Chapter 631 Otto’s Greatest Pride Was Being Cyrus’ Child
Joseph lowered his gaze and noticed Chloe’s reddened eyes. She resembled a small rabbit, her eyes glistened with
tears, a few shimmering droplets clinging to her curly lashes. It was a sight that would soften any man’s heart and
ignite a strong desire to comfort her.
“Why are you crying?” He hurriedly wiped away her tears, a deep distress evident in his expression. He could not
fathom what could have caused her to shed tears. He had not mistreated her. What could be the reason behind her
sorrow?
“Don’t touch me.” Chloe slapped his hand away. She hastily wiped her tears and adamantly refused to acknowledge
him.
Joseph sighed. His hand hung in the air for a moment before gently patting her back,
attempting to offer solace. Slowly, Chloe regained control of her emotions and the tears

she succumbed to sleep. Joseph remained by her side, eventually dozing off himself.
Before long, Vince called to report that Vanya refused to cooperate. Joseph got up and went outside to answer the
call. “Gather a few men and bring Vanya to the docks. I’ll join you shortly.”
Vince hesitated. “Sir, are you really going to feed her to the fish? She’s so skinny that there’s hardly any flesh on
her bones. Fish don’t eat bones, you know?”
“You talk too much.”
Vince replied, “Okay, sir. See you soon.”
Joseph hung up and retrieved Otto’s contact details. He composed a brief message and hit the send button. Then,
he got into his car and headed to the docks.
As soon as Otto received the message, he immediately verified its authenticity with Cyrus. He remained stunned for
a long while, finding it difficult to believe the words Cyrus had conveyed. On the way to the docks, he video-called
Xavia and unleashed his frustration. “Why didn’t you do anything to save Vanya?!”
Xavia appeared aggrieved and sulky, “I had no idea where they were keeping her, so how could I possibly save her?
It’s not easy when Joe is always watching our every move.”
“You’re useless shit! Why do I even expect anything from you?!” After trying to seduce Joseph for so long, the little
progress she made ended up with her getting pregnant with someone else.
“If you’re so capable, why don’t you save her?”
“Vanya has been assisting you with various operations so that your identity is kept hidden.
You’re the most suitable person to rescue her!” Otto exclaimed, his frustration mounting. “If we wait until I meet up
with Joseph, he’ll have the upper hand. How the fuck are we supposed to save her then?!”
Xavia frowned. “I did have a plan, but I didn’t anticipate Joe to act so quickly. Find a way to stall him, and I’ll quickly
figure out where Vanya is being held.”
“It’s already too late.”

“Joseph 300 million in exchange for Vanya. My father would never agree to that kind of money!” Otto’s anger and
grief surged within him. “I’m only going there to collect Vanya’s body!”
Although he claimed it was to collect her body, his true intention was to confirm with his own eyes that Vanya was
genuinely dead and incapable of revealing Duskfall’s secrets to Joseph.
Xavia stood there in stunned silence. “Are you just going to let Vanya die, Mr. Otto?”
“It’s not a matter of letting her die. She holds no further value and there’s no need to save her. “Three hundred
million… That’s a sum that even Briarlake can’t earn in a year.”
A chill ran through Xavia as she processed Otto’s words. “Are you saying that if any of us loses our value, we could
meet the same fate as Vanya?”
“Don’t compare me to you. Our positions are different.”
For over twenty years, Otto’s greatest pride was being Cyrus’ child. He firmly believed that his father would never
treat him the same way he treated Vanya. No, that would never happen.
Otto and Joseph arrived almost simultaneously at Port Nazure.
