Chapter 382 Missing Jude
Morales and Morgan said, “Don’t worry, Miss Greyson.”
Looking at them, Vania smiled reassuringly. “It’s almost time now. Go to your class.”
Melanie, on the other hand, was completely ignored and could not squeeze in a single word, even though she was here to send the kids to school too.
Finally, a chance presented itself, as she said, “Mommy will come later to pick you up after school.”
“Goodbye, Mommy. Goodbye, Daddy…” Morales and Morgan waved at them.
The four children also waved at Hanson in a rare sight before they went into their classrooms.
It was only after they went in that Melanie asked Hanson, “Can I come pick the kids up after school?”
Hanson did not even look at her as he held Vania’s hand. “Let’s go.”
Immediately, Melanie chased after them and called out the name she had been wanting to say for a very long time, “Hanson.”
Hanson stopped upon hearing this, but he did not turn back. “I remember telling you that this name wasn’t one you could call. Don’t challenge me.”
“I…” Melanie became silent before she uttered, “I won’t do it in the future.”
Snorting, Hanson then left with Vania.
Meanwhile, Melanie, who watched their backs as they left, had a thought enter her mind.
You think that you’re going to live in peace from now on? You can stop dreaming now.
Vania arrived at the company to have Linda report to her, “Boss, we’ve finished the investigation on all the orphanages and treatment centers in Hammond.”
Vania followed up, “But, there’s no news at all, right?”
Nodding, Linda replied, “Boss, do you think we’ve been deceived?”
Vania shook her head. “I suddenly believe that the child is in the city.”
When finding a child, one would find some traces of them, no matter how small they were. Yet, they could not find anything about her.
There was a strong possibility that even Melanie did not even know where she was.
So, that message must be sent with an aim in mind. But, who has the capability to control all this?
At this moment, Linda interrupted her thoughts by asking, “Boss, in what direction should we continue our investigation?’
Immediately, Vania replied, “Search the wealthy.”
She had a hunch that her daughter might be living in a well-off environment.
Linda nodded at this. “Understood. I will send people to keep a lookout in other places too.”
“I also have another thing for you. Send people to monitor Melanie and see who she has been contacting.”
A feeling told her that the person who texted her had something to do with Melanie.
“I understand.”
Just as Vania was about to say something, her phone rang.
Her phone showed that it was the kids’ class teacher.
As her heart skipped a beat, Vania’s first thought was that something had happened.
She immediately answered the phone.
“Is this Jude’s mommy? I’m Constance Vino, his class teacher.” A panicked voice came from the other side.
An uneasy feeling made her stand up at once. “What’s wrong, Miss Vino?”
“Please come to the school with the father of the child at once. Jude has gone missing.”
Missing? Vania was stunned, as her head was in a blank while the teacher’s words kept repeating in her head.
“Hello? Are you still there?”
“Jude’s mother? Are you still on the phone?”
It was only after quite a while that Vania snapped back to reality. As tears slid down her face, she said tremblingly, “I’m coming now.”
In a panic, she grabbed her keys and said to Linda, “Jude has gone missing.”
Linda was shocked to hear this. Immediately, she replied, “I will investigate this immediately.”
