After finishing her sentence, Edith turned around and gave the receptionist a look that hinted she wanted them gone. Edith then straightened her back and walked into the elevator.
"Hey, Ms. Price. What did you mean when you said we'd have a better chance looking for Willow at the police station?" Rachel ran after Edith to get an answer.
However, the receptionist stopped her. "I'm truly sorry. Mr. Hughes' nephews did in fact cause a lot of trouble when they went to find him in his office the last time. I'm afraid I cannot let you barge in for no reason," she said apologetically.
The receptionist also liked the two children. Who would not like adorable, pretty, and smart children like them?
Unfortunately, she was here to work. She could not abuse her authority.
Rachel looked at the receptionist for a moment. She seemed like a nice person. Rachel did not want to make things difficult for her.
"Regardless of what happened, thanks for your help," Rachel said before waving at Julian and Tristan. "Let's go."
Tristan hopped off the bench and walked over to Rachel. Rachel held his hand with one hand and Julian's with the other.
"Let's look for Willow at the police station," Rachel said in a worried tone.
Julian was also very worried about his mother. He frowned. "Poor Mommy. She didn't spread any rumors. Why did they still arrest her?"
"She couldn't find any evidence, and that's why she went to Mr. Hughes for the surveillance footage. However, Mr. Hughes wasn't around, and that secretary was such a pain to deal with." Rachel felt angry at the thought of Edith.
"Oh, my adorable, charming, and mischievous mother. I feel bad for her," Julian said softly with a tender and loving voice.
Rachel was smitten with him. She rubbed his head. "I think you're the most mischievous person around."
They had managed to insult Edith and leave her speechless earlier. It felt amazing.
