244.Chapter 244
It was already four in the morning when Nina and Ryan got home.
Nina glanced at Martin’s and Matthew’s rooms.

Two hours earlier, she had received a call from Max, informing her that Martin and Matthew had already returned to the Swanson residence.
However, after their return, Matthew went straight to Martin’s room.
They had been talking for a full hour, and no one knew what they were discussing.
Sarah had been worried about Nina all night. When she heard the commotion, she hurried out of her room to
check.
But when she saw Ryan packing his bags, she paused in surprise. “Are you leaving, Ryan?”
“There’s been an issue in the Foster family, and I have to head back right away,” Ryan said as he packed the last item into his suitcase. “Mrs. Swanson, thanks for looking after me these days.”
“What are you saying? Of course I’d look after you, even if it’s just for your grandma’s sake,” Sarah replied.
Sarah couldn’t help but feel a little let down.
She’d been hoping to find ways to bring Nina and Ryan closer together after the party, maybe even play matchmaker a bit.
But she hadn’t expected Ryan to leave in such a hurry.
It seemed like she’d have to wait for a better opportunity next time.
Ryan exchanged a few polite words with Sarah, then picked up his suitcase and left.
Before leaving, he shot Nina a lingering look. “Nina…”
The words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat, and he couldn’t get them out.
He had planned to spend this time getting closer to Nina, but now… Guess that was not happening now.
Until this case is wrapped up, he and Nina were stuck as just friends, nothing more.
Not even a step closer.
He couldn’t even make a move on Nina.
He was totally frustrated.
Ryan shot a glare at Martin’s closed door. ‘Damn it, Martin, you’d better get exposed soon. Don’t keep me waiting forever,’ he thought.
After Ryan left, Nina and Sarah exchanged a few words, and then each went back to their own room.
The next morning.
When Nina came downstairs, everyone from the Swanson family was already gathered.
Now that Nina’s identity as the chairman of SN Corporation was out, most of the family, except for the main branch, were suddenly a lot nicer to her.
Nina sat down next to Sarah.
The TV was showing the top headlines.
The news about the illegal baby farm on the eastside was all over the place.
“Those people are absolute monsters! Those girls were just in the prime of their lives, and those bastards
snatched them away, ruining everything,” Linda said, her face twisted with anger.
She went on, “Who knows if they’ll even make it through this? If they ever catch those scumbags, they deserve the death penalty, no mercy. That’s the only way to stop them from ruining more lives.”
Linda might be a little petty and selfish sometimes, but deep down, she was a real mom.

244 Chapter 244
She had two daughters. Luna, her eldest, and Emilia, her youngest.

Her girls might not be as impressive as Nina or as talented as Lily, but to Linda, they were perfect just the way they were.
She’d sometimes get competitive with Vivian, but she’d never pit her own girls against anyone else’s.
All she cared about was that her daughters were happy.
She loved her kids more than anything in the world.
So whenever Linda saw stories like this on TV, she just couldn’t help but get furious.
Emilia was still in middle school, so there was nothing to worry about with her yet.
But Luna was about to be a senior in high school, and in just one more year, she’d be heading off to college.
Luna’s dream was to get into Betrico University.
If that didn’t work out, she’d settle for one of the top colleges.
But either way, she wanted to stay in Betrico.
That meant if Luna made it into college, she’d be moving out and living on her own.
If something like that ever happened to Luna, Linda felt like she’d lose her mind.
After seeing the news last night, Linda had already decided. Once Luna went off to college, she was going to tag along, just to make sure nothing bad happened to her.
“Those bastards deserve to die a thousand deaths!” Judy was furious. “Last night, the news showed reporters talking to the victims’ families.
“Some of those moms just collapsed when they saw what had happened to their daughters, and others were crying and screaming. It was just too much to bear.
“I was so mad and hurt at the same time. Seriously, who could raise such animals? How could anyone do something so evil?”
