Chapter 30: Involvement with the Black Market
Involvement with the black market is something that I believe a nanny like Sherry couldn’t handle alone.
“Daisy, what worries me the most is whether she still has this thing in her possession. If she does, it’s a hidden danger sooner or later. I would advise you to be careful with what you eat, especially when Robert is not around. Try to avoid eating anything she gives you,” Scarlett cautioned me.
“I can be cautious, but what about the child?” I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and tears slid down. I choked out, “Scarlette, how did my life come to this? Why? What do they want to achieve?”
“Don’t get agitated…! Don’t act recklessly. Always protect yourself! Only by staying alive can you hope for a victorious day,” Scarlett whispered, trying to comfort me.
Yes, staying alive is the key to victory.
I sniffled, “They’re not at home now. They’ve gone to the hospital. Charles didn’t have a blanket last night, and he caught a cold! Robert rushed back last night, and I suspect Steven called him. I don’t know what was said, but him returning overnight is definitely not normal. Oh, Scarlett, how is the hospital surveillance being handled?”
“Don’t worry about that! Albert arranged for someone to take care of the hospital surveillance as soon as we left. He’s very meticulous and won’t leave any loose ends. You can rest assured!” Scarlett reassured me.
“That’s great!” I sighed in relief. “When Robert came back, I overheard him mentioning Southend in a phone call. Scarlett, if possible, please go to Southend as soon as you can.”
“Alright, I got it. Even if I lose my job, I’ll help you find out. Anyway, I’ve been working too hard these past few years. I’ll consider it a break!” Scarlett’s words warmed my heart. “Scarlette, thank you. I’m grateful to have you!”
Scarlette, furious, exclaimed, “Hey, baby, don’t mention it! It’s just that Robert, this beast, would go so far for a nanny…”
“No,” I interrupted her, expressing my suspicion, “something’s not right. Based on my observations, my intuition tells me that Sherry is just a puppet. Robert has another agenda!”
“How do you figure?” Scarlette inquired.
“Attitude,” I confidently uttered those two words without hesitation. “Robert’s attitude towards Sherry is off.”
“You’re saying they’re not involved?” Scarlette questioned with doubt.
I shook my head, contemplating, “They are. But… It’s strange. Sherry is definitely not the main factor. She seems more like someone Robert arranged to monitor me, or more accurately, his accomplice.”
“He’s really shameless, not even sparing a nanny! Disgusting man! Don’t worry, Albert is already investigating the backgrounds of these two!” Scarlette said disdainfully. “Once we find out the results, we’ll know who’s colluding with the black market! The urgent task is to locate that thing. I’m sure Sherry still has it, and it’s the evidence we need to punish them.”
“Colorless and odorless,” I murmured to myself, truly disturbed upon deeper reflection. With something like that in the house, what would happen to my children? If she targets my children, how can I protect them?
“I have to check now while no one is home. By the way, can I access Robert’s computer now?” I asked Scarlette.
“Give me a moment; I’ll send it to you shortly.”
Scarlette ended the call, and I picked up my original phone, quickly checking the status of the surveillance. As expected, fearing my suspicion, Robert had already turned off all the surveillance.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
I snorted coldly, confident that Robert would disable the surveillance when returning my phone and wouldn’t easily turn it back on.
I went straight to the kitchen, carefully examining every corner, leaving no stone unturned. However, I didn’t find anything unusual.
Strange, where could she have hidden the thing?
