Joel strode up to them and instantly took hold of the situation with a deep, frosty, and thunder-like voice, scaring the Mitchell Family’s men out of acting rashly.

Seeing the crowd of threatening-looking soldiers, Anthony broke out in a cold sweat. He had never expected the Fletcher Family to care about Nathan so much as to send Joel out to snatch Nathan himself!

No—this is more like a display of the Fletchers’ power!

Sophia’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Joel. She quietly moved back to avoid meeting him.

As soon as Joel arrived, he glared at Anthony with a ferocious look on his face.

Stanley immediately approached Joel and complained, “It’s him, Uncle Joel! He’s the one who wants to snatch Nate away!”

Joel smirked icily. “Oh? Who are you?”

Thinking that he was Nathan’s grandfather and was entirely in the right no matter what, Anthony braced himself and said, “It’s me, Anthony. I’m Nate’s grandfather, so I have the right to take him back!”

“Hmph!” Joel stiffly curved up the corners of his lips, looking as though he was smiling. “I’m here today to speak on behalf of the Fletcher Family. Nathan is one of us Fletchers; whoever dares to snatch him from us will be an enemy of the Fletcher Family!”

Upon hearing Joel’s tone, Anthony’s back broke out in another cold sweat. Did Mark instruct Joel to say this?

 

Anthony’s eyes flickered as he decided to word his demand differently. “Since this is Old Master Fletcher’s wish, I shan’t insist on having Nathan back. It’s just that my youngest son has passed away for many years. I’ve missed Nate every single day throughout these years, but I only came to know his whereabouts today. Can I take Nate back to the Mitchell Residence for a while? I don’t mean anything else; I just want to take a look at him…”
