Chapter 309
Although everyone loved to watch the fun, they were still reliable when it came to serious matters
After hearing that the woman had lost her child, the first reaction of those who brought their children was to hold their own children tight and then look around to help find the boy
Some people even began to comfort the woman.
“Don’t worry. There are a lot of people here. Maybe he got pushed away”
“Yes, we’ll help look. Your grandson’s name is Adam, right?”
Although so many people were talking to her, the woman didn’t listen. Her eyes blackened and her body swayed Fortunately, someone was supporting her
After regaining her footing, the first thing she did was accuse someone else.
She looked at Grave, who was holding Yvonne, suddenly stretched out her hand, and cursed him fiercely. “It’s yout You’re the kidnapper!”
The crowd froze, baffled by the sudden accusation.
But the woman’s words were well–founded and she even made up the whole process in her mind.
“You deliberately bumped into me! While we were arguing, your accomplice must’ve snatched my grandson away!”
This was indeed a tactic that kidnappers would use
Before anyone could figure it out, the woman’s tone changed, and she pointed at Yvonne in his arms.
“This child hasn’t spoken yet. You must have abducted her too!”
Hearing this, Yvonne, who was afraid of being made into potato chips, put down the hand that was covering her face, and pointed at herself with her short fingers, looking dumbfounded and dazed.
“But I wasn’t trafficked.”
She knew what trafficking meant; her brothers often taught her at home not to talk to strangers outside and things like that.
After a while, she understood.
Seeing the looks from the people around her, Yvonne thought for a moment and decided to explain.
She said to the angry woman, her voice soft and sweet, “Mr. Sterling is my u
uncle; he’s not a bad guy.”
Her earnest defense melted the hearts of the onlookers.
Earlier, her face had been hidden, but now that it was revealed, the crowd was utterly enchanted.
“What a cute child!”
The onlookers couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“You are so cute, little one. You could be in movies,”
“What kind of parents could have such a cute child? I’m envious. I want to take you home.”

It wasn’t that no one had ever complimented Venne before, but never by such an overwhelming crowed. The continuous stream of compliments washed over her like WAVEL.
She was a little embarrassed, a flicker of bewilderment and shyness flashing through her big round eyes.
After being shy for a while, Yvonne opened bet mouth and said softly. “Thank you”
The surrounding compliments grew louder.
“Wew, she can even say thank you. How cute!”
Grave glanced down at her impassively before pressing her head back down with his hand.
It was quite strange, he had just wanted to stab this reasonable woman, but after Yvonne spoke two sentences, he inexplicably gave up the idea,
It was like she possessed some kind of magic.
This wasn’t the first time Grave had experienced this. Ons several occasions when he’d been following Yvonne, tired and wanting to call it a day, dark thoughts would surface,
Like secretly collecting dead bugs to scatter along her pati
Then, when she saw them and got scared, he’d appear to say the area was full of bugs and it was time to go home, allowing him to take her back to play games and nap.
But each time he prepared to place the bugs, she’d look up at him with those clear, guileless eyes, and he’d hesitate.
He was a very decisive person, and he didn’t know what was wrong with him.
He even began to reflect on whether his methods were too dirty and whether he would scare Yvonne and traumatize her.
In the end, those dead bugs had died for nothing
Grave despised himself for being so indecisive,
Whenever Grave questioned himself about why he felt this way, he would firmly tell himself, ‘It must be because Yvonne is Tinley’s daughter, and I’m afraid of Tinley finding out. After all, that woman treasures Yvonne like her own life,
‘Plus, Tinley isn’t easy to fool. If Yvonne accidentally let it slip that he had scared her with dead bugs, he’d be in for another scolding.
“Yes, it must be because of this!‘
It definitely wasn’t because he found Yvonne too adorable to go through with it.
Or perhaps… this was just another form of mutual tolerance.
Unable to bring himself to do it, he could only endure and follow her around.
Now, it was the same situation. After stuffing Yvonne’s head back, he turned to the relentless middle–aged woman with a cold face.
He only said three words, concise and to the point, “Call the police.”
The moment he said this, most of the onlookers mentally absolved him of suspicion
After all, they had never heard of a kidnapper voluntarily suggesting calling the police. His willingness to do so suggested he had nothing to hide. Combined with the presence of such an adorable child by his side, his credibility shot up significantly.

So everyone persuaded the woman as he saidd
“Call the police and let them handle it.”
64%%
“Yes, if the child was just pushed away by the crowd, it’s fine. But if it really was a kidnapping, reporting it sooner is better?
“Her phone was thrown earlier. Ill call,” offered a kind–hearted woman nearby.
Hearing the lady’s words, the woman suddenly went crazy and rushed over, snatching the phone from her hand.
The lady thought she was too anxious and wanted to talk to the police in person, so instead of feeling offended, she changed her mind about the woman
From what had happened just now, the woman was an unreasonable person who liked to twist the truth and take advantage
of others.
But knowing how much the woman loved her grandson, she felt that this person was not so bad.
At least in the eyes of her grandson, she was a good grandmother.
But the next second, the woman did something completely unexpected.
She hung up the phone.
A beep rang out, and the lady heard it clearly. The call had indeed been disconnected.
She said in disbelief, “What are you doing? Don’t waste time. Call the police as soon as possible. Every second counts for the child’s safety
After she finished speaking, the woman put away her phone.
“No police!” she snarled, glaring fiercely at the crowd. Her tone was commanding, as if used to giving orders. “No one calls the police!”
If the police got involved, her son would find out she had neglected her grandson while arguing with strangers. That would inevitably lead to a huge fight.
The woman only had this one son. Her domineering attitude at home relied entirely on him being a mama’s boy who always took her side.
But compared to her grandson, her son was still slightly less important.
If she didn’t have a good relationship with her son, there would be no one to take care of her in her old age.
Her daughter–in–law already despised her, probably even wishing she’d be thrown out onto the street, let alone care for her.
So calling the police was absolutely out of the question.
