After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 700

Chapter 700 The Feud (5) Hannah Left

"Who's there!" shouted the guard at the door.

Manuel was stunned for one second and acted to be scared out.

"Sorry." He said and tried to leave.

"Hold on!" the guard stopped him.

Manuel tensed up but still halted as ordered.

"Where's the other guy?" he questioned and looked Manuel up and down.

The army guards and the patrol party were two different units. The former was in a higher position, so they showed little respect to the patrol guys.

"My partner had a stomachache when we walked the beat." Explained Manuel in a low voice.

"What's his name?" the guard pulled a long face. Of course, he wouldn't go easy on someone who neglected his duties. However, in no way did Manuel know his name.

"I'm new here. I don't remember his name..." Manuel spoke with hesitation.

"How dare you cover for him!"

Manuel said nothing more.

"Anyway, I can find out who he is. Go on the patrol!"

"Yes, sir." Manuel walked away immediately and sighed with relief.

He went past the courtyard where Hannah lived and found some guards watching the door. It was impossible for him to get in through the door. Thus, he had to climb over the wall once again. He calculated the time and found a perfect spot. He jumped in one bound and climbed over the wall effortlessly.

At 7 PM, it was getting darker outside, which made it easier for him to hide.

Manuel hid behind a big tree and didn't go through the yard and get in the house until he confirmed no other patrol guys or guards were there. The light in the room was dim and it was quiet around. It seemed that Hannah was not in there. Otherwise, she was supposed to be eating dinner in the yard at this hour.

Manuel hid himself in the room for a while but still didn't see Hannah or Jimmy. Gritting his teeth, he avoided all the cameras and sneaked into Hannah's bedroom, which was unlocked and the light inside was out. Manuel looked around and was sure that Hannah wasn't there.

But where was she?

She should have been back by this hour, and she wouldn't stay out long without Melvin.

At this moment, he heard footsteps. Manuel got in a wardrobe instantly. The door was opened as soon as he closed the wardrobe. Meanwhile, the light was on. Manuel saw through the door and saw a middle-aged woman coming in and doing the cleaning.

"Why this lady left so soon..." She cleaned and said to herself.

Manuel frowned. He opened the wardrobe's door abruptly as he confirmed no one else was in the room.

The woman was taken aback. She tried to scream but Manuel covered her mouth. She could do nothing else but stare at Manuel with fear.

"Don't worry. I won't hurt you. You just need to answer a few questions." Manuel lowered his voice.

But the woman was still very scared.

Manuel was pressed for time and threatened, "Nod if you got it!"

She pulled herself together and nodded immediately.

"Did Hannah Wells live here?" asked Manuel.

The woman nodded.

"Did she leave today?"

She nodded.

"Did she leave in the morning?"

The woman shook her head.

"Did she leave in the afternoon?"

She nodded.
