It was a picture of five years ago.
At that time, Riley was beautiful and even enthusiastic towards Vincent.
His eyes were somewhat deep, as if he had sunk into memories.
What kind of woman was Riley?
What Vincent remembered most clearly now was the way she looked at him, warm and affectionate.
He thought that it was love, but later he realized that she was just looking at another person through his
face.
Since childhood, it hadn't mattered for Vincent to be his accessory and comparison, anyway. But when
he grew up, he became his substitute. Vincent was unable to suppress such humiliation.
Riley was his woman!
They even had a child!
However, Samuel killed Riley.
Although he didn't do it in person, it was because of him and Nicole. They even claimed to be
benefactors, raising his son and letting him be grateful for them.
What a joke!
Vincent suddenly closed his pocket watch and placed it on his chest. He looked out coldly and said to
himself, "I'll get back what you two owe me sooner or later."
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Vincent put the pocket watch into his pocket and his face became cold again.
The comer looked around and found there was no outsider here. He smiled, "Mr. Vincent, I'm short of
money recently. Can you give me some money?"
The comer was cowardly and skinny.
Vincent looked at him and said coldly, "Ryan, I remember that I have given you some money not long
ago. What happened? Did you run out of it so quickly?"
"Mr. Vincent, you know that thing is very expensive. The last time you asked me to do the task, I paid
for it myself."
"How dare you mention it?"
Vincent's expression immediately changed.
Ryan trembled in fright, but he didn't dare to speak.
Vincent snorted coldly, "You promised me that Samuel would get addicted after drinking that wine. But
look at him now. He is energetic. Does he have the slightest bit of addiction?"
"But I did let Jeannie put the drug in. She refused at first because she said that Samuel was her
benefactor. Then I injected it into her, and she gave up. Besides, if Samuel weren't addicted, how could
he have disappeared for eight days? I think he should have gone to an addiction treatment center
during that period."
Vincent sneered.
"Didn't you tell me that it's hard to get rid of it? Do you think he can do it in eight days? Do you think the
addiction treatment center can be so capable? I have searched all the addiction treatment centers for
him, but I didn't find him. Do you think that he can get rid of the drug addiction in eight days by himself?
Ryan, you know what you will face if you lie to me! Did you hide the drug yourself? And is the drug that
Samuel took a defective product?"
Ryan immediately became nervous.
"No, Mr. Vincent, I don't dare to hide it from you. If it weren't for you protecting me for so many years, I
would have died long ago, let alone lead a free life. I will never betray you. Although I don't know what
went wrong, I indeed asked Jeannie to set up a trap for Samuel. As for the current situation, I don't
know why. Now Swift is still in their hands. Even if I want to lie to you, I won't dare. You know that I still
have feelings for Swift."
"Feelings? Ha-ha, I can't tell. Swift should be in Jacob's hands now. I will deal with it myself. You hide in
the club during this period. Samuel is looking for you now. If he finds you..."
"Mr. Vincent, don't worry. Even if I am captured by Samuel, I will not betray you."
Ryan immediately expressed his stance.
"I'm not afraid of that. It doesn't matter if you betray me, but your son..." Vincent said indifferently.
"I know. I have been with you for so many years, and my son is also under your care. I won't and dare
not to betray you."
Sweat dripped down Ryan's forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.
"That is the best. Your son is outstanding. If there is a chance, I will let you meet him. However, the
prerequisite is that you do my affairs well."
"I see."
Ryan nodded like a pug.
He had no choice. He had been an addict. Fortunately, he had a marriage with Swift and had a son
before he became addicted to that thing. Right now, with his weak body, he couldn't have more
children. Even if someone could conceive, their baby wouldn't be healthy.
He had a son, so he, of course, had to take care of him.
"Go back. Without my summons, don't appear in front of me again."
Vincent threw some money at Ryan and drove him away like he was a beggar.
Ryan took the money and left.
When he came out, he looked around and found that no one noticed him. Then he got into the taxi and
quickly returned to the club.
Ryan had his own room in the club.
He returned to his room and took out a picture of his son.
He guessed his son should be in his twenties. He didn't know if he was married and how he was now.
He had only heard from Swift that their son ran a few small companies, and was well-off and
successful. Although he was not very rich and noble, he could be considered a high-class person.
All these years, Swift had been taking care of their son, and all the expenses were paid by the Green
family.
Riley took some from Samuel, and some came from the secret assistance of Vincent.
Thinking of Riley, Ryan narrowed his eyes.
No one knew that Riley was not the descendant of the George family. She was just an abandoned baby
that Ryan took from the hospital.
Back then, to prevent their biological son from being discovered, Swift and Ryan had no choice but to
say Riley was the descendant of the George Family.
At that time, Mr. George was about to die. He really wanted a son to inherit the family business. It
would be best if they said their son was the descendant of the George family.
He and Swift thought so.
Unfortunately, they were not allowed to do so.
Ryan did not know why or who that person was, but he was powerful. After their son was almost killed,
Ryan and Swift had no choice but to exchange Riley for their son.
Over the years, Ryan had obtained many interests by using Riley in the Green family. Of course, those
interests were used on his son. However, Ryan had never known what his son looked like. The only
photo he had was a photo of his son in primary school.
Swift had been in contact with him all these years, but she was less enthusiastic. She said everything
was for their son. Ryan was employed by Vincent.
Over the years, he felt more and more unwell and wanted to see his son more and more.
Swift had promised him that as long as the matter of Samuel and Nicole was over, she would let them
reunite.
But now Swift had been captured and Vincent refused to reveal his son's whereabouts. Ryan didn't
know when he would see his son again.
He suddenly felt depressed. He opened a bottle of wine and drank it quickly.
Only by getting drunk could he not think of those things.
Ryan was still in a bad mood after getting drunk. He planned to go out for a walk, but he remembered
Vincent's warning, so he angrily went down to the basement.
The children in the basement were young.
Ryan looked at them. He had planned to find a few children to fight with him. But seeing them, Ryan
remembered his own son and couldn't help but sigh, "These children are pitiful. Give them more food.
I'll pay the bill. Give them a chicken drumstick today."
The guard was somewhat surprised.
"Ryan, did you become rich?"
"Of course not. I just feel that these children are tired because of training every day. After all, they are
still children. They may be useful in the future. Maybe we will have to rely on them."
Then Ryan left.
Because of Ryan's temporary kindness, the children had a full meal.
However, Hedy didn't eat the chicken drumstick.
She still remembered that Lucas was locked up in the small dark room. She didn't know how he was
now.
People locked up in the small dark room had nothing to eat.
Remembering Lucas was still hungry, Hedy put the chicken drumstick away.
Lucas didn't care about the situation outside at all.
He quickly chose what he needed and started to make something attentively.
In this aspect, Lucas was indeed a genius. Even if he lacked something, he could still find something to
replace it.
A day passed quickly.
Lucas finally finished before leaving the small dark room.
His heart was filled with excitement.
He was about to leave!
He was about to take Hedy and the others out!
He was about to see Mommy, Daddy and Zoe soon.
Lucas’ hands trembled slightly.
He carefully put the thing away, went back to his original place, sat down, and waited for them to let
him out.
In the evening, the guard finally released Lucas.
"Brat, do you dare to do it next time?"
When released, Lucas was kicked by him.
If it were in the past, Lucas would be angry and even find a time to take revenge. But now, he was
obedient. It seemed that he was truly afraid of being hungry. He didn't have any resistance or
dissatisfaction at all.
The guard smiled, "You're so bitchy. You wouldn't have suffered the punishment if you were obedient.
Go back! You still have to train tomorrow. Don't be late!"
Lucas returned to the iron cage without saying anything.
When everyone saw Lucas, they were somewhat excited and expectant.
Lucas nodded at them and smiled slightly.
Finally, they were going out!
