Chapter 504
With a quickened pace, Thalassa arrived at the daycare center. The clock was now pushing past seven in the evening,
The gate of the daycare was locked and there wasn’t a soul in sight.
Where could the children be?
Were they missing?
A string of unsettling thoughts raced through her mind. Thalassa’s heart pounded, causing a dizzy spell. Short of breath and
weak in the knees, she tried to calm herself down.
She mustn’t panic.
With an effort, Thalassa steadied her emotions and pulled out her phone to call the teacher.

“Camille, I’m at the daycare now, but there’s no one here,” Thalassa said, trying to keep her voice steady despite her inner
turmoil.
“The kids were picked up by their grandma. Didn’t they make it home?” Camille’s voice came from the other end of the line.
Hearing this, Thalassa let out a sigh of relief, “Sorry for the confusion. I just haven’t made it home yet. If their grandma picked
them up, then it’s all good. Thanks, Camille.”
“You’re welcome.”
Hanging up the phone, Thalassa was about to call for a cab to Vibrant Oasis Residences when she remembered the necklace
she was wearing.
With the necklace on her, he would let her go wherever she wanted.
The daycare was close to her current residence.
Thalassa decided not to rush home, instead, she went to her rented place, removed the necklace, and left it in the entryway.
Only then did she leave for Vibrant Oasis Residences.
Meanwhile, in the rented house of Vibrant Oasis Residences, Evelyn was busy with household chores while the four children
secluded themselves in a room.
Atticus huddled over a tablet, his small fingers flying over the keyboard.
The screen was filled with rolling codes and numbers. His little face was serious and focused.
His siblings watched in awe; their faces were filled with admiration and curiosity. Even though they couldn’t understand, they
watched attentively.
Over the past few days, Atticus had managed to break through the Sinclair Group’s firewall. Now, the main task was to infiltrate
the Sinclair Group’s financial system and re-route some funds.
With Atticus’ quick and precise keystrokes, he successfully infiltrated the Sinclair Group’s financial system. The next step was to
re-route the funds.
How much should they take?
Atticus typed in a 1 followed by nine zeros in the number box. Then he entered their mother’s bank account number.
When Hertha transferred money to Thalassa, Atticus had asked for Thalassa’s bank account number. Hertha had only
mentioned it once but Atticus remembered.
Once everything was entered, he clicked the enter key.
With the progress bar reaching 100%, a message popped up saying, “Congratulations, funds transferred!”
Mission accomplished!
The final step was to hide their IP address and safely log out.
While Atticus was concentrating, Elowen, the little foodie, grew bored. She opened a bag of potato chips, ate one herself, and
then fed one to Dorian and another to Sophia.
