Chapter 1077 Solitary Confinement

Callum glanced at Joseph, then closed his eyes to suppress his anger. "Don't tell me this is related to Xavia." It was already a crime that Kenneth had helped Xavia escape at the airport, and Callum would have punished Kenneth if it were not for Carolina's pleading. If Kenneth had made another mistake so soon… Kenneth did not think things through and stammered, "Father, I… I…" Enraged, Callum demanded, "You what?!" "Well…" Joseph chimed in light-heartedly and chuckled. "Kenneth gave you a grandson." Callum’s breath hitched and felt like slapping his rebellious son. "You met with Xavia?" Kenneth had promised to cut contact with Xavia, but he seemed to have forgotten his promise after just a few months. Kenneth quickly denied, "No, I didn't. I just gave her a fake ID and helped her leave Docwood to settle down in a small town and get ready for the delivery." "Get out of my sight!" Callum fumed with anger. "Go to the solitary confinement room now!" Being locked up in solitary confinement would cause a person to lose all their power. They would fall out of others' favor too. As he paled, Kenneth pleaded, "I know that I was wrong, but Xavia’s pregnant with my child, and the child is your grandson. She deserves the title of a wanted criminal, but the child is innocent. I became a soft-hearted fool. Just hit or scold me, but please don’t put me in solitary confinement." "Where's the child?" "Xavia has given birth and texted me the child's photo. Let me show you." Kenneth hurriedly turned on his phone and gave the phone to Callum, showing the latter the photo of a newborn child. The curled-up baby was chubby and red, and his eyes were closed. For some reason, the baby seemed quite pitiful. A parent’s love was universal. As a father, Callum was undoubtedly moved. After a pause, he asked, "Where’s the child now?" Kenneth looked stunned at this question. "I don't know. Xavia only sent me a photo." Chloe asked mockingly, "Did she say she'll raise the child alone and won't burden you?" This seemed considerate on Xavia’s part, but she could control the child's custody in this way. If Kenneth wanted to get close to the child, he had to gain her approval. "Yes, she did. How did you know?" Kenneth nodded but still did not see anything wrong with this. The others were at a loss for words. Not only did Kenneth help Xavia escape, but he also gave her the chance to threaten him at any time. Chloe looked at Kenneth with unspeakable jealousy. A child who grew up in a loving family was so innocent and naive. Callum, filled with wrath, pointed in the direction of the solitary confinement room. "Get in there!" * It was dinnertime when Chloe and Joseph left the palace. Craving for the food at a restaurant near the Whitman Group building, Chloe dragged Joseph there. But before having dinner, Joseph wanted to go up to the office to sign a document. "Please sign this, Mr. Joseph,” a woman said. She had on a dress that outlined her waist and curves. The hem of her dress reached just to her calves, making her look reserved but elegant. "Okay." Joseph accepted the pen she offered him and signed the paper. When the woman took back the document, her hair brushed past Joseph's neck. He paused but did not say anything. Chloe frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
