Supreme Mars novel Chapter 30

Leo left after signing the transfer agreement, leaving Caroline and Rebecca looking upset in their seats.

"How could he say that?"

The more Caroline thought about it, the angrier she became. "What did he mean, useless baggage? He makes it sound as though we're picking up his leftovers."

Countless people wanted to be in charge of the partnership with Atlas Beauty, but that fool made it sound like it was a burden. Prideful as Caroline was, this was something that she could not accept.

"Ignore him. With this transfer agreement, we're the ones in charge now."

Rebecca was not that angry. "He's just an idiot, through and through. Even if you give him the responsibility, he wouldn't realize what it's worth."

Caroline processed her mother's words and felt much calmer.

"What should we do now? Should we tell Dad?"

"Why tell him?" Rebecca pressed her lips into a thin line. "We can take care of this ourselves. With it, we can establish a long-term cooperation with Atlas Beauty, and we'll have the final say going forward."

A convinced Caroline said excitedly, "Let's celebrate this with some good food, and then we'll talk to Miss Henderson tomorrow!"

It went without saying that Leo was unaware of Rebecca and Caroline's selfish machinations. He was on his way to his daughter's kindergarten.

He wasn’t interested in a project leadership role to begin with.

It wasn't a bad idea to leave good opportunities to his family members. After all, it was his wife's company, and he could ask for a position anytime he wanted.

Since Caroline wanted the position, he did not mind giving it to her.

But that was the extent of it. He had no idea if they could even do their jobs well.

When Leo arrived at the kindergarten, the classes were just over and many parents were waiting at the door.

Hordes of children rushed out at the sound of the bell and went home with their parents.

There was no trace of Emilia among the ones departing.

Leo wasn't in a rush. He stood at the door and waited quietly for her to emerge.

Time passed, as more and more children left. Emilia was still nowhere to be seen.

Leo's expression finally turned solemn and he walked into the kindergarten.

It had been an hour, but his little girl was still inside. Something must have happened.

The kindergarten was a nice, well-insulated place that was cool during the summer and warm during the winter. The walls were covered with beautiful doodles, and some playful children were still playing on the slide inside.

However, he still could not see his little girl.

He made his way to Emilia's homeroom, Class 1, but it was empty. His expression became more and more grave.

The gates of kindergartens and primary schools could be the most bustling of places, especially when school was over. Child traffickers could very easily masquerade as parents picking up their children outside.

He had searched everywhere, except for the staff office. If Emilia was still not there, it meant that she had gone missing.

Leo walked to that office with a grim expression, only to hear a teacher's cold, questioning voice inside.

"Tell me, why did you hit him? And so hard too? Can't you see that Ken's head is bleeding?"

In the office, a female teacher was giving a little girl a harsh scolding. The girl had her back to Leo, preventing him from seeing her face.
