Dominic walked ahead, taking big strides.
Bianca could only follow at a distance.
The two of them left the building where the archive room was located, crossed a small path, and arrived at the main road.
Suddenly, Dominic turned around.
Bianca also stopped in her tracks.
"Where's Christopher?" Dominic's eyes were sharp as an eagle's.
Bianca was taken aback, only then did she remember her nephew, whom she had forgotten again.
The big boss was obviously in a bad mood, she was dancing on the edge of a knife.
Panicking, Bianca quickly took out her phone and called Christopher, luckily this time Christopher answered the call quickly.
Bianca breathed a sigh of relief, listening to her nephew's cool voice coming through the phone.
"At the entrance of the orphanage, I'll be right there."
Before she could say anything, the call was disconnected from the other end.
Brat!
Bianca clenched her phone tightly, forcing a smile on her face, "Dom, Christopher is at the main gate."
As soon as Bianca finished speaking, she saw her brother's eyes darken. Although he didn't say anything, she had a premonition that she was in trouble.
Sure enough, a moment later, her brother heartlessly spoke up.
"Deduct one month of allowance."
Like a bolt from the blue.
Bianca covered her chest in sadness, about to force out tears of pity, but then suddenly thought of something and looked up.
Her brother said to deduct one month of allowance, not three, that was close.
Bianca immediately made a vow to assure, "Dom, I will take good care of Christopher in the future and won't let him be alone."
"Okay."
Her brother replied lightly, then added with a stern look, "Don't let Alessia get close to Christopher, if there's another time, deduct half a year of allowance."
"I promise to complete the mission."
Bianca just wanted to get past this matter. Without thinking, she nodded, but as soon as she nodded, she realized something was wrong.
Bianca's expression became serious, and she asked earnestly, "Dom, what about Alessia, has that woman returned?"
A hint of disgust appeared on Dominic's deadpan face, his voice cold as ice, "She's in the archive room."
"What?"
Bianca's mouth formed an 'O' shape in shock, images of Alessia's current appearance flashed through her mind, slender figure, delicate features, nowhere to be seen was the shadow of the former chubby girl.
She seriously doubted if she had misunderstood, but it was impossible.
Her brother, who had such self-control, wouldn't have acted if he hadn't encountered such a despicable and irresponsible woman like Alessia.
And during the confrontation at the resort hotel, when she first clashed with that woman, she felt that something was off.
Bianca stamped her foot in anger and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Dominic's voice was low.
"I'm going to avenge Christopher and slap that woman's face."
Bianca thought of how Alessia had abandoned Christopher and clenched her fist.
Her brat of a nephew, only she could bully him, even if she was his mom, she couldn't.
"Come back!" Dominic ordered.
"Dom!" Bianca, unusually unafraid of Dominic, pleaded.
"Come back, you're no match for her."
Dominic repeated, unable to help but touch his collarbone through his shirt, where Alessia had bitten him earlier, it was still slightly painful.
That woman was a bitch.
Although he didn't want to admit it, that woman was quite skilled.
Just now in the fight, she had managed to keep up with him.
He had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and few could last ten moves against him. This former wife of his was hiding her talents well.
...
Behind the orphanage, under a big tree, the three little ones had regrouped,
Christopher hung up the phone, his eyes as dark as black grapes, looked at his siblings beside him.
Christian rested his chin on his small hand, pacing as he analyzed.
"Although today's operation plan didn't meet expectations, the result is good. I believe after such intimate contact, their relationship will definitely deepen. They should be able to get back together soon!"
"Clap!" Eleanor's slender body clapped in place, applauding.
Christopher put his hands behind his back, making a final summary, "So today's plan is successfully concluded. Let's discuss the next steps later."
"Listen to you, Bro. Tonight we will still exchange roles with each other."
Eleanor nodded without objection, her eyes turning, she ran over, hugged Christopher's little arm, and looked at him with shining eyes, acting cute.
Christopher's body stiffened, still not used to such intimate contact, but he did not push Eleanor away.
"Okay." Christopher replied with a strained face, he still wanted to stay by Mommy's side.
After the three little ones finished discussing, Christopher carried his little backpack and, along with Eleanor, retraced their steps out of the orphanage. Christian headed towards the main entrance of the orphanage on his own.
Christian arrived at the entrance of the orphanage and saw his dad with his aunt from afar.
Christian's eyes lit up, and his little legs couldn't help but run towards them. He crashed into Dominic's long legs and rubbed against them happily.
"Dad, I'm back."
Dominic's heart softened, and he couldn't help but pick up his more cheerful son. However, he couldn't help but feel puzzled when he looked at the clothes his son had changed into.
"Christopher, made new friends?"
"Yeah, a pair of twins, a little girl named Eleanor, and a little boy named Christian. They're the same age as me." Christian mischievously blinked, half-truthfully.
Dominic looked at Bianca.
Bianca nodded, "I know Elle, but I don't know Christian."
Dominic nodded without showing any emotion, then turned and handed Christian over to Bianca.
Dominic watched as his sister and son got into the car, then turned to look at David.
"Check the background of Elle and Christopher, guard all the exits of the orphanage, and if anyone slips away, settle the wages from the finance department yourself!"
David hung his head without daring to breathe. He didn't know how Chiara La Rosa had become the former CEO's wife-Alessia La Rosa.
In the archive room.
Alessia had already learned from Director Julia why her grandfather hadn't left specific information.
It turned out that the information on the information board had been deliberately deleted.
Director Julia looked at Alessia sitting in front of the computer desk, hesitating to speak.
"Director Julia, just say whatever you have to say." Alessia raised her eyes.
Director Julia sighed and said, "Alessia, there's actually something I don't know if I should tell you... Your birth mother, she has never given up on finding you all these year."
"My birth mother?" Alessia raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." Director Julia explained, "Nine years ago, the last time I saw you was when you came back to the orphanage to talk about your birth mother. But in the end, you still refused to meet her."
Director Julia paused and moved a chair to sit next to Alessia, advising earnestly.
"Alessia, blood ties are indelible. Your birth mother has been trying to find out about you all these years. There must have been reasons why she abandoned you back then. If you have time, go and see her!"
Director Julia finished speaking and took out a business card from her pocket, placing it in front of her.
Alessia's eyes fell subconsciously on the exquisitely crafted gold-plated business card, Deputy General Manager of Ramirez's Group, Ava Ramirez.
Mom?
Alessia pursed her lips, took the business card, stood up respectfully, and bowed to Director Julia, "Thank you, I will consider your words."
Through their brief encounter, Alessia found that Director Julia was indeed a kind elder.
Although she had lost her memories, she still had to thank Director Julia for taking care of her in the past.
Director Julia patted her shoulder, his eyes moistening again.
Alessia left the archive room and didn't see Dominic along the way. She breathed a sigh of relief.
The dog man must have left for something.
But with the dog man's habits, he definitely wouldn't let her off so easily.
This time, Alessia also chose not to leave through the main gate, but to walk towards the back gate.
But just as she was halfway there, she was suddenly dragged behind a big tree by a hand that reached out.
