Mr. CEO's Ex-Wife: A Cunning Comeback-Chapter 112 - : Worse Cooking Skills

Tony quickly deleted the video, afraid of what might happen.

Even though he removed it from his account, others had already reposted it. The news spread across the internet at an alarming speed. Things were out of control.

Panic set in. He felt like he was losing his mind. He decided to text Steve the truth. After sending the message, he threw away his SIM card and fled to his hometown.

When Daniel woke up, he found himself lying in a bed inside Philip's treatment room.

He glanced to the side and saw Chantelle resting her head by his bedside. She had fallen asleep while taking care of him.

Daniel felt a warmth spread through him. He reached out and gently caressed Chantelle's head. He wished this moment could last forever, that she would always stay by his side.

Just then, Ashton appeared at the door. Before he could speak, Daniel motioned for him to stay silent. He carefully got out of bed and covered Chantelle with a blanket.

He walked out of the treatment room and met Ashton in the lounge.

"What is it?" Daniel asked.

"Sir, we couldn't find Kate at the original location," Ashton admitted and his voice was filled with guilt. He and his men had searched everywhere but found nothing.

"Did she escape?" Daniel asked.

"I thought so at first, but then I found this," Ashton said, handing over a tablet.

Daniel tapped the screen and watched a video. It showed a woman being humiliated.

The footage was taken from the side, but the woman looked strikingly like Kate.

"You think this is Kate?" Daniel asked.

"Yes. Based on the background, it matches the location she was last seen. The chances are high," Ashton replied.

"Find the person in the video and uncover the truth. We must find Kate, dead or alive," Daniel ordered. He wanted her to pay for killing his grandfather.

"Yes, sir. I'll get on it right away. But your injuries..." Ashton hesitated.

Daniel's forehead was wrapped in bandages, and he had been unconscious all night.

"I'm fine. Where's Rai?" Daniel asked instead.

"Railer is upstairs. Dr. Collins examined him and confirmed that he's fine," Ashton replied.

"I see," Daniel said.

Seeing that Daniel had no other instructions, Ashton left to continue the investigation.

Daniel returned to the treatment room and found Chantelle still asleep. He carefully lifted her onto the bed and tucked her in. Then, he stepped into the elevator.

On the 88th floor of Silver Crest Global District, Philip was struggling to make breakfast for Kane.

Although he had a kitchen at home, he rarely cooked. He was lazy and had little skill in the kitchen. But he couldn't refuse Kane, especially after everything he had been through.

Daniel was still unconscious, and Kane needed some comfort.

Kane woke Philip up at 5 a.m., saying he was hungry. He wanted pancakes.

Philip thought it would be easy. He handed Kane a bag of chips to snack on while waiting.

Then, he put on an apron and searched for a tutorial on his phone. He quickly found one and started following the steps.

Kane slouched on the sofa and watched him from the open kitchen.

"Rai, be patient. I finally found a tutorial. Your pancakes will be ready soon!" Philip said.

"Okay! I believe in you, Uncle Philip!" Kane replied cheerfully.

Philip felt motivated. He was a scientist but this should be simple. He quickly gathered the ingredients: flour, eggs, and butter.

He searched the cabinets and saw a bowl similar to the one in the tutorial. He added the ingredients and mixed them.

Kane observed his every move. Philip's actions were odd, but he seemed to be managing.

Kane's stomach growled as he stared at the bag of chips on the table. He refused to eat them. He wanted pancakes. He remembered how his mother used to make them.

Once the ingredients were ready, it only took ten minutes before he could enjoy warm pancakes with chocolate.

As he reminisced, a burnt smell snapped him back to reality.

He was stunned.

Thick smoke poured from the induction stove. The pancakes he had been waiting for had turned into charcoal.

The induction stove's power supply shut off automatically. The range hood quickly cleared the smoke, but Philip was already coughing.

"Rai, get away from here..." he muttered.

He pulled out a mask and placed it over Kane's face before carrying him away from the kitchen.

Once the smoke cleared, Philip let out a sigh of relief and put Kane down.

"That was close. I thought it was going to catch fire!" he said.

"Uncle Philip, you seem pretty experienced at escaping the kitchen," Kane remarked, shrugging his shoulders.

"Thanks for the compliment. I only practice my cooking skills whenever I'm bored," Philip replied.

Kane was speechless. His dream of pancakes had vanished.

He would rather starve than eat that burnt mess. Lying on the sofa in defeat, he suddenly heard the elevator chime.

The doors opened, and Daniel's voice cut through the room.

"What's going on here?"

Kane's eyes lit up when he saw Daniel. He jumped off the sofa and ran toward him.

"Daddy, you're awake! Does your head still hurt?" he asked.

"Don't worry, Rai. My head is fine. What are you two doing here?" Daniel asked.

He glanced at the burnt pancakes in the pan, then at Philip, who had a guilty smile. It didn't take long for him to figure it out.

"Didn't I tell you not to touch anything in the kitchen? You're not born to be a chef," Daniel said.

"Hehe. It was an accident. I'll be a master chef one day!" Philip said.

"Sure. You better start practicing. Men who can't cook will never get married," Daniel replied.

"Who told you that nonsense? You can't cook either, yet you dare mock me!" Philip retorted, pursing his lips.

Daniel turned to Kane. "Rai, are you hungry? You want pancakes, right?"

"That's right! Daddy, I'm starving," Kane nodded eagerly.

"I'll make some for you, okay?" Daniel said.

"Hooray!" Kane cheered, clapping his hands.

Philip waved him off. "You? Making pancakes? Just order food delivery. Don't let the kid go hungry just to show off."

He didn't believe Daniel could cook.
