Chapter 28
After leaving the train station, Dominic, Silvia’s biological dad, threw the luggage off his shoulder onto the ground. His cloudy eyes flashed with a shrewd light. “If we don’t go, our son will get his hands chopped off!
“If we don’t find her, we can only look for Madelyn, but do you dare to mess with that freak?”
Fear struck Alice’s heart, and she shook her head frantically. “No, we can’t go to her; she’ll kill us!”
Suppressing the fear, Alice hesitated again. “But the Saxon family paid 1.5 million to sever our blood ties with Silvia. They warned us not to contact her or disturb her. If they find out, they’ll make us pay.”
“Idiot, just hide it. The Saxon family is rich; they give millions in allowance every month. Since Silvia carries our blood, she should support us. Why should the Saxon family just cut us off like that?”
Dominic hunched over, his eyes cold and ruthless. “First, get 1.5 million to save Austin and bring him to the city. Then make Silvia buy us a house. and car so we can settle here.”
The Saxon family gave them 1.5 million, plus the 600 thousand Silvia left behind, totaling over 2 million.
For an ordinary family, that would be enough for a comfortable life.
Dominic built a small villa in town and even bought two cars. But Austin got into gambling and stole money from home. Within a month, he lost a million and owed the casino over 2 million.
The casino threatened that if they didn’t pay within half a month, they would chop off Austin’s hands.
Dominic sold the house and cars, got 1.5 million, and immediately brought his wife to the city to look for Silvia.

Chapter 28
“That girl was a fool. Even after becoming a wealthy lady, she still secretly came back to visit us and left 600 thousand behind. Since she was my child, she should support the family,‘ he said inwardly.
“Let’s go!” Dominic walked out, and Alice hurriedly followed.
Behind them, a limping figure slowly appeared. He stared at their backs and smirked evilly before limping after them again.
When Aria fixed her phone, the sun was about to set. She rubbed her fingers, turned it on, and new messages popped up.
Caleb sent half an hour ago: [Aria, Mom is coming to see you; probably to apologize.
[I have an emergency and need to head back to the office. If you don’t want to see them, don’t open the door.]
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Aria opened the surveillance and saw Zoe and Nathan.
“Mom, just give her a call. Why do you have to come all the way here? I haven’t finished my homework yet!” Nathan complained.
His family wouldn’t let him dye his hair, so Nathan got it permed instead. His bangs were a bit long and covered part of his eyes, but they couldn’t hide his arrogant gaze.
He was clearly annoyed and confused.
Zoe glanced at him with slightly reddened eyes. “What do you know? Aria calls me Mrs. Saxon now, not Mom. It’s my fault.”
Seeing her about to cry again, Nathan raised his hand. “I’m sorry, Mom. You apologize. I’ll go with you.”

Chapter 28
Zoe sniffled and continued ringing the doorbell. “Maybe Aria isn’t home?”
“I don’t know; we’re not that close.”
Aria sat there for five minutes waiting for them to leave.
Finally, Nathan grew impatient, saying, “Mom, stop ringing; she’s definitely not home.”
But Zoe stubbornly stood her ground. “Then I’ll wait here until she comes
back.”
Helpless, Aria rubbed her temples in frustration, walked out of her room, and opened the door.
Seeing her, Zoe lit up with joy. “Aria!”
“Is there something else you need from me, Mrs. Saxon?” Aria asked.
Hearing this title again made Zoe’s eyes widen slightly as she trembled.
Nathan glared at Aria as if ready to explode with anger. “Aria! Why didn’t you open the door earlier? Letting your mom wait so long? Are you sick or something?”
