Chapter 46
Mandy chimed in, “That’s right! Do you know who we are? If my Daddy finds out about you, he’ll make it so you’ll be jobless forever“.
Dora became more anxious by the minute. “Do you know who this child is? Do you know her identity?” she roared.
Suddenly, everything went silent.
Annie responded sarcastically, “Wow, who could she be? She couldn’t possibly be the child of the richest families in Luceras, namely, the Smith fami the Yale family, or the Graham family, could she? What a joke!”
The other mothers also laughed. “How ignorant! You lost your child, yet you’re blaming others?”
The mother of the girl who lied also snorted. “Miss, wait here. I want to call the police!”
Dora trembled in anger. She picked up her phone and called Louis.
She burst into tears the moment the call connected. “Mr. Yale! Lala’s gone missing! She was tricked and ran out of the indoor playground. I’m looking for her now, but I’m worried I can’t find her!”
“What?” Louis responded in shock.
“I just got my hands on the child, and now she’s lost?” he thought.
He quickly called Antonio. “Antonio, that child is missing. Dora said she took her to the indoor playground, but the child got tricked and ran out of the mall, and now she can’t be found. You’d better prepare yourself mentally.”
Antonio was at a loss for words.
“Prepare? Prepare for what? For the child’s disappearance?” he thought.
He responded in a stern voice, “Hurry go look for her!”
Laura was at a loss as she searched the streets.
“Ms. Quinn! Ms. Quinn! Where are you?” she shouted as she walked, not daring to stop despite being tired.
A lady watched her faltering steps from the shadows and approached her cautiously.
Laura looked around with tearful eyes. She was tired and wanted to rest for a while.
However, Dora was still in danger, so she couldn’t rest.
She continued to search aimlessly.
Then a kind–looking old lady dressed in shabby clothes came to her and asked, “Sweetie, why are you crying so badly? What happened?”
Laura was exhausted. She looked at the old lady and said, “Ms. Quinn is missing. She got taken away by bad people. Grandma, have you seen Ms. Quinn?”
The old lady’s eyes lit up. She nodded fervently. “Ms. Quinn, I’ve seen her! I saw her get taken into that alley by a bunch of men. Would you like to go with me to find her?”
Laura’s eyes brightened. “Really?”
The old lady nodded. “Yes. Come with me. If you don’t, she may be taken away!”
The old lady quickly headed into an alley, and Laura hurriedly followed.

Chapter 46
A Maybach car was parked across the alley.
Two bodyguards with sunglasses stood outside the car, looking around sharply.
They fixed their eyes on Laura.
She was fair–skinned and wearing expensive clothes, following behind a shabbily dressed old lady.
“What a mismatched grandmother granddaughter pair,” they thought.
They stared unconsciously.
Inside the car, a tough looking man in a black shirt held a cigarette and brushed his hair aside.
Louis sent a message in the group chat: [Laura is missing. She’s Lilian’s daughter. She got lost in Victorious Mall today. Surveillance cameras show that she ran to the east after leaving the mall. Help me look for her!]
