besides, even if you by some magic manage to leave the country, the moment you go, I’m having Thomas thrown in jail straight away.

The lawyers at the Fowler family’s disposal aren’t to be underestimated.

Thomas might never see the outside of a prison cell again, and then I’ll take

over every Smith family business.

By then, even if you train Matthew to be your heir, he’ll have nothing to his name.

In the end, all your efforts are wasted.

Hearing what Marcus said, Weldon was shocked.

Thomas seized the chance to convince him, saying, “Weldon, it’s time to give this up!”

Weldon, however, wasn’t ready to back down because he had placed a bet on it.

Thomas then pressed, “Do you really want me to end up in jail, Weldon?”

After a brief standoff, Weldon let out a sigh and released Matthew.

Matthew dashed to Marcus and jumped into his embrace, exclaiming, “Daddy! I knew you’d beat the monster.

Marcus pulled a toy water gun from his coat pocket and offered it, saying,

“Here, take this.

It’ll help you fend off the monsters.

Matthew tried to hold back his tears, wanting to show bravery.

He pointed the water gun at Weldon and declared, “You’re the bad guy! I’ll defeat you… I will!”

Marcus then knelt down and wrapped the boy in a warm hug from behind.

As he held Matthew close, Marcus buried his head in the boy’s neck.

Suddenly, Matthew turned and noticed Marcus’ eyes were filled with tears.

Surprised, he asked caringly, “Daddy, are you crying?”

Upon hearing Matthew’s question, Marcus was struck speechless, his body freezing in place for a prolonged moment.

Sensing Marcus’ unease, Matthew reached out, grasping Marcus’ hand reassuringly.

“Don’t worry.

I’ll keep you safe, Daddy.

A faint chuckle escaped Marcus’ lips, causing a slight tremor in his body.

Even though he was feeling ticklish, the little boy showed no signs of letting go.

Despite his tender age, Matthew understood the depth of Marcus’ affection for him.

In turn, Matthew loved his father dearly.

After a lengthy pause, Marcus finally spoke up, his voice deep and husky.

“I was so worried about you just now!”

In response, Matthew held him tighter, pressing his weight against Marcus’ shoulder.

Despite his own fear, Matthew comforted him.

“Don’t be scared, Daddy.

Matthew will protect you.

With resolve, he picked up the water gun, aiming it at Weldon once more.
