"Close to it," Jaylen replied, as his gaze lingered on his son.

His main goal was to sow seeds of doubt in Camila's and Isaac's minds, and then lead them to confirm.

That way, they wouldn't suspect him for their baby's missing.

He was in a good mood and even the sting of the punch on his face was barely noticeable.

To discover Annot's true identity, Forrest visited the cruise restaurant the following day.

He even intentionally asked about her.

He was aware that Annot would be working that day.

He even paid off the manager to have her wait on him.

Not wanting to lose her job, Annot complied with the manager's instructions.

Upon her arrival, the manager briefed her on the need to cater well to Forrest.

He even promised her a bonus if she performed well.

Annot was keen to earn the extra cash.

Last time she had been at odds with Forrest, but she was as docile as a donkey this time!

“Mr. Walters, would you Like me to fetch you some wine?" Annot mustered a forced smile, her facial features rigid and hostile.

It looked as though she was ready to pounce on Forrest and tear him to shreds at any moment!

Forrest was not blind.

Annot's clenched jaw was unmistakably in his vision.

Chuckles bubbled out of him.

“If it pains you so much, why did you return?"

"You wield influence and power. My job's at stake if I avoid you. Do I have a choice but to serve you, haughty man?"
