What the three kids didn't know was that Bonnie actually saw and heard everything!
Bonnie heaved a sigh helplessly. In order to bring up three kids, she had been short of money all the time, so the children had always been ambitious and worked hard to make money, saying that they would take her around the world when they saved 100 million.
At first, Bonnie was gratified to hear that. But later, she was surprised to find out that Erika made money by reading people's faces. However, Erika was only five. What if she offended her clients and got hit?
Worried, Bonnie kept telling them not to go out to make money again, but sometimes, she just couldn't stop them. Like now, the three kids were about to "work" again when she was asleep.
Bonnie went back to the room and put on a gray sweat suit and a cap, ready to get the three kids back and teach them a lesson!

In Coquelicot Cafe, a glamorous woman in her 30s dressed in designer clothes and luxury brands sized Erika up, confused. "So… you are fortune teller Erika?"
Erika straightened up to make herself look taller, the strawberry decoration on her bun shaking as she nodded. "Exactly. I'm fortune teller Erika!"
"Don't be ridiculous, kid. Where's the real fortune teller Erika? Tell me, and I'll buy chocolate for you." The gorgeous woman took out a $100 bill out of her purse, trying to coax Erika into telling the truth.
Erika, nevertheless, didn't take the bill, but stared at that woman with her amber eyes, saying in her cute voice, "Judging from the wrinkles between your brows, your thin lips and your dark earlobes, you must have lost something or been robbed recently, I assume?"
The gorgeous woman froze upon hearing that before leaning across the table. "How did you know that?"
Erika pressed her plump lips together and leaned back in the chair. "Because I'm fortune teller Erika. I can tell from your face."
Now the gorgeous woman believed in Erika. She stopped looking down upon her and stared at her reverently instead.
"Please help me, fortune teller Erika. My business has been losing money for the last six months. We used to earn income from the same orders, but now things go awry all the time, and we've even suffered a 30% loss. Have I been possessed by something?"
"You had cosmetic surgery on your face." Erika looked closely at her face. "You did a face-lift to reshape your jawline, I assume? It has a negative effect on your luck financially, so you've been losing money. To change that, you need to get your old jawline back."
The gorgeous woman covered her cheeks with her hands and started to thank Erika after a long pause. She took out a check for $50, 000, hurried off and went straight to the plastic surgery hospital.
Erika held up the check with a smile and waved it at Lukas not far away from her. "Look, Lukas! I've had the fifth one million!"
"I'm so proud of you, Erika. Let me get you some ice cream. Wait here for me." Lukas walked towards the ice cream shop nearby as he spoke.
Her legs dangling, Erika sat on the chair and hummed to herself, waiting for the ice cream to come.
"little lady Joanna, I've finally found you. Come home with me now. Your dad is going to freak out!" Suddenly, someone showed up in front of Erika and said anxiously.
Erika blinked her eyes. "Who are you? I don't know you!"
"little lady Joanna, please stop joking. Come with me! Your dad is waiting for you outside." The man grabbed Erika's wrist and pulled her out of the cafe.
Erika kept struggling, and her sunflower hat fell on the ground.
"Help! Lukas! Help!" Erika yelled at the ice cream shop.
Hearing Erika's scream, Lukas looked around immediately and rushed towards his sister. "Erika!"
