Chapter 1756
Moss’ smug response lit a fuse in Rodney.
He exclaimed in anger, “Moss! How can you Live with yourself after what you did to my son? You’re a monster, unworthy of the very air you breathe.
You ought to be ripped to pieces!”
Mitchel and Catalina, seeing the rage burning in Rodney’s eyes, tried to calm him down, fearing for his health.
But Rodney was consumed by fury.
He shoved them aside, his words a torrent of curses hurled at Moss through the phone.
Moss was a freak.
The more Rodney berated him, the more gleeful and cocky he became.
With a chuckle, Moss taunted, “You haven’t changed a bit after all these years.
But you’re old now, probably battling Alzheimer’s.
”
Rodney bellowed in rage, but Catalina’s fury surpassed even his.
She snapped, “Shut up, Moss! Who do you think you are, yelling at us like that?”
“Shut up? I think you’re the one who needs to shut up,” Moss retorted, unfazed.
“I outrank you in seniority.
How dare you raise your voice at me?”
He laughed arrogantly.
“The Chadwick family is supposed to be noble.
But where are your manners?”
His words, while seemingly directed at Catalina, also needled Rodney.
Rodney’s anger intensified, his weak body nearly unable to bear the intense emotion.
Mitchel, however, remained relatively composed.
He furrowed his brow and said, “Enough, Moss.novelbin
Why did you kidnap Melon? Is it money you’re after? If so, name your price, and I’ll pay you right away.
”
“You rich folks always jump to money.
” Moss clicked his tongue, clearly displeased.
“I’ve already told you, I took him because I wanted to see my grandson.
”
“Shut up!” Holden snapped, deeply frustrated by Moss referring to Melon as his grandson.
But Moss was defiant.
The more Holden tried to silence him, the more he wanted to reveal the truth.
Suddenly, he said, “Ariana, since I’ve acknowledged Melon as my grandson, you should call me Dad now.
”
Moss’ tone had turned serious.
“Have you lost your mind?” Ariana scoffed, her brow furrowing.
“Spencer is my father; you’re not! Don’t think you can spread lies just because my parents are gone.
”
Moss snorted dismissively and said, “You only think they are your parents.
In reality, you’re the child the Edwards family took in.
Your real mother is—”
“Enough! Holden interjected sharply.
His voice turned cold as he said, “Hand over the child, and I’ll spare your life.
”
But Moss paid Holden no mind.
Seeing this, Holden moved to end the call, but Ariana gripped the phone tightly.
She asked Moss to finish what he had been saying.
“I was trying to tell you everything, but Holden kept interrupting me,”
Moss grumbled.
“The woman you saw in the ice coffin in the lab that day? That’s your mother, Emilia.
Didn’t you notice the resemblance between you two when you saw her.
”
