"But that year, something happened. Sheldon Reid... was kidnapped. And along with him, another little boy was taken—his playmate. The boy was the son of his father's subordinate, and it was said he was already showing signs of developing a superpower."
Hearing this, Paige Summers's heart skipped a beat. 'Wendy Lowell is mentioning this boy for a reason; it's definitely not a coincidence.'
She had a sneaking suspicion.
"The kidnapper was one of his father's rivals. He had been utterly defeated in their conflict, and his lover had run off with another man, taking their child with her. So he was filled with resentment. He didn't kidnap them for ransom, but purely for revenge. The man beat and tortured Sheldon Reid and the other boy for days. When he saw they were on the brink of death, he threw them into a deep cellar and left them to die."
As she spoke, Wendy Lowell's pupils constricted slightly.
