“It wasn’t me who kidnapped Paul, Scar slowly opened his eyes. “Back then, he only trusted people he knew and was highly cautious of strangers.”

Josie was aware of this. That was why her curiosity was aroused. She wondered how they managed to abduct Paul right from the bustling city district.

“The one responsible for this matter was Xanthe.”

The moment the name was mentioned, it hit Josie like a sudden shock, leaving her frozen in place.

Dexter’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Although he didn’t show much of a reaction, it was clear that he was taken aback. He almost crushed the teacup in his hand.

“And you are?”

“My name is Xanthe, Dexter’s mother. It’s nice to finally meet you.”
