That evening in River City was bound to be turbulent.
After such an incident occurred, Jasper Thompson lost all interest in eating and quickly departed River City following his goodbye to Carter Hill.
Meanwhile, Carter Hill trudged home with heavy steps.
Upon arriving, Xavier Hill lounged on the sofa, munching snacks while gaming, appearing completely at ease.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Xavier asked without looking up.
Carter Hill glanced his way and mumbled quietly, "Mabel Sean got kidnapped. I have no clue who's behind it..."
Upon hearing this, Xavier couldn't suppress his laughter.
With a smug tone, he declared, "Dad, you'd never guess, right? I'm the one who did it!"
Carter's brow creased deeply. "You can't kid around about something like this."
Xavier quickly protested, "I'm serious! I warned you before—we needed to teach her a lesson!"
Carter, who had been seated on the couch, shot to his feet.
