GoodReadIn the Bay Residence, Everett had cleared his schedule, canceling several meetings to spend some quality time with his newly discovered son.
It was quite a surprise to suddenly have a son, and in Langston’s presence, Everett couldn't help but feel a bit out of his element, tinged with a touch of awkwardness.
"What...would you like to eat?" he asked.
Langston looked at him and slumped onto the couch, "Didn't we just have lunch?" "Then, something to drink, or snacks? | can send someone to buy whatever you like." Everett was not particularly adept at catering to children, but he was trying his best to figure out what kids usually enjoy.

But before that, he had a question to ask, "Was it you who messed with the Lopez Corporation's software?" Langston didn't bother to conceal anything and simply nodded. "Because you had it coming.” "Did your mother tell you that I'm a jerk?" Everett was trying to glean some information about his son's mother from their conversation.
But Langston was no fool. He looked up at Everett and smirked.
"Don't treat me like a kid! | know what you're thinking, but you don't know what I'm thinking!" In the spacious living room, the two faces bearing a 99% resemblance locked eyes, their gazes meeting.
After a while, a hint of a smile finally appeared on Everett's handsome face.
"Who says | don't know? You're here for revenge, aren't you? You moved in here to gather evidence against me, right?" Everett wasn't born yesterday.
Although this kid was clever, he was still just that — a kid.
Especially the fact that he insisted on using Jeffrey's laptop and didn't resist coming home with him, it was clear what his intentions were.
What puzzled him was why the mother of his child harbored such resentment towards him.
His only love in life was Dorothy, and he was always a man of integrity. He was cautious even when dealing with women at work, s0 how could there be someone who hated him so much? "Correct!" Langston admitted, "I'm here to find your weaknesses. If you're scared, just kick me out!" Then he could go around telling everyone that his father, Everett, refused to acknowledge his son and kicked him out! That would certainly be a scandal for the Lopez Corporation! "This is your home; there's no kicking you out.” Not only did Everett not argue with him, but he also thought that if Langston could find any loopholes, it might be beneficial for the Lopez Corporation.

He had already made up his mind before coming here; in short, he wouldn't return home until he avenged his mother and sister.
A smile tugged at the corner of Everett's lips, just as he was about to reach out and ruffle his son's hair, his phone suddenly rang.
He presumed it was Kevin calling to provide work update at the usual time.
To his surprise, the caller ID revealed Jefferey! What could he want? Probably worried about how he was getting along with the kid.
Everett, in a rare good mood, answered Jeffrey's call.
However, Jefferey’s tone was urgent.
"Everett, are you still at the Bay Residence? | need to talk to you about something!" "I'm here, are you on your way?" "Yeah, wait for me! | need to talk to you about Heather..." Before Jeffrey could finish, there was a sudden loud noise on the other end of the line!
