But Matthew kept crying, “No! You're not my grandpa. You're the scariest monster of them all."

Just as Weldon was about to take Matthew away, the helicopter landed, and the cabin door opened.

A voice then emerged from the darkness behind them. "You're planning to take my son without asking me, Mr. Smith? If so, you might want to stop and think it over."

Hearing a voice he knew well, Weldon was taken aback.

Thomas was equally surprised.

Melissa, stunned, turned around in disbelief, only to see Marcus stepping out of the shadows, a small hammer in hand.

Weldon scoffed, "You think you can stop me with just that?"

Upon seeing Marcus, Matthew's spirits lifted, and he yelled, "Go, Daddy, beat up the monster!"

Marcus flashed Matthew a warm smile, and then turned to Melissa, who was tearfully gazing at him, as if scared he'd vanish any moment.

Marcus then made a beeline for the helicopter.

Before anyone could grasp what was happening, he was behind the pilot, pulling him from the cockpit and tossing him to the ground.

Weldon, fuming with anger, yelled, "You've got some nerve, Marcus!"

Discarding the hammer, Marcus dusted off his hands and retorted with a smirk, "I haven't even started on you. Why the outrage, Mr. Smith?

Seems like Edwin didn't give the Smith family enough of a lesson, making you think you could cross the Fowler family again."

Weldon retorted with a sneer, “But I've got Matthew here!"

“And he's my son!" Marcus hissed, standing his ground. “Are you sure you want to do this? Think you can just walk away? Your pilot is out cold; besides, even if you by some magic manage to leave the country, the moment you go, I'm having Thomas thrown in jail straight away.

The lawyers at the Fowler family's disposal aren't to be underestimated. Thomas might never see the outside of a prison cell again, and then I'll take over every Smith family business. By then, even if you train Matthew to be your heir, he'll have nothing to his name. In the end, all your efforts are wasted."

Hearing what Marcus said, Weldon was shocked.

Thomas seized the chance to convince him, saying, “Weldon, it's time to give this up!"

Weldon, however, wasn't ready to back down because he had placed a bet on it. Thomas then pressed, “Do you really want me to end up in jail, Weldon?"
