“Didn’t you say you were having a video conference? Is it over already?”
Nathan’s eyes widened in realization.

He swiftly held Colby in his arms and rushed downstairs.
Watching him leave, Lucinda shook her head helplessly and smiled.
Toward evening, Sonny arrived with information about Hallie.
“Lucinda, I conducted a thorough investigation on Hallie. Her identity checks out. There seems to be no problem with her.”
Lucinda frowned.
“You mean, she’s genuinely Hallie, and her experiences were not fabricated?”
Sonny nodded, confirming her suspicions.
Yet, Lucinda still couldn’t shake her doubts. If that was indeed Hallie, then why did Hallie utter those words?
Sonny continued, “I found her and she claimed that someone contacted her and paid her to act that way before she arrived here. Her words and actions were well-calculated.”
“Who paid her to do it?” Lucinda’s expression grew stern.
Sonny shook his head again.
“That person used an anonymous account to get in touch with her. I traced the account, but I couldn’t find the real name or address of the owner.”
Anonymous accounts again, just like the ones used against Dwayne before.
But why would someone go to such lengths just to have Hallie threaten her?
Could it be Valerie, who had disappeared after jumping into the river eight months ago?
Lucinda pondered for a moment and issued a serious order.
“Assign two more people to monitor Hallie and observe any unusual behavior. Also, increase the number of bodyguards at the N&L Fairy Land. Make sure the house is guarded round the clock.”
In light of Hallie’s actions, Lucinda and Nathan had become especially cautious when it came to hiring a nanny.
They meticulously scrutinized each candidate’s family background and work experience, ultimately selecting a warm-hearted middle-aged woman named Zenia Curtis.
With Zenia’s assistance, Nathan found himself unburdened from the weight of household chores, suddenly blessed with a surplus of free time.
