Chapter 50

Noah was surprised to learn that Thomas’ most recent location was close to Quinton Corporation.About an hour ago, the boy’s phone connected to the building’s network.

Did Colt intend to go to Quinton Corporation? Was he looking for me because I wasn’t home last night?Noah chastised himself for forgetting to inform Colton that he would not be returning home. After all,the boy was going through an insecure phase. As a result of his negligence, Colton was kidnappedoutside the Quincy family’s office building.

Noah seethed inwardly, who has the nerve to kidnap Colt? Next, he

instructed, “Wayne, go through all of the surveillance cameras near Quinton Corporation in the lasthour. I believe

Colt was abducted near the building.”

“Okay, I’m on to it!” Wayne replied. He was appalled that someone dared to kidnap the Qunicy familyoutside their office building.

Meanwhile, Thomas followed Bruno back home. He shamelessly requested that the servants bring himice cream. and pastries as if he lived in the house.

In contrast to Thomas’ relaxed demeanor, Bruno was pacing the living room, sensing something waswrong. The more he considered the plan, the more unsure he became. Ten million dollars is such ahefty sum. Why would Noah, the most powerful and feared man in Imperia, be willing to surrender soeasily?

“Are you sure this will work, Colt? What if Noah discovers that we staged the kidnap? Who’s going toshoulder the blame?” Bruno asked anxiously. He sat

beside Thomas and gave the child a worried look.

“Don’t worry. Daddy is rich!” Thomas assured.

“This is no longer about money, Colt. Even though the man who answered the call and arranged for themoney is just his subordinate, I’m afraid Noah will learn the truth one day…” Bruno sighed.

“Fret not. You can pretend you invited me to your house to play if he discovers the truth. You’re notgoing to take

money on your own. You can act as if you know nothing about the matter.” Thomas was trying his bestto think of a solution for Bruno. Even though he did not fancy the man or his house, he could not denythat the durian crepe made by his servants was delicious.

Thomas thought, Mommy wasn’t lying

when she said the only tasty dish she had as a child was the durian crepe! Even though the old mandid not reveal his identity, I know who he is. Since the event with Angie’s mother, I’ve been researchingthe Grant family tree. Hence, I’m aware of the Grant family members and how they look. I recognizethe old man the moment I saw him outside Quinton Corporation. It’s my grandfather that I have neverseen – Bruno Grant!

“Are you sure this will work?” Bruno asked skeptically.

“It’s too late to regret now that we have informed Daddy of the kidnap. Don’t worry, old man!”

“I guess we have no choice but to continue,” Bruno muttered. He blamed himself for being foolishenough to listen to a child’s instructions.

“You have such a beautiful house, old man. May I explore?” Thomas asked.

“Sure. Please be careful and try not to break anything,” Bruno replied.

“All right!” Thomas said merrily, as he skipped upstairs to start his exploration.

Bruno was not in the mood to deal with Thomas as he sat in the living room, worried that Noah woulddiscover he was the one responsible for the kidnapping.

When Thomas arrived upstairs, he went through each room, hoping to replace Madeline’s room. He wasdisappointed to discover no sign of his mother. There were just three people in all of the photographs inthe house. It was as though his mother did not belong to the family.

Thomas thought angrily, Mommy is such a beautiful and capable woman! How can they be soungrateful and forget about her? In his moment of fury, he accidentally pushed a stand in Bruno’s studyroom.

Clang! The vase dropped on the floor with a resounding thud.

Thomas looked at the shattered vase with great satisfaction. Bruno, on the other hand, paled when heentered the room and saw the expensive vase destroyed. He was made to feel even worse by theominous event.

Bruno fumed inwardly, I spent all the money earned over the years on this antique vase. Even whenthe Grant family was starving, I did not bear to sell it away. I can’t believe that it’s destroyed by thisbrat!

The man erupted in rage and vowed to teach Thomas a lesson. To his chagrin, the boy had bolted andwas no longer in the room.

“Where’re you, Colt? Look at what you have done! Stop hiding and come out right now!” Bruno roared.

With a sandal in his hand, the old man searched through each room for

Thomas. Unbeknownst to him, the latter had already carried his backpack and sneaked out of theGrant residence.

When Bruno finally realized that Thomas had left the house, the boy was already in the cab andmaking his way to Eastview Park. There was no way Thomas would allow Bruno to earn ten milliondollars. After all, he would one day inherit Noah’s money. He thought triumphantly, the ten milliondollars will be mine someday!

Owing to his petite size, Thomas was able to maneuver the park undetected. He reached thedesignated bin in no time. After examining his whereabouts, he deduced that the ransom was withinthe large suitcases beside the bin. Much to his chagrin, he had overlooked the fact that his smallbackpack could not hold ten million dollars. However, Thomas became motivated when he realized thatthe money would soon belong to his mother’s enemy if he did not come up with a solution.

Thomas crawled out of the bushes and ran to the dustbin. He waved his arm and shouted, “Are thehandsome guards from the Quincy family here? I’m Colton from the Quincy family! You will berewarded if you send me back!”

The young boy’s words drew the attention of nearby guards who pretended to stroll through the park.

They intended to apprehend the kidnapper as he retrieved the money from the garbage.

“Colt!” Noah, who had just arrived at the park, shouted when he heard Thomas’ voice. He immediatelyrushed to the boy and wrapped him in a tight embrace.

Thomas leaned on the man’s shoulder and gently patted his back to console him.

“I’m sorry, Colt. Daddy came late,” the man apologized.

“You wouldn’t need to give the person ten million dollars now that I’m back right?” Thomas asked.

“Yeah,” Noah replied.

“Doesn’t that mean I helped Daddy to save ten million dollars?” Thomas

probed.

“I guess so,” Noah answered.

With great resolve, Thomas asked shamelessly, “Can you give me the money then?”
