Baron knew Shauna well, but he couldn’t afford to be careless. He asked again, “Was anyone else with you when you prepared everything?”
Shauna didn’t understand why Baron was pressing, but she thought for a moment and answered honestly, “No one else. But while I was airing out the bedding, Finn came by to talk to me.”
“What did he want?”
Baron’s expression had already darkened.
Shauna felt a pang of sadness. It must’ve been something Finn did to upset Mr. Gunn. But she had always been loyal to him.
“He came to vent,” she said quietly. “He said he was worried you were giving up too much for Ms. Summers—that you’d end up with nothing in return.”
Baron’s face grew even colder.
“Besides complaining, what else did he do?”
“Nothing much. He sneezed all of a sudden and said he wasn’t feeling well. Asked me to find some cold medicine in the house.” This text is hosted at.net
The moment the words left her mouth, Shauna seemed to realize something.
“Mr. Gunn… did Finn do something? Does it have to do with Sean? Is he okay?”
She knew how much Baron treasured those two children. Now that he had entrusted her with everything related to their care, being called in like this could only mean something was wrong with Sean.
But if something had happened to Sean… who would be the prime suspect?
Shauna’s heart sank.
She, Finn, and Baron had grown up together in the slums.
They weren’t blood relatives, but their bond was even deeper than family.
If Finn had truly done something to hurt Sean, how devastated would Mr. Gunn be?
Baron didn’t answer her question. Instead, he tossed her the blanket.
Shauna’s eyes widened at the sight of the faint blue powder coating the fabric.
“This is cyan powder? If it touches the skin and finds an open wound, it seeps into the bloodstream and causes sepsis. A person dies in agony. Finn did this?”

Shauna’s entire body trembled.
No.

Impossible.
Finn respected Mr. Gunn more than anyone. How could he possibly harm his child?
She opened her mouth to defend him, but Baron spoke first.
“Sean didn’t have any open wounds. Under my protection, he wouldn’t. But he wanted to save his mother-so he asked me to run a skin compatibility test. That would require breaking the skin. And once that happens… the toxin gets in. Sean’s probably already been poisoned.”
Shauna instinctively didn’t want to believe it.
“No… Mr. Gunn, there has to be a misunderstanding. Finn respects you so much. He knows how much you love those kids. Why would he ever hurt Sean? He has no reason!”
Baron’s lips curled into a cold, sharp smile.
“What if this was to stop Sean from donating skin to Natalie?”
“What?”
Shauna froze.
“Does Finn have a grudge against Ms. Summers?”
Baron’s eyes narrowed. “That’s what I intend to find out.”
“I’ll investigate, Mr. Gunn. I’ll make sure you get answers. But what about Sean’s condition…?”
Shauna’s chest ached just thinking about it.
Baron had kept Sean and Susie isolated on a private island all these years to protect them. She never expected. that right after bringing them back, something like this would happen.
Baron waved her off. “I’ll handle this. Stay out of it for now. But keep eyes on Finn. Don’t spook him. I want to know if he leaves the house today.”
“Yes, sir.”
Shauna still felt awful, but she followed Baron’s orders without hesitation.
Baron thought of the message Yvonne had sent him.
If it turned out that Finn had delayed Phantom’s arrival to Natalie’s side… if he was the reason she almost burned to death…

Baron shut his eyes, his teeth sinking into his lower lip until the taste of blood filled his mouth.
All those years. That kind of brotherhood.
Please… don’t make me choose.
He repeated the silent plea to himself.
Shauna could see how pale he looked and knew he was hurting.

Baron always presented himself to the world as cold and ruthless, but Shauna understood-he had always treated her and Finn as his own flesh and blood.
If his most trusted friend had poisoned his son…
If that was true…
What would it do to him?
Shauna’s throat tightened.
“Mr. Gunn… maybe this isn’t what it looks like.”
“I know. That’s why I want evidence.”
Baron’s voice was ice-but steady,
