In the hotel, Tanya sat leisurely by the window, sipping her coffee and gazing out at the bustling cityscape.
Her assistant, Tina, approached with a concerned look, "Madam, the child transfer went through without a hitch, but Faye and the baby are nowhere to be found."
Faye was the old woman who took Megan’s baby away.
A shiver of cold fury flashed in Tanya's eyes, "How could they just disappear?"
"I'm not sure. She didn't show up at the rendezvous point. I've got people on it, but so far, there's no sign of her," Tina replied.
Tanya's lips quivered slightly, her resolve hardening, "We have to find her. There can't be any slip-ups in this operation."
"OK."
Megan returned to the Alcott estate with the child, reassured by the presence of her parents. The Stirling family wouldn't dare make a move on the estate to snatch the child.
Holding her son, hope swelled within her again. If Aurelia's bastard Kane died, her son would be Leopold's only legitimate heir.
The Alcotts, of course, were keen on the boy becoming the Stirling heir. With Leopold's fate uncertain, they needed Megan to solidify her status and ascend to a position of power, thus legitimizing her child's claim.
On the day of Nova's christening, Callie took her daughter Megan, who had not yet recovered from childbirth, and her grandson to Magnolia Heights.
Callie believed that in the presence of so many friends and family, Jessica would not have the heart to turn them away.
Magnolia Heights was where the Stirling family was hosting the celebration.
At the entrance of the grand estate, there was a reception room for guests to wait and undergo a security check. Once their identities were confirmed, they could proceed.
