Chapter 42 They Cannot Find Me Finished Maggies eyes widened slightly in disbelief . Did I really say something like that ? she asked , her voice tinged with doubt . Leonard hesitated , unwilling to speak further , and remained silent . Fraser , this is the last footage we have of Mr. Joshua having a meal at the dining table . It seems he picked up a piece of chicken , dropped it on the table , and tried to pick it up to eat again . Thats when you and the young ladies got furious and chased him away . He found the recording and handed it to her with a solemn expression . After that day , Mr. Joshua never came back to the dining room to eat . Maggie glanced at the footage , and her surprise was evident . Because the footage had no sound , she could not hear what the people were saying . She could only see that she and her daughters were erupting in anger , their voices loud as they reprimanded Joshua . She also ordered him to stand as punishment and prevented him from continuing his meal . The boy in the video stood by obediently , motionless , as if he didnt dare to defy her . What could I have said back then ? Maggie murmured , her brows knitting together as she tried to recall the moment . But the memory escaped her , buried under the weight of time . Leonard exchanged a hesitant glance with Katherine , who stood nearby . I dont remember any of this ! Tell me , what exactly did I say that day ? Maggie demanded , her frustration evident as she looked at them . Leonard shifted uncomfortably before speaking . That day , you told him that if he couldnt correct his bad habits , he would never be allowed to eat at the dining table again . After he finished standing as punishment , he left , and he never returned to eat with the family . Her eyes widened further , and her tone turned incredulous . I really said something so harsh ? Mrs. Fraser , Katherine interjected quickly . Since then , he hasnt joined the family for meals . I think he took your words to heart and decided it was better to eat secretly in the kitchen . None of the young ladies ever called him back to the table , either . That might explain why hes become malnourished ! Her voice softened as she continued , her concern evident . Fraser , I think its best for you and Mr. Fraser to take him out to have a look . After all , he hasnt been home for days ! Maggie couldnt recall ever making such a statement . Her brows furrowed as she thought back to recent events . After a moment , she let out a cold laugh . Even if hes like this , its his own fault ! David , come with me ! David hesitated , his frown deepening . Where are we going ? Where else ? To his school ! I need to see for myself where hes been sneaking off to these past few days ! Her voice was sharp , and her teeth clenched in frustration . Do you even know which school and class hes in ? he frowned and asked skeptically . 1/3 3:19 am Chapter 42 They Cannot Find Me Finished If you dont know , do you think I wouldnt ? she snapped back angrily . He skips meals all the time . Who does he think hes fooling ? This time , he needs to be taught a proper lesson ! If we dont put him in his place , hell only grow more reckless ! Her determination left no room for argument . Without waiting for a response , she started gathering her things in a rush , ready to storm out . David , seeing no other options , could only follow her . Together , they made their way to 27th Street High . As they approached the school gates , Maggies contempt was evident in her voice . This is it , 27th Street High . The most useless school in all of Kepong ! Every student here is a failure , not a single decent one among them ! She shot David a pointed look . And this is where your precious son is enrolled ! He glanced at the school , his expression darkening . Which class is he in ? How would I know ? Lets go find out ! she retorted , her irritation bubbling over . Despite her bravado , she had no idea which class Joshua attended. Her only option was to confront the school authorities and demand answers . The school authorities were somewhat surprised to see her arrive and promptly called over Agnes , Joshuas homeroom teacher . Are you … relatives of Joshua ? Agnes asked in surprise as she glanced between them . Thats right ! Maggie responded without hesitation , her tone sharp and direct . Where is he ? Please call him over . I need to see him immediately ! Agnes hesitated before giving an apologetic look . Im sorry , but he isnt here today . He requested leave and hasnt been at school . From what I understand , hes out handling something . What ? Maggies face darkened instantly , and her voice rose in anger . Out handling something ? Hes probably wasting time and causing trouble ! I knew it ! He never focuses on his studies , always skipping school and neglecting his books ! Agnes frowned slightly at the outburst , her brows furrowing in quiet disapproval . Im afraid I dont know where he went . Hes not reachable at the moment . Maybe you could come back tomorrow and check again . Did he attend class yesterday ? Maggie demanded . Yes , he was here yesterday , Agnes confirmed . But today , he took leave . If I may ask , whats your relationship with him ? You dont seem to know much about his attendance . She was quite curious about their identities . Lets go to the police ! Maggie declared abruptly , not bothering to explain herself . The humiliation she felt left no room for patience or politeness . She stormed out of the building , with David trailing behind her . David hesitated as he followed , his voice tinged with uncertainty . The police might not be able to locate him right away . It could take some time , maybe even until tomorrow . Why not try calling Wendy ? Shell definiral.. Inahown ho 3:19 am Chapter 42 They Cannot Find Me Finished Maggies anger burned too hot for her to think twice . Without a moments hesitation , she took out her phone from her bag and immediately called Wendy . Wendy ! Where on earth has Joshua run off to ? Is he hanging around somewhere on the outskirts again ? 98 3/3 3:19 am Promise to Punish My Ridiculous Family
