Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

“Let’s talk about the situation first.”

Jane briefly explained the situation and entrusted the cause of the incident to her several nannies. However, she kept the note she was holding tightly closed and didn’t mention it to anyone.

“We will thoroughly investigate this matter, but don’t you have surveillance cameras in your house? Maybe you can find some clues by checking the footage,” suggested Officer Cameron.

Jane shook her head. “After my two children went missing, the surveillance system broke down once they were found. I haven’t had a chance to replace it yet.”

Officer Cameron randomly asked a few questions to the nannies and took pictures of the scene. “Let’s wait for the results for now, and you should think if there’s anyone you might have offended.”

Jane let out a long sigh. “Thank you for your help today. I’ll think about it myself.”

After seeing Officer Cameron off, Jane drove to Pansy’s Old Mansion.

Perhaps she could find the answers she was looking for there.

As soon as she entered Pansy’s Old Mansion, she heard cheerful laughter and happiness, which sharply contrasted with her own gloom.

Jane walked in with heavy steps.

As soon as she opened the door, the laughter abruptly stopped.

It seemed like her intrusion posed a great threat to them.

In Pansy’s Old Mansion, Mike was there, Beatrice was there, and even Harrison was standing nearby, all staring at her as if enjoying a spectacle.

“Well, isn’t this Patrick’s ex-wife? Why would you come here? Besides, our families have already cut ties,” Harrison, always sarcastic, had never changed, and Jane was well aware of that.

“If not for something important, I would never set foot in this place for the rest of my life,” Jane said, willing to do anything to find her children.

“Weren’t your children taken away by you? Did you lose them again?” Beatrice questioned Jane, shifting all the blame onto her.

Mike’s behavior, on the other hand, seemed rather unusual.

Normally, one would expect him to be extremely worried upon hearing that his precious grandchildren had gone missing. However, his calm demeanor seemed out of place to Jane.

“Do you really have no idea where the children are?” Jane questioned once again.

Since she entered, she hadn’t taken a sip of water or sat down for a moment.

“What do you mean? Are you suggesting that we took the children away?” Before Harrison could say anything, Beatrice interjected.

“I know who knows the truth, don’t use such despicable means to snatch away my children,” Jane’s patience was wearing thin, and there was no need for further words between them.

“You didn’t take good care of your own children and lost them. Now you come here to question us. Who do you think you are? Don’t forget, you divorced my son a long time ago, and he already has a fiancée now.”

Beatrice’s words hit Jane right in the bullseye.

Although they had already divorced, during the time Patrick went missing, Jane never gave up hope of finding him. Unfortunately, all her efforts had been in vain.

Just when she finally managed to draw a line between her and Patrick, she heard about his fiancée.

No wonder he had been so cruel to her. He had already moved on.

“Patrick’s affairs have nothing to do with me. Right now, I just want to know where my children are,” Jane appeared remarkably calm, showing no signs of excessive attachment.

“Your children are not with us. Go look somewhere else,” Harrison provided a definite answer.

Jane directly threw the note into Mike’s hands. “This is the note left by those who took away my children today. If I’m not mistaken, the handwriting should be Harrison’s. I want to know what you were planning by taking my children away.”

After Jane finished speaking, she sat down directly across from Harrison.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Mike remained silent for a while before speaking up. “Harrison, did you do this?”

Harrison, who had previously been acting self-righteous, was now scared and dared not utter a word. “Dad, what are you talking about? How could I have kidnapped my own children?”

Confused, Mike asked, “Aren’t those two children Patrick’s?”

Realizing he had misspoken, Harrison quickly covered his mouth and ran upstairs.

Taking the opportunity, Jane said, “Mike, I have always respected you as an elder, and I have never tried to interfere with your affairs. Even when I acquired Patrick’s company, it was because I didn’t want the industry that originally belonged to Patrick to be destroyed. But the matter concerning the children is of utmost importance. I hope you will consider it carefully.”

Jane’s words were clear and understandable. Mike, being a smart person, naturally understood the reasoning behind them.

Only Beatrice sat there, appearing indifferent to the situation.

Jane walked out of Pansy’s Old Mansion confidently. She wasn’t worried about the safety of her children because she knew someone else would be more concerned than herself.

Sure enough, Mike hobbled upstairs with his cane.

He knocked forcefully on Harrison’s door. “Open up now and explain everything to me. I want to know what’s going on.”

Mike stood at the door for half an hour, continuously knocking until the person inside finally opened it.

Meanwhile, Beatrice stood by, watching the spectacle.

“You explain it to me. Back then, when you wanted to return, I agreed. When you wanted to go to Patrick’s company and take over his position, I agreed. I took care of all the bribery and corruption cases in the company for you. I endured all of it, just so you could have a job and not be idle all the time.”

“Now you come and tell me, what was your intention in kidnapping those two children?” Even if Mike didn’t like Jane, he wouldn’t joke about his grandchildren’s lives.

Harrison sat at the table, smashing everything in front of him. “You only know how to come here and ask me. Don’t ask me. I just took my own children away. What did I do wrong?”

Hearing this, Mike became even more confused. “Explain clearly what you mean by ‘your children.’ What are you talking about?”

Beatrice chimed in, “Mike, it’s possible that Melissa’s children weren’t actually Melissa’s, but Harrison’s.”

This made Mike even more anxious. “Didn’t the children jump into the river and die back then? After a lot of effort, we finally found these two children. But whose children are they exactly?”
