The nanny responded, "Grandpa, I got it."

In truth, their workload wasn't heavy, so there was no need to slack off. Once they finished their tasks, they still had plenty of time to relax.

Holden grabbed his car keys and hurried out.

Even at over seventy, his driving skills remained sharp. He never felt the need to hire a driver and drove straight into downtown Jensburg.

Upon arriving, he didn't go looking for Kathryn right away-he wasn't even aware she had been injured. Instead, he sought out some old friends, hoping they could give him information about what had happened at the Farrell estate the previous night.

After listening to Holden's inquiry, one of his old friends said, "We were actually going to ask you about that. Your three sons attacked your daughter. I heard they kidnapped her, planning to chop her up and feed her to the fish. If it weren't for Mr. Fraser, who was with her, bringing the police in time, she might not have made it. Even so, your daughter was still wounded by your sons. None of them escaped, and everyone they brought with them-including your adopted daughter's two brothers-was arrested on the spot. You've been living peacefully back home, and you had no idea your children had fallen this far?" Holden's face turned pale, his entire body going weak as he collapsed into a chair. He muttered to himself, "How... how is this possible?"

His friends exchanged glances. "We had gathered to discuss whether we should call and tell you," one of them admitted. "But we were worried you wouldn't be able to handle the news. You really didn't know?" These friends had known Holden for decades. They often ate, drank, and had fun together, and they were well aware of his attitude toward his biological daughter.

They had warned him before-reminding him that his only daughter had suffered in her adoptive family, bullied and mistreated. Now that she had finally returned, they had urged him to treat her well.
