Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 137 I Have a Daddy

As soon as Brenda and the children left, Sadie ran to the classroom and frantically began a floor-to-ceiling search...

Having found nothing in the classroom, she continued her search in the playground, the school bus, and even the restroom, leaving no corner unchecked.

After searching everywhere, her clothes were covered in dirt and grime. She looked like she was wearing old rags full of dust and stains.

As darkness descended, the school's teachers and staff began to leave one by one.

Mr. Brooks approached, "Ma'am, why don't you head home for now? I'll keep looking when I come to work tomorrow, and I've sent out a notice. If someone replaces that bracelet, I'm certain they will bring it to me."

"I would like to keep looking a bit longer," replied Sadie, as she sifted through a trashcan. "Mr. Brooks, please don't worry about me, I will leave by eight o'clock."

"We've already checked these places though..." Mr. Brooks wanted to persuade her, but seeing her determination, he realized it would be futile, "I'll be going then. At least take this flashlight then."

"Thank you so much." Sadie quickly took the flashlight. "This will be a great help."

Mr. Brooks turned to leave and bumped into Miss Bell at the door, she too was about to leave, and he sighed softly, "It's such a shame..."

"It's never easy for a woman raising three kids alone," Miss Bell couldn't help but comment, "The children's father is nowhere to be found, so irresponsible!"

"It must be a single-parent family..."

"Today, Billy's mom was scolding those kids non-stop, saying that they stole because they were born without a father's care. I couldn't stand listening and told her not to say such things. In response, she yelled at me and even threatened to fire me. Such nasty behavior!"

"That lady is notoriously arrogant. Safest not to provoke her."

"It was Billy himself who gave the bracelet to Mia, and now his mother wants to accuse her of theft? That's just unreasonable."

"There's nothing that can be done, legally speaking. Children cannot give such gifts, especially something so valuable. So, in this case, they are completely within their legal right!"

"I understand, which is why I dare not speak up. But that lady shouldn't be cursing at the child like that-calling her an illegitimate child, a mongrel. Mia was shaking she was so petrified. It breaks my heart..."

"It's indeed malicious, and sneaky too. And she wouldn't dare to curse when Mia's mother is around!"

"Yes, it's terrifying to have such parents in our school. I pray that nothing happens with Billy in my class, or I'm done for!"

"Not just you; the whole kindergarten would be done for..."

"Such bad luck to encounter this family!"

The teachers' voices were low, but Sadie heard them in the silent night.

Her hands, clutching the flashlight, shook with fierce rage...

She knew the White family all too well, both mother and daughter were vicious and sly, but she hadn't realized they could be this disgusting.

To use such vile language to hurt her child while she wasn't there!

Suddenly, Brenda called. Sadie took a deep breath to compose herself before answering, "Brenda."

"Miss, are you still at the kindergarten?"

"Yes, I'm looking for the bracelet. What's wrong..."

"Mia has a fever..."

"What? I'll be right there." Sadie caught a taxi and rushed home.

Mia was in bed, feverish, her face as red as fire.

Brenda was wiping her down with a wet towel.

Noah was applying a cold pack to Mia's forehead while taking her temperature.

Nathan was spoon-feeding Mia water, gently dabbing her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Mia, Mia, Mommy's here." Sadie touched Mia's forehead, which was alarmingly hot.

"Mommy..." Mia murmured in a haze, "Mommy, I have a daddy, right? I'm not illegitimate, not..." Hearing this, tears streamed down Sadie's face...
