Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Shake hands

As promised, Ivy reached Daffodil Academy just before Leo’s dismissal time. Seated comfortably in the back seat, she looked out at the large gates, patiently waiting for him.

Raven had always found it fascinating to watch children play in parks. There was something about their carefree laughter, especially when they were with their parents, that made everything feel lighter.

Strange as it sounded, when she had promised Leo a trip to the park, a small part of her had wanted to experience that feeling herself.

"Hmm... should I check what children usually do in a park?" she murmured.

Pulling out her phone, she quickly opened a search engine and began scrolling.

Tilting her head, she studied images of parents and kids playing together. Slides, swings, see-saws...

"Maybe I should try this one first," she said thoughtfully, stopping at a picture of a see-saw.

Up front, Teddy and Benny exchanged a look through the rearview mirror.

Benny blinked slowly before leaning toward Teddy and whispering, "Has she... never been to a park before? Why is she researching it like it’s a mission briefing?"

Ivy, completely absorbed in her phone, had no idea she was not as quiet as she thought.

Teddy glanced back at her, equally puzzled.

Wait... what if she really hasn’t?

No one knew much about Ivy except one thing, she was Leo’s mother. Xander had never bothered to explain anything else, yet suddenly assigned them as her guards.

At this point, being around her felt like reading a mystery novel with missing Chapters.

And every day came with a new plot twist.

Teddy sighed and looked ahead again, deciding it was safer not to think too much.

"Ah... how about we try this?" Ivy suddenly exclaimed from the back seat.

Both men jumped.

Benny clutched his chest. "Madam! Please... I have a weak heart."

Teddy just stared at her for a second, as if questioning all his life choices.

Why does she have to be this dramatic? Benny complained internally, already regretting every decision that led him to this job.

He then glanced out the window at the car parked beside them.

Inside, Percy and Nico were watching the scene unfold.

The moment Benny looked at them, they gave him a cheerful thumbs up.

Benny narrowed his eyes.

Traitors.

There he was, suffering in the front line... while they sat comfortably in the "safe vehicle," enjoying the show.

Completely ignoring Benny’s complaint, Ivy then darted her eyes back at the gates where students were walking out.

"AH! THERE HE COMES!" she shouted again, startling the men for the second time before jumping out of the car. But she froze mid-step.

A man had just walked up to Leo... and, in one swift motion, picked him up.

Ivy’s instincts roared to life watching Leo kick and wriggle in the man’s grip, clearly trying to fight him off—and in that instant, a memory flashed in her mind. The first time she had met him. The same helpless struggle.

Kidnapping. Oh, absolutely not.

Meanwhile, Teddy and Benny stepped out, already prepared to complain about her dramatic screaming—but the moment they saw her expression, the words died in their throats.

Her eyes? Pure murder.

THUD!

A wave.
