Chapter 833 So Terrified of Him?

Alexander discreetly gave Elise a look before leaving with Jessamine. After they left, only Elise andthe three kids remained in the classroom.

Alexia was a little sad as she recalled how she had made a fool out of herself before Alexanderearlier, so she held Elise’s hand and whined, “Mommy, English is so difficult, and Math is differentfrom what I learned before...”

“It's alright. You're still young, and it will be fine after you get used to the program here,” Elisecomforted and turned to Irvin next to her. “Is that what happened to you too?”

“No.” Irvin wore a particularly innocent face as he said, “I figured that Alexia wouldn't have a veryhigh score. So, I deliberately left a few answers blank so we could be in the same class. Otherwise,Alexia won't be able to care for herself well if we're separated.”

“That's not true!” Alexia seemed peeved. “I just didn't understand the questions. I'm not an idiot!”"Okay, I'm the idiot, alright?” Irvin chuckled as he looked at her dotingly.

Alexia simply pulled a silly face in response. “Bleh!”

A helpless Elise said, “Let's go. It should be our turn once they're done.”

When they finished the paperwork, it was already 3.00PM, and Elise led the kids into the car beforetelling the driver to drop them home.

Their car happened to run into a few school buses at the school entrance. There seemed to be someevent going on, and the people from the buses had blocked the entire entry. So, they had no choicebut to stop and wait at the side for a moment.

Bored from waiting, the children started playing by themselves while Elise browsed on social media.She browsed through the trending news, which was basically some small gossip in theentertainment industry, but a topic attracted her attention.

There was an ingenious variety show; the guests on the show were neither highly popular norcapable celebrities, but the managers behind these people grouped them together, and throughseveral talent show-like phases, they would debut as a group of five.

And as an ace manager, Winona's name was high on the official list.

So Elise couldn't help but click into Winona's personal social media account. When she sawWinona's professional pictures, Winona looked absolutely dazzling and confident, like a bright,rising star and utterly different from her previous girl next door look.

While she was in awe at Winona for making so much progress in such a short period of time, shesuddenly heard Mimi crying beside her.

“What happened, Mimi? Don't cry..."

“Hush, Mimi. Don't cry...”

Everything happened so abruptly that Irvin and Alexia were flustered.

Elise hastily set her phone aside and embraced Mimi as she coaxed her gently, “Hush, sweetie. I'mhere, so don't be afraid, and don't cry.”

Unfortunately, that only made Mimi cry harder as she wailed and sobbed, “Papa, Mama, the badguy... boo-hoo...”

While she was absorbed in her despair, she slowly raised her hand and pointed outside the window,and her cries turned piercing when she looked in that direction.

Elise’s gaze immediately focused on who Mimi was pointing at; it was a man standing in front of theschool bus at the school entrance. The lanky man dressed in a suit was taking a group pictureflanked by people around him

As Elise had done a thorough investigation before she arrived, she could recognize just from oneglance that this was the acting chairman of Frazier Incorporated, Oliver Frazier, whose niece wasmissing but wouldn't provide a picture.

Initially, it was only a hunch, but judging from Mimi's reaction, Elise was very confident that herguess, whereby Mimi was of the Frazier Family, was indeed correct.

But if that's true, that makes Oliver Frazier Mimi's second uncle, Elise thought. Why is she so terrifiedat the sight of him?

Just then, that group of people was finished with their group photo and headed toward the school.“Close the windows!" Elise instructed the driver nervously as she covered Mimi's mouth.

“Yes, ma'am.”

The driver quickly rolled up the window and managed to close it before Oliver passed by, thusnarrowly shutting Mimi's cries from traveling out of the car and exposing her presence.

Even so, Mimi's cries were far from soft. Everyone in the car understood what Elise was trying toachieve. Hence, they were highly vigilant, not daring to make a move.

Fortunately, due to the ongoing activities, the atmosphere was rather boisterous, muffling the car'ssounds. So, Oliver didn’t notice anything out of the norm when he passed by.

When that group of people entered the school, Elise immediately ordered the driver to step on it,“Let's go!”

The driver slammed on the gas pedal and drove off. Only then did Elise breathe a sigh of relief andremove her hand from Mimi's lips.

Even though Mimi had already calmed down at this point, Elise didn't try to press her for answers.Instead, after they reached home, under the guise of a police officer, she sent a picture of Mimi toher possible brother, who had survived the accident and was currently living abroad.

That night, she received a reply from the other party. “Who are you? Why do you have a picture ofmy sister?’

Elise simply replied, “The Frazier Family is not as it seems. Make haste."

Right after she had sent the text, she received a call from Narissa.

"Oh, my god, Elise! What am I going to do? I-I... I think I'm going to meet the parents now!”

“Meet the parents?” Elise was intrigued as she leaned into the back of the chair while inquiringfurther, “With who? Jamie?”

“No, I'm with a reporter named Jayden. What do you think I should pay attention to? I'm so nervousnow!"

“Calm down and just be yourself. Anyone who likes you will accept you no matter how you are.”Elise shot down her worries. “You're an amazing person. His family will definitely like you if youmaintain your usual demeanor. Good luck!”

"Okay! Thanks, Elise!”

After Narissa hung up, Jayden returned to the car, and when he saw how nervous she seemed, heplaced his large hand over the back of her palm and reassured her, “Don't be afraid. My mother is avery nice person.”

She shrugged and replied stubbornly, “I'm not afraid at all.”

Jayden merely chuckled and said no more. Twenty minutes later, the car rolled into a relativelywealthy neighborhood and came to a stop in front of a double-story villa.

Jayden held her hand as he led her into the house and proclaimed happily, “Mom, I brought Narissahome!”

"Oh, she’s here? Where is she? Hurry, let me have a look!”

Before Narissa could meet her, she first heard her voice, and after that, she saw a plump womantrotting out of the kitchen.

The woman's round eyes lit up at the sight of her, and she grinned ear to ear as she kept wiping herhands on the apron. From one look, Narissa could tell she was a kind and hardworking woman.“How are you, Mrs. Quinn?” Narissa greeted, blushing slightly in embarrassment.

“I'm good. Hello.” Jayden's mother, Gladys, instantly snapped back to her senses and invited her inwarmly, “Here, come on in. Food will be ready soon. You must be tired after such a long journey,aren't you?”

“I'm fine.” Narissa had started a few steps toward the couch when she recalled the information shefound on the Internet, and she hurriedly offered her help. “Mrs. Quinn, is there anything I can do tohelp?”

"Oh, no.” Gladys was delighted that her son finally brought someone home, so how could she allowNarissa to help out? “You can just sit there and watch some TV for a while, or maybe Jayden cangive you a quick tour around the house. Just wait for the food to be ready. I don’t have any otherhobbies besides cooking, so don't fight me over this!” Finally, she turned to Jayden and orderedsternly, “Son, take good care of Narissa. Do you hear me?”
