In the end, Lucian called Jeffrey and requested a week’s leave for the children. With that out of the way, the three adults took the three children on a trip to Miralaea. Just as Jeffrey hung up the phone, a gentle- looking teacher entered the room.
“You’re here, Ms. Smith,” he greeted. “You understand the situation about the class, yes? Mr. Farwell’s children are in it, and the assistant teacher is on leave. I’m worried Ms. Ward won’t be able to manage the class alone, so you’ll be helping her out for now.”
Smiling, Ophelia Smith nodded. “I understand, Mr. Bauer. You don’t need to worry a thing.” Jeffrey scrutinized her and thought she looked pretty gentle. “I’m leaving them in your hands, so don’t mess things up.” “Should I greet them now?”
“They’ve just started their one-week leave. Once they’ve returned, Ms. Ward will introduce them. to you.” When Ophelia heard that, the look in her eyes. imperceptibly darkened for just a moment. “I see. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. now.”
Jeffrey told her a couple more things before allowing her to leave. The instant she stepped out of the office, her smile was replaced with a glower. She strode to a corner and called someone. The other person picked up the phone quickly.
“How did it go? Have you come in contact with them?” questioned Aubree in a grim voice. Apologetically, Ophelia answered, “I’ve just arrived at the kindergarten, and Mr. Bauer told me the children will only return after their one- week leave.”
“What?” Aubree growled unhappily. I can’t wait even a single second longer anymore, yet they’ll only return after a week? Ophelia explained in a whisper, “There’s nothing: I can do. I didn’t expect things would be so coincidental. Once they return, I’ll definitely…”
In response, Aubree pinched her palm to calm herself down. When she opened her mouth. again, serenity had returned to her voice. “It’s fine. They can’t run, anyway. In the meantime, familiarize yourself with the kindergarten. Contact me again once they return.”
She treated Ophelia rather politely because there weren’t any benefits binding the latter to her. Nodding, Ophelia assured, “I’ll do that the moment they return.”
Since Ophelia hadn’t gotten a chance to interact with the children, Aubree had nothing much. else to say and ended the call. The latter then glanced at her phone, which was displaying her social media app.
When Aubree saw that news about Roxanne had been flushed away by a staggering number of celebrity scandals, she scowled. I thought the reporters this morning could cause Roxanne some trouble and force her to give up. To my bloody surprise, Lucian took her away via a helicopter! I recognized it in the pictures the reporters were taking of her!
Also, it’s evident these celebrity scandals are due to Farwell Group’s intervention! I can’t believe how much Lucian did for that b*tch. What about me, huh? The only thing he did for me was take away my house! No, I refuse to let that b*tch live a comfortable life!
