"Let's drive in," Butler Holland agreed. "We have already contacted the kindergarten beforehand so we can drive the car right in."
"We can't just drive in like this. We have a lot of cars and people with us. We have to find a way." Alice saw those people looking around across the road and she was very worried. She was really nervous and thought of a way to confuse them.
"Butler Holland, call Mr. Maurice and let the children go to the back. We'll pick them up from there," Alice ordered.
She continued, "Then, arrange for a car to drive in from the front. We must pretend to pick them up from the front, too."
Butler Holland was sensible. He nodded immediately and responded, "I'll call him now."
Soon, he had made the necessary arrangements.
The first car took the lead in heading to the back door.
The last car drove in through the front gate.
The butler and Alice headed to the back together.
Their car quickly drove towards the back door, where Mr. Maurice was already waiting. As soon as he saw Butler Holland, he immediately went forward.
"Butler Holland, there are reporters at the front gate. Hurry up and take the children away. I have to remind you that they are very young and shouldn't get involved in such disputes. No matter what, you have to protect the children," Mr. Maurice said.
"Okay, thank you for your reminder," Alice replied politely.
"Thank you," Butler Holland thanked him.
"You're welcome. This is what we should do." Mr. Maurice smiled and ordered Miss Holland to bring the child over.
Little Gary and Ernest quickly got into the car.
The car started and drove back, followed by the bodyguards.
Little Gary immediately asked Alice, "Little Aunt, what happened? Why did all the teachers look at us strangely today? Why did you come to pick us up in the middle of the class?"
In the face of the smart little guy, a guilty conscience flashed across Alice's eyes. She didn't know how to tell the children.
"Don't think about it anymore. I just want to hear the truth." Little Gary's sharp eyes caught on to Alice's hesitation. "I know that you are trying to hide something from me. It seems like this is a difficult matter."
"Yes," Alice replied. "Maybe it's more difficult than the fact that your parents haven't gotten married."
"What's going on?" Little Gary asked.
"I think it's better for your father to tell you about this." This time, Alice was very calm. "I can't tell you anything, so don't try to ask me."
"Why don't you want us to know?" Little Gary grew anxious when he heard her words. "Since it is a troublesome matter and you won't say anything, how would we know? How do we know how to defend ourselves against it?"
"Little Gary, stop pressing me." Alice looked at her nephew pleadingly. "I really don't know how to tell you."
"Mr. Butler, why don't you tell us?" Little Gary had no choice but to turn to Butler Holland.
Butler Holland replied, "You father must be very busy now. We don't want to cause more trouble. Now go back and have a good meal, take a nap and play. Don't get yourselves involved in this, okay?"
Little Gary immediately frowned and his breathing was a little heavy. It seemed that he was a little angry.
"Little Aunt, Mr. Butler, we'll be worried if you hide it from us. Don't treat us like children all the time, okay?" Ernest said. "Today, in school, our teachers looked at us several times and wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought. Some of them even looked at us with disdain and whispered to each other, saying that we were illegitimate children."
Immediately, Alice's face fell and her eyes widened. Were the kindergarten teachers talking about Little Gary and Ernest after they saw the news?
