"Calm down, Larry. What are you going to do?" asked Jessica loudly in a worried tone as she followed closely behind Larry.
What else can I do? I'm going to Jake's place! Larry forged ahead firmly. He looked insanely cold at that moment. I will get to the bottom of it all. If Joan hasn't returned to the country, how are they going to have a wedding?
Larry got into his car and sped down the road.
The entrance to Jake's villa was eerily quiet. Even the beach was pitifully empty.
Why does everything seem so strange? Jessica slowly approached the villa to try to eavesdrop on anything from inside the villa.
"Jessica," hissed Caspian from some distance
away.
They had gathered together and were ready to implement their plan.
Nancy quickly cut a few holes in her clothes and shoved some chilies down her throat. Tears instantly rolled down her eyes.
Yep, she was deliberately making herself look terrible.
"Okay, I'm going to head in first. You guys act accordingly," instructed Nancy as she hurried over to the rest of them.
The rest of the gang were strangely firm when they nodded in agreement.
"Help, someone help! Please, help me," shouted Nancy suddenly while crying. She ran all the way to the villa and was pounding on the door.
Joan got up immediately to open the door after hearing that commotion. However, the housemaid stopped her from the side.
"Calm down, Ms. Watts. I'll go check things out," informed the housemaid before forcing Joan to sit back down. After that, the housemaid turned around and left to go open the door.
Dang, this housemaid is acting ridiculously proud.
Suspicion rose within Joan when she watched the figure heading towards the door. She would not dare to behave that way with me if Jake hadn't ordered her to do so... but why was Jake being so cautious?
