Chapter 2182
During bedtime, Serenity didn't think much of it when Jackie and Micah requested to sleep in one room; after all, they had been sleeping together in Fred’s room ever since he left. Micah also took the initiative to say that he wanted to comfort his sister.So, Serenity read them a few fairy tales and tucked them in bed before leaving the room. She hadn’t expected that they would open their eyes and begin to change once she left. Jackie started to pack her bag while Micah connected his phone to the TV in the room. Various programs started popping up on the large screen. After tapping something on his phone, the monitoring screen in the hotel’s surveillance room went dark. “What’s going on? Did someone hack the hotel's security system?”“Hurry up and fix it!” “Did a hacker blackmail us by demanding money?” “What should I do?! I can't fix it!”“What?! Didn't you say this security system is one of the best in the city?!”“Who the hell did this?!” It was a mess in the ho

The voice of Weston came through the phone, "What's the matter? Why are you suddenly calling me? Do you want to chat about the children?""Yes, I do want to talk about the children," Jackson replied calmly. "Did my son and daughter go to your house?""Don't tell me you lost your son and daughter?" Weston casually joked.But to his surprise, Jackson replied, "Yeah."*Cough cough*... A series of coughs came from the other end of the phone. The coughing only subsided after a while. "Your kids are missing?""Yes. If they come to you, please inform me immediately," Jackson requested."No problem. Do you want me to help you find them? This is Lanford, not Solaria. I have more connections here than you do," Weston offered, feeling obligated since Jackson had previously helped take care of his son."I would appreciate it," Jackson replied gratefully.And so, Weston and Jackson both leveraged their connections to conduct a search within Lanford. Unbeknownst to them, the two children wer

"Breached?" Weston quickly ran through a mental list of his business rivals, trying to figure out who might be targeting him. "So, when can we expect everything to go back to normal?" he asked his subordinate."It might take some time, but the backup power supply has already been activated. The mansion should regain power soon," the subordinate replied.True to his words, the lights in the mansion soon came back on. Weston pondered for a moment, then called Jackson. "Jackson, I remember your son is rather skilled with computers, right?" he asked.After all, during his previous investigation of the Valor family, he had come across mentions of Micah's expertise in computers. At that time, he hadn't thought much of it, believing Micah's skills were only good for a kid. But now... he had to reconsider his assessment.Weston then asked, "Tell me, how did your son and daughter manage to leave the hotel? Don't hotels have surveillance cameras? Didn't the security guards notice two childre

"I don’t care if it's old or if it's a girl's toy, it's still mine! No one has the right to take it away from me!" Fred roared like an angry lion cub. "Where's the doll?" It was the only thing he had brought with him from the Valor Residence. It was a gift from Jackie, and it was a priceless treasure to him!The maid was taken aback, her voice faltering as she replied, "It's... it's in the store room." Normally, items in the store room were useless items that the servants would store and sell to scrap collectors in bulk. It was a source of extra income for the servants.Fred dashed downstairs towards the store room, with the maid trailing closely behind. From the shadows, Jacqueline blinked her eyes.She had indeed seen Fred, but there was something different about him, a change she couldn't quite put into words. The way the maid respectfully addressed him as "Master Frederick" indicated that he was living a comfortable life here. Jacqueline suddenly felt hesitant to ask Fred to g

Jacqueline swiftly ran away, equipping her night vision goggles as she moved. The power in the mansion went out once more. However, with her night vision goggles, Jacqueline had no problem moving around and effortlessly made her way to the store room.Inside, the store room was engulfed in darkness. Fred was there, clutching the doll tightly in his hands. The maid who followed him there was grumbling, "The power has already gone out twice today. What the heck is going on? But the power will be restored soon, Master Frederick, so don't worry."Through her night vision goggles, Jacqueline stared blankly at the person she had been tirelessly searching for. Fred was right there, standing just a short distance away. If she walked up to him, she could reach out and touch him!"Who's there?" Fred's sudden question pierced the silence.His acute hearing, heightened by the darkness, allowed him to sense her presence."Huh? Is someone else here?" the maid asked, puzzled.Jacqueline felt

Jacqueline's words gushed out in a rapid stream, filled with apologies she had wanted to express to him for days. She told him that, ever since he left, she had been constantly thinking about him. She thought about him when she ate and when she slept. Even her favorite chocolate no longer tasted good.She rambled on incessantly, leaving the maid feeling overwhelmed.What is the girl even saying..."Me and Micah and Daddy and Mommy came to Lanford specifically to see you. Why didn't you come? I was so disappointed this afternoon that I almost cried!" Jacqueline pouted.Fred clenched his lips tightly. His father had mentioned that Jackie and her family were coming to Lanford and asked him if he wanted to see them. He did want to see Jackie, but... he was afraid that she would look at him like she's looking at a bad boy again, afraid that she would ask him to go back with her to apologize to Yanny.So he told his father that he didn't want to go and that he would rather attend his

Weston's eyes narrowed. Today, his mansion had experienced two power outages and a security system breach. When he came out of his room, he saw a bunch of servants lying on the floor surrounded by beans and scattered banknotes. It was complete chaos.Two children actually managed to cause so much chaos in the Stanton mansion. When people heard of this, they would surely have a hard time believing it."Fred, come here," Weston called out to his son.Fred hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn't move because Jackie was holding onto his hand tightly."Daddy, why didn't you tell me that the reason Jackie and her family came to Lanford to see me was because they already found out that I didn't push Yanny down the stairs on purpose, and they're here to apologize to me?" Fred asked, looking directly at his father.Weston simply shrugged with a nonchalant smile. "I forgot to mention it. But now you know, don't you?"He acted as if it was no big deal at all.Fred bit his lip."

The problem was, this girl was Jackson Valor's daughter. The Valor family was based in Solaria while the Stanton family was based in Lanford, so there wasn't much interaction between the two families, but the Stanton family wouldn't want to offend the Valor family if they could help it.Mia gave Weston a stern look. "That's enough. You're scaring the girl."Weston smiled without saying a word.Mia approached and comforted Jacqueline. "Alright, child, stop crying. Since you've come to apologize, I'm sure Fred will accept your apology. Your parents will come pick you up soon, so get ready to go back with them."Mia simply wanted to send the girl away as soon as possible.She tried to pull Jacqueline into a hug, but the little girl stubbornly clung to Fred and wouldn't let go, sticking to him like glue. Mia couldn't separate them.When she tried using a little more force, Jacqueline cried even louder, as if she would be separated from Fred forever. She screamed, "No, I don't want to
