Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35: How much did I even spend

[A few hours ago]

After reappearing from her mysterious disappearance, Ivy drove the guards straight to the outskirts of the city.

Not just Teddy, but the rest of them were equally curious about where she was taking them. However, the moment they reached their destination... their jaws dropped.

"An orphanage?" Percy muttered, staring out the window. Benny and Nico leaned in beside him, equally stunned—until a sharp knock on the glass made all three of them jump.

Ivy stood outside, tapping on the window with an amused look.

"Come on, boys. Time to work."

The second they stepped out, they followed her in—straight into the chaos that was clearly waiting for them.

And just like that, three highly trained guards were downgraded to... unpaid interns.

The moment they stepped inside, the noise hit them first. Laughter. Shouting. Tiny footsteps running in every direction.

Before any of them could properly react— they were surrounded.

"Big Sis! Who are they?" one little boy asked, peeking from behind Ivy.

"Are they superheroes?" another whispered loudly.

Percy straightened immediately, puffing his chest. "Well—"

"Absolutely not," Ivy cut him off smoothly. "They’re here to help."

Three grown men blinked.

Help?

"With what?" Benny asked cautiously.

Ivy’s smile widened in a way that instantly made all three of them suspicious.

"With everything."

And just like that, Percy found himself with two kids hanging off his arms.

"Hey—HEY—why are you climbing me?!" he yelped.

"Horsey!" one of them declared proudly.

"I am NOT a horse—"

Too late.

Meanwhile, Nico stood frozen as a little girl grabbed his hand.

"Mister, will you play house with me?"

"...Do I look like I know how to play house?" he muttered, but five minutes later— he was sitting on the floor, holding a plastic teacup.

"Drink it," she ordered.

"...Yes, ma’am."

Benny, on the other hand, thought he had escaped. He leaned against the wall with a sigh of relief.

"I think I got lucky—"

"CATCH HIM!"

A group of kids suddenly charged toward him.

"What—wait—WHY ME?!"

Seconds later, Benny was sprinting across the room with at least six children chasing him like a pack of tiny predators.

Teddy stood near the entrance, watching the entire disaster unfold.

"...I should’ve stayed in the car."

Ivy walked past him, completely unfazed, as if this was all part of her master plan.

"Oh no," she said lightly. "You’re next."

Teddy froze. "...I suddenly remember I have urgent security duties outside."

He was about to escape when a small hand tugged his sleeve.

"Uncle, come play with us!"
