Chapter 186 The Results of the Investigation
Charles, the owner of the Children's amusement park, had taken a keen interest in Ivy ever since she and her children dressed up as mermaids and went swimming.
While watching the live stream, Charles remarked to his assistant, "This woman is extraordinary. I'm determined to hire her and her daughter as the brand ambassadors for the Children's amusement park at any cost. Instruct all staff to do everything in their power to ensure the safety of both her and her daughters and to make every effort to apprehend the human trafficker."
Thomas, Hannah's boss, saw Ivy on the live stream and had a sudden realization. "It's her! So these six children are her kids!"
Immediately, Thomas called Hannah.
In a stern voice, Thomas commanded. "Hannah, you must not harm those two children. I want them to stay alive!"
Hannah sneered. "I no longer wish to work for you. I want to start my own business!"
Subsequently, Hannah threw her phone directly into the crocodile pool.
The reason she had been so devoted to Thomas was her hope that one day he would teach her the secret technique of eternal youth.
But after striving for so many years, Thomas had not taught her even a single move. It would be better now to exchange the two children with Ivy for a quick solution.
Alexander and Ethan were also watching the live stream. Ethan said, "Mr. Ashford, Ivy is in such trouble. Should we really stand idly by?"
Alexander's gaze turned cold. "I asked you to investigate the situation. How is your investigation going? Why did Ivy go to the Children's amusement park?"
Ethan replied, "Mr. Ashford, I have already investigated. Ivy went to the Children's amusement park because they were hiring mermaids. With the children starting school, Ivy didn't have enough money for their tuition fees. It seems that the six children would require 21 thousand dollars.
"So, in order to earn more money, she wanted her children to act like mermaids along with her. However, while getting into the water, she encountered Emily, who was also there for an audition. Out of jealousy, Emily pushed Ivy's children into the water.
"In the end, Emily was eliminated, and Ivy passed the audition. But the Children's amusement park was only willing to pay for one person, trying to take advantage of Ivy's six children. Ivy refused the job.
"Afterward, it was reported that Ivy's two children went missing, allegedly abducted by a human trafficker. Ivy sought help from Michael's livestream, asking his fans to assist in finding her children. That's the situation."
In fact, Ethan's words were all information he gathered from a phone call with Maria. He was too busy and had no time to investigate on-site.
Ethan asked Maria, and naturally, Maria had to speak well of Ivy and explain her financial difficulties.
Financial difficulties? Alexander glanced at the 700 thousand dollars he had prepared to give to Ivy, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Originally, he had given her the card, but the results of the paternity test showed that the six children were not biologically related to him. Coincidentally, news of a fugitive human trafficker was playing on the TV, and he mistook Ivy for a human trafficker, so he took back the card.
Now, all the signs indicated that Ivy was not a human trafficker.
Since she wasn't, how awkward it was to have taken back that card?
Even if the six children weren't his biological children, what was wrong with offering some support to Ivy? The Ashford family engaged in so much charity every year, so why would they lack 700 thousand dollars?
Thinking of this, Alexander deeply regretted it. He picked up the coffee cup, feeling its tastelessness as he drank.
"Mr. Ashford, there's something else I want to tell you," Ethan said apologetically, "We may have misunderstood Ivy. The rumors about Ivy in the Center Hospital were all spread by Emily alone. Her colleagues saw the video of her pushing the little mermaids into the water and no longer believed her words.
"Moreover, the doctor who conducted the paternity test for you is actually Emily's suitor. He has done many foolish things to please Emily and everyone at the hospital knows about it. Therefore, it's highly possible that he tampered with the paternity test for Emily's sake.
"The Center Hospital director just called me specifically, saying that they can arrange for another doctor to redo the paternity test for you. If the result is different from before, he will immediately dismiss Emily and her suitor..."
Alexander suddenly dropped the cup from his hand, shattering it on the floor.
