Bianca noticed that Rainie had never worn the clothes she bought for her. She guessed that Rainie did not like the clothes that she picked for her, and that was why she had used that excuse against Rainie. Rainie only wanted to go home. She shook her head and said, "I have many clothes at home, Mommy." Bianca took Rainie's hand and led her to the shopping mall across the street as though she did not hear what the little girl said. "It's rare that the two of us can go shopping without anyone else following us, Rainie. Let's have a lot of fun today." Rainie wanted to take out her phone to tell Lanie about where they were going, but before she could do that, Bianca dragged her into the shopping mall, and they went to the children's section. Bianca picked a few dresses that matched Rainie's usual clothing style. She smiled and asked her, "Don't you think that these dresses look pretty? Why don't you try them on? If they fit you, I'll buy them for you." Rainie glanced at the exqui
The butler immediately made arrangements. Meanwhile, Bianca drove the car to the outskirts of A City. By the time she parked the car in front of the pre-arranged house, it was already past midnight. She had taken all the precautions. In order to avoid being tracked down by the people sent by Old Master Crawford, she made many detours on roads without surveillance cameras. It would have been difficult for someone else to do that, but she was from the Island of Despair, and it was very easy for her to do so. Bianca smirked when she glanced at her phone that was already out of battery because it had been vibrating nonstop. She brought her handbag and Rainie's backpack into the house. When she returned and sat back in the car, Rainie had already woken up. Rainie was still groggy because she was still under the lingering effects of the drug. She took some time to focus and realized that she was still in the car. She looked at the woman in front of her and asked, "Where am I?" "Y
Lanie could see that Tommy was confused, but he thought it was better that his younger brother did not know what was going on, so he shook his head. Old Master Crawford said, "Alright, I know what needs to be done. Bring your younger brother to the dining table, eat your breakfast, then go to school. Also, don't run around after school is out. Wait for Uncle Sean to come and pick you up." Old Master Crawford did not know about Bianca, so he thought that Bianca and Rainie's disappearance was caused by some other reason. He guessed that someone might have abducted Bianca and Rainie and was holding them ransom. Lanie knew that he had to keep the secret to himself. He nodded, took Tommy's hand, and led him to the dining hall. After they had their breakfast, the driver took them to school. "Lanie, where's Rainie? Why isn't she with us today?" Tommy asked. Lanie did not want him to worry, so he said, "Rainie isn't feeling well today, so she's staying in bed." Tommy nodded, thou
"In any case, I'll have to find Rainie as soon as I can. I don't want the little girl to be in that woman's hands." After her stint on the Island of Despair, Luca knew what those people could do. Kind-hearted people like Eler and Amur were exceedingly rare. Sometimes, the people on the island would harm their family for a warm meal. Everyone on the island only looked out for themselves. Even though the impostor Bianca had lived together with Rainie for three years, Luca could not say that the woman would be kind toward the little girl. Moreover, Luca did not know Bianca's motives for taking the little girl away. When Amur saw Luca execute the program, he immediately began to search for the signal. The program was developed by the people on the Island of Despair. It could be used to search for other people from the Island of Despair within a certain range. The signal emitter was embedded in their phones, and it could continue to give off a signal even after the phone was sw
"You know that your Great-Grandpa doesn't care about me. If I leave alone, I don't think I'd be able to go back anymore." Bianca pretended to look frustrated to gain the child's sympathy. "That's why I brought you along, and it'll be easier for me to go home. Do you understand now?" "But we don't know when Daddy will be back home," Rainie shuddered and said. She could not shake off the fear whenever she heard Bianca speak, though she now understood why she was brought along. That way, Old Master Crawford would have no choice but to let Bianca in. 'Great-Grandpa cares for me more than he cares for that woman… 'She's pretending to be my mother, but she can't stand Great-Grandpa and wants to leave. She's bringing me along so that she can go back… 'It means that she had never intended to leave in the first place…' The more Rainie thought about it, the more afraid she was. What was the woman's motive for staying in the Crawford household? "It doesn't matter if he comes back late
Just when Bianca thought that she could relax for a while, the door was kicked open from the outside. Bianca narrowed her gaze as she watched Luca come in through the door. "What do you think you're doing?" Luca's heart ached when she saw the figure of a little girl lying on the bed. She was some distance away, and she could not see what her condition was. "I'm here to look for you," Luca said. Bianca smirked. "You're here to look for me? There's nothing left to say between us. You must be here to look for that stupid little girl, right?" Luca was from the Island of Despair, and she knew that Bianca was an impostor. Bianca was not going to pretend in front of Luca that she cared for the girl. "Yes. I'm here to look for Rainie. I'm bringing her back home," Luca said as she stepped forward. She noticed that Rainie did not stir even while they were talking, and she wanted to check on her condition. "Bring her home? Don't even think about it! Who do you think you are?" Bianca
"Why do you talk so much?" Bianca raised an eyebrow when she saw Luca hug Rainie tightly in her arms. "I don't know why you're so anxious. Someone else would have thought that you're that girl's real mother." Luca glared at Bianca with a chilling gaze for a few seconds. Bianca felt a chill course down her spine. She pressed her lips together. Luca turned to speak to Amur. "You drive, Amur." "Yes." Amur went over to Bianca and stretched out a hand. "Give me the keys." Bianca rolled her eyes. She took out the car keys from her handbag and tossed them over. "Why are you so loyal to her? Are you like her pet dog or something?" Any other person would have flown into a rage when they heard that. Amur grabbed the car keys, went to the car, and opened the door. Luca carried Rainie and sat in the back seat. Bianca grunted coldly and went to the car. She sat in the side passenger seat. Amur sat in the driver's seat. Luca told him the address of Crawford Manor, then placed Rain
As Amur drove the car, he thought that Bianca was truly shameless. Luca did not argue that point. She stroked the little girl's hair. Usually, Rainie was not fond of strangers, but she somehow felt a sense of familiarity with Luca. She wanted to get closer with Luca, but she looked at her dirty clothes and decided to keep some distance instead. Amur drove the car to Crawford Manor. After Amur parked the car, he and Luca stepped out and left. After all, Bianca was not going to run away, so they decided that their intervention stopped there. Bianca's gaze turned sinister as she watched them leave. She opened the car door and planned to move over to the driver's seat so that she could drive the car inside the house. Rainie saw Bianca step out of the car, so she opened the car door and went into the house by herself. Bianca did not stop her. She sat on the driver's seat and drove the car into the house. The situation in Crawford Manor was chaotic because of Rainie's disappear
