Chapter 768 Let Me Down

right now!

As the words left Zander's mouth, a collective gasp swept through the lobby.

Whispers sparked like wildfire. Eyes widened. Curious glances darted from one face to another.

That boy must be connected to Collin!

Calling Collin a bad man? Could it mean Collin had an affair with the kid's mother?noveldrama

The rumors hung thick in the air-juicy, shocking, and impossible to ignore.

Just then, Dustin's confused voice cut through the buzz. "What's going on here?"

The crowd turned on him the second he stepped into view. A few quick voices piped up. "Mr. Wade! There's a

kid here who looks exactly like Mr. Riley!"

Dustin's brows shot up. A kid who looked like Collin?

He turned toward the source-and froze. It was the same little boy he saw at the hospital just yesterday.

Without missing a beat, a glint of determination flashed in Dustin's eyes. He marched straight toward the child, scooped him up, and slung him over his shoulder.

"Ah!" Zander yelped, caught off guard. Before he could wiggle free, Dustin was already striding away with him.

"Who are you? Let go of me! You're a bad guy! I'm calling the police!" Zander shouted, fear flashing in his chest, though he tried to sound brave.

The employees stood frozen, jaws slack, watching Dustin march off with the struggling boy.

"Now Collin can't deny it. I've got proof!" Dustin muttered, a crooked smile forming.

Fueled by triumph, he hauled Zander upstairs, skipping past knocks or greetings, and burst straight into

Collin's office.

"Collin! Look what I found!" he yelled, voice echoing off the walls.

Collin flinched at the sudden interruption. His expression darkened in annoyance.

He opened his mouth to scold Dustin, but stopped cold at the sound of the boy's angry cry. "Bad person! You're bad too! Put me down!"

Collin looked up, startled. A small child-four or five at most-was draped over Dustin's shoulder, squirming

furiously.

His frown deepened. "Dustin, are you out of your mind?"

"Just look," Dustin said, turning the boy so Collin could see his face.

For a moment, time seemed to freeze. Two faces hung in the air-one older and sharp, the other younger and soft. Yet the resemblance was undeniable.

Collin's breath caught. His eyes locked on the boy's face. A strange tightness curled in his chest.

He couldn't say a word.

Zander glared at them both, tiny fists clenched. "Bad people! You're both bad! You planned this together!" He began to thrash again, face red and flustered. "Let me down right now!"

Seeing the boy's distress, Collin rose to his feet. His conflicted gaze lingered on him. "Dustin, put him down." "I'm not letting him run off again. He's slipped away from me twice already," Dustin said firmly.

Then he leaned in slightly, voice low with victory. "Now, do you believe me, Collin? Look at him. He's the spitting image of you!"

Zander scrunched his face in disgust. "I do not look like that bad man! You're all big bullies! I'm calling the police!"
