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 .

“ 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 . ”

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 ? ”
