Charlie coldly stared at Lily, without a word.
He figured out from Lily's fear that Noah was indeed here!
"Is there anyone inside? I want to go in and check it out first."
"Yes, there is."
Samuel didn’t pay any more attention to Lily. He replied at once, "There are usually maids cleaning the house. Mr. Firth, if you think it's okay, Vivi can take it tomorrow."
After saying that, he walked forward, unlocked the door with his fingerprint and led Charlie inside.
Lily walked slowly behind them, losing strength...
She watched as Samuel took Charlie upstairs. She said nervously in horror, "Samuel, no one lives upstairs. We don’t need to go up."
Charlie didn’t look back and quickened his steps instead, "Let's take a look."
Samuel had no doubts. Even though Lily indeed seemed a bit strange today, she was always so lazy. He still ignored her and went upstairs with Charlie.
Lily was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She thought for a moment and followed them upstairs.
When they reached the second floor, Charlie slowed down. He opened each room to check inside. If he didn't see anyone, he would close the door immediately and move to the next room.
Finally, when he got to the last room, he forcefully grabbed the doorknob.
Lily's heart almost jumped out of her throat as she screamed, "Mr. Firth!"
Hearing her cracked voice, Charlie compressed his lips firmly. He turned the knob, and the door slammed open right in front of his eyes...
"No!"
