Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!

Chapter 489: Covert Operation

Little Elias jumped up in excitement, his handsome little face radiating a bright smile.

Seeing his son like this, Eric couldn’t bear to refuse. With a sigh of resignation, he got up and said, "Alright, you two head out. We’ll change clothes and wash up, then we’ll meet you downstairs."

Hearing Eric’s words, little Dorian and Elias cheered and raced downstairs like a whirlwind.

Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Harris were waiting apologetically outside. Ella smiled politely, greeted them, and then closed the door.

As Eric brushed his teeth and washed his face, he grumbled, "Ella, you’ve given birth to a foodie and a little mischief-maker!"

"What do you mean *I* gave birth? Didn’t you contribute? Or are you implying the kids are someone else’s?" Ella wrinkled her nose, raising her eyebrows in annoyance.

Eric quickly shook his head. "Okay, okay, it’s my bad! Of course, they’re mine too. Heh heh... How about you give me two daughters next?"

Ella: "..."

He must be crazy. Talking about having more kids just like that.

And what if they turn out to be boys again? Ella couldn’t imagine the chaos of several sons fighting over toys.

They finished getting ready at top speed, not wanting the little ones downstairs to wait too long.

The two kids were busy playing with their toy cars downstairs. When they saw their parents coming down, they cheered and ran over, each hugging one of them.

Ella picked up little Elias, who promptly kissed her on the cheek twice. "Mommy and Daddy, you’re the best!"

Eric and Ella exchanged a glance, their hearts melting with warmth and tenderness.

Having both experienced unhappy and difficult childhoods, they were determined to create a joyful atmosphere and give their children a happy, carefree upbringing.

No matter what, they would make sure their children didn’t repeat their own tragic pasts.

"Good boys! Let’s go. First, we’ll have breakfast at R Restaurant, then visit the zoo, and in the afternoon, we’ll go to the aquarium!"

"Yay! Daddy, you’re the best!" Little Dorian gave Eric a kiss on the cheek.

Eric’s happiness was off the charts.

The drive to R Restaurant went smoothly, and they arrived about ten minutes later. After ordering breakfast, they waited five minutes before steaming bowls of porridge were served, along with bread, fruits, and desserts.

Little Elias, surprisingly considerate, pushed the items he didn’t like over to little Dorian.

Ella noticed this and smiled faintly.

Although the younger one loved eating, he often handed over toys he didn’t care for to his elder brother. Even though the two often bickered and fought, it was something inevitable between siblings.

She silently wished that these two little guys would get along better as they grew up.

Meanwhile, not far away...

A curtain was drawn shut in a nearby building. Behind it, someone held a pair of binoculars, their gaze fixed on Ella’s location.

The family was dining in a private room at R Restaurant, each room equipped with large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Just then, the man’s phone buzzed.

"Boss, they’re dining at R Restaurant," came the raspy voice.

A cold voice responded from the other end, "Good. Proceed with the next step."

"Boss, are we really making a move today?"

"Yes. The orders have already come through!"

"Alright, I’ll arrange for action today... but they have four bodyguards with them, so there are a lot of people."

"Fool. Can’t you wait until they’re separated to act?" The voice on the other end sneered.

"Yes, understood!"

"This must succeed. Failure is not an option."

"Yes, Boss!"

Though the man’s tone was respectful, a hint of displeasure lingered in his heart. After ending the call, he made two more phone calls, instructing his people to keep a close watch on Eric’s family. He then packed up his things and left.

At R Restaurant, Ella’s family of four enjoyed breakfast. They decided to visit the zoo first since the crisp autumn weather was perfect for it. In the afternoon and evening, they planned to visit the aquarium, which featured plenty of underwater performances.

As they arrived at the zoo’s entrance, Eric received a phone call from Aurora.

"Mr. Nelson... hello, this is Aurora. I... I have a favor to ask. Would you mind helping me out?" Aurora’s voice was as melodious as a song. "I... sincerely hope you can help me, Mr. Nelson. My aunt is Mrs. Wilson, and I know my cousin’s behavior has been... less than ideal. I hope you won’t hold it against him. Could you give Kimi another chance, please?"

Eric frowned. He hadn’t expected Aurora to approach him so directly.

Given Mrs. Wilson’s low-class behavior and Kimi’s thoroughly unlikeable personality, Eric wasn’t inclined to intervene. However, Aurora was a top-priority talent under his company. If something happened now...

"I’ll think about it," Eric replied coolly.

Ella and their two sons stood nearby, waiting for him to finish his call. The four bodyguards positioned around them remained alert, their expressions tense as they surveyed the surroundings.

At the zoo’s entrance, six oversized mascot costumes had appeared at some point. These mascots, clearly worn by people, clumsily handed out promotional flyers to visitors as they passed by.

Gradually, the mascots began inching closer to Eric’s family.

Little Elias and Dorian were oblivious to the impending danger, still laughing and chasing each other.

One of the mascots approached Ella, holding out a flyer. Its bulky form blocked her line of sight.

At that moment, Dorian suddenly shouted.

"Mommy, I need to pee!"

Ella didn’t take the flyer and hurried over to Dorian. "There’s a public restroom nearby. Let’s go there!"

Dorian nodded. "Brother, are you coming?"

Elias scrunched up his nose. "Public restrooms are dirty and smelly. I’ll wait until we’re inside the zoo!"

Dorian frowned. "But I can’t hold it!"

Ella chuckled, glancing at Eric, who was still on the phone. She vaguely heard him mention Aurora’s name.

Frowning slightly, Ella felt a pang of unease. Women had an innate sense of danger, unrelated to confidence. No matter how much a man loved them, time could erode his devotion. She didn’t want any woman, especially one like Aurora, threatening her relationship with Eric.

"Honey, watch Elias! I’m taking Dorian to the restroom!" Ella called out loudly.

Eric turned back and nodded. "Go ahead. I’m on a call... Aurora, I don’t need you to do anything. While I value your talent, it doesn’t mean I’ll tolerate your uncle and aunt’s nonsense."

Ella rolled her eyes. If you’re not going to tolerate it, just hang up already. What’s with all the talking?

With that thought, she led Dorian toward the restroom. Dorian waved the flyer in his hand. "Mommy, what kind of ad is this? It’s not even about food. Why’d that mascot give it to me?"

He glanced at the flyer filled with dense text and grimaced.

Ella took it and froze. It was an ad for abortion services. She clenched her fists. Seriously? Giving this to a three-year-old?!

Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine. Something wasn’t right.

First, Dorian was only three years old—why would they hand such a flyer to him? Second, these types of flyers usually featured colorful images to catch children’s attention. Third, why were there six mascots in one spot? It didn’t add up.

Ella spun around, her eyes widening in horror as her blood ran cold.

The four bodyguards had been tackled by four of the mascots. The remaining two were sprinting toward a large truck parked nearby.

Two men in black were carrying Elias toward the truck!
