Chapter 1

The rain poured heavily at night, and dark clouds shrouded the city. Olivia stood in the rain before Carter Manor, looking at the tall, lanky man before her. He stood under the porch, his deep, dark eyes as cloudy as the night sky. His eyes gleamed with indescribable emotions as he looked at the disheveled Olivia. After a moment, he took out a bank card and a plane ticket from his pocket and threw them at her. He said coldly and ruthlessly, "Leave and don't come back!" With that, he turned and went into the house. Olivia watched him while shivering. She had always known that Nathan hated her! Her heart felt empty and chills ran down her spine as the rain poured down heavily. After some time, she sadly picked up her few belongings and walked away. There was a crack in the bedroom curtains on the second floor. Nathan watched the thin figure gradually disappear in the heavy rain. His fists clenched tightly at his sides, and he punched the window... Emma stood at the door with a glass of water. She wanted to come in, but she unexpectedly witnessed this scene instead. A cold, bitter expression flashed in her eyes! She resented that Nathan had given Olivia money to send her abroad. Why is he still secretly watching her from a distance in the study? Olivia is such a lowly w*nch. What's so good about her? A slightly cruel expression surfaced in Emma's eyes... Half an hour later, Olivia walked ahead in a daze on a dark, empty street while dragging her luggage. Suddenly, a motorcycle appeared in the distance and quickly approached, snatching away what little belongings Olivia had left. She fell to the ground and was dragged and rolled a few times. As a sharp pain shot through her body, her vision faded to black. Darkness completely enveloped her, and she entirely lost consciousness! Five years later, a graceful figure sat in the general manager's office at Horizon Ventures' headquarters in Germany. She had delicate features, and she carefully swept her eyes over the documents in her hand as she sat at a top-notch, African redwood desk. She worked efficiently as she scanned through multiple lines of words effortlessly. A faint sandalwood fragrance lingered in the air, and a cup of coffee was beside her. She was in a limited edition haute couture suit that outlined her slender figure. It had just debuted at Paris Fashion Week. With her hair pulled into a high bun, she looked somewhat relaxed yet experienced. She had makeup on, and she looked very charming. Although beautiful, elegant, and dignified, she was also aloof and unapproachable. She wasn't one to be messed with! At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Olivia's assistant, Benjamin Hayes, hurriedly entered and said anxiously, "Something's wrong, Ms. Olivia. Your son has run away from home again!" Olivia frowned at him, sounding slightly displeased. "Why are you panicking? It's not his first time running away. He'll be back soon!" "It's not..." Benjamin stomped his foot in frustration. "It's different this time. He went abroad and even took Mr. Valtor with him!" "What did you say?" Olivia's face turned cold as she put down the documents in her hand. "Where did they go?" "They went to Emberfall in Wirthon," Benjamin quickly replied and handed his phone to Olivia. Two dots blinked on the screen, marking Liam's current coordinates! "Does he think he's invincible?" Olivia had an unpleasant expression. She immediately took out her phone to call her son, William, who's usually nicknamed Liam. An automated voice quickly rang on the phone. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable..." Olivia was dumbstruck. Her eyes darkened, and she had a cloudy expression. Why did they go to Emberfall? What is that kid up to?

Her mind whirled for a moment before she said calmly, "Book a plane ticket and bring him back immediately." "Understood," Benjamin answered and left. At that moment, the young Liam sat in a café across the towering, imposing Carter Group in the city of Emberfall in Wirthon. The child sat by the window, swinging his legs leisurely. A laptop was in front of him, displaying a dazzling array of code on screen. Mr. Valtor sat beside the boy and looked at him in admiration. It was rumored that Carter Group had the safest security system in the world. Ordinary hackers couldn't breach their defenses at all. But now, Liam was treating it like child's play as he silently breached each layer of defense. The boy was only a little over four years old but extraordinarily smart! 'Ding.' At this moment, the web page showed that he had successfully breached the system. "Yay, done!" Liam cheered happily and clapped. Mr. Valtor leaned over. "You're so fast!" "Of course! Mommy taught me this system. It can even breach Xenava's defenses. Although Carter Group has powerful defenses, it can't stop me!" the boy said proudly. He slid off the chair, picked up his small backpack at the side, and walked away after saying, "Mr. Valtor, wait for my good news. I'm going to find my dad!" "Go for it! All the best!" Mr. Valtor trusted the boy's ability and wasn't worried about him. Liam then crossed the street and entered Carter Group. Once inside, he headed to the president's private elevator, which required a fingerprint and passcode. He felt a faint anticipation as he went forward to crack the software. I'll meet Daddy soon! I wonder if Daddy will be surprised or happy to see me! Lost in thought, he successfully cracked the password. He eagerly stepped into the elevator, ascending to the top floor. Nathan had just finished three conference calls in the meeting room on the top floor and was massaging the bridge of his nose wearily. His refined brows were slightly furrowed, and he had an unpleasant expression. His devilishly handsome face looked even colder than usual. His assistant, Ethan Thompson, handed him materials for the next meeting and asked concernedly, "Mr. Carter, don't you want to take a break?" The company had been busy lately, and Nathan was a workaholic. When he was swamped, he worked tirelessly like a machine. As Nathan's right-hand man, Ethan was also working round the clock. He felt like he didn't even have time to catch his breath! Nathan took the documents, waved his hand, and said coldly, "No need!" He had meetings all day today, including two global conferences in the evening. He didn't have time to rest. Ethan was dumbstruck and could only continue working helplessly. At that moment, the conference room door opened. Nathan's secretary, Fiona Agers, came in, flustered. She reported, "Mr.… Mr. Carter, there's a child outside who wants to see you. He said... he's your son." Nathan hated to be disturbed while working. He was highly displeased by how his secretary had burst in anxiously. Moreover, what she said was so absurd. Nathan's face darkened almost instantly. Ethan was also briefly stunned. He berated Fiona. "Ms. Agers, what nonsense are you talking about?" Mr. Carter isn't even married. How can he have a son? "I... I..." Fiona trembled with fear and dared not speak. However, a small figure emerged behind her, his shiny eyes looking at the people in the room. His gaze quickly locked onto Nathan, and he ran over excitedly. "I found you! This is great! Daddy... we finally met!" The little boy pounced on Nathan and tightly wrapped his arms around the man's legs, beaming. Nathan was dumbstruck. He gazed at the child dangling from his leg and was stunned. He didn't know how to react. Ethan's eyelids twitched, and he instinctively wanted to pull the child away. His boss wasn't fond of strangers touching him. However, his hand froze mid-air when he saw the child's face. The young child had delicate, refined features. His cheeks were soft and supple, and his dark eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky. His dazzling, animated gaze made him look lively yet wise beyond his years. His appearance surprisingly resembled Nathan! Ethan was somewhat perplexed and astonished. "Mr. Carter, this..." Nathan finally snapped back to reality when he heard it. His brows furrowed, and he was utterly displeased. "Why are you just standing there? Get rid of him! Make his parents come to collect him. Who brought him here? Throw him out at once!" "Ah... Alright!" Ethan was surprised, but he came to his senses and felt like his rational self again. Mr. Carter has no interest in women. How could he have a child? I must've been out of my mind to think this is Mr. Carter's son! Ethan moved forward quickly to pick the boy up. "Boy, where's your family? You can't play here! Come on, I'll take you out of here..." The child unexpectedly held on tighter to Nathan's pant leg. He shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving. Nathan Carter is my Daddy! It hasn't been easy to find Daddy..." The boy seemed slightly aggrieved. He looked at Nathan's cold expression and spoke in a babyish voice. "Daddy, my name is William Monroe. You can call me Liam. I'm four years and three months old! I'm your son! I did a DNA test. Take a look if you don't believe me." As he spoke, he let go and swiftly retrieved a piece of paper from his backpack before handing it over. Nathan didn't reach out to take it. He found it absurd that a child had inexplicably appeared out of nowhere and claimed to be his son! Ethan felt a shiver run down his spine. He couldn't help but think to himself. What an elaborate scam. This boy is so good at blackmail. He even provided DNA evidence. It must be fake, right? Ethan quickly glanced at the document out of suspicion. To his surprise, Nathan's information was accurate, including his blood type and age. The probability of paternity was 99.9 percent!

"Mr. Carter, please take a look at this!" Ethan was instantly shocked. He quickly scanned the document and handed it to Nathan, who said impatiently, "Stop wasting time!" "No, this... document seems real!" Ethan's heart constricted as he explained hastily. Nathan frowned. He glanced at the paper coldly and quickly identified the legitimacy of the information. It was authentic! But he still couldn't believe the boy was his child. "Who helped you falsify this DNA? Where did you get this information?" Nathan's face turned cold as he scrutinized the little boy before him sharply. Liam wasn't afraid at all. He replied earnestly, "I didn't fake it. I investigated the information myself! What's wrong with that?" Nathan narrowed his eyes as if trying to determine if the boy was lying. Something suddenly flashed through his mind. Hold on... This child is four years and three months old, and his last name is Monroe! As he recalled the last five years, the only woman he had ever been with was... Nathan suddenly felt uneasy! He stood up abruptly, his voice slightly constricted as if feeling uneasy. "You said... your last name is Monroe? What's your mom's name?" "Olivia Monroe," Liam replied honestly in a childish voice. Nathan was briefly stunned, his face in disbelief. "You... Repeat it. What is her name?" "Olivia Monroe. Daddy, don't you know who Mommy is?" Liam looked at Nathan slightly dejectedly. Nathan didn't respond, but his heart raced violently. Even his fingers trembled a little! Olivia Monroe! It's been five years! You're finally back after disappearing for five years! Ethan was equally surprised when he heard this name. He knew who Olivia was! He also knew she had disappeared after being kicked out of Carter Manor five years ago! Nathan had almost turned every inch of Europe upside down in the past five years but couldn't find her. He never expected that she would return with a child this way... After processing it for a moment, Nathan finally accepted the news. His expression was still cold and slightly hostile! "Where is your mommy? Did she send you to look for me?" If you can hide for five years, why not just hide forever? Liam shook his head. "Mommy doesn't know. I secretly returned to the country to look for you..." He hesitated briefly. "But Mommy should have realized it now, so she must be coming after me. Daddy, you must protect me. Mommy will punish me!" After saying this, he threw himself into Nathan's arms. Nathan was still angry, but something in his heart stirred after the child hugged him. His hostile demeanor vanished entirely, and his expression softened unconsciously. He asked, "You said you secretly returned to the country? Did you come alone?" "No, I didn't. I initially planned to come by myself, but the airport doesn't allow children to travel alone, so I brought Mr. Valtor!" Speaking of Mr. Valtor, the boy suddenly remembered that he was waiting downstairs, so he asked, "Daddy, can Mr. Valtor come up? He's at the café across from the office!" Nathan didn't object. He picked up his son and instructed Ethan, "Bring him up! And cancel all my meetings today." Ethan acknowledged his instructions and quickly left the room! Meanwhile, Olivia was on her way to the country, feeling restless as she wondered about the purpose of Liam's visit. When she finally arrived the following morning, she immediately called Liam when the plane landed. At that moment, Liam was already awake. Mr. Valtor was helping him wash up and get dressed as usual. Nathan stood at the side and asked Mr. Valtor, "Was it you who's been looking after Liam these years?" He feigned a nonchalant tone, but it was slightly probing. He wanted to learn more about the child and perhaps even the woman. However, Mr. Valtor was very tactful. He knew exactly what to say and what to keep private. "Ms. Olivia is very busy with work, but she still manages to spend time with William daily." Nathan nodded. He wanted to ask more questions when a phone ring suddenly echoed. It was Liam's phone. When he glanced at it, Liam was instantly startled. Mr. Valtor was also surprised, and he glanced at Nathan hesitantly. Nathan immediately knew who was calling. His jaw clenched, and he said coldly, "Answer it." However, he had no intention of leaving! Liam didn't dare answer, so he handed the phone to Mr. Valtor, who braced himself and answered the call. Olivia's voice rang loudly on the other end. "William Monroe! You have three seconds to tell me where you are right now!" Her voice was piercing, and Nathan heard it clearly. It was indeed that woman's voice! His eyes flickered, but he remained composed. "Ms. Olivia, it... it's me," Mr. Valtor spoke cautiously. Olivia was furious and yelled, "Where is William Monroe?! Why didn't he answer the phone? Mr. Valtor, why did you play along when Liam was reckless and immature? You went to another country without saying anything! Don't you know how worried I'd be? Where are you now? Come to the hotel immediately and meet me!" Mr. Valtor glanced at Liam instinctively. The little boy shook his head vigorously. It was evident that he didn't want to go. Mr. Valtor spoke bluntly with a pained expression. "Ms. Olivia, William... found his dad, and we're currently at Carter Manor!" Olivia was dumbstruck. Even though she had much to say, she was suddenly speechless. Although she had suspicions, her mind couldn't help but reel upon hearing the truth. It was just as she had suspected! Liam had come to look for Nathan! She had inadvertently mentioned Nathan's existence a few months ago, and the little boy had become fixated on it! That's why he had made such a long journey to the country! And now, Nathan was aware of Liam's existence... Just the thought of this made it hard for Olivia to breathe. The humiliation of being expelled from Carter Manor years ago still lingered vividly. Time had passed, and she had grown indifferent, but deep down, she honestly didn't want to be involved with the Carter family any further. Olivia took a deep breath. She suppressed her tumultuous emotions and ordered, "Mr. Valtor, bring Liam back immediately. I won't repeat myself." Mr. Valtor sensed the determination in her tone. He understood that there must have been unresolved issues between her and Nathan. Mr. Valtor was at fault for sneaking William out. He hesitated momentarily and was about to respond when Nathan's deep, icy voice rang first. "Tell her that if she wants to take Liam home, she must come and speak with me in person!" His voice was soft, but Olivia heard it.
