Chapter 597
Steven and I followed Eason to visit Dayton at the Sacco family's private hospital in Huma. The news of Dayton being the president of Crowdstar Group had spread like wildfire, leaving everyone in awe. Those who had once underestimated Dayton were now flattering the Sacco family.
"Look at you. You've always looked down on our son. He has become far more successful in starting his own business than you ever have, but he chose to keep it from you."
"Hmph! Don't feel arrogant just because you started a business secretly and achieved success. I'm your father and will always be your father." As we approached the ward, Steven and I were immediately met with the sound of a middle-aged man scolding Dayton. Dayton remained silent and seemed displeased.
We had heard that Dayton had a strained relationship with his parents. Due to his autistic traits, his family never truly gave him the attention he deserved. Instead, they focused all their efforts on nurturing his older brothers. As a result, Dayton's childhood was far from perfect.
"That's enough. Let him have a good rest. Even though you're his father, please be kind when requesting cooperation with Crowdstar Group," Sophia Allen, Dayton's mother, said with a smile. Her eyes were full of concern as she looked at Dayton at that moment.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
"I never imagined Dayton to be the most promising among our three children. If we had provided him with proper guidance, he would've achieved even greater success." Sophia could barely contain her pride.
Oliver Sacco, Dayton's father, snorted. "Hmph! Why did you keep it from the family for so long? Last month, we sought cooperation with Crowdstar Group for so long, and you actually turned it down. Why aren't you supporting your own family? Are you planning to help outsiders?"
Oliver was clearly blaming Dayton and was still angry, but he couldn't confront Dayton directly due to his current status.
Sophia swiftly interrupted Oliver, "Come on! What are you saying? Let's discuss it when Dayton is discharged from the hospital and he's back home. His injuries have not healed completely. He was kidnapped, and he's in shock."
Oliver snorted and remained silent. Dayton kept his head down, leaning against the bed. He waited until Oliver had finished speaking before he asked, "Someone has kidnapped Xandra. Dad, could you help with that?"
Oliver was clearly upset. "A mere celebrity? Why would you want to involve yourself with someone of such low standing? This is none of your concern."
Dayton clenched his hands tightly and said nothing more.
"Excuse me. I'm a police officer here to investigate the situation." Eason knocked on the door.
Oliver noticed the approaching outsiders, and his expression turned grim as he stood up to leave with Sophia. Steven and I exchanged a glance before following Eason into the ward.
Eason asked, "Dayton, how are you feeling? They've finally approved my visitation rights. It's truly difficult to see you now."
Dayton lowered his head, his expression filled with distress.
"As the president of Crowdstar Group- the youngest, richest man in Huma and also a genius-do you still have any troubles?" Eason asked with a smile.
Dayton unconsciously glanced at Steven and replied in a hushed tone, "Xandra has been abducted. It must be because of me."
They believed that if they controlled Xandra, they could manipulate Dayton.
"The police force has already initiated an investigation," Eason assured Dayton.
"The only people aware of my feelings toward Xandra are the ones on the cruise. Aside from that, I've never displayed any unusual emotions toward Xandra anywhere else," Dayton murmured. He was anxious about Xandra being mistreated because of him.
"Have the kidnappers contacted you?" I asked tentatively.
"My dad took away my phone." Dayton was slightly mad. Oliver had a strong control over Dayton.
"Don't worry, they'll find a way to contact you." I looked around. As the president of Crowdstar Group, I knew there were probably numerous surveillance cameras in his ward.
