Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 409

Larissa made a call to Bethany's mother. Regardless of the outcome, she had to let Bethany's mother know of her dissatisfaction.

The phone rang for a long time before someone finally answered.

"Hello?" The voice on the other end was impatient.

It was a high-pitched female voice that sounded somewhat familiar.

At that moment, Larissa couldn't seem to pinpoint where she had heard this voice before.

"Hello, is this Bethany's mother?" she asked politely.

Before she could get a response, the person on the other end hung up abruptly.

When Larissa tried calling again, she couldn't get through. It was likely that Bethany's mother had blocked her number.

Larissa had met many unreasonable people in her line of work. Due to the nature of her profession, she had trained herself to be calm and collected under most circumstances.

It was rare that someone could work her up so badly that she was tempted to smash her phone into bits.

Larissa tucked Aster into bed and stayed up all night to complete most of her work for the next day.

The next morning, she raced through her tasks and took half a day off from work.

Larissa left the hotel early and managed to arrive at the kindergarten in time for the students to go home.

After the children from toddler and junior classes had left, the students from the senior class lined up to go home.

The parents and guardians walked inside in an orderly manner to pick the children up.

Although the kindergarten appeared crowded due to the large number of people, it wasn't chaotic.

Suddenly, someone grabbed Larissa's arm from behind. "Lari?"

The familiar voice made Larissa stop in her tracks.

Her body stiffened instantly as her racing heartbeat seemed to thump louder and louder.

It grew so loud that the sound reverberated in her ears like a drumbeat, making her momentarily deaf to other sounds.

Her mind went blank as she turned around to look at the woman behind her.
