"What is it? What's wrong?" Vania was puzzled.
With a darkened face, Hanson answered, "That man is Eddie's butler."
Instantly, her expression froze as her heart started racing. Does it mean the girl beside that butler is my daughter?
Anxious, she wanted to know the answer immediately. As she looked at the child, her emotions couldn't be deciphered.
On the other hand, Hanson remained calm. "Darling, you're the headmistress of the school. Can't you find out when this child enrolled?"
"Sure. I'll ask someone to look into it." She then gave the instruction to her people instantly.
At this moment, both Vania and Hanson weren't sure whether their guesses were right as they looked at the little girl. After all, they didn't feel the familiarity and affinity of meeting a family member for the first time.
Hanson frowned slightly at the thought of this. When he first saw his other children, the power of blood ties was very strong, so why didn't he feel anything this time?
He was being cautious of everything. "We still need to look into this child. Don't rush things, darling."
"Okay." Vania nodded. Other than a moment of shock she experienced just now, she didn't feel anything special toward that little girl either.
Just then, she received the results of the investigation on her phone.
"She enrolled today," she said, telling Hanson the news.
Hearing that, he smirked in irony. "I see." Then, he looked at Vania and started analyzing the situation. "I think he deliberately wants us to notice the kid. It looks like we should prepare ourselves."
"She's in the same class as our babies, so I think I should tell them about it." She had to ask her babies to be careful since she didn't want anything to happen to them again. Almost immediately, she sent a message to her children in their group chat.
Soon, the children replied to her that they would be careful.
In the car, Hanson comforted her by saying, "Let's head back first. They won't do anything if we stay here." Eddie has finally appeared, and I'm really curious what this loser is about to pull off.
Meanwhile, Vania looked at the disappearing figure and said, "Who knows? We might be able to witness a good show today." There was a hint of playfulness at the corners of her lips.
All of a sudden, something seemed to come across Hanson's mind. He turned the wheel and sent Vania to Galaxy Corporation.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of Gray Condo, a man was immersed in his thoughts as he sat by the window and looked out of it. Gray Condo was a relatively low-profile condominium in the city center of Hammond with a great security system.
Although the man was in a smart suit, his aura wasn't distinctively strong. He had a cigarette in his hand, but he hadn't taken a puff of it. Only when the fire burned near his fingers did he snap out of his thoughts and threw the cigarette into the ashtray. Then, he scoffed and took a sip of his tea.
Thud, thud… At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
The man put down the cup in his hand and said emotionlessly, "Come in."
Just then, a middle-aged man entered respectfully and stood beside the man before saying, "I've sent the kid to school according to your instructions."
"Did you tell her her new name?" The man's voice sounded ruthless.
The middle-aged man nodded and answered, "Yes. Following your instruction, her name will be Lilith from now on."
"Good." The man turned around after that, and his face was gloomy.
He was Eddie Luke, and he viewed Hanson as his rival. His only purpose was to own Luke Corporation regardless of anything.
However, when compared to Hanson, he was far worse off. Not only in terms of looks and aura, but his inner beauty and talent couldn't be compared to the other man.
