The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 538

The next morning, Natalie burst into her bedroom door, shouting, "Kristin and Hubert are gone! I think they went out!"

Hearing this, Penelope shot out of bed.

This wasn't their small town; it was a sprawling metropolis. Two six-year-olds on their own were in serious danger.

They rushed out to search, first checking the apartment complex. When they couldn't find them, they hurried to the security office. On the surveillance footage, they saw the two children, dressed in matching tracksuits and baseball caps, carrying small backpacks and holding hands as they left.

Once outside, they even hailed a cab and drove off.

"Don't panic yet. I'll check the external cameras. I should be able to get the cab's license plate number," the security guard said, quickly working to pull up the footage.

Penelope was worried, of course, but the most important thing now was to calmly figure out where they could have gone.

"They don't know Orenth at all! Where could they possibly go?" Natalie was too frantic to think clearly.

Penelope, however, was a bit calmer. Hubert, though mischievous, was usually sensible, especially when Kristin was with him. He would have been prepared and extra cautious.

"It has to be because of what happened yesterday," Penelope said.

"Kristin was really upset, and Hubert was furious, but after I explained things to them, they seemed to let it go."

"Don't forget, they're the type to hold a grudge."

"So they went to get revenge on Hamilton?"

"They'd never be able to find Hamilton, but they might be able to find Maria's daughter."

At that, both women's eyes lit up.

"The school!"

Just then, the guard found the license plate number. "You can look up the owner's phone number and call to ask where he dropped the kids off."

At the kindergarten entrance, Hubert and Kristin got out of the cab and blended in with the other children heading inside.

The security guards stood on either side, but perhaps because the two kids acted so composed, no one suspected a thing, even though they weren't in uniform.
