Kendall lowered her voice and snapped, “You dared to take my daughter, so of course I dare to call the police.

I’m warning you, bring my daughter back, or I’ll go straight to the Lennox family and tell Mariana everything you’ve done. You know better than I do what will happen to Eliana then.”

“Kendall, if you dare, I’ll raise your child for you. As long as you keep quiet, I’ll make sure your daughter has a good life,” that man said.

It was Beatrice on the other end of the line.

Kendall was stunned. It really was her. She said, “There’s nothing between my daughter and me. If that’s how you want to play, then it’s all or nothing.

Tm heading to the Lennox family right now. Don’t think they will believe me. I have photos of Cassie growing up. Who do you think they will trust, you or me?”

“Beatrice, if you had just given my daughter back, we could have all lived in peace. I would have kept my mouth shut, and I would have made sure Cassie had a good life. But now, no one gets to walk away unscathed,” Kendall said.

And I’ll report you to the police for taking my child,” Kendall threatened.

Kendall hung up abruptly.

She turned to Serena, tears streaming down her face. “Ms. Hale, it was Beatrice who took my child. That damn old bat! I already returned their daughter. Why did they have to take mine? Isn’t this just going too far?”

Serena understood Beatrice’s motives. She said, “Mrs. Brett, it’s not going too far. She’s doing this to keep you in check. Beatrice always knows how to pull people’s strings.

“Your daughter means everything to you, and she’s worried you’ll spill the truth to the Lennox family, so she’s using your daughter to threaten you.”

Kendall broke down in tears, her heart aching with grief. She hadn’t even laid eyes on her real daughter yet, but she swore to herself. I’ll make every last one of them pay for what they did.

My daughter deserves justice, and I won’t stop until she gets it.

Louisa was on her hit list, too. There was no way she’d get off easy.

Serena told Chris and Lyra to track down Shelly.

Serena also messaged Nova, asking her to start a citywide search. With everyone on the lookout, they’d find Shelly in no

time.

“Mrs. Brest, don’t be too upset. I’ve already sent people to look for her. We’ll have news soon, Serena said

Kendall had only said those things to make Beatrice hand Chloe back, but now that she thought about it, she realized she‘ let her emotions get the better of her

“Ms. Hale, thank you I was just so worked up. Do you think they’d actually lay a hand on Shelly Kendall asked gripping Serena’s arm in desperation

Serena stayed silent. With someone like Beatrice, there was no telling what she might do Even breaking the law wasn’t out of the question.

Just then, Kendall’s phone rang again.

Serena quickly told her. “Pick up!”

It was Beatrice calling.

“Hello!” she answered.

At this time, Lyra walked over and said, “Ms. Hale, we’ve found out where Shelly is. The police are already on their way.”

On the other end, Beatrice hung up immediately.

“Hello?” Kendall’s eyes darted to Serena, anxious for reassurance.

Serena frowned. “She’s making a run for it, but we’ll get your daughter back, don’t worry.”

Serena was certain Beatrice wouldn’t risk actually taking the kid.

Serena thought, ‘Getting slapped with a child trafficking charge? No way Beatrice will risk that.’

Kendall finally breathed a sigh of relief.

All that mattered now was getting Chloe back.

Lyra led the way, with Serena and Kendall trailing behind her, into a narrow alley just a stone’s throw from the orphanage.

Lyra pointed at a pitch–black door. “Serena, Kendall, this is the house where they brought the kid.”

Serena frowned, thinking, ‘So Beatrice gave us the slip again.’

Kendall’s eyes were burning with fury as she stormed over. Just as she was about to knock, the door swung open from the inside.

Two cops stepped out, each holding the hand of a little girl.
