Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1887

Evan jumped out of his skin!

Before he could even process what was happening, something deeply hostile launched itself directly at him!

He didn't even have to lift a finger. White suddenly opened its eyes, and the attacking creature instantly plummeted to the floor.

With its fur standing on end, it stared at White, shivering uncontrollably.

"Meow—"

It was Min-jun's pet cat!

The feline clearly had a nasty temper and had immediately launched an attack the second a stranger entered its territory.

But one look at White had utterly terrified it!

Evan dropped his defensive stance and crouched down, reaching out to pet it. But the cat spun around, bolted for the open window, and vanished.

Evan ignored it and began a quick sweep of the bedroom.

Once he was certain the room was completely empty, he followed White's lead straight to the entrance of the basement.

The entrance was concealed behind a hidden door. Evan inspected it from every angle but couldn't figure out how to open it.

He looked down at his companion. "White, how does Min-jun open this?"

White simply stuck its tongue out. Evan looked utterly bewildered.

"The door just opens automatically? That's impossible!"

After pondering for a moment, he activated his smartwatch, slipped on his earpiece, and contacted Elliot and Elijah.

The two brothers were currently hiding nearby. The three of them linked up via a video feed.

Elliot asked first, "Are you sure no one is in there?"

"Positive," Evan replied. "Look, the hidden door is right here, but I have no idea how to trigger it. Can I just force it open?"

"Absolutely not," Elliot shot down the idea instantly. "If you break it, you'll trigger an alarm or make way too much noise. Did you ask White how Min-jun opens it?"

Evan sighed in frustration. "White says she just stands in front of it and it pops open on its own."

Elijah instantly chimed in.

"It must be a high-end smart lock. It can probably be controlled remotely over the network. Hold on a second, let me see if I can hack into it."

Hardly a minute after Elijah spoke, the hidden door suddenly clicked open!

Evan marveled, "Elijah, you're a genius!"

Elijah froze for a second. Even he wasn't entirely sure if he was the one who had actually bypassed the security.
