    Joanne was different. Her light makeup was simple yet elegant. Although a little girl was with her, the


    girl was adorable. No wonder Jack had taken a special interest in her.


    Despite the early hours, Joanne was concerned that Tail might not be used to the food there and


    cooked her favorite seafood porridge. She stirred in sulent chunks of lobster and finished it off with


    a sprinkle of greens. The porridge looked good and tasted like heaven.


    Tail cheered and apuded, dering that her mother was the best cook in the world.


    But as the meal came to an end, Joanne realized that Jack had not yet returned with Ada.


    She was torn between calling Jack to inquire about their whereabouts or waiting for them to return


    when her phone suddenly rang.


    It was a text message from Ada.


    She was asked to bring some coats to a nearby hotel.


    Joanne was puzzled.


    Why would Ada be at a hotel instead ofing home?


    She tried calling the number back, but there was no answer.


    She then called Jack, but his phone went unanswered as well.


    With growing suspicion, Joanne gathered some coats and called for a driver to deliver them to the


    hotel.


    "This is the address. After you deliver the coats, call me and let me know what''s going on." Learning


    from the previous lesson, she stood at the side of the road and entrusted the driver with the task.


    The driver nodded. "Sure. I''ll let you know when I see Ms. Brown."


    "Thank you," Joanne replied, watching as the driver drove away.


    Tail followed her obediently. "Mama, didn''t Aunt Ada ask you to deliver the coats?"


    "I''m afraid this could be a trap."


    "Trap?" Tail''s confusion was evident.


    "A few years back, I received a text message, asking me to deliver something. Foolishly, I went along


    with it, only to find myself ensnared." Joanne''s voice was hushed, tinged with emotion. She shook her


    head, leading Tail to go back.

    But fate had other ns.


    Suddenly...


    The screech of tires pierced the air.


    A ck sedan skidded to a halt beside Joanne. The car door flew open, and a burly man in sunsses


    leaped out, grabbing her arm and yanking her toward the vehicle.


    "Mama! Don''t take my mama!" Tail''s eyes zed with fury, her voice cracking as she lunged at the


    man, sinking her teeth into the back of his hand.


    The man’s hand tensed, causing Tail''s cheeks to ache from the effort. His sweat left a foul taste in her


    mouth.


    "Tail, let go..." Joanne''s heart raced, lodged in her throat. She didn''t know who had sent these


    menacing figures, but her desperation was palpable. "Don''t hurt my daughter!"


    "If you''re so attached, you can bothe along," the leader sneered, scooping up Tail and shoving her


    into the car alongside her mother.


    The man at the head of the group carried Tail into the car too.


    The car door mmed shut. The entire process unfolded with ruthless efficiency, leaving no time for


    thought or intervention.


    By the time the bodyguards and the housekeeper realized what had happened, all that remained was a


    cloud of exhaust, dissipating into the air.
