As Kimora's words sank in, Nana suddenly thought of Jonathan.

If they couldn't defeat Maurice, they could still contact Jonathan and turn to him for help. But it was also quite a risky move. Jonathan and Maurice were two birds of the same feather. Neither of them seemed to be trustworthy.

If they asked Jonathan to deal with Maurice, they would immediately find themselves in another troubling situation.

According to Eliana, Aileen and Adrian were most likely to be Maurice's children. It seemed impossible for a father to harm his own kids. Even a vicious and ravenous tiger would not eat its own cubs.

Following that logic, it was clear that they had only one solution. They needed to follow Maurice's order.

Nana kept silent for a moment and then nodded to herself. The smart woman had finally made up her mind.

"Enough, Kimora. I disagree with your suggestion. After all, it's not safe for us to stay in this house any longer. It's time for us to leave. If anything unfortunate happens to us, we can always contact Mr. Bowman."

Why didn't Nana listen to her advice? This crucial decision was ruining her plans.

Kimora's face remained expressionless. Unbeknownst to the others, she was already thinking ahead. A clever idea suddenly formed in her mind. What if she went with them to their new hideout and then reported their movement to Jonathan?

Nana remained clueless about Kimora's true intentions. She was busy packing their belongings with the two children and preparing for the move.

After a short while, Corbin came over to lend a hand. The pair quickly stuffed the remaining items into suitcases, and they all went downstairs.

Several vehicles were parked at the community gate. Nana held the little hands of the two children and ushered them inside their designated car. But when Kimora followed behind, Corbin blocked her path.

"I'm sorry, but you can't go with them."

Kimora was caught by surprise. She turned to Corbin and frowned. "What do you mean? Miss Pierce asked me to personally take care of the two kids. I need to be with them at all times. It's for their own protection."

Wearing a polite smile on his face, Corbin locked eyes with her and said, "The jig is up, Kimora. After a thorough investigation, we've discovered that you're Jonathan's secret agent. He sent you to monitor Eliana and her children, right?"

Kimora's jaw dropped, and a hint of guilt could be seen in her eyes. She gulped anxiously and took a step back. "Okay, you caught me. What are you going to do to me now?"

"Don't worry. As per Mr. Moran's instructions, we won't be hurting you. But you obviously can't stay with the children anymore. Mr. Moran was kind enough to hire a new nanny to take care of the children, even if he wasn't responsible for them. After all, Jonathan is their biological father."

Although Corbin was smiling warmly, his eyes were full of coldness.

Hearing the shocking revelation, Kimora was utterly dumbfounded.

As far as she knew, Aileen and Adrian were not Jonathan's children. How could this man suddenly claim that Jonathan was the twins' father?

Kimora narrowed her eyes. Was it possible that they had misunderstood the entire situation all along?

If that was the case, then all was good. Once they left the area, she would immediately report the news to Jonathan. Kimora said nothing and simply looked at Corbin. She was not going to clarify his previous statement.

"Oh, one more thing." Corbin's eyes became sharper. "Besides, you can't go anywhere. From this moment forward, you are our prisoner."

"What did you say?" Kimora couldn't believe her ears. Before she realized what was happening, two burly men in suits had already pinned her arms behind her back.

"Now be obedient and give me your phone." Corbin reached out his hand and raised his eyebrows at Kimora.

"No. I won't give my phone to you. What you're doing is illegal. You will pay dearly for this." Kimora's face turned pale as she tried to break free from her captors.

"I wouldn't struggle and waste my energy resisting if I were you. These two gentlemen are not as patient as I am. So I suggest you be a good girl and do as I say."

Kimora glanced at the two brawny men who were gripping her arms tightly and shrank in fear. She was old and couldn't withstand being handled roughly. In the end, she sighed deeply and handed over her mobile device.

Pocketing her phone, Corbin smiled in satisfaction. He turned to his two subordinates and ordered, "Lock her in the house and stay alert. Don't let this woman out of your sight."

"Yes, sir." The two men promptly dragged Kimora toward Eliana's house, ignoring her protests. They forced her inside and slammed the door shut.

When Corbin got back into the car, Nana stared at him suspiciously. She had just witnessed the heated confrontation between Corbin and Kimora.

"Did you really have to lock up that old woman?"

Corbin smiled patiently and explained, "Kimora works for Jonathan. It's not safe to be around her. You don't want her to report all our movements to Jonathan and make the whole thing more complicated, do you?"

It seemed that Maurice had everything figured out. What a cunning man he was!

Nana felt uncomfortable, but she didn't utter a single word. She just silently held the children's hands and prayed for their safety.

The car slowly accelerated down the road toward an unknown destination.
