Chapter 269
After Fiona thought it over, she decided to end the topic and asked Victoria about the
problem with her amodation, “I’m staying at the ce where Bane had prepared
before this. Of course, I paid rent.”
She added thestment because she was worried that Fiona would get the wrong

idea. Sure enough, the news surprised Fiona. “Rent? Will he ept rent from you?”
“If he doesn’t ept it, then I won’t stay there.”
Fiona blinked at her in shock for a second before giggling as she replied, “I have to
hand it to you. There’s nothing he can do about it except to ept your rent.” Victoria
merely smiled andmented nothing more. “But aren’t you a little too guarded
against him? He’s really nice to you. Won’t you consider giving him a chance?”
“Fiona, it’s precisely because he’s so nice to me that I can’t be with him. Otherwise, I’ll
only hurt him instead of bringing him happiness.”
Fiona scratched her head. “Well, I don’t get what’s going on between the both of
you,
but it’s fine as long as you made the decision yourself.”
Time passed while they had small talk. Since it was getting ratherte, Victoria left with
the kids. Before she departed, Fiona asked, “Do you need me to babysit again
tomorrow?”
“It’s alright. I’m done with my stuff, and I can watch them myself. If you miss them,
“Sure, I’ll drop by for a visit when I’m free. Take care on your way home.”
“Say goodbye to Miss Fiona, kids.”
Then, Victoria left with her children, and thetter went for their shower after they
reached home, leaving her with some time to take a seat and check the videos of their
outing with Fiona.
2/7
Fiona had made a few videos, and Victoria watched each of them on the couch quietly.
Finally, she thought one of them wasn’t bad and wanted to upload it on TikTok, but
when she opened the app, she saw that there was already a new upload on her
ount. That was when she realized that it was probably Fiona who updated her post
using her ount.
When she tapped in to have a look at the video, she saw that it was the video of the
kids ying. Halfway through the video, Victoria’s heart ski pped a beat when Nicole
called Fiona ‘Miss Fiona’.
The way Nicole called Fiona… I guess no one will realize it, will they? A person who’s as
busy as him probably won’t browse through something like TikTok, Victoria thought,
feeling more assured by the second,
After she took a closer look, she saw that there were already more than tens of
thousands ofments. Judging from the situation, it was inappropriate to delete the
video now, so she decided to just leave it.
That evening, ric arrived in Jasea. Before the flightnded, he looked over the city
through the window. The city was sparkling with lights at night like the stars lighting up
the sky. This was another incredibly advanced city.
After theynded, Terrance dragged the luggage, following closely behind ric. “Mr.
Cadogan, I’ve received the information and it’s sent to me already.”
ric stopped in his tracks upon hearing the news. “Forward it to me.”
“Should I organize it first?”
ric turned him down, saying dispassionately, “There’s no need. Send it to me
directly.”
“You got it, Mr. Cadogan.”
This was the first time Terrance was sending him content that was never edited prior to
this, but he didn’t feel guilty at all, and neither was he worried that ric would
reprimand him when he couldn’t spot the main points. Terrance had a good grasp of
ric’s temper after all these years of working for him. Honestly, he knew ric’s
temper like the back of his hand, and right now, he reckoned that ric was in a rather
good mood.
Sure enough, ric opened the document and started reading when he hopped into
the car. Terrance would asionally sneak a look at ric along the way, but the man
was so engrossed that he didn’t have the interest to care about this nor reprimand
Terrance for his rudeness.
When they arrived at the hotel, ric had yet to finish reading the information, but he
kept away his phone and said in a low voice, “Check the location of this school.”
Then, he mentioned the name of a school and Terrance immediately searched for it on
the map. “I found it. It’s close to Miss Selwyn’s working ce.”
When ric leaned over for a look, Terrance immediately pointed at the
map.
“This is
where she has been working, and the school is located over here.”
ric looked at the map on the phone and was immediately reminded of the children’s
adorable faces and how they resembled him. So, he went silent for a few minutes
before looking away. “We’re going upstairs.”
The next day when Victoria brought the children to school, she didn’t notice that a car
was parked near the gates of the school. If she had taken a good look around the
school, she would have seen that the windows and the chassis of the car were all
ck.
As many cars were dropping off children, she didn’t even notice their existence and
watched her children walk to the school gates before saying goodbye to her.
As she had plenty of experience sending her kids off to school, she habitually crouched
down and felt two kisses on her cheeks. “Goodbye, Mommy.”
“Hurry and go in.” She shoved their small school bags gently, pushing them into the
school, and waited until they were inside before standing up and leaving.
When she passed by the ck sedan, she suddenly felt something and stopped in her
tracks, looking in the direction of the ck sedan but couldn’t see anything. There
seemed nothing odd with it under the bright sun, and it was merely parked here. She
pursed her red lips together as she thought, Am I imagining things?
Just a second ago when she walked past, she could feel someone watching her from
inside the vehicle, but everything seemed normal now. My kids… They should be safe,
right? Well, they should be safe because they’re in school, she thought firmly and left
very quickly aftering to a rational conclusion.
After she had left the spot, the window of the ck sedan rolled down and revealed a
handsome face behind it. Then, he stared at the street where she had just left with
deep, steady eyes as he pursed his lips tightly.
On the driver’s seat, Terrance couldn’t help but sigh. “Miss Selwyn is such an alert
person. We’re just sitting here but it seems like she could sense us. Thankfully she
didn’t notice us, but… Mr. Cadogan, why are you afraid of letting her find out?”
ric’s eyes drifted over him, looking at him as though he was an idiot again. “If she
finds out about me, will I still get to see the kids?”
With that, Terrance instantly understood the situation. “You’re right. If the children are
yours and she kept them from you, it means that she didn’t want you to find out about
them. But if she knows that you’ve found out about them, she’ll probably disappear with
the kids the first chance she gets. We can’t let that happen.”
Right after he finished speaking, ric opened the car door and stepped out, and
Terrance followed after him upon seeing that. ric with his good-looking features also
had a big, tall frame that carried an invisible, oppressive air about him, making heads
turn.
Just when he was about to enter the school, he was stopped by the security officer at
the gates. “Excuse me, may I ask who you are?”
Terrance hastily went forward to show his work ID. “I’m Levane and I have an
appointment with the school principal to take a look at the school today.”
The security officer took a look at his work ID, checked the memo handed to him this
morning by the management, and let them in after confirming their identities.
