Chapter 355
In the following days, Rosalynn was fully committed to perfecting the FreshBite project.
Ivy and Cory, one painting and the other coding, the family of three busied themselves with their own
stuff without interfering with each other.
Until…
One day during lunch, Laura pushed open the door of Ivy’s painting studio to call her for lunch, only to
find that Ivy was missing.
At first, Laura thought Ivy was probably playing in some corner of the house.
It was only after she searched the whole house and couldn’t find Ivy that she gradually realized the
seriousness of the situation.
She immediately called Calvin, who, upon learning that Ivy was missing, quickly accessed the
surveillance system in their home.
After seeing the footage, they were almost scared to death.
The surveillance showed that Ivy went to the park at 7:30 that day and returned at 8:40. Twenty
minutes later, she changed her clothes, put on a little hat, and carried her favorite little bag out the back
door.

Even the usually stoic Calvin was anxiously blushing.
He immediately called Rosalynn.
Unfortunately, at this time, Rosalynn’s team was in a closed-door meeting with all their phones on
silent.
“What’s going on?”
At this moment, Cory heard the noise and came downstairs.
Laura’s face was streaked with snot and tears as she turned to Cory, her voice trembling with sobs. “Ivy
has run away from home!”
As she spoke, Laura’s tears intensified, flowing freely down her cheeks.
“It’s all my fault! Ivy specifically told me not to go near the painting studio, and I neglected to check on
her for three whole hours!! How could I be so foolish?”
Cory’s brow furrowed, his displeasure evident as he responded, “Do you think crying will solve
anything?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll increase manpower right now and search everywhere!” Calvin said seriously.
Ivy had managed to get lost even with him at home! xo.com fast update
It was simply…
A stain on his professional career.
Three hours… So much could’ve happened.
Car accidents, kidnappings, organ harvesting…
Calvin was practically suffocating!
“What happened this morning at the park?” Cory asked solemnly.
Ivy wouldn’t just run away from home for no reason.
She was still chattering happily with him about a gorgeous color she had mixed at breakfast.
How could she suddenly run away from home?
“This morning…this morning…” Laura was trying hard to calm herself, “Just like before, Ivy said hi to
the elderly people and then went to pet the dogs and cats…Oh, right!”
“Oh, right!”
Laura and Calvin exclaimed in unison.
Then Calvin continued, “When we came back, we found a litter of kittens in the bushes. We heard that
their mother had been run over by a car. Some kind-hearted people took three of them, but there was
still one left that didn’t look very healthy… Ivy squatted there for a long time. She even called some

Cory furrowed his brow, feeling responsible for the fact that Ivy would have brought the kitten home if it
weren’t for him.
“And then what happened?” he asked.
“We just went back home.”
Ivy stared at the kitten and wiped away her tears. Suddenly, she expressed her desire to return home,
so the three of them headed back.
However, twenty minutes later, Ivy ran away from home!
“Where exactly are those bushes?” Cory inquired.
Calvin carefully recollected the location.
Cory swiftly went upstairs, turned on his computer, and hacked into the park’s security management
office, transferring the surveillance footage to his computer.
“Is this it?” Cory asked, pointing to a specific window after reviewing the footage.

“Yes! That’s the place!” Calvin affirmed.
Calmly, Cory opened the window and quickly rewound the footage.
At 9:14, Ivy appeared in the surveillance footage, wearing little rain boots, overalls, and a small hat.
“Ivy!” Calvin exclaimed, “She’s indeed searching for the kitten!”
Cory remained silent, deep in thought.
