The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1004

Claire said, "Please do not end the call yet. Please rate my service after the beep, press one for very satisfied, press two for satisfied, press three for not satisfied.”

Charlie wailed, "One! Very satisfied!" 4

Claire smiled gleefully and said, "Dear, thank you for your rating. This is the end of our conversation, see you again next time." i

That night, Charlie was tossing and turning, unable to sleep well. 5

Although he had only been upgraded a level, this was the first time he had shared a bed with Claire since their wedding. 1

Despite that, they were actually sleeping within the respective boundary. They used their own pillows and tugged in their own blankets.

Of course, Charlie didn't dare to cross the 38th parallel north between them. Otherwise, he would be extremely devastated if he was demoted one level in a n instant! 6

On the other hand, Claire couldn’t fall asleep too. She was very nervous and in jitters.

Her heart was thumping so violently it almost jumped out of her ribcage although she and Charlie slept in

their own blankets without even touching each other. 1

Well, after all, this was the first time she shared a bed with a man after she slept in a different room from her parents when she was a child. That explained her nervous feelings. 7

They spent a long time trying to fall asleep, their minds running wild with anxiety and confusion, and eventually, they fell asleep one after another.

"This morning, when the morning-shift matron in charge of infants and toddlers came to take over the shift with the night-shift matron, she found the nightshift matron unconscious and all ten children in the nursery gone! The matron is at the hospital now and the doctor said that she was given a strong anesthetic!" 1

Charlie’s face flushed with fury and resentment, he chided, "Who did such a brazen thing! How dare they kidnap the orphans?!” 6

Stephanie said while sobbing, "Actually, it has happened before, but we discovered their vile attempt in time to stop it. Human traffickers are very rampant nowadays-not only at the orphanage, but they also aim the children at the hospital, in people's houses, and even on the streets in broad daylight!" 1

Stephanie continued with a choking voice, "The main reason for this is that the trafficking business is too profitable and lucrative for them. They can easily trade each child for one hundred thousand. The rich and wealthy who cannot bear children are willing to pay a higher price for the good-looking ones...” 9

Charlie quickly asked, "So what's the situation now? Did you call the police?"

Stephanie replied, "Yes, Mrs. Lewis and the director have called the police this morning, and the case has been filed for investigation. But the police speculated that the night-shift matron was drugged at around 3 a m, which means the children were kidnapped four hours ago. They may have already left Aurous Hill or even the province in these four hours!"
