Chapter 3
Alan calmly picked up his phone.
The phone was a gift from Bruce and had an excellent anti–fall effect. Even after being slammed onto the ground, it was still intact with no scratches on
the screen.
Alan quickly swiped the screen with his hands, and the photo he had taken earlier was still there.
He quickly uploaded it online and searched…
Stellar Group, Joshua Melendez?
Stellar Group was a business empire under the Melendez family, and Joshua, the heir of the Melendez family, was a well–known figure in the business world. Since taking over as CEO, his decisive and resolute means had made Stellar Group flourish. From real estate, jewelry, hotels, film and television, entertainment, and medicine to catering service, Stellar Group had dabbled in any high–profit industry with its industries spread across domestic and
international markets.
Alan was surprised. He didn’t expect this man to have such an awesome background. Perhaps only Bruce could match him!
“Alan, where are you?” Christy suddenly realized that her son was missing, and she couldn’t help but yell anxiously.
“Mommy, I’m here!” Alan returned to Christy’s side from the crowd.
Christy was busy taking care of Clara, and she had no idea that Joshua had appeared at the airport and even met her son.
“You freaked me out, baby. Mommy thought you were lost…” Christy hugged Alan, her eyes misty with fear.
News of children being abducted due to their parents‘ carelessness was common.
These abducted children basically ended up in misery. Thus, Christy was afraid that her son would be abducted as well.
“Alan, where did you go just now?”
“I’m sorry, Mommy. I saw an interesting toy and got distracted. It won’t happen again… Alan apologized hastily with a guilty conscience when he saw how worried his mom was for him.
Christy felt guilty when she heard this. She gently stroked Alan’s head and said, “I’m sorry, sweetie. Mommy will work hard to save money and buy all the toys you want!”
“It’s okay, Mommy. When I grow up, I will also save money and take care of you. You don’t have to work so hard then!” Alan patted his chest and comforted his mom.
The little guy was so sensible, and Christy was amused by him.
“Christy! I finally found you!”
A girl ran toward them.
She had straight, black, and shoulder–length hair with bangs, wearing a tight black shirt, and a green coat.
If the attire were worn by a middle–aged woman, she would look very outdated. But the woman’s fit figure made the outfit look free–spirited and cool.
“Victoria!” The two women hugged warmly.
The girl was Christy’s bestie, Victoria Bright, who came to pick them up.
Christy didn’t want the Osborn family to know about her children, and Victoria was her only friend. Christy had to stay at Victoria’s house with her two children temporarily
“Alan, Clara, say hello to Victoria!” Christy smiled.
“Miss Bright, it’s very lovely to meet you! Hope our stay at your place won’t trouble you!” The two little ones greeted Victoria politely with a sweet voice
on their own initiative.
Hearing that, Victoria said with a smile, “Good kids, but I’m your mom’s best friend. You can just call me by my name!”
“Even though you are our mom’s friend, it’s the first time we have met each other. We just feel like it’s polite to address you like this,” Alan explained seriously
Victoria was surprised when she heard this.
Christy broke the ice and said, “Kids are always straightforward. Please don’t mind it!”
“He does make a point.” Victoria replied, “By the way, your son is eloquent!”
Victoria drove the three of them to her residence.
She lived on the top floor of the building, where she had bought and merged three units into one huge apartment with two living rooms and six bedrooms.
var luxurious, with tiles, wardrobes, and chandeliers from well–known brands that make the house sparkle.

Chapter 3
Christy was so surprised that her mouth opened wide! She never thought that her good friend could be so wealthy and live in such a luxurious
mansion.
The two little ones were satisfied with their new home, and they ran around excitedly.
After dinner, the children went to bed early, and Christy went to Victoria’s room.
“Christy, what happened to you all these years? Can you tell me?”
Victoria had been waiting for Christy. She had too many questions over the years.
Christy sighed and recounted what had happened on the Starry Dreams Cruise six years ago…
After listening to Christy’s story, Victoria remained unsettled for a long time. “Honey, do you know who that bad man was? Do you remember what he
looked like?”
“There was no light in the room that night, and I didn’t see his face. I don’t know who he is, and I don’t want to know…” Christy shook her head with lingering fear.
“He wanted to kill me back then, and I think he doesn’t want the two children to live until now. But since I couldn’t see him clearly, he certainly couldn’t see me. Besides, he was drunk.”
Victoria was boiling with anger after hearing this. “My God! Not only did he insult you, but he also tried to kill you! If I replace out who he is, I will surely send him to jail!”
“Honey, forget it. I don’t want to mention the past again. I just want to bring the two children up…” Christy forced a smile.
“Do you know how difficult it is to be a single parent? You are still young. Don’t you feel regretful?” Victoria asked.
“I know, but I feel happy. Alan and Clara are the best gifts for me. They are my little angels. As long as I have them by my side, I’m not afraid of any hardship!” Christy said firmly
Victoria looked at Christy with admiration and pity.
Christy had always been timid and introverted since she was little. She used to be bullied by her classmates at school and was laughed at for being parentless, but she endured it all
It was hard to imagine how much hardship she had gone through over the years. Her small physique contained an infinite amount of energy.
“Christy. I admire your courage! We’re best friends, and I will support whatever you want to do!” Victoria said firmly.
Alan was standing outside the door.
It turned out that he wasn’t sleeping at all!
He heard every word that his mom said to Victoria!
It was the first time he had heard about his dad from his mom.
He originally thought that his dad had abandoned them because he didn’t like his mom.
He never expected that his dad was even more despicable than he had imagined!
At the moment, Alan’s eyes, which usually sparkled with bright lights, were burning with intense anger!
Upon hearing the noise inside and knowing that his mom would soon come out of Victoria’s room, Alan quickly returned to his room, lay on the bed, and pretended to sleep.
