After he had spoken, he stood up, took his wife by the hand, and led her back to the office.

Mia didn't want to step foot in the study. But if she didn't, her husband would chew her out in public. Rather than that, she'd prefer to close the door, let him criticize her in private, where she might have a chance to plead with him. At this moment, she didn't feel tough at all.

In the following days, Mia was the center of attention at school, being chauffeured back and forth.

Her husband, Andre, would occasionally flip through her book a few times when he had nothing to do. He felt somewhat uncomfortable when he noticed that there were no drawings of his wife in it.

The most peculiar one was Jade. Every day, she would arrive punctually at the classroom. When she left, either Chad would pick her up personally, or Coleen, or the Byrne family's driver. Jade asked Mia, "Why has your husband been so attentive to you recently?"

"Because I drew his picture into a pig's head, he found out and as punishment, he's been dropping me off and picking me up from school every day, letting everyone know that he's my husband." Mia asked back, "Why have you been so busy lately, Jade?"

"Because my brother and my mom said that there's a serial killer on the loose in Havenbrook who targets pretty girls. My brother says I'm too pretty and I'm definitely the killer's target, so my dad, mom, brother, and driver are taking turns picking me up." Mia nodded.

Leo had already started to review old knowledge in preparation for the upcoming exams.

The weather had turned cold. In the classroom, students kept the windows closed, so the classroom felt a bit stuffy. Many students would come to the classroom to nap on their desks after lunch, while others would study. "Mia, where did Leo go?" Jade was the first to realize that Leo was missing.

Mia turned around and said, "Yeah, where did he go? It's so cold outside, and his coat is still on his desk."

The classroom was very quiet. Mia and Jade stood up and quietly left the classroom to call Leo. They called once, but nobody answered.

The second time, Leo answered the phone, "Back door of the school, alley, need help."
