The time went back to when Catherine left the classroom. 

Initially, everything was normal. Catherine walked towards the water room. 

Sunny Kindergarten was the only kindergarten in the city with a separate water room. It specially appointed personnel to purchase expensive imported natural water, heated it in designed water bottles, stored it, and supplied it to the children attending the kindergarten. 

Even the teachers working at the school couldn’t drink the water 

Because the water room was connected to the cafeteria kitchen, Catherine passed by the kitchen when going to the water 

room. 

The little girl had a particularly keen nose. Every time she passed the kitchen, she intentionally walked a bit slower, sniffing with her small nose to know what fruits would be served during breaks and what meals would be prepared for lunch. 

This time was no exception. 

“Great, the dessert for today’s lunch is cheesecake.” 

Catherine licked her lips, extremely happy. Suddenly, a lit cigarette butt flew out and landed on her hair. 

Hearing a sizzling sound, as if the cigarette butt was burning her hair, Catherine instinctively jumped in fright. 

Scared, she screamed, vigorously shook her little head, and used her hand to pat the fire out. 

Finally, she managed to pat the cigarette butt onto the ground. 

It was still burning. 

Catherine stomped out the cigarette butt with her foot, infuriated. 

This was a smoke–free kindergarten, and no one was allowed to smoke inside. How could anyone randomly throw cigarette butts and damage her hair? 

“Come out.” The assertive little girl ran into the kitchen to catch the person. 

Strangely, the usually bustling kitchen was empty. 

Catherine was unwilling to accept this. She started searching while yelling, “Don’t hide. I’ve already seen you. I warn you. If you don’t come out, you’ll be in trouble.” 

The lingering threat was still in her throat when a very unkempt, tall, and thin man suddenly appeared in front of her. 

Catherine was startled and, at the same time, smelled a foul odor from the man. 

She realized that he was not a staff member in kindergarten because all the staff wore uniforms with badges indicating their position and name. 

“You? Who are you?” 

Catherine’s questioning seemed tough, but she was already feeling scared. 

Relying on her cursing skills, she prepared to curse the man. 

“Little girl, are you alone? Where’s your teacher?” The slimy and hasal–toned man continued to ask, eyeing Catherine with a

dubious look. 

He was a local punk. Yesterday, he lost all his money in gambling and, with no money to buy food, took a risky venture into this prestigious kindergarten to see if he could steal something. 

As he was starving, he decided to grab some food from the kitchen first. 

Thinking that after eating his fill and finding a place to hide until the children and teachers were all napping, he would then steal something valuable. 

He didn’t expect that, just as he was smoking, a child from a wealthy family would come to him. He immediately set his sights on the small hairpin on Catherine’s head. 

Despite its small size, it had four real diamonds, each of which was quite valuable. 

“Don’t come any closer.” Seeing the slimy man approaching, Catherine deliberately shouted, “My teacher is outside.” 

“Then let me take you to find your teacher.” The slimy man quickly strode over, going up to grab Catherine firmly. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Just as Catherine was about to scream, his foul–smelling hands covered her mouth. 

“No screaming, or I’ll beat you to death.” The punk threatened loudly. Catherine, scared, nodded vigorously like a frightened little bird.
