Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Five Families Have Already Reported the Case
"Letâs keep in touch on WeChat." After exchanging contacts with Tori Lynn, Renee Jennings stood up and watched her and Yvette Brooks leave.
When Jean saw the two of them approaching, she quickly asked, "What were you talking about that made you so happy?"
"We were just talking about pets and kids," Tori Lynn said with a smile. "She has a Golden Retriever, too. We can arrange for him to play with Owen next time."
"Oh, I see." Jean nodded, taking the stroller from her. "Iâll push Lele."
As Tori Lynn let go of the stroller, she frowned slightly.
Pushing the stroller, Jean walked and said, "Tori, when are you planning to go on that trip?"
"We havenât decided yet," Tori Lynn sighed. "Now that we have a child, we canât just pick up and go like we used to."
"But you have me, donât you?" Jean said with a chuckle. "With me watching Lele, you can rest easy. Go wherever you want."
A flash of disgust crossed Tori Lynnâs eyes, but her tone remained gentle. "Youâre right. Weâve been so lucky to have your help this past year, Jean."
"Thatâs right. All my employers say the same." Jean instantly looked smug.
Yvette Brooks rolled her eyes, cursing inwardly, âDisgusting woman!â

Tori Lynn provided Jeanâs ID information. Renee Jennings sent it to Henry Stark to investigate, and he discovered that the ID was a fake.
A facial recognition search in the police database confirmed that Jeanâs real name was Lydia Lawson, a wanted fugitive.
Over the past ten years, five families had filed police reports. While working as a nanny, Lydia Lawson had ruined the lives of five families.
Henry Stark had been following this case, but he had never found any solid leadsâuntil Renee Jennings sent him the information today.
Henry Stark immediately called Renee Jennings.
Renee Jennings had just finished dinner and was in the yard playing with her cats and dogs.
"Henry," she answered. When they saw her take out her phone to talk, the cats and dogs all obediently ran off to play by themselves.
"Renee, we have a hit," Henry Stark said, his tone serious. "The name on the ID, Luna Lee, is fake. Her real name is Lydia Lawson..."
Learning that Lydia Lawson had already victimized five families, Renee Jenningsâs brow furrowed, her expression grim. "Thatâs despicable."
"It is," Henry Stark said in a low voice. "Send me the address. Iâll arrange for surveillance."
"Okay."
"And Lydia Lawsonâs contact information. Iâll have the tech team put a wire on her."
"Understood."
After hanging up, Renee Jennings made a WeChat voice call to Tori Lynn.
She answered quickly. "Miss Jennings, hello."
Renee Jennings said, "Miss Lynn, the police need you to provide Luna Leeâs phone number, WeChat account, and your home address."
"Okay, Iâll send them over now," Tori Lynn replied.
Before hanging up, Renee Jennings added a warning, "Donât let her take Lele out alone."
"I understand." Tori Lynn gripped her phone, her back stiffening. "Iâll be careful."
She looked toward the door, her eyes darkening.
She sat in her bedroom late into the night. At last, there was a sound from outside the door, followed by the turn of the doorknob.
Tori Lynn got up and opened the door. Seeing the man standing in the doorway, her tense nerves finally eased. "Honey, youâre finally back."
"Whatâs wrong?" Tyson Doyle frowned, looking at her with concern. "What happened?"
Usually, his wife wouldnât lock the door if he wasnât home yet. But today, she had.
"Come inside first." Tori Lynn let him into the room, glanced outside, and then locked the door securely.
She turned to meet Tyson Doyleâs questioning gaze and explained in a low voice, "I have something very important to tell you."
"Iâm listening."
"Jean is a human trafficker." Tori Lynn pulled up the wanted notice Renee Jennings had sent her. "Her real name is..."
Ten minutes later, after hearing the whole story, Tyson Doyleâs face was dark, his eyes blazing with fury. "Damn it! How dare she go after Lele!"
"Tomorrow, Iâll get her out of the house," Tori Lynn said. "You have someone install hidden cameras."
Renee Jennings said they couldnât risk tipping her off yet. Tori was afraid that suddenly preventing Lydia Lawson from watching Lele would make her suspicious.
But she still couldnât rest easy, so installing more cameras to keep an eye on her was the only option.
"Okay." Tyson Doyle nodded. "Iâll make the arrangements now."
The next day, Tori Lynn took Lele out to play, with Lydia Lawson accompanying them, while Tyson Doyle stayed home to have the hidden cameras installed.
Meanwhile, the police were closely monitoring Lydia Lawsonâs communications.
Sawyer discovered that Lydia Lawson had sent numerous photos of Lele to one of her WeChat contacts.
Not only that, but this same contact had also transferred money to Lydia Lawson two months prior.
She immediately had the tech team run a check on the userâs identity.
Simon Garrison, male, 42, resident of Lynfell. Married 12 years, no children.
âAfter being married that long with no children, itâs either by choice or because they canât have any.â
âSince he had transferred money to Lydia Lawson, the answer was obvious: it was the latter.â
Sawyer quickly reported this discovery to Henry Stark.
Henry Stark immediately called a meeting, after which he contacted the Lynfell police and had them take Simon Garrison into custody.

Tori Lynn was in the living room playing with Leleâs toys. Lydia Lawson brought out a plate of sliced fruit, set it on the coffee table, and clapped her hands toward the baby. "Lele, come let Aunt Jean hold you. Let Mommy take a break."
Tori Lynn suppressed her resentment and forced herself to act normal. She let go of Lele and picked up a fork to spear a piece of fruit.
Holding Lele, Lydia Lawson asked with a smile, "Tori, have you decided when youâre going on vacation yet?"
âThe buyer has been hounding me for the past two days,â she thought. âThey said they canât wait and are even willing to pay more.â
"Havenât decided yet." Tori Lynn paused before adding, "Vivi hasnât confirmed the dates."
"Oh, I see." Lydia Lawson curled her lip. "Some friend, inviting you somewhere without even setting a date."
Tori Lynn said lightly, "I wouldnât know."
"In that case, can I take Lele to my place for a few days?" Lydia Lawson asked. "Iâll send you videos of Lele every single day."
"Weâll see," Tori Lynn said.
That night, as Tori Lynn was getting ready for bed, she received a voice call from Renee Jennings and immediately sat up straight to answer it.
"Miss Jennings."
"Good evening, Miss Lynn." Renee Jennings stood on her balcony, gazing up at the dark night sky. "The buyer is in custody. Weâve introduced an undercover buyer to Lydia Lawson, so sheâll likely try to complete the transaction within the next few days."
"No wonder she asked me when I was going on vacation tonight."
"You absolutely cannot let her be alone with Lele," Renee Jennings urged.
They had been monitoring Lydia Lawson closely, but aside from the buyer, she hadnât contacted anyone else.
The goal now was to get Lydia Lawson to contact her network.
"I understand," Tori Lynn replied earnestly.
Renee Jennings added, "Thereâs one more thing I need your help with."
"What is it?"
"Can you find a way to get your hands on Lydia Lawsonâs phone?"
