Chapter 284: Palace Intrigue in the Kindergarten_1

```

The first day of work wasn't busy, and Claudia Ross finished right on time at five o'clock. She called the nanny and decided to pick up little Ann from school herself.

By the time she arrived at the kindergarten, it was already half-past five, and all the other children had left, with only a few gathered together reading books and playing games.

"Little Ann, time to go home."

As soon as Claudia called out, all the children looked up at her, including Esmee Perry.

"Auntie Carol…" Esmee Perry rushed towards her and clung tightly to her legs.

Esmee's skin was as white as snow, and today she was wearing a red cashmere dress, which made her look even more like a shining little star, with her small mouth as red and moist as jelly.

"Esmee, long time no see. When did you start school?" Claudia crouched down and gently pushed back the bangs from Esmee's forehead.

Esmee was as cute as a doll, and Claudia couldn't help but reach out and touch her whenever she saw her.
