“I’m going to hang up now,” Renee told Leia with a sigh. “It’s time to pick up the kids.”
She then ended the call and headed straight to Monte Perry Kindergarten.
The streets in front of the kindergarten were always full of cars and crowded with people. All kinds of
luxury cars were lined up at the Monte Perry Kindergarten gates, making it look like some kind of car
exhibition was going on.
After a while, Renee finally found a parking spot. She parked her car and was about to get out when
Margaret suddenly called her.
“Hello?” Margaret’s voice was shaky with panic. “Miss Renee, are you here yet? Come quickly!
Something… something happened!”
“What happened?” Renee asked quickly, then said to Margaret soothingly,” Don’t panic… Speak
slowly.”
“I’m useless. Miss Renee! I deserve to die a thousand deaths! I was about to pick up the kids just now,
but the teacher told me that… that…” Margaret sounded as if she was about to burst into tears.
“The teacher told me,” she continued anxiously, “that someone had alreadye and picked them up!
I asked the teacher who it was, and they said… They said it was Adie and Abby’s daddy!”
“What?!” Renee’s mind went nk and her whole body went numb. ’Wait for me, I’ming there
now.”
Once she’d calmed herself, she got out of her car, and headed straight towards Margaret, who was
standing at the school gate. From afar, she could make out Margaret clutching a teacher’s arm
anxiously. It was obvious that she was so panicked that she couldn’t think straight.
“You… You should’ve known, Miss Strawberry, that Adie and Abby are raised by a single mother! They
only have their mommy, they never had a daddy! Some criminal must’ve kidnapped them!”
“How could you hand the kids over to the kidnapper just like that?” Margaret continued tearfully. “You
must take responsibility for this! You must go get the kids and return them to us!”
“Madam,” Miss Apple, another teacher, helplessly tried to reassure Margaret, “please calm down. The
man who came to pick the kids up today really was their father -1 heard them call him that myself.
Besides, that man is so powerful that he could easily shut this school down if he wanted, so we really
had no choice…”
“Who cares how powerful he was?! How can you just hand the kids over to him? What kind of school is
this, anyway? Is it a child trafficking kindergarten? I’m going to report it to the police and have them
drag you all to jail!” Margaret had no idea what to do, so she could only demand that Miss Apple return
the kids to her.
“Margaret!” Renee crossed the street and hurried over to Margaret tofort her. “Please, calm down.”
“You’re finally here, Miss Renee! Here they are! These are the people who handed the kids over to a
kidnapper! Hurry up and tell them to return the kids, Miss Renee! If we wait any longer I’m afraid the
kids will be in danger… M
“I know what to do, so leave it to me, okay? I’ll deal with this.”
Renee persuaded Margaret to let go of Miss Apple’s arm, then bowed deeply at the teacher and said in
an apologetic tone, “I’m so sorry, Miss Apple. Margaret here is the one who raised the twins ever since
they were born, so it’s natural that she panicked when she found out that someone else had taken
them away. Please forgive us if she said anything offensive to you. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
Miss Apple smiled hesitantly and exined, “Don’t worry about it, Miss Everheart. We know that any
parent would panic when their kids are missing. It’s perfectly understandable. Still, we must assure you
that we didn’t just hand the kids over to a random person. We only let the kids leave with the man
because they both called him Daddy. We really believe that the man can’t possibly be a criminal.”

Renee politely asked the teacher, “Could you tell me what the man looked like, Miss Apple?”
