?Chapter 264:


    Despite their wounds and bruises, Alex and his gang of thugs remained formidable bullies to someone as vulnerable as Derek. Surrounded by these men, Derek instantly crumbled in terror. “Do you… do you recognize who I am?” he stammered. Regrettably, no one spared him a nce


    Alex delivered the initial blow, sending Derek crashing to the ground, followed swiftly by the rest of the thugs who rained punches and kicks upon him. “Ah! Ouch!” Derek’s cries of agony filled the air


    Marissa observed with indifference and remarked, “That’s sufficient. Let’s not end his life.”


    With that, she departed. Leaving the Brando Hotel behind, she didn’t hurry back to the Sanchez family’s house. Instead, she visited several kindergartens. Daryl was right; Lawrence and Lindsay, at the age of four, ought to be enrolled in a kindergarten


    Based on the ounts of the two kids, their prior living situation had involved a solitary caregiver and minimal interaction with others, prompting concerns about potential social anxiety. Irrespective of their previous circumstances, now under her care, she was determined to provide them with a nurturing environment conducive to both living and learning

    Her aspiration was for them to attend a top-tier kindergarten, where they could engage with peers their age and enjoy a typical childhood experience. When the time came to return the two well-adjusted and delightful children to Tiffany, it was certain to evokefort and joy from her. After evaluating several esteemed kindergartens, Blossom Kindergarten emerged as the best choice. Renowned as the premier high-end kindergarten in Blebert, it boasted unparalleled facilities and faculty, albeit apanied by steep tuition fees. The high tuition fees didn’t faze her; she possessed ample financial resources


    As their biological aunt, she had no qualms about investing in Lawrence and Lindsay. After departing from Blossom Kindergarten, she hailed a taxi to return to the Sanchez family’s residence. During the journey, she messaged Joziah Aston, “Has Ritapleted her maintenance and upgrade?”


    Joziah promptly responded, “Boss, Rita’s maintenance and upgrade are finished. Shall I dispatch her to Blebert now?”


    Marissa instructed, “Yes, please send Rita to Blebert as swiftly as possible. I have a task for her.”


    Joziah replied, “Understood, boss. I’ll arrange air transport immediately. You’ll see Rita before long.”


    Marissa smiled contentedly as she stowed her phone away. It had been several months since shestid eyes on Rita, and she found herself missing her dearly. She had personally developed and designed Rita, a household robot epitomizing the pinnacle of technological advancement in its domain. If Rita didn’t disclose her identity herself, discerning her robotic nature posed a formidable challenge for observers. Rita stood as Marissa’s impable household aide


    Before undergoing maintenance and upgrades, Rita efficiently managed all daily chores. Marissa found employing Rita markedly more convenient and pleasant than relying on human assistance. The presence of a male assistant often resulted in numerous inconveniences, while a female assistant left heavy and soiled tasks neglected. Rita adeptly resolved all these issues and apprehensions. Fromundering to culinary tasks, from parcel retrievals to housecleaning, and even moving furniture and addressing plumbing issues, Rita capably handled every responsibility. Additionally, Rita operated tirelessly, offering round-the-clock surveince like a miniature security system. Concerns regarding betrayal or breaches of confidential data were nonexistent; Rita strictly adhered to programmed codes, ensuring unwavering loyalty even in the face of destruction


    This time, she urgently summoned Rita to safeguard Lawrence and Lindsay. The mastermind and conspiracy behind Lawrence and Lindsay’s sudden appearance remained obscure, and with Remy now offended, the safety of the two children waspromised. Entrusting Rita with their protection proved the most secure recourse


    The way back to the Sanchez family’s vi transpired without incident. As Marissa disembarked from the vehicle and prepared to enter the vi, three figures unexpectedly sprang out from the shadows
