Lily Zhao dragged her son forward the moment she saw Edith and Hazel walked out of the vehicle. Her gaze shifted towards the little girl and her gaze was scanning her with concern. "Hazel, are you alright?"

Hazel stared at Lily with a puzzled look and nodded. "Mrs. He, I'm alright."

"Fortunately, you are safe," Lily pulled Hazel into a hug. "We saw the news. Auntie and Alex are worried."

Lily was shocked upon seeing the news on the evening news. She grabbed her phone and immediately called Edith to check on the little girl. Though Edith had assured her that Hazel was alright, Lily was still worried.

After all, Hazel was just a little girl. The experience was too frightening and traumatic.

"Un, un," Alex nodded at his mother's side. "I saw the news with my mother. Hazel, were you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid," Hazel said. She glanced at her teacher and held her hand tightly. "Teacher Qian saved me from that bad person. With Teacher Qian around, I don't have to be afraid."

Edith smiled at the little girl's words and patted her hair.

"Teacher Qian is awesome, right?" Lily heaved a sigh. "Let me tell you a secret. In the past, Teacher Qian had saved me from bad guys too. There were a few of them, but Teacher Qian was very powerful. With some moves, those bad guys scattered away."

Whenever Lily was reminded of her first encounter with Edith in Z Town, a hint of admiration would always appear in her eyes. She was surrounded by a few guys with bad intentions and she did not know how to escape. Edith had appeared and saved her.

Her appearance was very suave. Lily had a thought that if Edith was a guy, she would definitely fall for her. It took Lily a few years to get immune to Edith's charm and she finally moved on when she met her husband, Ethan He.

Hazel shifted her gaze towards her teacher again. The admiration in her eyes mirrored was almost the same as Lily's. It turned out that her teacher would always help someone in need. She had now considered her favorite teacher as a superhero!

Edith ushered both Hazel and Alex into the school and went back to find Lily and the two friends exchanged a few words regarding the kidnapping incident.

Hearing that both Hazel and Edith were fine, Lily was relieved.

"But Lily, something else happened yesterday," Edith spoke after a moment of hesitation. Her hands gripped at her clothes tightly.

"What happened?" Lily asked. She saw the strange way her friend was acting and started to worry. "What is it?"

"I—I drank some beer in President Mo's presence," Edith admitted and lowered her gaze.

Lily's eyes widened and her mouth gaped as she sucked in some air. "You… didn't I remind you to be careful?"

"I was not expecting President Mo to return home soon," Edith looked at her friend with a pitiful gaze.

Lily heaved a long breath and looked at her friend with a scrutinizing gaze. Her eyes narrowed upon realizing the most important thing about this situation. "Alright, just tell me. What did you do to President Mo?"

"I called him Iceblock Mo while I was drunk." Her voice grew smaller towards the end.

Lily stared at her friend in disbelief. "Edith Qian, I knew that you are a courageous person, but I did not expect you to be this courageous! What else did you do?"

"That's it. According to President Mo, that was all that I do."

"So what now? Is he planning to fire you?"

"No," Edith shook her head. "He said that he still needs me to look after Hazel as Nanny Ann was still recuperating from her injury."

"Since he's not going to fire you over this, you should be relieved," Lily said. "Just remember not to drink a sip as long as you are staying under the same roof. Or else, who knows what you are going to say or do next?"

Edith nodded, but could not be at ease.

Although Neil had said that he would forgive her for calling him with that name just this once, Edith had noticed a slight change in Neil. That man seemed to be avoiding her ever since that night.

If both Chairman Mo and Mrs. Mo were not around to spend time with Hazel, Edith thought that she probably would not have the chance to see that man's face at all.

Somehow Edith had a feeling that Neil was keeping a secret from her. She must have done or said something worst to Neil on that night. Or else, he would not try to avoid her, right?

However, no matter how hard Edith tried to think about it, nothing would came to her mind.

Just what did she do on that night that she got herself drunk?

…

MH Group Headquarter

As the employee arrived in the company, everyone started to discuss the incident where the little miss was almost kidnapped by Edward Xiao.

A few of them could not help but express their sympathy towards Edward Xiao as he will definitely have to be punished after doing something stupid. He was initially forced to leave the company after he was caught embezzling the company's money.

President Mo was generous enough to fire him and did not choose to sue him in court for his crime.

He should leave L City and start again in a smaller city, but instead, he tried to kidnap the young miss and cause trouble.

If Edward had a brain, he should not be thinking of doing such a thing!

But now that he was caught, it would be hard for Edward to escape his punishment.

As Neil walked into the lobby with Assistant Shawn following him closely, he immediately heard the staff talking about the incident last weekend.

His steps halted and Neil turned around to look at the others. Suddenly, the surroundings turned very quiet and no one around him spoke a word. The staff lowered their gaze in fear that their President was going to scold them for gossiping.

A deep frown appeared on Neil's face as he saw this situation.

Suddenly, the name 'Iceblock Mo' appeared in his mind, and Neil could not help but recall the reason why Edith had called him that name.

The air around him turned cold and stiff as long as he was around?

When he heard it from Edith the last time, Neil had thought that the woman was exaggerating. However, looking at the situation around him, it seemed to be true.

Was he that cold?

His eyes flashed dangerously and Neil let out a chuckle before he turned around and entered the elevator, leaving the staff who were still in the lobby to tremble in fear.
