Nathaniel gently placed Callum's hand back under the covers and quietly set the gift box containing the remote-controlled car on the bedside table.
Callum remained sound asleep, undisturbed by the movement.
Nathaniel affectionately patted Callum's head before his phone buzzed with a call from Tommy.
He immediately tucked the blanket around Callum and left the room as quietly as possible.
As soon as the call was connected, Tommy immediately reported, "Mr. Nicholls, the parents of the kids are high-ranking executives at Svelton's Top Global Enterprise. The father is a project manager, and the mother has shares in the group…"
Tommy detailed his findings, and Nathaniel listened intently, lost in thought.
The couple was merely an ordinary wealthy family. Logically, they would not dare to offend the Nicholls family.
It was not a secret that Nathaniel was demoted from his position as director of the Special Investigation Department and sent to a high-security prison. Most of Svelton's elite knew about it.
However, since he had taken control of the Nicholls family and established himself at the Nicholls Group, almost no one had dared mention the past.
Did the twins deliberately mention the matters to Callum, or was it just a slip of the tongue?
"Mr. Nicholls?" Tommy's voice broke through Nathaniel's thoughts.
Snapping back to the present, Nathaniel instructed, "Continue the investigation. Also, look into the twins' hospital situation. I want all available records—besides the footage from the kindergarten, get the ambulance logs, medical records, everything."
"Yes, Mr. Nicholls."
…
The next day, Callum took a day off from school.
Adora was supposed to train with her youth squad, but her classes were canceled for the day due to the heavy rain.
She arrived at the Nicholls residence with just a driver, navigating through the garden until she found Callum sitting alone under a tree, lost in thought.
"Beanie, what are you thinking about?"
She nudged Callum's small shoulder and took a seat beside him.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
