"Hey, hey, hey!" Joyce was shocked and called back in a hurry.
But all that awaited her was, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available."
It's as if the caller just now never existed.
She stared at the phone in a daze, intense unease and fear of the unknown gradually overwhelmed her. Her head was swollen and her heart was pounding violently. This was not a prank, but a threat!
Stephanie was the only one in the Warner residence today, and Mr. Arnold was not there either. Was it a mugging? What did they want when they asked her to go alone? To ask for money? Unlikely, she could not pay them, so why would they ask her for it? Or maybe Stephanie was threatened and asked the mugger to call her? How else would the people know her phone number?
She had absolutely no clue and could not analyze it.
She didn't dare bet on it, even though she knew the call was doubious.
She couldn't call the police either. If Stephanie was really in danger, she couldn't afford to risk her life.
After getting along for a long time, she had long considered Stephanie as her own grandmother. How could she watch her loved one in trouble and not save her?
She opened her backpack, took out the pistol Luther had given her, and pinned it to her waist. Since the attack, she usually carried the pistol with her.
Right now, she would just have to go back to the Warner family no matter what the situation would be, and no matter how bad the situation could be.
She came to the elevator hall, and saw that the elevator was still stuck on above 50th floor. She did not have the time to wait, simply got into the emergency stairway, rushed downstairs, all the way to the road, and reached out to stop a cab.
She opened the door and immediately got in, panting, and said to the driver, "No. 1 Sophora Street, please."
Along the way, she waited impatiently for the red light, looking at her watch over and over again.
The person who just called never called her again.
