Chapter 1789
Sheila stumbled and was struck by her own front door, making her cry out a piercing shriek of pain.
The man in black looked down at Sheila, showing no mercy or tenderness. His voice was cold and harsh as he barked, “I saw our lady and her daughter enter your house, and they haven’t come out! Hand them over right now, or we won’t be so polite!”
He spoke calmly, but it was clear that this was a dangerous threat.
Suddenly, Sheila realized who they were referring to. Could it be the mother and daughter she had just locked upstairs and escorted to the restroom?
Oh, God! Had she inadvertently offended some high-ranking person’s family? What was she going to do?
Just as Sheila was caught in a mix of fear and panic, Tracy came hurrying down from upstairs. She was startled when she saw what was going on at the door, and even more so when she saw her daughter sprawled on the floor. She rushed to help Sheila up.
“Sheila, are you okay?”
Sheila could only shake her head. She was too nervous to speak.
Seeing this, Tracy became even more furious. She glared angrily at the uninvited men in black at the door. “Who the hell are you? What gives you the right to barge into our home and harm my daughter in broad daylight?”
The man in black repeated, “We’re here to find our lady and her daughter. I personally saw them enter your house, and they haven’t come out. Now, hand them over!”
Taken aback, Tracy asked, “Who are they? We haven’t seen them!”
“A beautiful and elegant middle-aged woman, accompanied by a little girl about this tall, with two pigtails. They entered your house about an hour ago. We’re here to pick them up.” The leading man spoke with a grim expression on his face and used his hands to describe Bertha’s and Lea’s height.
After the man in black had mimed the height of the child, Tracy’s face fell. She thought of the mother and daughter upstairs.
She exchanged a troubled look with Sheila, who seemed to have come to the same conclusion: they were in deep trouble.
These people obviously had some status, and it seemed they had inadvertently offended some powerful figure. What were they going to do?
Tracy remembered that she had just wounded a woman upstairs, leaving her to bleed profusely on the attic floor. If that was brought up, they would be in deep trouble.
So, she decided to deny everything. “Yes, the two individuals you described did visit our home, but they left after a short while and are not here anymore. You should look elsewhere!”
The man in black insisted. “Like I said, I did not see they leave your house.”
“Just because you didn’t see them leave doesn’t mean they’re still here! They came to our house looking for someone, but they got the wrong address. They left through our back door, saying it was closer to their next destination.”
The man in black’s expression remained calm and determined. “We have someone watching the back door as well, and they also didn’t see them leave. Ma’am, hand them over now, or we will begin searching your house.”
Sheila grabbed her mother’s arm in anxiety, whispering, “Mom, what…what do we do?”
Tracy took a deep breath. She saw no other choice but to stand her ground. “How dare you?! Who do you think you are?! You think you can barge into other people’s homes and threaten to search their place?! Be careful, or I’ll call the cops!”
