CHAPTER 405
Dione’s jaw dropped, rage burning as Bianca’s words hung in the air like a challenge. Of all the things she had thought could disrupt her plan, she hadn’t expected the little girl to be one of them.“Shut up!” Dione shrieked, pointing a trembling finger at Bianca. “You can’t give us money! You can’t even talk about tripling it!”Nyssa, Elara, and Thalia echoed her fury, yelling over one another, their voices sharp.“Silence, child!”“You don’t know what you’re saying!”“How are you even going to get the money?”Bianca’s small face remained steady, her eyes flashing with defiance.“I can,” she said simply. “My family is well-off. I can pay.”Dione’s lip curled in disbelief.“We know the Damon family is rich!” one of the kidnappers said cautiously, stepping slightly forward.Bianca tilted her head, voice calm and precise. “I’m not from the Damon family.”The room fell silent. A pause, then one of the men asked, suspicion lacing his tone, “Then… What family are you from? Isn’t your moth
CHAPTER 404
At the mention of two more children, all three women turned to Dione. When they had first looked, they’d seen the children but assumed Dione had, too. That was why they had said nothing—believing it was part of her plan. But now, realizing from her shock that she had only intended to take one child, their eyes widened in disbelief.One of them finally broke the silence, her voice low but sharp. “Dione… if you didn’t ask for the boys, then who are they? Why are they here?”The men exchanged uneasy glances before one stepped forward, scratching the back of his neck.“We were told to take the girl, just the girl. That was the order. But when we found her, she wasn’t alone. The boys were with her. If we’d left them, they would’ve raised the alarm. We had no ch
CHAPTER 403
Persis couldn’t believe what Tedmond had just said. Sit and wait? The more she thought about it, the more absurd it sounded. A child left in her care had been kidnapped, and she was supposed to sit back and act like nothing was wrong?She clenched her fists, her voice trembling but firm. “There’s no way I’m going to sit and wait. I need to do something too.”Tedmond’s sharp eyes narrowed on the screen. “Like what?”Persis met his gaze without flinching. “Help me track Bianca. And I’ll go there myself. Whoever took her did it to get to me—so I’ll handle it my way.”His expression hardened instantly. “Absolutely not.” His voice was like steel. “If they took Bianca to reach you, then you’re the target. Walking into their trap would be reckless.”Persis shook her head stubbornly. “If Bianca’s there, then I have to be there too. She’s under my care, Tedmond. You weren’t here—you left her with me. If I don’t take responsibility and do everything in my power to bring her back, I won’t feel l
CHAPTER 402
Hearing the question, Persis immediately thought it through. As far as she knew, Tedmond hadn’t made any enemies here who would go after Bianca. And since he wasn’t around, that could only mean Bianca had been targeted because of her. But did she even have enemies? None came to mind—until suddenly, Dione’s face flashed before her. Ever since her arrival at the party, Dione and her friends had been the ones trying to humiliate her.The realization hit her: it might be them. But why Bianca? They wanted her attention, not the little girl’s.‘If it’s them, I swear they’ll regret it,’ she thought.Forcing herself to stay calm, Persis turned back to the men. She straightened her shoulders and nodded.“I’m the fiancée of the Washington family’s heir. I was the one who brought Bianca here tonight. So if the kidnappers reach out…” Her voice faltered for a moment before she steadied it. “It will be to me.”Tedmond wasn’t here. She was the one exposed. Which meant if demands were made, she’d be
CHAPTER 401
Seeing the man ask about his son, Persis realized he must be the father of one of the missing kids. Concern was written all over his face, and his eyes darted around the hall as if he might spot his son at any moment.Persis couldn’t tell which family he belonged to. He had bright blond hair and light brown eyes, someone she hadn’t seen before—perhaps he was only here for the event.Before anyone could answer his question, another man stepped forward. This one had dark hair, but his features mirrored the blond man’s—the same face, the same build, only with different-colored hair.“My son is also missing,” he said, voice steady but strained. “Can you tell me where he is?”A third parent stepped forward, her tone urgent. “Alexander, tell us what’s happening. Don’t keep us in the dark.”Alexander raised a hand for calm, though his expression remained stern. He knew panic was inevitable, but they deserved the truth. Better that they heard it from him than whispered rumors.“Three children
CHAPTER 400
Persis frowned at the supervisor when she realized the children were nowhere to be found. Not only had the woman isolated them instead of making them apologize and make up with each other, but she had also failed to check on them afterward.From what Persis had seen so far, the supervisor was far too incompetent to be trusted with children.“Where are they?” Persis demanded, her voice sharp.The woman shifted nervously, wringing her hands. “—I kept them in that room. I thought they’d stay there like I instructed, but that didn’t seem to be the case.”Persis froze, her eyes widening in disbelief. “You kept them there?! Did you even check on them after you left them?”The woman shook her head, guilt washing over her features. She knew she had made a terrible mistake. Since leaving the children in that room, she had been busy with the others and hadn’t taken the time to check.Besides, that was the room she always used for stubborn kids—the one place she thought of as her “solution” when
