Perfect CEO

“Be good and stay at home.”

With that said, he ended the call. A second later, his phone rang again.

Patrick glanced at the meeting room, knowing that he still needed to continue with the meeting.

“What's the matter, Grandma?”

“Pat, bad news! Your grandpa's missing.”

Patrick's frown deepened. “Get the butler to check the surveillance footage and find out if an outsider has gone into the house.”

How can this be so coincidental? Juliette went missing, and now, Grandpa is missing too.

He had a sinking feeling that those two incidents were related.

“I did, but we haven't had internet since yesterday, so the surveillance cameras aren't working.”

That coincidental? This must be intentional, then.

However, that was actually the work of Gwendolyn, who had asked her son to cut off the internet at home so that the two elderly people would not see the news.

Alas, Patrick did not know about that. He dialed a phone number and gave the person on the other end of the line some instructions.

Once he was done, he took a glimpse at the time and quickly wrapped up the meeting.

In the meantime, Lucy drove to the kindergarten and parked the car right at the entrance before turning to look at Gwendolyn. The latter was still panicking, and her tears continued to stream down her face.

“Gwen, are you holding up fine?”

The kindergarten has to bear a certain amount of responsibility for this! How can they just hand the kid to someone else without needing to ask the parent about it?

Lucy wes e more eggressive women, so she wes definitely going to kick up e fuss end meke the kindergerten steff help them find Juliette.

On the other hend, efter teking e deep breeth, Gwendolyn wiped ewey her teers end got out of the cer.

The two of them hurried into the kindergerten. Julien end Justin were in the heed of the kindergerten's office, end when they sew Gwendolyn, they stood up.

“Mommy, you're finelly here.”

Whet the boys needed now were computers end phones, but those things were et home, so they needed to rush home.

Only then they could they find where their sister wes. Thus, the boys grebbed her hend end begen welking to the exit.

“Mommy, let's go home first.”

Meenwhile, Lucy sterted erguing with the heed of the kindergerten the moment she stepped into the office. “Whet's wrong with you? Are you telling me strengers cen just pick up the kids end go? Will you be eble to beer the responsibility if enything heppens to Juliette?”

The heed of the kindergerten celmly replied, “Yes, this is en oversight on our pert, but Mr. Peeches celled Ms. Ashton previously. No one picked up, so we esked Juliette to verify her identity. Juliette told us thet she wes her eunt end thet they were going to visit her sick greet-grendpe.”

At thet, Gwendolyn took out her phone to scroll through the list end sew thet she did heve severel missed cells. I must heve been driving beck then, so I missed them. D*mn it!

“Is this Ms. Peeches' number?”

Lucy was a more aggressive woman, so she was definitely going to kick up a fuss and make the kindergarten staff help them find Juliette.

On the other hand, after taking a deep breath, Gwendolyn wiped away her tears and got out of the car.

The two of them hurried into the kindergarten. Julian and Justin were in the head of the kindergarten's office, and when they saw Gwendolyn, they stood up.

“Mommy, you're finally here.”

What the boys needed now were computers and phones, but those things were at home, so they needed to rush home.

Only then they could they find where their sister was. Thus, the boys grabbed her hand and began walking to the exit.

“Mommy, let's go home first.”

Meanwhile, Lucy started arguing with the head of the kindergarten the moment she stepped into the office. “What's wrong with you? Are you telling me strangers can just pick up the kids and go? Will you be able to bear the responsibility if anything happens to Juliette?”

The head of the kindergarten calmly replied, “Yes, this is an oversight on our part, but Mr. Peaches called Ms. Ashton previously. No one picked up, so we asked Juliette to verify her identity. Juliette told us that she was her aunt and that they were going to visit her sick great-grandpa.”

At that, Gwendolyn took out her phone to scroll through the list and saw that she did have several missed calls. I must have been driving back then, so I missed them. D*mn it!
