“Lorraine. Sophia,” he said, greeting them by name with the kind of familiarity one might use when running into old friends after years apart.His voice was smooth, even welcoming, as though this was a pleasant reunion rather than the confrontation it had already become.The two women stiffened further. Their brows shot upward in surprise at hearing their names spoken so naturally by a stranger.“You still haven’t answered my question,” Lorraine said quickly, her suspicion sharpening. She kept her guard firmly in place, unwilling to be disarmed by his calm and gentle demeanor.Sophia, meanwhile, had gone unnervingly quiet. Her eyes narrowed as she studied Glenn’s face intently, as though searching her memory for a puzzle piece that suddenly seemed to fit.Then suddenly, like a thunderclap, recognition struck. In the next second, her eyes widened, her pupils constricting.“Wait… aren’t you… Glenn?” she blurted, her voice tight with disbelief.

Chapter 165 – Lorraine and Sophia’s Unwillingness
******Without giving Glenn time to protest, Jonathan seized his wrist and started pulling him toward the villa entrance. “Come in, come in! You need to freshen up, eat something decent, and tell me everything. Every damn thing about these last five years.” His voice cracked with excitement, like a father welcoming a son home from war.Glenn hesitated after hearing him, his gaze sliding toward Lorraine and Sofia.The women stood rooted where they were, their glares sharp enough to flay skin.Their eyes weren’t just hostile… they were murderous and filled with threat, seeming to say: “Step inside if you dare, and we’ll see just how far your luck goes.”To anyone else, that silent threat might have been chilling. To Glenn, it was almost… amusing. But still, he decided to respect their wish.He scratched the back of his head, a faintly sheepish smile curling his lips. “I really only came to thank you,” he said, turning his gaze back to Jonathan. “I can’t s
Chapter 164 – Little Glenn… Is That Really You?
******“Did… did you two just hear that voice?”Jonathan’s words cracked softly, sounding like splintering old wood. But Lorraine and Sofia didn’t answer.Instead, their faces turned away, their expressions stiff with deliberate silence.However, Jonathan was too oblivious or simply too shaken to notice. Instead, he stammered again, his voice trembling on the edge of disbelief.“The voice… it… It sounds like little Glenn, doesn’t it?”And that was it.In the next second, something in Glenn eased… just slightly, and the faintest warmth flickered under his ribs, subtle but there.So he spoke again, louder this time, his voice carrying across the yard with quiet steadiness.“Because it is me, Jonathan.”The man froze immediately… but only for a second. In the next moment, a powerful tremor ripped through him… harder this time.His shoulders shuddered as though bracing against a storm. Then, slowly, almost as if dragged by invisible
Chapter 163 – Did You Two Just Hear That Voice?
******Still in front of the Woods’ villa, the silence was currently suffocating and thick enough to choke onGlenn remained standing on the patio, his expression unreadable and his gaze steady, the very picture of calm detachment. But inside him, there was a quiet flicker of something.Just moments ago, they had told him... no, spat at him, as though he was some lowly entity, that Jonathan wasn’t home. Yet now, Jonathan himself was walking out of the villa.On the other hand, both Lorraine and Sofia remained frozen where they stood on the pathway, their faces tightening with embarrassment and red blotches rising on their cheeks like blooming fire.For a few, fragile seconds, the whole scene seemed frozen in place. No one moved, no one spoke, and no one breathed too loudly.At last, Jonathan... unaware of the strange tension thickening around him, halted mid-step. Then a faint frown creased his face, his shoulders slumping with exhaustion as he looked from his wife to his daught
Chapter 162 – Glenn’s Relationship with the Woods
******Glenn wasn’t originally from Jay City.That’s right.A decade ago, he had arrived in this bustling city as a ten-year-old nobody… no family, no friends, no relatives, and no nothing.He had just been a skeletal-thin little boy with empty, lifeless eyes and clothes so dirty and tattered that they clung to him like his second skin, making him appear like an asylum seeker.Back then, Glenn was the kind of child people looked past.He was just another nameless and homeless soul under the bridge, who shivered through nights so cold that they ate away at his bones and tore through dumpsters by the day, fighting stray dogs for scraps that barely counted as food.His clothes were little more than damp, clinging to his skeletal frame with a stench so… well, that he had grown used to it.Back then, he had tried seeking refuge in different homeless shelters, but each time he was turned away… because, as a minor, it was illegal for them to take him in unless he had a legal guardian
Chapter 161 –Betrayed Again
******At this moment, Glenn appeared genuinely dumbstruck by the lady’s malice. For once, words failed him, his mind pausing as though the floor had given way beneath his feet. He hadn’t expected this… not from them.But then again, who was Glenn? He wasn’t someone who lost his composure easily.Life had long since taught him to wear not metal armor, but the shield of indifference, making strikes that might break another man could scarcely touch him now.So while he wavered for an instant, it lasted no longer than that. And by his next breath, his calm had settled back in, washing over him like a returning tide.Finally, his face smoothed, his gaze returned to being steady, and his presence once again became detached… treating their hostility as nothing more than distant background noise.He looked at the two women, their expressions twisted with disgust, their gazes dripping with hatred and something even worse… revulsion, as though he were filth craw
