Lessie's POV

Even though I didn’t reply to any of her messages, Ella kept coming back to talk to me through the door.

“Adele already took a cab to the airport,” she said once. “She said she’ll call you when she lands.”

Another time, “Lessie, are you still upset? Please don’t be mad at the kids. They didn’t mean any harm.”

“Are you even listening to me?” she asked again. “It’s fine if you don’t want to answer… I just hope you’re hearing me.”

“There was a fight this evening between our neighbors,” she said once. “Something about a dog. I didn’t get all the details.”

“Lessie, it’s night already. Aren’t you coming out? You haven’t eaten all day.”

All those messages were from Ella. She kept talking to me through the door. I couldn’t see her, but I imagined how worried she looked. And even though I didn’t say anything back, her voice comforted me.

Thanks to her, I actually slept well last night, like a baby.

When I woke up, I stretched and yawned before heading to the bathroom to brush and

    Freddie's POVI swallowed hard, still looking completely shocked.“Wait... You said you became suspicious because Jasmine accidentally said something?” I asked.Zenith nodded. “Yes. She mentioned something about knowing Ma'am Lessie. That caught my attention, because you two have been divorced for years, and barely anyone knows about it, especially not a little girl like Jasmine. That wasn’t all. There were a few other strange things too. I couldn’t ignore it, so I asked our investigator to look into the kids. And that’s how I found out the truth.”I fell silent, my eyes drifting back to Jasmine. She was still on the floor, crying.“They’re my kids,” I whispered to myself. “No wonder I’ve always felt such a strong connection to them.”Zenith snapped me out of my thoughts.“There’s something else I didn’t tell you yet. After finding out about the kids, I asked the investigator to look deeper into Ma'am Lessie's background—and he found more.”My heart started racing. The first news was

    Freddie's POV I carried Jasmine over to my desk and placed her gently on my chair.“Wow, your chair is so smooth to sit on,” she said with a grin, swaying from side to side.“James, you can sit here,” I said, pointing to another chair for him.He nodded and sat down.“What would you like to have, James?” I asked.He pressed his lips together, thinking for a moment, then said, “Tea and snacks.”“Alright,” I looked at Zenith to take note of it, then turned to Jasmine, who was still happily rocking in the chair.“Sweetie Jam Jam, what would you like to eat?” I asked her softly.Jasmine stopped swaying and looked at me with bright eyes. “What can I have, Papi?” she asked in a cute voice.“Anything you want,” I replied.“Then I want a bit of everything,” she said with a sly smile, laughing.“Really?” I raised an eyebrow, surprised.Even Zenith was caught off guard. He suddenly shouted, “What did you just say?!”I shot him a sharp look, and he immediately shut up.When I looked at James, h

    Judie's POV I picked up my phone to check again, thinking maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me, but it was still the same thing I was seeing.When that woman told me what that brat named Jasmine said to her, I had brushed it off, thinking she was just spreading rumors because Jasmine’s just a child. But still, I sent the information to my private investigator.I didn’t have the little brat’s picture, but I sent her name along with Freddie’s surname. I figured that in case there were many Jasmines in this country, attaching Freddie’s last name would help narrow the search.Who would’ve thought that while I was scrolling through the list of Jasmines sent by my investigator, I’d suddenly see that brat’s full information, her photo and all.Reading the details made my jaw drop a million times over.Her mother’s name was Lessie. How could that be possible?Normally, I would have thought it was some other Lessie, but the moment I saw her picture, I knew. It was that Lessie. I recognized

    Judie’s POVI stormed into the house, feeling like I could explode. Honestly, I was furious, but I just didn’t want to admit it out loud.As soon as I got inside, I screamed at the top of my lungs. That scream carried all the anger I’d been holding in while driving home.“No, no, this can’t be happening!” I shouted as I pulled at my hair and threw my bag to one corner of the room.Right now, I look completely crazy. I even felt like tearing off my dress.The maids, who had thought of coming to greet me when I walked in, all stood silently in one corner. Not a single one of them dared to speak.Before I came home, I was in such a good mood. I had even gone to Freddie’s office to push him again—thinking I could at least force him to spend time with me.But I hadn’t even stayed a full minute at the receptionist desk when a commotion broke out.I hissed in irritation and was going to ignore it, but then I saw her. That same little brat from the mall—the one who dared to humiliate me. Not

    Jasmine's POV We left the receptionist desk, with many gazes on us, however I didn't mind.I even walked in grand style, so I could be remembered. I only stopped, we were out of people's sight.“Goodness, I'm so childish!” Uh, actually, I'm still a kid. A five year old kid for crying out loud.We took the elevator. While inside the elevator, James couldn't help asking. “Zenith, where are you taking us?” Zenith blinked his eyes. “Aren't you guys here to see Boss? I'm taking you there.” “Oh yes, you're right. We miss him and want to see me.” I smiled with delight.“But I'm confused about something. Can you tell me why you came without even informing anybody? How did you even know this place.” I was still feeling happy, so I replied cheerfully. “We searched up this place and we didn't inform you ahead of time, because I don't want you to be stressed because Papi might ask you to come pick us up.” I flattered him, but only I and James knew it wasn't the case. If we'd a phone with us

    Lessie's POVI bit my lower lip, trying to stop my face from turning red.I stared directly at the receptionist, and a cold frown appeared on my face.“And who are you to look down on someone just because of their job? If you think it’s right to insult others because of what they do, then let’s talk about your own job. You’re only a receptionist, yet you act so proud, speaking badly to people who are far above your level.” I said sharply, not holding anything back.The disgust on my face was clear.The receptionist’s cheeks turned bright red with shame, and for a long moment, she couldn’t say a word.Because she had yelled earlier, a lot of people had now gathered around. They were all watching closely, curious about what was happening.The receptionist was breathing hard, like someone who had just finished running. Then she suddenly screamed, “Security! Someone call security and throw this rude brat out!”I let out a small snort and was about to say something even harsher, but James
