Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze

Chapter 510 The Exchange of Children

Xenon left after this. No one knew what happened after Xenon left, but when he returned in the evening, Xenon looked at his sleeping daughter, his eyes wet with tears. He quickly searched the room and soon found several listening devices and surveillance equipment. Xenon destroyed them immediately. "Xenon, what’s wrong?" Xenon's wife had not been sleeping soundly. She woke up when she heard footsteps and saw Xenon smashing the items. Xenon pulled his wife into a hug and choked out, "That bastard wants me to kill my elder brother. How could I possibly do that?" "What?" Xenon's wife was completely stunned. "Then what do we do?" Xenon released his wife and said quietly, "He won’t let my brother go; I can tell he deeply hates him. If the child swap is related to him, they will all be in danger. But that Jane is constantly watching me, and I haven't had a chance to tell them anything. Plus, he only gave me two days. If I fail to do it in two days, he will target you and the child." Xenon's wife's eyes immediately reddened. "I’m willing to die with you, but the child is too young. She just turned one month old and knows nothing. We…" "I know. I also can't bear for my own daughter to be harmed, so I plan to swap children again." Xenon’s words made Xenon's wife freeze slightly."What do you mean?" "A relative from a collateral branch of your uncle’s family gave birth to a girl, but the baby died at birth. I asked him to buy the child’s body. The person is waiting outside now. I have to switch out our daughter." As soon as Xenon finished speaking, Xenon's wife immediately became anxious. "No! Where are you going to send my daughter?" "Wherever she goes, she will be much safer than staying in the Stone family! I know you can’t bear it, and neither can I. But we don’t have much time. I destroyed the listening devices and surveillance here, and Jane will definitely be here soon. We must switch the child now." Xenon said this and reached to pick up little Yvonne. "No! Isn’t there any other way?" Xenon's wife cried, unable to speak clearly, holding her daughter tightly with both hands. A hint of sadness crossed Xenon’s eyes. "That masked man has great power; I can’t fight him. I am my brother’s only weakness. Honey, my brother is completely preoccupied with his wife’s mental breakdown right now. I must tell him about these things, including the fact that our little niece was switched. Since childhood, I have done whatever I wanted. He has never forced me. My brother has carried the burden of the family business. I have enjoyed the protection of the Stone family for so many years; now it is time for me to do something for the Stone family." Xenon picked up his daughter and quickly handed the child out the window. Someone was already waiting outside to receive her. "Remember, send her as far away as possible, preferably somewhere that has nothing to do with the Stone family!" Xenon’s words made the person nod quickly."Don’t worry, we have already contacted an orphanage and will secretly protect the young lady." The person turned and left after speaking. Xenon's wife instinctively wanted to rush after them, but Xenon placed a deceased child into her arms. "She is your daughter now! Listen to me now—we have to leave here immediately!" Xenon pulled Xenon's wife and quickly headed for the door. Just then, Jane suddenly appeared. "It’s so late, and it’s raining outside. Where are you going?" Jane had recently been using the excuse of caring for the child to bully Xenon's wife frequently. For the sake of her husband and daughter, Xenon's wife had endured it, which caused her whole body to inexplicably tremble when she saw Jane now. Xenon glanced at his wife and saw her clear fear of Jane. A burst of anger instantly rose in his heart. His wife, the madam of the Stone family, was being bullied like this by a woman who had come out of nowhere! Did she truly think he, Xenon, was a useless fool? "What are you? Do you not value your eyes? Where are you looking?" Xenon’s voice held a trace of sharpness, which surprised Jane. "You’re quite spirited today!" "Do you think I need to give you face just because you rely on that masked man? You should know, this is the Stone family! In the Stone family, it’s not your place to criticize my wife and child! Get out of the way!" Xenon said this and tried to leave, but Jane blocked him."I can’t stop you from going wherever you want, but you need to inform me. Otherwise, how should I answer if our boss asks? You shouldn’t put me in a difficult position, should you?"
