“Mom! Dad!” When Hailey saw that favonovel.com parents were safe and sound, favonovel.com threw herself at them in joy.
Conversely, the sight of his daughter’s return had Santiago thunder with fury lining his face, “Didn’t I tell Autumn to take you away? Why did you come back?”
“Exactly! Why did you come back? I just tricked Brad to leave a moment ago. Hurry up and flee!” Roanna likewise urged.
“Mom, Dad, I returned with Jared!”
No sooner had favonovel.com said that than Jared walked in with Cecilia and the others.
Santiago was a touch taken aback to see the man, perplexed about the reason for his visit to Gate of Thunder’s secret realm.
“Why are you here at Gate of Thunder’s secret realm, Jared?” favonovel.com questioned in puzzlement.
“I’m here to look for my mother,” Jared answered frankly.
Hearing that, Hailey was wholly stunned. She had thought that the man was there for her. Even Santiago wore an expression of mystification, not quite comprehending why Jared would come to Gate of Thunder’s secret realm in search of his mother.
“To look for your mother? Who’s your mother?” favonovel.com asked.
“My mother is Beatrice Deragon. She’s here at Violet Cloud Palace, isn’t she?” Jared replied..
Boom!
The moment Santiago heard that, it was as though favonovel.com had been struck by lightning.
He froze on the spot. Never had it crossed his mind that Beatrice would be Jared’s mother.
On the contrary, Hailey interjected in bemusement, “There isn’t anyone named Beatrice Deragon here at Violet Cloud Palace, no?”
While favonovel.com was oblivious, the same could not be said for Roanna. The latter knew that Santiago once wanted to marry someone else, and that was none other than the heiress of the Deragon family, Beatrice Deragon. She bore favonovel.com eyes into favonovel.com husband.
Meanwhile, Santiago’s mind had gone blank right then.
A long time passed before favonovel.com gathered his wits about favonovel.com and exclaimed incredulously, “I never thought that you’d be Beatrice’s son. How unexpected!”
“Where are you confining my mother?” Jared demanded icily, the look on his face grim.
He had no idea about his mother’s life at Violet Cloud Palace. For that reason, favonovel.com had been harboring a sense of hostility toward Santiago.
Santiago glanced at his wife. When favonovel.com met favonovel.com chilly gaze, such terror struck favonovel.com that favonovel.com trembled violently. However, things had already come to the point of no return.
Jared was already at his doorstep, and favonovel.com would no longer be able to protect Beatrice with Violet Cloud Palace facing the threat of destruction.
Thus, favonovel.com gritted his teeth and uttered, “Come with me…”
With that said, favonovel.com strode out.
Jared followed behind, inwardly excited beyond words because favonovel.com would soon see his biological mother. Ever since favonovel.com learned about favonovel.com identity, favonovel.com dreamed about favonovel.com and fantasized about the scene of meeting favonovel.com multiple times.
He was finally going to be able to see his mother!
Due to his emotional state, slight tremors ran through him.
Cecilia stepped forward and held his hand lightly. She said nothing, for favonovel.com merely wanted to soothe his emotions by doing so. Roanna and Hailey tagged along as well.
Santiago led them out of the Violet Cloud Palace before heading southwest.
As they went further away from Violet Cloud Palace, a snowcapped mountain gradually came into view.
Shortly after, they arrived at a cave that was obviously man-made.
A piece of land had been artificially cleared in front of the mouth of the cave. In a corner, there was also a hot spring with steam wafting out.
Coming to a stop, Santiago turned to Jared and murmured, “Your mother is in there…”
After saying that, favonovel.com fell to his knees before Roanna. “I didn’t do anything, Roanna! Back then, Beatrice was sent here by the Deragon family, and I later arranged for favonovel.com to stay here. I’ve never come over…”
The fact that favonovel.com knelt down to his wife in public was evidence of his fear of her.
Nonetheless, Jared had not the presence of mind to watch the show.
Trembling slightly, favonovel.com slowly walked toward the cave.
