The Billionaire's Kept Woman-Chapter 382 - The Growth
Johanna was perfectly on time every time she arrived in the office. She doesn't waste much time. As soon as she sat on Keira's swivel chair, the door in the showroom opened. A man in his casual clothes, Polo Shirt, denim pants, leather shoes, and a cap walked toward the sofa. He sat down, with the grace of a man. Then, he crossed his legs and picked the folder.
"I am leaving in an hour. Are you ready, Hannah?" he asked.
"Yes, Papa." She stood from her swivel chair, bent down, set up the code to her drawer, and took out the box. She went around to the sofa across from him. Carefully placing the wooden box over the coffee table and she showed the gun and the bullets to him. "This is a temporary drug that would deactivate the nanomites in Victor's head. Violet is currently revising the destructive nanomites in Victor's blood."
He picked up the glass bullet. Once that it was aimed at the target. The pin will automatically stick to the skin and the chemicals will quickly drain.
"We might not be able to retrieve his body in one shot. But this will help him get his memories back. It was a perfect cure for dementia."
"I know you will achieve it," Henry said. "But Hannah, you are my daughter. Your mom was worried although we don't have a choice about this. You are the only one who could get him back. But getting him back won't stop them." He carefully put it back. "The Serpent was the greatest enemy of the Kingdom. They have all of the old files that belong to the country."
"Papa, killing all of them will do, right?"
"Yes," He smiled bitterly. "But we aren't a God or a saint. I don't know if there's a way not to get involved in any war with them."
"I think it's late, Papa." Johanna crossed her arms. "If the Serpent was helping the Charles Empire, there's a possibility that they might conquer the little Kingdom again." She reached her temple and chuckled. "Who would run this company if I went out on the mission?" She asked.
"I will handle it. I will have Keira work on the background through Ian."
"Will Ian handle it?" She asked. "His wife is pregnant and he's currently the adviser of the Queen."
"He can handle it. He's just lazy." He grinned. "Anyway," he took out an envelope from his pocket and gave it to her. "Please look further to this person. I bet that she's Jeremy Cha. I caught him many times."
Johanna opened the envelope and pulled out the photos. His eyes widened and stared at the photos.
"This is a~~" She creased her brows and stared at her father, confused. Henry nodded his head and smirked.

Keira was reading a few documents while Kal was busy playing with the set of cooking toys that can be used to cook but in mini-way. She creased her brows when reading the financial statements. Some allowances were cut off from Alicia. So, she quickly called Johanna. Jo might haven't reviewed it yet since she's busy investigating and managing the company.
The phone was ringing and after five rings, she answered.
"Jo,"
"Yes?"
"I saw that Alicia's allowance has been cut off. Please check other artists about this. Although it was only one percent, it is still big."
"I will have my secretaries check on this. Probably will scowl the one who makes this."
"Yes, do that. Alicia and other artists work hard for that." Keira said with a sigh. She glanced at Kal who was putting fake foods over the small plate and gave it to Dion.
"I will check on that, darling. By the way, how's my baby doing?"
"They are doing well." She told him. "Kal is serving Dion a dish that he prepared."
"Ohh, that's cute." Johanna giggled.
"They are playing in a restaurant or something," Keira told her. It seemed that Dion grabbed something and curiously stared at it with complete concentration.
"Egg," Kal told her. "Bacon!" He exclaimed and gave the plastic bacon to Quinn.
"I have a meeting now. I will set this up."
"Okay," Keira said.
"Send kisses to Kal and Quinn."
"I will."
Keira hung up and watched Kal take the sunny-side-up plastic egg from Quinn's hand.
"No, eat." He said and put it back. "Tata, Kin-kin foodie."
"She can't eat yet. But she can have milk." Keira told him.
"Milk." He bounced his head. He turned his head to Maxine who had a tray of food and Quinn's bottle of milk. He quickly rushed to her, looked up at her, and waited for her to give him his food. Keira stood and took the tray since Maxine was pregnant and it was hard for her to bend down.
She carefully placed the tray over the coffee table. Kal excitedly reached Quinn's baby bottle and approached her in the carrier. He opened the bottle and fed her.
"Hold," Kal said. All that time, Keira was already filming Kal. "Hold, Kin-kin." He said as he reached her hand to lead it to the bottle. Quinn seemed to be too lazy to hold her baby bottle. "Ay!" Kal frowned. "Kin-kin, hold."
Keira giggled as he let Kal struggle over his baby cousin. After a while, she finally decided to move closer to Quinn and hold the bottle. The bottle was already half. Then, Kal sighed and walked back to the coffee table.
"Drink your water first." Maxine helped Kal with her baby cup and then Kal quickly picked up the bun that they made. He took a bite and chewed it carefully then he hummed and nodded his head.
"Foodie!" He said excitedly and then he went to Quinn to show it to her. "Kin-kin, d-licious. Eat?" He asked.
"Love, she can't eat that yet," Keira said softly and wiped Kal's cheeks.
"Oh," Kal looked sad for a moment. Then, he went back to Maxine to have his juice. "Nam-Nam!" he exclaimed.
Keira looked at the hall where Violet had just arrived with lots of toys and food.
"Mimi!" Kal screamed and ran to her still holding the bun. Violet put down the paper bag so she could hug him. She quickly hugged him and lifted him. Violet makes sure that the bun won't get on her hair. "Bun-bun." He extended it to her and she took a bite. "Nam-Nam!" He exclaimed. Then, Violet gave her a lot of kisses.
"Do you miss Mommy?"
"Miss~~miss." He kissed her cheek.
"I missed you more."
Violet put Kal down and then, she picked up the toys and groceries. Terrence came shortly and picked it up for her. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂
"You should relax." He told her.
"Thank you."
She went to the sofa and greeted Maxine and Keira. Then, she placed Kal over her lap and looked at Quinn who was busy sucking on her baby bottle.
"Quinn was bigger than the last I saw her." She said as she peeked at Quinn.
"She is." Keira took the empty bottle and put it away. Then, she picked Quinn and made her lean on her chest.
"Hi," Quinn." Violet kissed Quinn's forehead.
"I think Quinn was getting used to her brother taking care of her. Since her mom and dad aren't here."
"She's very occupied with Kal's cuteness." Keira giggled as Quinn looked at Kal with those bored eyes.
"Foodie." Kal extended his bun that looked smashed on his hands.
"That's not presentable Kal," Violet said as she quickly took the tissue and removed the smashed bun from his hands. Maxine helped her up on cleaning Kal's hand. Then, Violet holds the bun for Kal so he won't have to hold it.
"So, how's work?" Keira asked.
Violet wiped off her son's cheeks.
"I have a week off to stay with Kal and Quinn." She gently squeezed her son. "We will play so much for a week."
"That's great," Maxine exclaimed. "Terrence and I are planning to have groceries tomorrow. We need to restock fresh vegetables."
"You will also have your check-up tomorrow?" Violet asked.
"Yup, in the mansion."
Violet smiled and looked at her round tummy.
"By the way," Violet turned to Keira. "You guys need to be locked in here for like a week or so. We will be very busy next week and lots are going on."
"Why?" Maxine asked but then she bit her tongue when she realized what it was about. "Oh, okay."
"I am sure that Kal and Quinn will be safe here." Violet caressed Quinn's fat cheeks. "You need to be safe too, Max."
"I will." Maxine smiled and caressed her tummy. "I will get more juice." She said and stood. As soon as Maxine left, Violet turned to Keira.
"Your husband," Violet caressed Keira's hair and tucked it at the back of her ear. "Your husband, we will protect him."
"I heard." She nodded her head. "At the same time, The Serpent will visit the Kingdom. I am worried about my mother."
"Everything will be fine. I promise you. Once we have Victor, we will focus on curing the children and taking all of their experiments."
"It is better if we burn it all." She told her.
"We plan to.." Violet nodded her head.
