Hearing that, Zachary's whole body turned stiff, and his expressions instantly changed. It was as if it was suddenly overcast with a gloomy layer. Grace was also shocked at how his emotions changed upon hearing what she said.

Her cousin had always been gentle, mature and steady, but at that moment, he was behaving in a completely opposite manner.

She was startled for a while and spoke again. "That little girl is named Maria Attwood. Her mother is Yvonne Attwood."

Almost in a flash, he stood up with his lips pursed together. He immediately asked her, "Yvonne Attwood?"

"Yes." Grace stood up as well.

Noticing how worked up Zachary was, Heinz deduced that he was probably related to Maria. It looked like she could really be his long-lost daughter.

"Here are some photos," Heinz took out his phone and showed Zachary some photos of Maria.

These photos were taken by him the night before.

He felt wonderful watching how the children enjoyed themselves so much, so he took these photos to look back on in the future.

Zachary's hands were nearly trembling when he took Heinz's phone. When he caught sight of the little girl's smile, he tensed up immediately. They looked so alike!

They really, really looked like each other.

Zachary's eyes narrowed sharply, and his whole body froze at that moment.

This little girl looked extremely similar to himself.

His heart surged non-stop after realizing it.

Grace and Heinz exchanged glances. She then sighed as she asked Heinz, "Since you took photos of Maria, did you take any photos of her mom as well?"

"No," Heinz shook his head. "If anyone caught me taking photos of a woman, it would be so embarrassing as they would surely misunderstand my intentions."

She rolled her eyes. "You should have taken some photos of her."

"Never mind." Heinz shook his head and said, "I don't have such habits, and these photos should suffice already. If Zachary wants to replace out more, he has to do it himself as there is only so much that we can do."

Although Grace felt that it was a pity, she still agreed with what he said. There was only so much that they could do about this.

"You guys mentioned that her mom is named Yvonne Attwood?" Zachary confirmed it with them, as if he was having a hard time believing it.

"Yes, her name is Yvonne," Grace answered. "She's a very beautiful woman with the elegance of women from Southland. Her skin is really fair, and her hair is pretty long and nice too. She has big eyes as well as a decent personality. At least it felt decent to me."

"Decent?" Zachary raised his eyebrows and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Grace was taken aback by his attitude. "Zachary, what are you trying to imply with that attitude of yours?"

"Nothing, where is that child?" He said in a deep tone, "I need to go see that child now."

"Now?" Grace was surprised. "Zachary, are you sure that she's..."

Before she could finish her question, he interrupted her, "She's my child."

Wow!

That was such a straightforward confirmation.

Her cousin was so domineering.

"Are you sure there aren't any possibilities for an error to occur?" Grace couldn't really believe it.

Zachary, however, was very firm with his stance. "This child is definitely mine."

She looked so much like him. Most importantly, she was the child of Yvonne Attwood, that bloody woman. He couldn't believe that she was hiding such a big secret from him.

D*mn it, Yvonne really crossed the line.

He wanted to get to her immediately.

However, when they drove to the kindergarten and got ready to see Maria, Miss Holland stopped them. "Maria left with her mom already. Madam Attwood said that she was bringing her child to go see a doctor."

"To the doctor?" Grace was shocked. "What for?"

Miss Holland responded, "She said it was to treat the chatterbox disease."

Everyone fell silent.

Grace found it strange since Yvonne already asked Maria to go to class earlier. Why would Yvonne suddenly leave with Maria right after she left?

That didn't make sense at all.

What exactly went wrong?

Grace recalled what happened carefully, but she still couldn't fathom why.

"That shouldn't be the case. She didn't look like she was going to bring Maria to the doctor immediately." Grace grabbed her phone and attempted to give Yvonne a phone call.

However, her phone was switched off, so all she could hear was a robotic sound, "The number you have dialed is unavailable."

Grace raised her eyes and saw Zachary's gloomy eyes.

Suddenly, it crossed her mind. "Could she have escaped? This morning, I was trying to figure out if Maria was related to you, so I briefly mentioned that my cousin is named Zachary Lowe. When she heard that, she instantly turned pale and nervous. However, I didn't expect her to escape in such a short time."

"I'll look her up," Zachary said quickly and left the kindergarten.

Grace then asked Miss Holland, "Did Maria take all her belongings as well?"

"No, her belongings are still in class." Miss Holland felt very confused and clueless. "What happened?"

"Nothing much." Grace merely smiled. "Well talk about it later on. Please keep me informed if

Maria comes back to the kindergarten later."

"Okay," Miss Holland nodded.

"Even if they only contacted you through a phone call, please update me about it as well."

Grace added on.

"Alright," Miss Holland nodded again.

After that, Grace left the kindergarten.

Outside, Zachary was already on the phone.

He sounded very serious, "Look up Yvonne Attwood. She should be a new employee in the Noble Group. She has a daughter named Maria Attwood who goes to the same kindergarten as Little Gary and Ernest."

On the other end, Jensen sounded dumbfounded. "Why do we have to investigate this?"

"Just quickly look her up," Zachary did not want to explain. "Do it as soon as possible."

"Got it." Jensen immediately replied, "I'll arrange for someone to work on this."

After he hung up the phone, Heinz said, "Jensen might not be efficient enough. I'm worried that Miss Attwood might have really escaped after replaceing out that you were related to Grace. In that case, well start checking on her as well. With both parties working on it, we might be able to locate them sooner."

"Okay," Zachary nodded. He looked very agitated and depressed at the same time. He took out his phone and got ready to arrange for more people to work on this.

Heinz also arranged for Lester to start investigating.

This way, almost three teams were working on trying to locate Yvonne and Maria Attwood.

"Send me Maria's photos," Zachary said to Heinz after he ended the call.

Heinz said, "I've already sent them over to you while you were on the phone just now."

"Thank you," Zachary said in a low and hoarse voice.

He never expected that a baby would be conceived on that single night they spent together.

He was one hundred percent sure that if Yvonne gave birth to that little girl, she must be his child.
