Kevin glanced at the child in the arms of the man dressed in black.
"True or not, Mr. Leopold will get to the bottom of it, so you'd better not be lying," he said before leaving with his entourage.
The nanny was shaking like a leaf, clutching at Megan's arm. "What do we do now? They have taken the child away. How on earth are we going to explain this to our boss?" Megan rolled her eyes in irritation. "What can we do? It's not like we could have stopped them. Call Jewel and tell her to get her butt back here, pronto." Even if Jewel had been there, she wouldn't stand a chance against Kevin and his crew. Kevin was a force to be reckoned with, or he wouldn't have made himself Mr. Leopold's right-hand man.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Jewel received the call, she rushed over immediately.
"Why would Mr. Leopold suddenly send someone to take the child away?" "How should | know?" Megan shrugged, her face a mask of indifference. After all, it wasn't her kid.
She had cleared the air with Kevin. Even when the paternity test results cout, Leopold wouldn't have a bone to pick with her.
Jewel felt like she was at death's door. She had only been gone for a short while, and already a nightmare had unfolded. How would she face the big boss? "Why didn't you stop them? Are you out of your mind?" Jewel snapped.
Megan replied coolly, "How could | stop them? | was unarmed, and we're talking about Kevin here, Leopold's top enforcer. No one can stand in his way. Besides, Leopold thinks the child is his, so he has taken him. The father wanting to see his child is only reasonable. The police wouldn't even get involved." Jewel said, "They must have taken the child to the Stirling family. You need to follow them and make sure the child is safe. If something happens to him, we're both dead meat." Megan scoffed. "You wantto head over to the Stirling family in the middle of the night? Are you kidding me? They won't even letthrough the gate." "You're the child's mother. Why wouldn't they let you in?" "Because they're the Stirling family. In Elysium, no one dares to cross the Stirling family," Megan retorted and then changed the subject. "Where did that child cfrom, anyway? What about his real parents?" Jewel answered dismissively, "I don't know the details. The higher-ups have arranged the child." Megan snorted. "So, you had a replacement ready before | gave birth, right? You had this all planned out in case you needed to swap my baby." Jewel glared at her. "It was just a precaution, okay? We couldn't be sure if you were having a boy or a girl until the baby was born. If you had a girl, where would we find a replacement in such a short time?" Megan's lips twitched. She couldn't believe her luck was so rotten that she'd be the one-in-a-million case where both ultrasound and blood tests were wrong.
"Now that they have taken the child away, all we can do is pray that Leopold doesn't insist on a paternity test." "You must go to the Stirling family tomorrow and find out what's happening with the child," Jewel ordered.
Megan huffed. "Fine. You cwith me. If you can getpast the threshold of the Stirling family, I'll be eternally grateful." In the dead of night, Tanya slept soundly.
Her bedroom door crept open silently, and a shadow slipped inside, reaching for the phone on the nightstand.

The ringtone of Tanya's phone woke her rudely the next day.
It was her assistant on the line.
"Ma'am, there's trouble. Mr. Leopold sent people to Azure Skies Villa and took the child last night." At these words, a sharp pang shot through Tanya's heart.
Hadn't the boss said he had secretly done a paternity test, and the child wasn't Leopold's? Why would Leopold send someone to take the child away? Maybe she was right from the beginning that there was no paternity test, just a ruse.
Taking the child away was the move to get the test done.
"Why am | only hearing about this now if it happened last night?" "I only found out this morning myself," the assistant replied.
