Chapter 833 So Terrified of Him?
Alexander discreetly gave Elise a look before leaving with Jessamine. After they left, only Elise and the three kids remained in the classroom.
Alexia was a little sad as she recalled how she had made a fool out of herself before Alexander earlier, so she held Elise’s hand and whined, “Mommy, English is so difficult, and Math is different from what I learned before…”
“It’s alright. You’re still young, and it will be fine after you get used to the program here,” Elise comforted 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 very high 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 before telling the driver to drop them home.
Their car happened to run into a few school buses at the school entrance. There seemed to be some event going on, and the people from the buses had blocked the entire entry. So, they had no choice but 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 the entertainment industry, but a topic attracted her attention.
There was an ingenious variety show; the guests on the show were neither highly popular nor capable celebrities, but the managers behind these people grouped them together, and through several 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 saw Winona’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, she suddenly 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’m here, so don’t be afraid, and don’t cry.”
Unfortunately, that only made Mimi cry harder as she wailed and sobbed, “Papa, Mama, the bad guy… 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 the school bus at the school entrance. The lanky man dressed in a suit was taking a group picture flanked by people around him.
As Elise had done a thorough investigation before she arrived, she could recognize just from one glance that this was the acting chairman of Frazier Incorporated, Oliver Frazier, whose niece was missing but wouldn’t provide a picture.
Initially, it was only a hunch, but judging from Mimi’s reaction, Elise was very confident that her guess, 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 terrified at the sight of him?
