True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 716

"Let's drive in," Butler Holland agreed. "We have already contacted the kindergarten beforehand so we can drive the car right in."

"We can't just drive in like this. We have a lot of cars and people with us. We have to replace a way." Alice saw those people looking around across the road and she was very worried. She was really nervous and thought of a way to confuse them.

"Butler Holland, call Mr. Maurice and let the children go to the back. We'll pick them up from there," Alice ordered.

She continued, "Then, arrange for a car to drive in from the front. We must pretend to pick them up from the front, too."

Butler Holland was sensible. He nodded immediately and responded, "I'll call him now."

Soon, he had made the necessary arrangements.

The first car took the lead in heading to the back door.

The last car drove in through the front gate.

The butler and Alice headed to the back together.

Their car quickly drove towards the back door, where Mr. Maurice was already waiting. As soon as he saw Butler Holland, he immediately went forward.

"Butler Holland, there are reporters at the front gate. Hurry up and take the children away. I have to remind you that they are very young and shouldn't get involved in such disputes. No matter what, you have to protect the children," Mr. Maurice said.

"Okay, thank you for your reminder," Alice replied politely.

"Thank you," Butler Holland thanked him.

"You're welcome. This is what we should do." Mr. Maurice smiled and ordered Miss Holland to bring the child over.

Little Gary and Ernest quickly got into the car.

The car started and drove back, followed by the bodyguards.

Little Gary immediately asked Alice, "Little Aunt, what happened? Why did all the teachers look at us strangely today? Why did you come to pick us up in the middle of the class?"

In the face of the smart little guy, a guilty conscience flashed across Alice's eyes. She didn't know how to tell the children.

"Don't think about it anymore. I just want to hear the truth." Little Gary's sharp eyes caught on to Alice's hesitation. "I know that you are trying to hide something from me. It seems like this is a difficult matter." "Yes," Alice replied. "Maybe it's more difficult than the fact that your parents haven't gotten married."

"What's going on?" Little Gary asked.

"I think it's better for your father to tell you about this." This time, Alice was very calm. "I can't tell you anything, so don't try to ask me."

"Why don't you want us to know?" Little Gary grew anxious when he heard her words. "Since it is a troublesome matter and you won't say anything, how would we know? How do we know how to defend ourselves against it?"

"Little Gary, stop pressing me." Alice looked at her nephew pleadingly. "I really don't know how to tell you."

"Mr. Butler, why don't you tell us?" Little Gary had no choice but to turn to Butler Holland.

Butler Holland replied, "You father must be very busy now. We don't want to cause more trouble. Now go back and have a good meal, take a nap and play. Don't get yourselves involved in this, okay?" Little Gary immediately frowned and his breathing was a little heavy. It seemed that he was a little angry.

"Little Aunt, Mr. Butler, we'll be worried if you hide it from us. Don't treat us like children all the time, okay?" Ernest said. "Today, in school, our teachers looked at us several times and wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought. Some of them even looked at us with disdain and whispered to each other, saying that we were illegitimate children."

Immediately, Alice's face fell and her eyes widened. Were the kindergarten teachers talking about Little Gary and Ernest after they saw the news?

That was probably what had happened. Otherwise, how could Ernest hear it?

Alice frowned and said to Ernest, "The teacher may just be gossiping. They may not be referring to you two. It's not a big deal. Don't think too much about it."

"The teacher was talking about us," Little Gary confirmed. "I heard it. I knew they said that we were illegitimate children. In actuality, Mommy did not get married. From this point of view, our parents are not in a marriage either. It is not wrong for them to say that."

"Little Gary!" Alice exclaimed. "Don't overthink things. It doesn't matter."

"Little Aunt, you don't have to comfort me," Little Gary answered. "I am not a child who can be brought down with just words. I know how to analyze things."

Alice did not dare to say anything. She looked at him and did not know what to say for a long while.

"Ernest is still immature." Little Gary looked at him. "He doesn't feel safe right now. He just thinks that Mommy has left and isn't by his side."

"I'm not worried about myself!" Ernest immediately retorted, "I'm worried about Mommy and Daddy."

"Alright. What you're worried about is Mommy and Heinz." Little Gary gazed at him.

Ernest returned his gaze.

The two looked at each other and Ernest suddenly said, "Obviously, it's you who doesn't feel safe and you wouldn't admit it."

Little Gary turned his face away, saying nothing.

Alice looked at Little Gary and comforted him. "Don't worry. Your father and mother are all doing fine. Don't worry."

"Little Aunt, isn't it wrong for you to say that?" Little Gary asked, "If they are fine, why didn't they come and pick us up?"

Alice was at a loss for words. "I wouldn't tell you even if there was indeed anything."

"Then something big must have happened." Little Gary had already sensed the severity of the matter. Even if the adults kept quiet, he could investigate it himself.

At the Jones Estate.

Heinz received a call.

"President, Jodie didn't return. She hadn't returned to the Lawson family home ever since she came out of the hospital last night," Lester's voice came from the phone. "I asked Auntie Susan, their housekeeper She said that after you left the hospital last night, Jodie also left."

"Auntie is still working with the Lawson family?" Heinz asked.

"Yes," Lester replied. "Mr. and Mrs. Lawson wouldn't let her go, and Auntie also follows the rules of a housekeeper. She gave them a few days to replace someone to replace her. Jodie didn't go back and her parents were anxious. Jodie only called and said that she wouldn't go back, but that she was in a very safe place."

"Where did Jodie stay all night?" Heinz asked again.

"Officer Charm found out that she went to Hart Villa District early in the morning, and stayed there for two hours before leaving. The surveillance camera didn't capture her. By the time they found her, it was already 3:30 am. She was at the bus stop opposite the Jones Estate," Lester reported.

"Where is she now?" Heinz asked in a deep voice.

"She is now at the front door of our company."

"Now?" Heinz's brows furrowed tightly and his gaze sharpened. "Lester, be careful. Don't let her enter the company. Also, be careful that there may be reporters around her."

"I know, everything has been arranged. These days, our company is under martial law and forty security people have been arranged to guard the company. The whole company is on alert," Lester answered. "Very good."

"Check for the time when Jodie disappeared from Hart Villa District, and what she was doing," Heinz continued.

"The results will be out soon." Lester was still sorting at the airport. "We have found the IP addresses, including several Internet sources. We have sent three emails with three different addresses."
