" It was really just an accident ? " Of course , Waylon knew what Baron was thinking . He lowered his voice . " The police were called at the time ; the insurance company was also involved .

Everything was ruled an accident - the driver was drunk . It all seemed reasonable enough . I didn't think much of it back then , but now that we know Natalie is alive , I can't help feeling my brother's family of three might have been silenced . " This was something he could only say to Baron ; if he'd said it to Ruby , she would have lost her mind .

Now , hearing his father suggest that Xenon's death might have had another layer of truth , Flynn's eyes widened .

" Dad , are you saying that when my sister was switched at birth , it could have been deliberate ? " Waylon glanced at his son , saying nothing , but his eyes gave away the answer , Flynn's face turned pale . " No way ! After mom got pregnant , they were so kind to us .

And the only ones with the chance to manipulate things were people closest to the Stone family , people they trusted . Xenon was the biggest suspect .

Especially considering that only two years later , Xenon's entire family had conveniently perished in an " accident . " The more one thought about it , the more chilling it seemed . Baron had been in the underworld long enough to have seen every dirty trick imaginable ; he showed no surprise . " Mr. Waylon , you should investigate this thoroughly . Even if those directly involved are dead , there are still clues to follow . That farmer couple back then may not have been as innocent as they looked ." Baron had struck right at the heart of it .

He could easily take on the investigation himself - and in fact , he had already sent people to do just that . But outwardly , he wanted to see how the Stone family treated Natalie . Her first foster parents had already hurt her badly ; even with her biological family , unless Baron was certain they truly loved her , he had no intention of letting go . Waylon nodded naturally at Baron's words . " I'll have people look into it right away ." Baron inclined his head , saying nothing further . He clearly had no intention of letting them see Natalie , Flynn grew anxious . " Mr.

Baron , can we see my sister ? " Baron checked the time , then said calmly , " Why don't you come back tomorrow ? This has hit her hard . She's exhausted and will probably sleep until morning .

If she accepts us , we'd like to bring her back to the Stone family . " The words had barely left his mouth when Baron's teacup shattered with a sharp crack in his hand .

Tea and leaves splashed out along with shards of glass , soaking his pale fingers ; yet somehow the sight sent a chill straight to the bone . Flynn's body went rigid . Waylon , though , held him back . He looked at Baron and said evenly , " Mr. Baron , whether you like it or not , Natalie is the Stone family's daughter . She's coming home ." " Heh . " Baron tossed aside the broken cup and gave Waylon a cool look . " Mr. Waylon - please . " Waylon didn't take offense ; he simply left with Flynn . Flynn's face was clouded with anger . 3/3
