Therefore, Corinne decided to withdraw her kids from the kindergarten. She planned to give the kids stto rest at hbefore looking for another new kindergarten for them.
Early the next morning, Corinne set out with the kids after their breakfast.
At the kindergarten entrance, there was a balloon seller who resembled the sone she saw yesterday at the Carews' residence.
Corinne instinctively led the kids to take a detour to avoid the balloon seller and into the kindergarten.
Each of them went with their respective teachers to pack their belongings while Corinne went to handle the formalities with the principal.
The principal remained oblivious to Corinne's true identity. She simply exchanged pleasantries without making a real effort to convince Corinne to stay. After all, she did not want to offend the parents of the other child, whom she perceived as wealthier and more influential.

Corinne gazed at them calmly. "Get straight to the point you're blocking the road op other innocent people." Terry laughed savagely. "I don't care about them! I've been waiting here for days just to corner you!"
Corinne felt a sudden wave of disgust seeing a man like this. She could not fathom how such a foolish bestard could end up having a child and becoming a parent.
