A black Maybach was parked at the back entrance of the orphanage, its lights off and engine idling.
Soon, a figure emerged from the back door, hurriedly approaching and entering the car.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Ms. Gillis," the woman apologized respectfully.
Sheryl sat in the car with an air of arrogance, and her legs crossed in a relaxed manner.

It was no trouble at all." Sheryl couldn't be bothered to even glance at the woman she deemed inferior.
Her expression remained cold as she spoke.
"By the way, have you looked into all the volunteers and the teachers at the orphanage like I asked?" "To have," the woman replied confidently.
"I've been here for about a decade.
It was a breeze." She pulled out a stack of documents from her bag and handed them over to Sheryl with both hands.
Taking the papers, Sheryl began to peruse them, her eyes narrowing as she scanned the details.
Suddenly, her eyes widened.
She pulled out a document with a photograph of a striking woman—Amber Altman, the woman Jameson had groomed as Alyssa's substitute.
"This woman...
is a volunteer at the orphanage?" "Yes, Ms. Gillis.
Ms. Altman has been volunteering at our orphanage for over two years.
She also donates to the orphanage annually, so she's well-regarded here." The woman noticed that Sheryl had become quite agitated.
Puzzled, she asked, "Ms. Gillis, are there...
