Next morning, it was a surprise that the boy did not laze in bed.

Thud, thud, thud. He ran back to his room, took his little toothbrush, and started washing up for the morning. He had a row of neat and white teeth which he carefully brushed. Once done, he ran to look for Rainie. When he opened the door, he announced to her, "Our mommy is still alive."

Rainie's hair was tied into a neat braid. She cocked her head to the side, "Big Bro, what are you talking about?"

"I said, our mother is still alive!" Blanche said as he marched forward and knelt on the floor to help his sister wear her shoes before bringing her to another house within the mansion.

Their nanny was not bothered by what the kids were doing.

Blanche got his sister to be on the lookout while he sneaked into Uncle Louis' room quietly. He took his uncle's phone and turned around to sneak out of the room...

"Did you get it Big Bro?" Rainie widened her eyes to ask.

Blanche nodded and went to a secluded corner with his sister. They used the phone to dial a number.

At the same time, Charles Finn's phone rang.

At one housing estate within the City Center Fifth Ring, Charles was having a morning run with his wife. When his phone rang, both of them paused their steps.

When Charles reached for his phone, he frowned at the sight of the Caller ID and said to his wife Faye Thomas, "It's Crawford's second young master, Louis."

"Why is he calling you?" Faye was puzzled.

The couple used to work with the Crawfords 20 years ago. Old Master Crawford had retired and handed the company to his son. Unfortunately, a few years later, his son had fallen severely ill and passed away thus Old Master Crawford had to come out of retirement.

It was until Luke Crawford returned to the family that they started to work for Luke.

Luke was a born leader and inherited the best genes the family had. His intelligence was above others. As of now, the couple believed that he did not inherit his father's negative personalities.

His father was a promiscuous and fickled philanderer. They had not seen Luke carrying such an attitude thus far.

in a blink of an eye, since Luke came back at the age of 16, until now, it had been 13 years. Both Charles and Faye could no longer work even if they wanted to.
