Chapter 145

"A good kid?" said Charlie as he pointed a linger at Mark, "When we were kids, he stole some things, and the two of you had me cover for him. You guys let me take the fall for it. Whenever he caused trouble, you'd always blame me for not keeping an eye on him. "Back then, I hated and blamed you both for it, but I know the truth now. It wouldn't have mattered how well I did or how kind I was to the two of you. Neither of you would've ever treated me the same way you treated him because I'm not your son in the first place." Charlie couldn't believe that he worked hard all those years just so he could get their approval.

He now knew it wouldn't have mattered how great he was. His parents would never have treated him right.

Stanley was so angry that his face turned red. He roared, "Regardless of the situation, we were the ones who raised you, so your family must pay us for it. If not, they can forget about ever taking you away."

Charlie replied, "First off, I'm not even your son. Even if I were, I'd still be a free man. I can go wherever I want to go."

There was no way Stanley and Mark would let Charlie off the hook just like that. The two of them made a scene.

On top of that, they claimed that if the Langs took Charlie away without paying, the Kents would surely track the Langs down in the future. They would cause so much disruption that the Langs would never know peace. Everyone was still arguing when the siren from a police car got louder and louder.

The Kents, who were acting all barbaric and unreasonable, instantly turned pale with fear.

"Did you call the police? How could you possibly be such a cruel son? I shouldn't have raised you all those years ago," scolded Stanley as he looked at Charlie.

Charlie didn't reply, but he wasn't the one who called the police.

Demi and her parents shook their heads as well, expressing that they didn't call the police either.

Madison replied, "I was the one who called the police. Your adoptive parents didn't just kidnap a child. They're also guilty of illegally selling children." Charlie exclaimed, "What?"

Everybody had shock plastered on their faces.

Madison calmly said, "Your adoptive parents used to be able to have kids of their own. But all their children were girls, so they sold their babies."

Charlie stared at Stanley and Gina in disbelief.

Stanley replied with his head held high, "Daughters are nothing but burdens. What's the point of keeping them?"

Gina said in a soft voice as well, "Girls are useless. At the end of the day, they'll just marry into another family."

Charlie didn't know how to respond to that.

The police arrived at the house at that moment and asked, "Which one of you is Stanley Kent? Someone called the police and said that you're guilty of kidnapping and selling children. Please follow us to the police station for further investigation." "Officer, I never did that!"

The Kents were taken away after that.

The Langs were taken to the police station as well.

Charlie picked up his phone and turned to Madison. He asked, "Miss, about my adoptive parents..."

"There's evidence to prove that they committed those crimes. Hence, they'll be punished by the legal system."

Charlie didn't say anything

This was supposed to be an ordinary day, but it felt as though his heart had taken a roller coaster ride. Intense sorrow and happiness came and went repeatedly.

So much had happened within a day. All Charlie was certain of was that it didn't matter what happened. He would always love Demi. He reached out and held Demi's hand. Their eyes met, and they smiled. Drini's eyes

eyes were red with tears, but she smiled at Charlie anyway. The two of them turned their attention to the camera after that.

Their voices brimmed with appreciation when they said, "Thank you, miss."

Demi's parents turned to the camera as well. "Thank you for helping us find our son."

"I'm not the one who helped you find your son. That's all your own doing. All those years ago, you showed kindness and saved a baby's life. This is your reward for doing good deeds," replied Madison.

A small smile crept on her lips as she added, "I wish you all a happy life together."

"Thank you, miss."

Madison then hung up the call. She was getting ready to talk to the next lucky draw winner.

The viewers in the livestream were still discussing wholeheartedly, though. They were sharing their views on what happened earlier in the livestream.

A viewer wrote, "That'll be a marriage where the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will have no trouble connecting at all." Another viewer replied, "One short day was all it took to show Charlie the true meaning of life." Yet another viewer typed, "The daughter they rescued and adopted years ago brought their biological son back to them. Yay!"

Madison read the comments. She thought about what she saw on both Demi's and Charlie's faces. She knew that the two of them were destined to live happily together. That prompted her to smile once more,
