Chapter 596
Ashton and Xandra were just pretending to be what we wanted them to be.
"Have you guys eaten before?" I asked tentatively.
Ashton handed the fried chicken to Xandra first, then turned to me and shook his head. "I've seen it on TV, but I've never tried it. The maid claims it's junk food, lacking in nutrition. It could impact our intellectual development."
I nodded and gently rubbed the heads of the two children with a heavy heart.
"Dad, Mom, they're monitoring us," Ashton exclaimed as he entered the house.
I cautiously scanned my surroundings, my senses on high alert. Was Genome Society keeping a close eye on us? Steven also looked around carefully.
Ashton sprinted to the TV, climbed up, and removed an extremely well-hidden surveillance camera from the ornaments above. I gazed at the camera in disbelief, then turned to Steven and asked, "When was this installed?"
This was Steven's own house. It couldn't have been placed there by the Lincoln family. It seemed clear that someone had been monitoring Steven for a long time. As anticipated, it felt like every move we made was under surveillance.
"And here too." Ashton hurried to the kitchen again, scanning the house from various angles in search of any hidden cameras. Steven's complexion didn't look very well, and his expression seemed strange,
I was a bit mad. "These people are really everywhere."
I controlled my frustration and carried Ashton in my arms. "How did you find these cameras?"
"They need to connect it to the home network," Ashton said in a low voice.
"Are there any other places?" I inquired. Ashton looked around and wanted to rush to Steven's and my bedroom.
"There's none in the bedroom!" Steven exclaimed. He gritted his teeth as he lifted Ashton. Ashton looked at Steven and asked innocently, "Dad, was it you who installed the cameras?"
Steven raised his hand in despair and rubbed his forehead. "Not all of them."
I narrowed my eyes and glared at Steven. "Did you also install a hidden camera? What are you trying to do?
Steven lowered his head guiltily. "I just... want to look at you."
If he were not at home, he would want to know what Stephanie was doing. I gritted my teeth and stepped hard on his foot. He dared not utter a word and could only gaze at me with a pitiful expression.
Steven followed me into the bedroom and secretly stared at Ashton with anger. "Am I truly your biological father? Why did you harm me..."
Ashton replied sternly, "In biological terms, you're my biological father."
Xandra snickered as she licked her greasy fingers. "Ashton, you've caused Daddy so much trouble."
As soon as I entered the bedroom, Steven grabbed my wrist and pressed me against the wall. He held me in his arms, acting coquettishly. "Stephie..."
I rolled my eyes. "Stop acting coquettishly."
"Steven!" Just as Steven was about to kiss me, a sharp shout from Joel echoed through the yard.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Steven gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "He'd better have something important to say."
"News and videos from the cruise ship have been leaked, sparking a massive public outcry. The public is demanding the truth, and the families of the victims are also seeking explanations. The truth about Genome Society's organ donation has been fully revealed to the public." Joel ran in, visibly excited.
However, Steven didn't consider this a cause for celebration. Instead, he believed it would not undermine Genome Society's foundation but rather make them more vigilant.
"Dayton's back, but Xandra, the actress, is missing," Joel added.
Steven and I were immediately on high alert. Someone had kidnapped Xandra. Did they believe they could take control of Dayton in that way?
