It was a rainy night.
Elissa was on top of Kieran. She was shouting angrily and clawing him aggressively.
Kieran put his arms up in defence, but his face was still filled with scratches and there was blood. He screamed from time to time in anguish.
Tommy was lying on the wet ground. He hugged his legs and screamed in pain while looking super pale.
The two sullen security guards were shocked at the scene. They looked at them with a blank stare.
Were… they lunatics?
They glanced at each other and were going to leave.
The location was rather far away from the villa’s main entrance. These lunatics shouldn’t be able to bother the people in the villa.
As long as they didn’t get close to the entrance, the securities didn’t want to meddle.
As soon as they turned around and was going to leave.
“Stand there!”
The hysterical Elissa stood up and grabbed both security guards like a madman, “Watchdogs, where are you going? Let us in, we are Jack Hughes’s in-laws. And him, he is Jack’s brother-in-law!”
Elissa said as she pointed at Tommy who was on the ground.
The security guards were dumbfounded.
Kieran couldn’t care less about the pain on his face. He quickly stood up and grabbed Elissa, “Please, I beg you. Stop making a scene…”
His voice was filled with sorrow, he was practically begging her.
But Elissa turned around, her eyes visibly bloodshot even in the rain. She glared at Kieran harshly as if she wanted to eat him alive.
“Shut the fuck up! We have no other way!”
Kieran was shocked.
His heart was filled with tremendous pain.
True, they had no other way!
Tens of millions were gone in an instant and Elissa owed the loan shark millions.
The normal family was only rich for a while and they were back to square one. No, they were in a worse situation than before.
Katherine cut ties with them. They wouldn’t be able to find a cash cow to pay their debt. They would probably need to kill themselves.
Kieran thought about a lot of stuff, he felt as if he was in a trance.
Suddenly, tears rolled off his eyes.
At this moment.
The security guard said, “Sorry, there’s no one name Hughes here.”
As he finished his sentence, a lightning bolt struck against the dark sky.
Elissa, Kieran and Tommy were shocked, as if they were struck by the thunder and lightning.
They were dumbfounded.
Tommy, who was on the ground, stopped yelling.
“No one named Hughes? How could it be?”
Elissa couldn’t believe her ears. Her eyes were wide opened as she mumbled to herself, “You guys are lying, you guys are lying to us. The bastard Jack Hughes lives at the TM Villa District. We visited him here once, how could he be gone?”
Elissa was hysterical.
The security guards seemed annoyed at her.
But remembering how she acted just now, they tried to be careful with her as she might be actually crazy.
They suppressed their annoyance and anger.
They said again, “Sorry, there’s no one name Hughes here. We were trained to remember every name of the people who live here. A name like that really doesn’t exist. Maybe… they moved away?”
“They moved?”
Elissa’s face blanched, she stumbled backwards.
At this moment, she felt like the sky was going to fall on her.
She gambled away her fortune and was in debt. She had never felt like this before.
