Chapter 1858: The Key to the Vault

Felix never expected that Fox would bluntly reveal this matter. Now Reese would undoubtedly be mentally devastated. After all, he had cherished the child for several years, only to find out that the child was not his own. It would be unbearable for any man.

Westbrook, being just a child, couldn't comprehend it. "Mom, what are you talking about? Dad is still Dad. How can you not recognize both Dad and Mom?" He approached Fox, trying to loosen the rope around Reese, but seeing that Fox refused to let go, he tried to do it himself. Unfortunately, his young and tender hands couldn't untie such a thick rope. He rubbed it forcefully, and his fingers turned red.

Reese was enraged, her eyes rolling back, almost fainting again. She had intended to forcefully push Westbrook away, but the child was innocent after all. Seeing Westbrook desperately trying to free himself, seeing the child she had raised, she couldn't help but feel some affection. In the end, she restrained herself.

At this moment, Seren finally emerged from the inner room.

He grabbed Westbrook by the collar, jerked him forcefully, and threw him to the ground.

Westbrook fell headfirst and cried out in pain, "Who are you? You evil person! I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Fox hurriedly ran forward and covered Westbrook's mouth, reprimanding him, "Don't say nonsense, be quiet. This is your biological father."

With his mouth covered, Westbrook couldn't shout, his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at his own mother. He didn't understand what his mother was saying or what chaos had unfolded in the house. Why was everything so chaotic? Being young, he couldn't comprehend.

Suddenly, he fiercely bit Fox's hand.

Fox cried out in pain and let go of her hand while Westbrook broke free. He rushed straight towards Seren, swinging his small fists and striking at Seren, shouting, "Bad person! I'll kill you, get out of here!"

Fox turned pale with fright, regretting her impulsive decision to reveal the truth. Westbrook was still young and couldn't accept that his father wasn't Reese. She looked at Seren with fear, afraid that Westbrook would offend him.

Her worries were not unfounded.

Indeed, Seren revealed a sinister smile filled with malice. He backhandedly struck Westbrook, hitting him with full force. The young Westbrook couldn't withstand such a heavy blow and immediately fainted, lying motionless on the ground.

"Useless. Look at the worthless son you gave me," Seren sneered, glaring at Fox as if his gaze were piercing daggers, leaving her unable to utter a word.

"Take him away," Seren ordered his men in black.

"Yes, Seren," the men in black promptly dragged the unconscious child away until they disappeared from sight.

It's often said that a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs, but Seren didn't spare even his own son, treating him with such cruelty and brutality. Everyone in the living room was stunned. Fox trembled with fear, cowering by a pillar. Bride dared not make a sound. Even Reese hadn't expected Seren to be so ruthless.

Felix couldn't help but clench his fists, seeing that even his own biological son was treated like this. Now, Vicki was in Seren's hands, and he couldn't imagine what she would endure. He was even more worried.

Luther caught a glimpse of Felix and gently tapped his shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

Seren's sharp gaze swept toward Felix, his voice sounding like a ghost, "Perfect timing. I was just thinking about how to capture all of you. Since you came here to meet your doom, I couldn't be more pleased. Felix, you've enjoyed everything under the name of the Saunders family. But it all originally belonged to me. You've wasted all these years, and now it's time for you to return it all to me."

Reese, listening from the side, sneered disdainfully, "Pah! If the Saunders family fell into the hands of your clan, it would've been ruined long ago. It was through my hard work that the Saunders family prospered and grew. Felix expanded his own business empire, which has nothing to do with the Saunders family. Why should it belong to you? You, the disgrace of the Saunders family, deserve to rot in jail until death."

Seren flew into a rage and kicked over Reese's chair, shouting, "You wretched old man! Without your ancestors' wealth, could you have become prosperous? Without the reputation of your ancestors, could you command so many people? All of this belongs to me. Today, I will take it all back."

As Reese was overturned, the living room erupted in commotion, but Seren's men, armed with guns, pointed them at the hostages, "Stop! What do you want? Speak up," Felix coldly spoke up.

"Hehe, the Saunders family has a massive vault stored in an overseas bank. Is the key in your possession?" Seren asked. He had asked everyone present and searched every corner, including when Fox opened the safe, only to find it empty. After searching the entire Saunders family, the only possibility left was that Felix had the key.

For him, retrieving the vault was the most crucial part of dismantling the Saunders family. It contained unimaginable wealth, worth billions, all safely laundered funds. That was his true goal in decimating the Saunders family.

Felix narrowed his eyes; indeed, the key was in his hands. He wondered how Seren had learned about the vault's existence. This secret vault was unknown even to Fox.

"Yes, it's in my possession. So what?" Felix said calmly.

Fox, listening on the side, had an unpleasant expression on her face. She angrily scolded Reese, "You disgusting old man! I served you faithfully, satisfied your needs for so many years, and yet you never treated me as your own. I've been a part of the Saunders family for so many years, and I didn't even know about the existence of the vault. Watching Johnie and me fighting for the position of the Saunders family heir, how interesting is that? In reality, you had decided long ago that Felix would be the heir to the Saunders family. Even if Westbrook is your son, he has no claim! You despicable old man, today is the day you die!"

Reese was barely conscious at this point, and he weakly muttered, "Felix, you must... even if I die, you must not... hand it over to him..."

After speaking, Reese's eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness again.

Seren coldly laughed, "If you don't hand it over, everyone here will die today."

Felix clenched his fists and asked, "Where is Vicki? Where is she? I want to see her! I won't hand over the key unless I see Vicki."

Seren tilted his head and laughed maniacally, "Pathetic. Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about a woman. Fine, I'll let you see her!" With that, Seren clapped his hands heavily.

Immediately, two men in black brought Vicki out from the inner room.
