### Summary
The current chapter pivots on a critical misunderstanding that has dangerously escalated the confrontation between Isaac and his stepfather, Cole. During the standoff, Felix makes a statement—interpreted by readers as an accidental bluff or an oblivious boast—that perfectly mirrors the truth about Isaac's omega identity and Benjamin's paternity. This has convinced both Isaac and Cole that Felix has been fully aware of their shared past and secret son all along, throwing Isaac into a state of bewildered shock. The readership, however, is in unanimous agreement that Felix remains completely clueless, with comments solidifying his reputation as a lovable but dense "himbo" who "hit the mark by accident." This dramatic irony is a source of both intense frustration and humor for the audience, who lament that Felix's unintentional "revelation" has made Isaac's perilous situation significantly worse. The tension is further amplified by reader suspicion that Cole has drugged Isaac, deepening their revulsion for the predatory villain. The chapter's central conflict now hinges on this misinterpretation, with Isaac's safety hanging in the balance due to a truth that only the man who spoke it fails to comprehend.
