Chapter 370

Salma caught on quickly. “Did Penny’s son go missing?”

Penny had been in jail for abusing her daughter, Pattie, and had only been out for a couple of days.

The woman said, “Yes, he went missing in the morning. It’s been about two hours, and they still haven’t found him.”

Tavon, always eager to join a conversation, leaned in, “Whose kid went missing?”

Salma glanced at Pattie, who was playing on the slide about fifteen feet away, and said, “The child of the family who used to foster

Pattie.”

News of a missing child in the neighborhood naturally sparked discussions.

The neighborhood’s helpful old lady came over and said, “It’s all the mother’s fault. The kid’s still so young, but she took him to the poker house. She was so engrossed in her game, she didn’t notice when the child went missing.”

More people gathered around. “That woman is no good. I feel sorry for the kid. Who will bring a child to a poker game?”

“Exactly, it’s such a pity.”

“And it’s a boy. What a shame!”

“It’s been two hours. I’m afraid he’s not coming back.”

“I saw the kid’s father searching frantically around the neighborhood.”

Leo was devastated by his son’s disappearance. His son was his life’s purpose. Now he was missing, and Leo felt his world collapsing. The police came to take statements, asking about the circumstances when the child went missing.

Leo wasn’t home when the child went missing. He was out doing part–time jobs, as he hadn’t been able to work in a long time and the family was struggling.

Penny had just come out of jail and he was already doing part–time jobs. He had left the child with Penny. In just two days, the child had gone missing.

When the police questioned Penny, all she could do was cry. She couldn’t explain what had happened. She just kept repeating, “I don’t know. I was playing poker. I asked the poker house owner to watch him. I don’t know when he disappeared.”

The thought that his wife’s poker game caused their son’s disappearance enraged Leo. He grabbed a chair and hurled it at Penny. “Penny, where’s my son? I told you to take care of him. Can’t you stop playing poker? That’s our bloodline you’ve lost! Find my son!”

Leo was usually quiet and rarely lost his temper. His sudden outburst scared Penny. The police quickly intervened, promising to find their son as soon as possible.

Leo lost his mind with the loss of his son. He punched and kicked Penny. Penny’s screams echoed through the building, but no one intervened.

People felt that Penny deserved it, because she had abused Pattie in the past.

Leo’s rage wasn’t sated. He stormed into the kitchen and grabbed a kitchen knife. Penny ran for the door, screaming, “Murder! Help!”

She ran through the neighborhood with Leo chasing her. Her screams were echoing through the streets.

Adults hurriedly ushered their children home. Salma quickly took Pattie home, and Tavon followed.

Leo shouted after Penny, “I’ll show you, you bitch! I’ll chop off your poker–playing hands!”

In the end, Penny couldn’t outrun him. Leo caught up to her and slashed her arm with the knife.

Penny sat on the ground, clutching her bleeding arm and crying. She yelled at Leo, “Go after that Anastasia, not me, Leo! Our son’s disappearance isn’t my fault, It’s because Anastasia took Pattie away!”

Leo remembered the fortune teller’s words his son’s fate was tied to Pattie’s Anastasia had adopted Patile, and soon his son disappeared

Leo was extremely agitated. His chest was heaving, and his eyes were bloodshot and frightening as he held the knife.
