Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Wrongly Recognizing Father
The little girl was sincere, causing the security to feel a pang of pity.
With a sigh, he could only helplessly say, "Kid, this is Mr. Battleson’s order, there’s nothing I can do."
After a pause, he added, "You should go back and tell your mom to focus on her work, stop trying to influence things through relationships."
Grace Thompson didn’t understand the meaning of these words.
But Cyrus Thompson understood quite clearly.
This guard’s implication was that they were all frauds, and their mom was the mastermind of all the fake acts.
Considering this, Cyrus felt resentful on behalf of Charlotte Thompson.
No one could just throw around accusations and slander his mother.
Just as Cyrus was about to defend himself, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor echoed from behind, seemingly hurried.
He turned around to see Charlotte Thompson approaching with a smile.
Although the smile didn’t reach her eyes, it carried an inexplicable strangeness.
"Mr. Security Guard, you can leave now, I know what’s happening here, Mr. Battleson asked me to handle it."
Charlotte Thompson stood in front of the children, turned around to speak to the security guard.
As she spoke, she pulled Cyrus behind her.
"Miss Thompson? It’s you. That’s great, I was worrying about how to escort them to the police station later!"
The security guard’s joy was evident upon seeing her.
"It’s fine, I will take them there, it’s nearly time for your shift change, right? I won’t trouble you further"
Charlotte speaks with an easy dignity, a smile on her face.
"Ok, but these kids really look pitiable. Looks like they were used by an adult," the guard furrows his brow, his expression becoming slightly serious.
"If you can meet their mother, you should give a good talking-to. What’s wrong with doing honest work? Why let their children run around claiming random men as their father, it’s outrageous!"
The guard spoke, looking a bit angry.
Charlotte felt herself being subtly made fun of, but she still had the same smile, and replied, "Yes, it’s a strange world we live in."
"Alright then, we’ll go for our shift change. Take care, Miss Thompson."
With that, the security guard led the others back to change shift.
However, the moment the guard turned his back, Charlotte’s face changed.
The children calmed down upon seeing Charlotte.
They stopped causing a ruckus, all standing in a row, quietly waiting.
This sight surprised the young woman at the front desk to no end.
But considering Charlotte’s professional demeanor, she didn’t say more.
Everyone in the Riley Group knew that Charlotte has been publicly defended by Justin Battleson.
She must have been sent here by him.
But if the children were really being sent to the police station, that would be a pity.
The kids are so young, one could only wonder if they would be scared.
Just as Hank Thompson was about to say "mom...", he opened his mouth but no sound came out.
Yep, his mouth was immediately blocked up by Grace who was standing next to him.
Grace blinked her big, beautiful eyes and obediently said, "Hello, Auntie."
The children behind followed suit and called out, "Hello, Auntie."
Hank quickly pulled away Grace’s hand, giving a sheepish smile to let her know that he understood his mistake.
Then he looked up at Charlotte, revealing a row of pearly white teeth with his wide smile, "Hello, Auntie, you are so beautiful. Are you here to take us to see our dad?"
