tightly and hid behind Caden and Charles.
With an icy expression, Charles eyed Clarissa's bodyguards like he was ready to strike at any moment.
"Shane!" Clarissa's frustration boiled over. She was furious-and shocked-that Shane no longer obeyed her.
She had spent the past two years molding him into the perfect, obedient child.
She had been so sure that the moment he saw her, he would come running back. After all, she was his mother. Even if Zev reported her to the police after she took Shane away, what could they do?
"You're not my mommy..." Shane's voice trembled, his fear of Clarissa still lingering.
Clarissa had always been harsh and strict with him.
"Bad lady!" Jasper puffed up his little cheeks in anger. "Don't bully Shane!"
With Jasper standing by his side, along with Charles and Caden, Shane finally found the courage to speak
1. up.
He clung tightly to Caden's pant leg and stared at Clarissa. "I don't want you
There was no warmth-no love from her. She was nothing to him now.
"I already have a mommy."
To him, Kelly was the one who truly deserved that title.
Clarissa stood frozen in shock.
Shane was her son. The child she had carried for nine months. "What did Kelly do
to Shane?" she seeth her mind racing. "She must have filled his head with lies
about me! That's the only reason he would tur. against me!"

Fury twisted inside her, and she directed all her hatred toward Kelly.
"You think kids don't understand anything? If you had treated him well, would he reject you like thist A cruel woman like you has no right to be called a mother." Caden scoffed. He picked Shane up effortlety "Get lost. Don't show your face again."
"Caden, he's my son!" Clarissa snapped, thinking she still had the upper hand. She turned to her bodyguards. "Take him!"
Caden was stunned. "Damn, you're seriously trying to snatch him in broad daylight?"
Caden, the teachers, and the security guards immediately shielded Shane and Jasper, backing away. Meanwhile, Charles took three swift steps forward-and in just a few moves, he single-handedly took down all three of Clarissa's bodyguards.
Caden, Shane, and Jasper all stared in stunned silence.
Then Jasper clapped his tiny hands excitedly. "Charles is awesome!"
Clarissa glared Caden. "Caden, you're overstepping! Taking my son has nothing to do with you. I'm calling Sidney right now!"noveldrama
She was confident Sidney would see reason. He was a businessman, and since he was aligned with Shawn, he wouldn't disregard the Wagner Group's influence. Even if he didn't care about her, he had to care about the company. Besides, Shane was her son-taking him back was perfectly reasonable.
Caden rolled his eyes. Clarissa was digging her own grave.
"Mr. Hardison, it's Clarissa."
She dialed Sidney, and he picked up.
"Caden is refusing to give Shane back to me. I think you should step in and tell him to stay out of this. After all, this has nothing to do with him or the Hardisons," she said confidently.
Sidney was silent for a moment before responding in a low voice. "Your son? Do you even deserve to call him that?"
Clarissa froze and pulled the phone away to check if she had called the right number. "Mr. Hardison?"
Sidney didn't bother entertaining her any further-he simply hung up.
Clarissa stared at her phone, her expression darkening. What the hell did he mean by that?
Moments later, Shawn called. "Clarissa, why the hell are you messing with the Hardisons right now? Get back here and don't lay a hand on Shane!"
Clarissa gripped her phone in disbelief. "Shane is my son! What does this have to do with the Hardisons?"
"Sidney dotes on Caden so much he might as well be a princess. Do you have any idea that those rich kids behind his back all call him 'the Hardisons' little princess'? Now is not the time to provoke him. Leave Shane alone and come back immediately. I mean it, Clarissa." Shawn's voice was low, his tone unmistakably threatening.
Clarissa clenched her teeth. She was furious but had no choice but to turn and leave.

"Who said you could go?" Caden sneered, stepping in front of her. "You already
hit Shane, and now you want to lay a hand on Jasper, too?"
Clarissa frowned at him, thinking he was insane. Was he fighting this hard to play dad to someone else's kid? "What do you want?"
"Slap yourself. Don't make me do it for you." Caden smirked. "And don't say I didn't warn you-if you refuse, I have plenty of dirt on Beluga Club's dirty dealings."
Being a wealthy playboy came with its perks-he had inside knowledge of all the shady things going on in the Beluga Club. And right now, that was Clarissa's biggest weakness.
Clarissa stood there, fists clenched, absolutely livid. Caden was a real bastard. Meanwhile, at Lockhart Group, Gary arrived to see Zev.
"Why does Charles have Carlos's identification badge? He's using Carlos's identity... "Zev frowned, lowering his voice as he questioned Gary.
Carlos had gone undercover, yet now his real identity was somehow being used
by someone else. Whether it was checking an ID card or pulling up official
records, all the data showed Caden's right-hand man, Charles.
Whoever had orchestrated this wasn't just an average person-it had to be someone high up.
Gary glanced at Zev. "All I can tell you is that he's one of ours. Beyond that, don't ask. It's classified."
