Chapter 191

At Jordyn’s school, Celeste heard a sweet voice call out her name. “Ms. Rodriguez.”

Turning slightly, she saw Sylvia running toward her and saying, “Ms. Rodriguez, my mom asked me to bring you some buns last night, but you weren’t home, so I took them back.”

Just as Celeste was about to speak, Jordyn, unaware that Celeste had already moved out, huffed and said, “That’s not true. My mom was home last night.”

Sylvia scratched her head. “Huh? Really? Then why…”

Before Celeste could respond, Jordyn’s teacher called out to her, “Ms. Rodriguez.”

Celeste turned. “Ms. Alper.”

Donna gestured for Jordyn and Sylvia to head inside, saying she had something to discuss with Celeste.

Once the two children went in, Donna said, “Ms. Rodriguez, do you know about next week’s parent–child activity at the school?”

Celeste shook her head. “No.”

Jordyn didn’t mention it to her.

Donna hesitated, having already suspected this but still wanting to confirm it with her.
