The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 540

"We're trapped!" Kristin started to panic.

Hubert patted her on the shoulder. "It's okay. We'll find a place to hide first. When school lets out, we can blend in with the others and leave."

"But Mommy and the others will be worried if they can't find us."

"We don't have a choice. Worst case, we get a spanking when we get home."

"Oh, okay."

The two of them hid in a storage closet. Once they felt safe, they both started giggling.

"Did you see how Queena was crying so hard snot was running into her mouth?"

"I saw! It was so gross!"

"Let's see if she dares to bully anyone ever again!"

"Bad people deserve to be hit. That's how they learn not to bully others."

"Too bad we can't beat up her dad."

"I guess dads are useful after all. When I get back, I'm going to ask Mommy to find me a dad."

"I want Mommy to find me a dad, too."

The two little ones leaned their heads together, quietly waiting for the school bell to ring.

But the playground had erupted into chaos. Queena had been beaten by two unknown children, leaving her with bruises on her face and body. The school administration didn't dare to hide it and immediately called Maria.

Soon after, Maria arrived at the school in a luxury van with her bodyguards. Seeing the injuries on Queena's face, she furiously berated the teachers and security guards, then ordered them to find the two children immediately.

Just then, by tracking the security footage, they finally discovered the children's hiding place. A group of adults headed for the storage closet.

Hubert had been listening to the sounds outside. When he heard the heavy footsteps, he knew they had been found.

"Kristin!" he said, shaking awake Kristin, who had fallen asleep during the long wait. "They're coming for us! We have to run!"

Before Kristin was fully awake, Hubert pulled her along, peeked outside, and then ran in the opposite direction from where the footsteps were coming.

"Quick! Catch those two brats! Don't let them get away!"
