Chapter 939
"No way, you promised to pick me up tonight!" Leo whined, clinging to the pillar. "I wanna stay with Angela. I'm not done having fun yet!"
Lily jumped in too, "Mom, you said we could stay until seven!"
The kids at the kindergarten adored the Winston Family's children. Angela was cute as a button, Todd was the smart one, Keith was like the big brother everyone needed, and Owen was the kindergarten's lucky charm. Today, most of the neighborhood kids were there.
The wealthy moms at the door were instantly drawn to Haley, who was coming down the stairs.
Even with two scars on her face, Haley's beauty was still breathtaking, making it hard for anyone to look away.
Haley had this natural grace, both elegant and laid-back.
"Don't worry. After the party, I'll have the driver take the kids home safely," Haley said with a smile. "It's rare for the kids to have a party together, so let them play a little longer."
Her voice had this husky tone, like she had just woken up.
The wealthy moms had mixed feelings. Despite all the drama online, Haley still managed to sleep soundly.
Now, netizens were painting Haley as some kind of violent maniac. The wealthy moms were worried their kids might get hurt here, which was why they rushed over to pick them up.
But Haley's gentle demeanor was nothing like her online persona.
Leo's mom forced a smile and said, "Leo's grandma is here to see him. Leo, come on, let's go home!"
Whether the online rumors were true or not, it was better to steer clear of Haley for now.
Leo was a bit bummed out.
Todd spoke calmly, "You should go home first. There will be plenty of chances for parties in the future."
Leo pouted, "Todd, are you lying to me?"
"When has Todd ever lied?" Lily said, "So it's settled then. You have to invite us to the next party!"
The kids reluctantly left with their parents.
Owen sighed. Just when the party was getting interesting, it got cut short. What a drag!
Todd glanced at him indifferently. "In a week, you'll officially take over the company. Before that, you should read more books on business management."
Then he looked up at Haley. "Mom, is there anything you need help with?"
He could make Hollis's live video disappear from the internet.
"I've already taken care of it," Ivan said calmly. "You guys go on and have fun."
Haley looked puzzled. "Did something happen?"
"Nothing important," Ivan said, wrapping his arm around her waist. "I want to eat a dinner you cooked. Go make us a meal, please."
Haley had a vague idea. It seemed a lot had happened while she was asleep.
She nodded, put on an apron, and headed to the kitchen. Since Ivan didn't want her to know, she'd pretend she didn't.
With Ivan around, everything would be taken care of. She just needed to keep her cool.
"Dad, can we talk?" Todd asked firmly, looking up.
Ivan nodded calmly. "Let's go to the study."
The two of them walked upstairs.
Owen whispered in Keith's ear, "Keith, what do you think Todd wants to talk to Dad about?"
Keith pursed his lips. In Todd's world, only Haley and Angela mattered. He was definitely going to talk about Haley.
